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

He must be impossible to deal with (from an owner's perspective).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
