A question for folks who watch games on the MLB.tv media player. Last year you could watch the video broadcast while listening to the radio audio. Am I missing something, or have they removed that option this year? It seems you can only watch the video or listen to the radio now. :(
Damn.  I wish I'd seen this before I dropped the coin on the season pass.  I loved mixing the Indians radio with the video.  Such a great combo.  I tried finding it myself and failed to do so.  Hopefully they bring it back.

Since it is about to come to an end I thought I would gaze on this lovingly once last time:

East                  W   L   PCT   GB   E#   WCGB   STRK
Baltimore                  21   18   0.538   -   -   -   W1
NY Yankees   21   19   0.525   0.5   123   -   W2
Toronto                  21   21   0.5   1.5   121   1   W1
Boston                  20   20   0.5   1.5   122   1   L1
Tampa Bay   18   24   0.429   4.5   118   4   L1

As you can see their magic number is only 123.

Huh for some reason when I post it the columns get all messed up.  Ah well you get the idea.

I can't help but wonder how Billy Martin would have handled this...

QuoteBaseball player with multi-million-dollar contract bitten in the ear

(CNN) -- A professional baseball player landed in a hospital after a game this week with a bite wound to the ear, police said.

Alex Guerrero, second-baseman for the Albuquerque Isotopes, could be seen quarreling on the field with his teammate, catcher Miguel Olivo, during a game against the Salt Lake Bees on Tuesday.

Video posted to MiLB.com showed teammates stepping between the two, as they taunted each other.
The site, which bears the title "the official site of minor league baseball," reported that not much later, in the eighth inning, the two fought in the team's dugout.

The Triple-A game was temporarily suspended and both players were replaced by substitutes.
The injured player was transported to a hospital in Murray, Utah, said Salt Lake Police detective Greg Wilking. Authorities there told Wilking that "an ear had been bitten off."

Guerrero declined to file a report with law officers.

"He wanted to talk to a lawyer and the league before he decides what he wants to do," Wilking said.
The Isotopes, who lost to the Bees 7-4, got behind early in the game, allowing Salt Lake 4 runs in the first inning. Both teams have losing records.

Olivo became angry and confronted Guerrero on the field in the seventh inning, after the second-basemen did not tag a player out when Olivo threw the ball to him, MiLB.com reported.

The Isotopes are a farm team of the Los Angeles Dodgers, which issued a statement on the incident.
"The baseball operations department is aware of the altercation and is conducting an investigation into the matter.  The organization does not condone this type of behavior," it said.

Both men also play in games for the Dodgers in the majors. Guerrero, who defected from Cuba in 2013 signed a four-year $28 million contract with the club.

Mike Tyson, though, was A-Okay with it.  :thumbsup:

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Cardinals beat the Yankees.  Not too many times in my lifetime I've been able to say that.  Also, very happy to say I was wrong about Lance Lynn in his spot in the Cards pitching rotation.

Valmy, you catch the Horns - Owls game?  2-0 in the regionals now.  Rice was butthurt and didn't want to shake hands.

I somehow ended up watching pretty much the entire A's-Yankees game tonight just because there wasn't anything else on.  Moss cranked one into the upper deck for the 10th inning go-ahead run and now the score is 5-2 with the bases loaded.  Looks like the only ones left in the stadium are A's fans.

And the Cardinals are pissing me off.  For the longest time pitching was good enough to win but batting was anemic.  In the past week or so they've gotten more runs but pitching has fallen apart.  They just lost their third straight series and are just one game over .500 :mellow:

lol. They'll crash and burn soon. It's a Toronto tradition. All teams. Though I did go to a game last week and it was fun. Company thing. I've seen three games live, and always a part of a work thing.

The Tribe is inching their way back to .500 and second place in the Central!  I love following a team that is still in contention in June.

I will be mightly pissed if this is not a competitive year. Opportunities like this year dont come around too often...
And I haven't caught a home run ball yet from my perch above the Jays bullpen yet.

I watched every inning of every game in the regional and have tickets to all the Super Regional games this weekend.

The Aggies and Owls were so butthurt and now the Cougar High crowd has already started whining about not hosting the Supers.  God the other Texas schools are such a bunch of whiny bitches.  Cannot wait to play somebody from out of state again.  On the positive side 4 Big 12 Schools in the Supers.  Makes me feel a bit better about Texas finishing 5th in the conference.
