What a rollercoaster this thread was for a team that was most likely never even in contact with Boras about Rendon.

This tells me that Guaranteed Rate is the only one who wanted to get naming rights. Surely the powers that be would have chosen another sponsor if any existed?

It's dumbfounding that he is the ONLY guy in sports that I ever recall making a statement like that. How is he the only one that gets it? He's a real stand up guy and the Angels are lucky to have him. Angels are my 2nd team so it's nice to hear something positive like this for a change.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 10:59 AM) What browser do you watch in? I try switching between IE and Firefox sometimes if my stream is wonky. Also you can try adjusting the video quality to a lower stream (it starts on HD default I think which is the highest). No browser. I use the ps3 and apple tv apps. It does work much better on my phone and iPad but tv would be ideal.

I bought MLB.tv long before the season even began. I get 30mb/s down but mine still freezes every minute or so. It was so bad that it took me 3.5 hrs to watch. 2.5 hr game. I tried from my ps3 and my apple tv. Ps3 was better but still borderline unwatchable. I can stream Netflix with zero issues. MLB.tv tells me it must be my connection. Any suggestions? Edit: this is wired not wireless

Thanks for the info Tony. I'll check out going to the hawks game too and check out that link you sent me. The drive doesn't sound so bad. My wife likes baseball but isn't an enthusiast yet. She only started learning when we met about 4-5 years ago. She is starting to like it (and the Sox) more and more and enjoys going to games. Her favorite plays is Carlos Q because he grew up where she did.

My wife and I are thinking about driving the 5 hours to watch some spring training. We are thinking about going for a weekend, leaving Friday night and coming back Sunday night. I figure we could catch games Saturday and Sunday. I was just wondering what else is there to do besides the actual games (baseball related or not) and if anyone can offer any tips for going? We are not even sure where to buy tickets or how much they cost. I've never been to any spring training so anything you can offer is appreciated!

I shouldn't feel this nervous leading 4-1

Nice swing by Tank

Is this guy really throwing 101mph like gameday says??
