Hey guys, in case anyone else is having problem with MLB gameday audio
I’ve spent the better part of my day Monday afternoon and all this morning and their idiot tech people still can’t get it to work. Anyway, I found it for free here: Thought I would share in case somebody out there is having the same issues:
mms://streamer2.securenetsystems.net/WDZA
If this works consistently I’m cancelling my gameday audio subscription. The new player and their customer service is awful.
Mine seems to be operating OK.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

"I knew we were in for a long season when we lined up for the national anthem on opening day and one of my players said, 'Every time I hear that song I have a bad game.'" - Jim Leyland
I've done that, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the flash player, I've tried it on the latest
versions of IE and firefox…I get an error that says “flash shared objects must be turned on to function correctly,” yet every setting they have told me to change to fix this does not work. I have spent at least 3 hrs on the phone with those numbskulls. If they were going to try something new, they should have put it in during spring training so they would at least have all the kinks worked out by openning day. As an aside, it works fine on my computer at home, but that does me no good here at work.
Words cannot adequately describe my disdain for MLB gameday audio.
That won't stop Marquis...

Why?
Do you think it makes one stinkin bit of difference?? No one cares. He was disliked, period. Now let’s forget it and move on.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Just stating facts
He was disliked and he still is disliked. I don’t care anymore ‘cause he’s not here. But no one should be ashtonished by the booing.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Not all disliked him.
My point is posters have the right to say what they want about the booing. If you don’t want to read those skip over them.
Exactly
Forget it/him and move on. No need to boo a guy who came here and did what was asked of him.

the eye makeup
threw me off at first. I’m used to seeing her sunburnt and disheveled. The way I like all my women.

Im not sure why
but walks are bugging more far more this year than any previous year. It seems that every game I watch and this includes not just cubs games that the amount of walks is just redonkulous.

Why do you want to watch shit baseball?
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

Lou must want to save the PH for later...
he can’t be intent on sending Harden out for the 4th can he?

the bullpen is overworked.
not enough time off yesterday.

Yep, start resting guys for the Redbirds
Larussa had Ludwick on the bench last night throughout the whole extra inning affair last night. You know he’s trying to save some pop for the Cubs.

Does that mean
we take one of his K’s back?

Marquis is just as frustrating to watch pitch
as he was in a Cub uniform.
