Live on East Coast
Delayed on the West.
Which is idiotic because it runs all night. Phelps just won but it’s not on TV for another three hours. EVERYTHING will be known already when it is broadcast.
To make matters worse, the cool stuff, you know…that people actually want to see…is not being broadcast over the net at all, even though pretty much everything else is, live. It’s just a travesty of broadcasting.
So, in short, if you are on the West Coast, you can’t watch things live unless they don’t matter, then you can watch them on the net.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.'

tests = 2 innings per side, up to 5 days, draws possible
ODI = One Day Internationals, limited overs with an adjustment system so the side that bats second gets fair ups.
20-overs = each side gets (approximately) 120 pitches.

They also use in cricket an infrared camera to see it a batsman was hit on his pads to determine LBW (Leg Before Wicket). If he’s hit, it leaves a heat signature.
That might or might not work in seeing if a ball hit the bat or a HBP occurred, but usually we can just hear it in the first instance, or in the latter the batter lays in the dirt, clutches his balls and howls like a gut-shot coyote. Good times.

and more to the point, outs are so very much more important in cricket than baseball. losing a top batsman in one of the two innings to a disputed call can gut a side’s chances.

To be fair, I believe Abner Doubleday’s dying words were “If it ever becomes possible to review the home run on a screen after the play has already occurred due to enormous advances in technology, I am wholeheartedly against it. It would ruin the spirit of the game.”

I’m pretty sure that’s on his tombstone.

Abner is known to have said this while thatching the roof over his Sony Plasma.

lol, I meant in terms of the time it takes to do the replays, but Brian Sabean would agree with that

Lastest from Baggs
The Giants still had not announced the signing of decorated Florida State catcher Buster Posey, the fifth overall choice — likely because his bonus was expected to come close to tripling the recommended slot value of roughly $2.5 million, and teams are discouraged from making such deals official until the final minutes.
But Florida State coaches said that they fully expected Posey to sign.

I like that these guys just go with things rather than getting all flustered and yelling at the dudes in the truck. Giants broadcasters = the best!!

Juan Carlos Perez
The Giants 13th rounder Perez plays CF, has speed and power – this kid intrigues me and he just might be a sleeper
by wilriv21 on Aug 15, 2008 8:24 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I had no idea who he was until Baggs mentioned him on his blog with this quote
Hmmm…A Dominican slugger who was drafted after putting up big numbers for a small, Midwestern junior college…I can’t think of anyone who matches that description, can you?
Yea… not happening, but even the thought of us finding a possible Pujols makes me giddy.
by superk1ng on Aug 15, 2008 8:31 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Pujols is a solid, bigtalented fella over 6 feet while Perez is under 6 feet tall

you may be correct, have seen some stats that had him as short as 5’10"

Posey
Just a half hour before the deadline. MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo is hearing conflicting reports about whether Giants top pick Buster Posey has signed a $6.75MM big league deal.

On Sabean, I’d buy a round for all of Florida if I were Buster.

I expect it’ll be a little like the trade deadline, where we don’t necessarily find out at 9p.m. precisely
