Re: Quick Poll...

I will watch every game I can. It's not like I have anything else to do. Other than that other stuff.

Re: Quick Poll...

I can't afford the $150 or so for the internet feed, but I can definitely afford the $15 for the radio feed.  I'll WATCH every time they're on TV here (why, in San Luis Obispo, CA, charter offers FSNATL, but not FSNBA I'll never understand) but I'll be listening to most of the games

Re: Quick Poll...

I live in Washington right now and work all around the world/country... I'm hoping to do around 41-60 this year though... MAYBE i'll get to cali during the season, i've seen one game in person the last two years :(
mlb.tv was not worth its money to me last year, but I'm not sure how much of that was the fault of my shitty internet connection out of the country...

slingbox is the greatest invention of all time, if you have family in the bay i highly recommend buying one

Re: Quick Poll...

Word up to that. It makes my Giants fandom (and masochism) possible even though I'm two states away.

Re: Quick Poll...

I prefer the XM radiocast. Partly because i still enjoy the romance of listening to games on the radio, and partly because it's easier to work into both my work schedule and the crucial domestic bedtime negotiations. Also, my XM records as well so if I do happen to nod off before the games end, I can listen to the rest of it the next morning on the metro in to work. I'd put it in the 140 games range, depending on vacations.

Haven't missed a game in years

I'll probably go to 50-75% of the home games.  My DVR records the games I can't watch live.

Re: Quick Poll...

Baseball is like crack to me.  It's not like I can just stop whenever I want to; I don't care how bad it will be for me next season I just can't not get my fix of Giants games.

Re: Quick Poll...

I can't get any games on the local tube and my mom would probably murder me if I got mlb.tv.

I'm going to be happy listening to Kruk, Kuip, Lon and the gang on the radio however.

It's the best thing on TV during the summer.  Now that DirecTV has FSNHD it should be great.  I can't wait.

Re: Quick Poll...

I voted 91-125, just 'cause I'll probably occasionally have other things to do that are more immediate (I always have in the past, anyway), but I'll be watching as many as I can and reading the box score for every single one of 'em.

Re: Quick Poll...

The only games I'll miss all year are in July when my wife drags me on the family vacation. Even then I'll catch a few on mlb.tv. I'll watch every night game, and I'll listen to every day game at work on my XM radio. All I'm doing right now is counting down the days to pitchers and catchers. When Jan 1 comes around, I finally feel like I'm going to make it.

Re: Quick Poll...

As many as I can. Probably 90% at least of night games, and radio during the day. Bad or not, like the man said, I can't not.

Oh and the whole time I'll be rooting for Ortmeier the whole time.

Re: Quick Poll...

I'll probably total about 90 games:

20 in person
40 complete games on TV
60 partial games totaling about 30

I'll probbaly catch another 30 or so on the radio, but that wasn't part of the question.

Re: Quick Poll...

I voted 41-60, mainly on Slingbox, and only night games (since day games are in the middle of the night for me).

I have set Dave Roberts free; if he comes back, it was meant to be.

125-162. Just one of the perks of my (mostly) non-paying job as blogger extraordinaire.

Thanks to DVR magic, I'll be able to fast forward the crappy innings.
