Silverlight
I’m tempted to try it out. It would probably be worth eating a month subscription even if it didn’t work that well. It seems OK when looking at highlights on MLB.com, but I have no idea what a full game stream would do to me.
by MeanMr.Mustard on May 12, 2008 9:07 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
It's worked for me
Media player tended to stop to buffer and would occasionally lose the game altogether… also, the newest version, if another window came up the screen would turn black and if I moved the window with media player in it a bit, the picture would come back.
by Inkara1 on May 12, 2008 9:09 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's pretty good
If you can get it working immediately. Lots and lots of people having problems with it.
Following the game @ 1.2M looks great, but will leave you behind in the game as compared to the rest of the gameday thread. If that matters to you.
by cmkelly29 on May 12, 2008 9:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Would it leave you more behind compared to media player?

Depends...
on what speed you’re using.
800k seems to be real time.
by cmkelly29 on May 12, 2008 9:13 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm on 400K
Too cheap to get 800K or 1.2M and my DSL seems to be not so great… although with silverlight being smoother, maybe it would be worth the upgrade now.

At this point
I just want to be able to see or hear the games. Delays aren’t really a big deal to me.
Like I said, Silverlight’s worked OK for me on the freebie highlight vids, so I hopefully wouldn’t experience the issues you’re referring to.

You have to try and spare your bullpen any time you can have your starter go out and pitch an extra inning. As long as someone is ready to go at the first sign of trouble, I can live with that decision.

And he bobbled the ball – but he was positioned in too far, so it’s true, it’s unlikely anyone makes that play. But someone else might have had a better chance to make that play, that’s what I’m saying.

WTF?
Then there’s the issue of safety. About 8.7 million residents live in the state and many of them, including more than one million senior citizens, have little experience in pumping gas. Assemblyman Francis L. Bodine® said this is one reason he’s opposed to the idea. Plus, “If I’m dressed up, I don’t want to get out and smell like a gas pump,” said Bodine, who represents the Mount Laurel area near Philadelphia.
It’s not rocket science, and that quote is just ridiculous.

Do they have 24-hour gas stations there?
Here in California, many stations lock up at 10 or whatever, but leave on the pumps, which have card readers in them.

Thing for me is...
I’m very specific about how I do my gas. I pump on the slowest setting the pump will do, and once it clicks off the first time, I do two more clicks. My guess is the gas station attendant will have it pump as fast as it can (sending more vapor back into the station’s tank) and not top it off at all.
by Inkara1 on May 12, 2008 9:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
they do the automatic fast one
and top it off a lot more than I ever would. They click at least 8 clicks passed. I always wondered about that.

i admit
laird has a certain craftiness.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
by DSheppard on May 12, 2008 9:48 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
perhaps hes really left handed
i hear they are crafty.
and he is in fact the impact hitter he thinks, but handicaps himself by batting righty for equality.

Geez
Having Shelton bunt so that Duran and Vazquez can try to drive him in.
I’d rather have taken my chances with Shelton.

I think that may have been the dumbest bunt call by Wash in his entire tenure here
Hopefully it works out, but god, that’s annoying.

it isn't official
but when it comes to pitches inside and outside, it’s pretty accurate considering the width is based on the plate size…. high and low, there’s probably some room for error..
