If you put the game on SAP, you get to hear the field mic, but not the annoying Fox announcers.

Yeah... mute, whiskey and music works well enough for me.
-
Wait a second... Joe Girardi is the color announcer? How do you go from Manager of the Year to Fox color analyst with no stops in between?
-
He must be impossible to deal with (from an owner's perspective).
I couldn't believe he didn't get a job managing.
-
Basehit Bono. He'll never take those things off.
-
jason lane's swings were pathetic
-
ONE OUT MO. WAY TO GO YOU FUCKWIT.
-
ONE OUT MO. WAY TO GO YOU FUCKWIT.
What the hell happened there? It wasn't a hit and run, there was no way that was dropping.
I think the yellow goggles only improve his eyesight at the plate.
-
im assuming he thought there were 2 outs
-
im assuming he thought there were 2 outs
The sad fact is that I figured there was a good shot to score with Everett coming up.
-
Good job Woody. No more homers plz k thx.
-
Ensberg runs the bases like a 12 year old on amphetamines. If there was ever a case of hustling too much, his is it, because he is just damn slow, yet sees himself as being faster. He can't be much over 50% in his steal attampts these last couple of years, and often times he is gunned easily. Pretty much the same goes for stretching doubles and 1st to 3rds. He is heads up on the balls in the dirt.
-
I guess Utley is now the best all-around 2nd baseman.
-
Got to love Fox. They show a graphic that says Q is 1-6 on the season. The very same graphic also shows him batting .333.
-

Yes.

seems to me he has a major problem with looking back to see whats going on instead of keeping his head down and chuggin..

Double by the Hit Ma'cheen!

What does Ausmus have to do with the price of stamps and a Chevy Impala?
-
nice slide by q...
-
What does Ausmus have to do with the price of stamps and a Chevy Impala?
Beeeuitiful slide!
-
lol.
-
What does Ausmus have to do with the price of stamps and a Chevy Impala?
I want to know why the FCC allows Fox to broadcast in America. Aren't there laws against the shit they put on air?
-
nice slide by q...
I seriously thought he broke his leg.
-
I'm laughing so hard at Q I can hardly type. We need a new name for that slide.
-

It's Ausmus's birthday. They're showing prices, etc as they were when Brad was born.
-
god damnit...he looked safe to me
-
Biggio was robbed. Totally safe.
-
FUCK.
He was SAFE, Charlie.
What's with the plate umps this series?
-
OUT?!? No fucking way.
-
Bah....thanks Blue.
-
I sure hope they replay that play at the plate. I thought Biggio was safe.
-
FUCK THESE FUCKING UMPS
-
Douce bag umpire, make the right fucking call!
-
Cocksuckers!
-
the bad thing is its not like this was extremely close or anything
he was safe BY A MILE
-
I'm watching the game over the internet (fucking Fox thinks a NL city would be more interested in the Angels - Red Sox, fucking idiots) and even I could plainly see that Biggio was safe.
I've had about enough of these announcers and it's still early in the game.
-
Berkman's reaction on the replay was perfect.
-
Hey dickface, we are on a winning streak. Hah. Garner let's him know.
-
Every announcer (tv and radio) agrees....SAFE!!!
-
ahaha Phil bitchslaps Girardi. beeaaautiful.
-
did you guys see the opening montage of the game..where it showed all the bonehead and unfortunate plays by the astros and phillies thus far this season?
-
no, i try to watch as little Fox baseball pre/post game coverage as possible.
-
girardi doesn't know how to pronounce "Burrell"
-
I need a beer. I'm still peeved over that bullshit call.
-
Marty's son sucks. But I guess he's better than Losh Lewin.
-
I need a beer. I'm still peeved over that bullshit call.
I've long passed beer and gone to whiskey. And mute. It's actually saving years on the end of my life.
-
What did Mansolino do to get ejected? Just arguing the call?
-
Bill Brown pretty much kicks ass on these shitty FOX annoucement guys. All of 'em. I have to remember not to take Brownie for granted.
-
What did Mansolino do to get ejected? Just arguing the call?
What???
-
Sure must be nice to have a real CF.
-
What???
Radio guys (I have muted the TV) said Mansolino was ejected and Sean Berry is now coaching at 3rd for the good guys.

Same problem. I hooked up the laptop to the tv and it's actually not too bad.
-
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!
jason lane makes up for his shitty swings earlier
-
Jason Lane baby!!!!!!
-
I will absolutely be damned. Has Lane ACTUALLY figured out this ML thing?
Good for him. Good for us.
-
wowzers
-
Not a pretty AB, but I'll take it.
-
Man, even the shitty hitters are getting some lucky swings.
-
damn you Rowand
-
The Jalaniac!
Normally he only hits 4th inning game tying solo homeruns. He's stepping out!
-
Same problem. I hooked up the laptop to the tv and it's actually not too bad.
There is no way I could figure out how to do this. I actually have a pretty big screen for my desktop, so I guess this set up is about as good as I'm going to get.

Hell, I can't even figure out how to work my wireless. I set it up, it worked, I encrypted it, I still get the signal but now "no connectivity." So basically I am beating a path from my living room with the TV to my office with the computer. Good thing I'm a pacer by nature.

Did you get the 700k feed?

Nice pick Q.
-
Q is pretty spry. I'm starting to believe in him as a ML backup catcher. Good stuff from him today.
-
what the hell happened on that throw/catch
-
Biggio can't be bothered to actually put his body in front of a throw.
-
Quality from the team's "best" outfielder. Outfield defense is going to be painful all season.
-

That was on Bidge. He failed to glove a short-hopped relay.

I am so freakin' spoiled now. After years of dial-up, they finally upgraded my phone lines and I was able to get dsl. Wireless network and new laptops soon followed, and now here I sit in my recliner in front of the TV. Sweet.
Too bad it's the fuckin' Red Sox/Angels. Regional coverage my ass, sorry bastards.
-

The throw was fine. Bidge didn't catch it.

Bidge did an awful job but I wouldn't call it a fine throw.

I actually get the internet through a wire to my computer FROM MY WIRELESS ROUTER. I need to kidnap one of those Best Buy geeks for hire.
-
well..that was painful
-
Nice, Woody.
-

I meant fine as in decent or good enough. Not as in a fine diamond.
-
Bidge did an awful job but I wouldn't call it a fine throw.
the throw was fine. Biggio stayed in one spot and waved at it.
-
Ugh. Well, let's keep the bats going, now.
-
Did you get the 700k feed?
Fuck no. I have long been a Game Day Audio subscriber and an Extra Innings subscriber. I can't get Extra Innings through my cable provider, so I've been trying to upgrade my GDA to some flavor of MLB TV. So far none of those dumb cocksuckers has replied to an email about upgrading. Of course they claim they will respond within 48 hours.
So I'm using a slingbox sort of arrangement at the moment. Do you have the 700k? Does anyone have any feedback on its quality?
This team's defense is bad and getting worse. Wow.
-

Prolly an easy fix if you have a wireless signal. I had to do some studying to encript my wireless network.
-
Nice, Woody.
Oy. I didn't see that coming.
-
the throw was fine. Biggio stayed in one spot and waved at it.
Exactly. I don't understand why, in that situation, you don't give up on the sweet play and take a couple of steps toward the throw to make sure you can catch it cleanly. Once that ball went to the corner, the runner was going to score. The entire objective at that point is to keep the batter at second.

A GIRL asking a GUY to get married?
Sweet Jumpin' Jehovah! What is this world coming to? What next? Women and "colored folks" voting and owning property??
-

I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I'm a technological idiot (among several other categories of idiocy). I did everything by the book, but it won't work. I've gone over it a dozen times. I'm sure it could get fixed if I bribed some 19 year old with a six-pack of Pearl who would look at me like I'm an idiot, but I accepted defeat.

Still using the 400k feed. Curious to know if the 700k feed's worth the cost.
-

It was just like hooking up a monitor to the computer. Literally used a monitor cable to connect it to the tv and then downloaded a driver (which windows automatically found for me). It helps that I have a new plasma with an input slot specifically for the computer.
I'm just thrilled that you can get the games on mlb.tv on saturdays during the blackout period. Last year all i could get was the audio feed so i spent my saturdays during the game sending nasty grams to directv and fox. Houston is almost never the game of the week here in LA.

Make sure that your router is broadcasting the same SSID that your computer is listening for. The default SSID settings are different for different manufacturers, and if you don't get them in sync, you'll be completely out of luck.
-

Biggio's is the same--bad.
-
Biggio's is the same--bad.
Besides Everett--who on this team would be classified as above average defensively?
-
excuse me, technocrats, is there a baseball game going on?
-
Besides Everett--who on this team would be classified as above average defensively?
I think Ensberg and Berkman are above average at their respective positions. Obviously Ausmus as well.
-

Man, if I knew what an SSID was, I'd be all over that.
-

shouldnt have said that..
-
worse and getting worser
-
What the fuck was that? So much for Ensberg above average.
-
I complement Ensber's defense, and he shortarms one ten yards up the right field line. That was horrible.
-
Thank God for Everett.
-
shouldnt have said that..
In the words of Frank Drebin, "I realize that.... now."
-

He really needs to remove his head from his hindparts.
-

What brand of router do you have? I'm assuming that you can get to the router's configuration information via your browser since you're using a hardwire connection. For example, I've got a Linksys router. If I browse to 192.168.1.1, I get to the router, and I can play with its configuration information from there.
-

It's stuck up too high. Geez. Crappy baserunning and defense. He better dial his bat to 11.

Mine is a Linksys also. I'm going to fool around with it after the game.
The irony is annoyingly ironic in that I installed it, it worked fine, and then I encrypted it, and despite knowing the password and ID all that, I couldn't connect to it.
-
ensberg can make up for it right here..

OK, I just did that, and I got a web page with a lot of my information on it. One of the options is SSID enable/disable. Is that something important?
-

The shades work, I guess.
It's time for Lane to do it again.
-
10 errors for the Astros in 10 games. Much worse that I expected to start the season.
-

That worked. Groundout to Chase, no DP. Tie ballgame.
-
really wanted another run there but oh well..at least we tied it..i guess its time for the bullpen to come in and try not to blow the game open..
-

You mean "SSID broadcast enabled/disabled"? Generally, you want that disabled.
-

eh..keepin woody in..wasnt expecting that..
-

Not any more. Miller coming in.
-
Jimmy Rollins loves to be mic'd.
I wonder if he goes home and watches his Tivo'd games to see if he said anything clever.
-

Everytime I click disable, it returns it to the original menu. I think I'll just accept it until I move, which is in a few months.
-
You mean "SSID broadcast enabled/disabled"? Generally, you want that disabled.
Right. If that's enabled, that makes it easier for other people in the neighborhood to find your network.
Go to the "Wireless" tab, and then the "Basic Wireless Setup" tab (at least, that's what they're called on my system), and you should find a "Wireless Network Name (SSID)" entry, or something like that. If you're not broadcasting that SSID, you'll have to enter it manually in your computer's network setup.

What a catch!!! CARLOS LEE?!?
-
whew.
-
Great catch Carlos!
-
nice catch by carlos
-
There's nothing that guy can't do!
-
Man, I hope Lee's ok. What a catch!
-
GOD.
DAMNIT.
-
Here comes Lidge.
-
Ok, here's an opportunity for Lidge to shut everybody up.
-
There's nothing that guy can't do!
He can't play centerfield. And here comes Lidge. Oh boy.
-
is anyone else still worried that lidge is going to..not be so successful..i still have very little confidence in this guy..despite his play last night..
-
is anyone else still worried that lidge is going to..not be so successful..i still have very little confidence in this guy..despite his play last night..
No. Not yet.
-
I actually think he can do it.
-
Do we have any lefty relievers in the minors that are even close to ready for the bigs?
-
No. Not yet.
how about now?
-
Ok, here's an opportunity for Lidge to shut everybody up.
Oh well, huh?
-
I actually think he can do it.
Still?
-
Ok, here's an opportunity for Lidge to shut everybody up.
Or make them yap louder.
-
Aaaarrrggghhhhh.
Oh well: still three innings of Phillie relievers to go.
-
Hey, only one run. That's "good."
-
God, I was afraid that was going to be a marmot-burner that brought in a run.
-
I thought Lidge pitched very well. The hit was a good piece of hitting.
-
everyones optimism about lidge is just adorable..
and even if the hit was a good piece of hitting, what about the walk he gave up to load the bases..
-
OK, Berkman, time to get hot.
-

With Lidge hits I can handle. Walks are indeed more troubling.
-
Damn, Berkman is missing balls that are in the heart of the plate.
-
Damn, Berkman is missing balls that are in the heart of the plate.
If he keeps this up, opposing teams will challenge him more often, with Lee up next.
-
I'd like to see Lane get some action in center.
-
How many leadoff men have the Phillies gotten on today?
-
"Not a single baserunner against him"..."until now"
thanks THOM
-
I'd like to see Lane get some action in center.
There you go.
-
Charlie Relaford,
THAT is what you call Karma for your shit call.
-
I'd like to see Lane get some action in center.
Hey--this is family tv. Gotta wait til late night for the action in center.
-
Can anyone describe the fuckin' game here?
-
I wonder who's job it is to stuff Alfonseca in his uniform each day.
-
So the ball hits the bat after it hits the ump and the runner still gets to go to 2nd? Why is some time of interference not called?
-
eh..cant blame morgan for that one..he made a great play, but just not enough.
-
Slow tapper to Ensberg. Throw does not get runner at 1st. Runner scores from 3rd. 8-5 Phillies
-
Victorino just beat out a little nubber down the third base line driving in Ruiz who had singled to center. Utley up, one on, two out.
-
Can anyone describe the fuckin' game here?
Have you never witnessed shitting one's bed?
-
Utley doubles. Men on 2nd and 3rd with Howard up.
-
Utley is the newest Astro killer. He doubles down the LF line, two on, soon to be full, Howard receiving an IBB.
-
Howard IBB. Bases loaded, 2 out, bottom of 7th. Mihoba--are you watching or listening or neither? How much detail do you want?
-
Three runs in this ball park is no big deal. The Astros really need an out here.
-
Can anyone describe the fuckin' game here?
Ruiz went to second on a bizarre up-and-in fastball that somebody swung through. Quintero missed the ball, it hit Relaford in the shoulder, and the Relaford may or may not have been hit with the batter's follow-through. Meanwhile, the ball was rolling around on the ground, and Ruiz was trotting down to second.
-
Ponche! Going into the 8th needing 3.
-
Michael Bourne strikes out swinging.
-
Howard IBB. Bases loaded, 2 out, bottom of 7th. Mihoba--are you watching or listening or neither? How much detail do you want?
No audio or video. Thanks. I've got the play by play, but Damn! Wow! Ensberg sucks! was not helping, ha.
-
one of those lee homers from last night would be just dandy here
-
Carlos rips one into left. One on, no out.
-
Lee singles to left.
Ensberg grounds in to 5-4-3 DP.
Lane grounds to 3rd.
-
disappointing inning for the heart of our order..
-
5-4-3 DP. Wow, Ensberg sucks.
Lane grounds out to end the inning. Alfonseca was pitching, by the way.
-
No audio or video. Thanks. I've got the play by play, but Damn! Wow! Ensberg sucks! was not helping, ha.
Sorry; assumed that everybody had the Fox broadcast.
-
Rowand hits Borkowski in foot, ball caroms into foul territory by 1st base. Infield single.
-
Sorry; assumed that everybody had the Fox broadcast.
Unless you live in Houston you are watching the Red Sox. Because Fox understands that everyone in America is fucking fascinated with the Red Sox.
-
Nunez hit slow grounder to Everett, Rowand out at 2nd.
-
Wild pitch moves Nunez to 2nd. Ball goes all the way to backstop.
-
There goes the DP. Q stabs at and misses a pitch low and outside. Rowland to second.
-
Ball four nowhere near the zone. Helms pinch hitting. DP back in vogue.
-
Ruiz walks.
-
There goes the DP. Q stabs at and misses a pitch low and outside. Rowland to second.
Think it is Nunez at 2nd.
-
Pop to SS for out two. The dangerous Rollins is up with two on.
-
Rowand leads off with a ground ball single off Borkowski's foot. I think this is just one of "those" days.
Nunez hits a fielder's choice to short, Rowand out at second. Biggio's ballistic throw to first is "juuust a little late". 1 out.
Passed ball moves Nunez to second. Quintero didn't even try to move his feet.
Ruiz walks.
Somebody pops out to short. 2 outs, runners on 1st and 2nd.
Rollins pops up in short left, Everett grabs it. 3 outs.
-
Fly to short left field. Adam beats Carlos there, 3 outs.
Rally cap time.
-
Think it is Nunez at 2nd.
Yes, sorry. Another pop out to end the inning. The good guys need three to keep playing. Due up are AE, Q and OP.
-
Must better, thanks everyone.
Yep, I'm getting the Red Sox, and I live about 110 miles from MMP. Fox bastards.
-
740 KTRH Radio pbp guys (Milo II and Milo III) say that no ligament damage, no tendon damage, just needs rest, meds. Will miss a couple of starts probably. Will be on DL retroactive, no word on who will be called up.
-
Four straight balls to AE from Flash Gordon. Loretta pinch hitting for Q.
-
Must better, thanks everyone.
Yep, I'm getting the Red Sox, and I live about 110 miles from MMP. Fox bastards.
Red Sox here too. And I'm blacked out on MLB.TV. Thank god for XM, even if it's the Phillies' broadcast.
-
Loretta flies out to center on a 2-1 count, one out. OP up.
-
Flash Gordon in to pitch for Philly. He's 40 years old, as they've told us three times now.
Everett leads off with a four-pitch walk.
Loretta pinch-hitting for Quintero. Two more balls, and the pitching coach is out. Ok, there's the first strike, although it was pretty high. Loretta lines out to CF. 1 down.
Your problem is you live too close to Houston. Here in Austin we're getting the game.
-
bring back the snow
-
Red Sox here too. And I'm blacked out on MLB.TV. Thank god for XM, even if it's the Phillies' broadcast.
What a bunch of fucking bullshit. Do you suppose you could fool MLB TV by logging on through a website that gives IP anonymity?
-
OP walks. Two on, one out, Bidge up. Pitcher's spot is next.
-
Your problem is you live too close to Houston. Here in Austin we're getting the game.
Now that makes a lot of sense. Game on the road, FSSW and FSH area, give'm the Sox.
Fuck Fox, dumbasses.
-
Palmeiro pinch-hitting. Count goes full, foul ball, and there's the walk.
Tying run comes to the plate with 1 out. Let's go Bidge.
-
Maybe we ask them bring Billy in?
-

They verify where you live by doing a dummy credit card transaction. So it must depend on your credit card's billing address.
-
Boy, that sucks. Score five runs and lose thanks largely to fucked up defense. Do they currently expect to get the game in tomorrow?
-
Broadcasters were talking about predicted conditions for tomorrow's game. Doesn't sound good. Lots of wind, lots of rain.
