Damn, Hamilton back in there already?

I was kinda thinking he could use a day off after getting hit in the hand…

Josh is back?

Yay! Although I would prefer they not push it and give him an extra day off if needed, you gotta hope they know what they are doing and he is really OK.

Yep,

that part sucks. I listen to about 70% of the games on the radio, and victor gets old sometimes.

Considering we've scored 0 runs.

Exactly 0 times this season, you’re already setting yourself up for failure.

We’ll score like 3-4, they’ll score a bunch more.

by LiamP on Jun 27, 2008 6:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Move Bradley to RF

Hamilton to CF and keep Murphy in LF. Then make Max your DH. Now that is an amazing lineup.

5-2

I have to get the dish pointing in the right direction since I just moved and setup the receiver.

That is not ...

... always an option. I am in Rangers territory so cant watch on mlb.tv but get more Astros games than Rangers on TV. So don’t assume that he is being cheap. He could just be the victim of some very archaic rules.

by Melmart1 on Jun 27, 2008 7:06 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Maybe I'm just stupid for actually following rules...

but I pay for mlb.tv, and to have people getting it for free is kind of annoying.

by cmkelly29 on Jun 27, 2008 7:09 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It's not about following rules ...

... if you live in San Antonio like me, FSN usually has the Astros on. Since I am considered Rangers territory though, I can’t use mlb.tv.

So why should I be the victim of some bullshit rules like that? How can I be in Rangers territory but get Astros games. FUCK THAT!!! When TIme Warner cable doesn’t show the Ragners on the alternate channel, you bet your ass I will watch a TV Ants link, rules be damned.

by Melmart1 on Jun 27, 2008 7:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm not Bud Selig...

I don’t make the rules.

If it’s occasional, that’s one thing. If someone is watching every game for free, it kind of irks me.

I pay decent money to watch this team, and I don’t want to spend more than that on it next year because people have TVants figured out.

Well, TVants doesn't have every game

It’s hit and miss for a team like the Rangers. If you actually want to be garunteed to catch every game, you do have to have MLB.tv – so if it’s any consolation, you still are getting at least part of what you pay for.

you really shouldn't concern yourself with other people

i pay for mlb.tv but am happy to help out others with a free link. its not as nice as mlb.tv anyway. but, more importantly, what do I care what someone else is doing? more than that, how does it hurt me if someone else is benefiting?

If Mr. Selig would ease up on the money-grabbing 'broadcast rights'

and team ‘home areas’, it wouldn’t be as big an issue.

Take it from someone who lived 400mi away from DFW but couldn’t watch games on TV or MLB.tv because of the draconian rules..

btw

I came to visit dallas today. Blacked out on mlb.tv – based on IP. Used an anonymous proxy to get around it. I forgot who I was having that conversation with

It finally worked with me. Thanks for the help.

you got it to work with an anonymous proxy?

I thought about it later and I guess its possible that mlb.com uses both billing zip code and IP address to block you so just wondering how you got it to work.

by ab03 on Jun 27, 2008 7:06 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

My issue with it

Was that I was putting the proxy in wrong to start with, and then one of the two you gave me didnt work.

When I figured it out, and got the right proxy, it worked. And as soon as the game started up, I went back to my normal setup.
