+1000

If MLB just figured out that I would gladly pay $100 a year to watch all of the games online, no matter where they are, they would have $100 a year more in revenue. I don’t really have the time to drive up to wrigley for a game with 4 kids 7 and under. Too expensive and I can’t really pick one to take…

is it keeps Dome in the lineup. I can’t wait for Dome to hit the bench for good. It isn’t just the stats – Reed Johnson is pure energy, Dome is sleepwalking out there. It will change whole dynamic of lineup.

If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.

FYI .. Detroit just pulled all of its players off the field in Toronto

Seems the Eh Team up there in Jaysworld likes throwing stuff on the field.

Play is still suspended ..

how/when is the decision

to launch “overflow” threads made and based on what criteria? is there anyway to predict precisely when an “overflow” thread will be born? wouldn’t it be easier and more predictable to number the posts in the thread and say post # 501 (eg) will automatically spawn an “overflow” thread?? or no??

Al is the one

who picks the times that new game threads will be posted. When he is at the games he has them automatically post at certain times. Since he has been doing this I don’t really see a problem.
