New HD scoreboard's up...

I'm sure anyone who's been driving into or out of the city at night has seen the new scoreboard lit up with a lot of Barry Bonds homer footage. The screen looks super wide, like the ones at the newer NFL stadiums (well, I guess Candlestick has a relatively large, wide screen but it never looked high definition to me). Not what I was expecting. I was expecting this massive, hulking square of a screen but this looks much cooler. It does, as expected, replace the old scoreboard entirely but it looks like it basically retains its footprint.

Color me psyched.

Re: New HD scoreboard's up...
Hopefully the new content matches the new hardware, like showing blown calls in glorious 1920x1080.

If it's going to be more dancing hats and neon-colored cable cars, then I'd rather see an analog scoreboard.

Fool me seven times, shame on you. Fool me eight or more times, shame on me.

Magowan disappoints me
I was hoping they could stack three layers of advertising over the new board.

Maybe obliterate the clock.

You know, take clutter and commercialism to another level.

It's too green. Somebody needs to adjust the color.
By the way, Bochy has a big head.

Well, it's a rookie scoreboard.

Ha...just make sure you've got the strap tied down nice and snug.  I don't wanna buy a new HD screen when you throw your controller thingy through it.

I will repeat what I said when I first heard about this new screen, "I would rather have a real first baseman."

My boy says "hi".

(I hope the new scoreboard is easier to see when the sun is hitting it.)

Biggest mankinder in the history of no brain. I adopted Klesko; guess that makes me his "padre".
