"All you get" ??
You are lucky to get such fantastic baseball! I mean, you could be watching the Pittsburgh Pirates Network.
I may tune into a bit of the game tonight. HD baseball rocks! For out-of-town game watching, there's nothing better than the MLB Extra Innings package for your cable or satellite, OR MLB.TV for your computer. I've been able to watch all sorts of out-of-area games and follow my teams on a daily basis without worrying about what might be on nationally as my only option. Plus, it's great to watch the end of several games any time you want to watch. Getting the local announcers for your team or your opponents' team can be kind of fun, too.

*I* get the Pittsburgh Pirates Network...although currently it's the Pittsburgh Penguins Network.
At any rate, it's a shame *this* is the Phillies game I get to watch - that third inning looked like a comedy routine.
On the bright side, Utley's not getting hit by baseballs tonight.
You should be watching one of the other games that's on - I flipped to the Nats-Marlins game, then switched to Orioles-Rangers. They mentioned Edgar coming to bat for Seattle, they were talking about this guy Cal, there were signs talking about "We Love You, Cal!"... I wondered what the hell was up. I finally realized, it was an old Orioles-Mariners game since the actual game that was supposed to be on was delayed, postponed, whatever.
Okay, I'm officially ready to give up on the Braves. The pitching is just not there at all.
This is what's great about being a Jays fan... pretty much everything airs nationally on Sportsnet or TSN, since we only have one team in the country, and all.
Speaking of the Jays, though, ugh! Dropping two in a row to Oakland? The hell?
But you have to admit the move Cox pulled last week was clever. He takes the pitcher on the mound, who is struggling a bit, and moves him to the outfield. Then he brings in a southpaw, who proceeds to strike out one batter. Then Cox takes that pitcher back out and returns the previous guy to the mound. Apparently their bullpen has been getting more than enough work, and they're burning through pitchers at an astounding rate.
I thought it was a slick move, even if it was done because he's runnign short on bullpen help.
I think I had already turned off my TV in disgust at that point. 
I can't believe the game got rained out because of snow today. It's a million degrees in Georgia.
I'm interested in seeing how JoJo Reyes does again this year. I think he's one of the better pitchers. The Braves have also called Campillo up from AAA so Chuck James can get some more starts in AAA.
Just found out the closer Soriano is on the DL and Peter Moylan will assume the role. Crazy week.

Hudson has picked the Blue jerseys for tonight. They're my second favorite outside of the alternate red ones. I'm excited about tonight. Time to get some revenge on the Expo... er Nationals.

Those blue unis were widely panned on Uni Watch and Sportslogos.net.
They look like glorified BP jerseys and the blue on blue is kinda drab and difficult to read in my opinion. Which is unfortunate because I love the timeless classic look of their whites and grays.
Then again I'm a Mets fan and have to deal with those black monstrosities they wear far too often.

Went to the Twins/Royals game last night and froze my ass off. We were so cold that we decided to leave in the 7th inning- then ended up spending the next hour searching the parking lot for our vehicle (totally forgot where we parked). It was fun, but I'm really looking forward to Sunday's game (should be a bit warmer).

You're not going to tonights game?
And why would you want to leave? I'd insist on staying until the Royals broke the shut-out.
Wuss...

They're not the best things in the world, and I highly prefer the red ones... but the white/gray is incredibly boring.
Those are kind of nasty.
On the other hand, the black uniforms for the Diamondbacks are easily my favorites.
Please, please, please, please, PLEASE, God, don't let the Diamondbacks ever find kicking the Rockies asses to be boring.
Love you too, RAMA. Let me know when you finish watching the recording.
Of course, with the 2 hour rain delay, you may need to just read about the ending...
