Eye Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Have I mentioned how awesome MLB.TV is?Is it free?Nothing ever is....Speaking of free, is anyone else surprised that ESPN.com is still free? I figured they would want big money for just viewing their home page....Shame on people for wanting to get compensated for their work. I just think you shouldn't have to pay for all the "Insider" crap and lame blogs. What's the point?I don't get it, you think they're lame and crap but you still want to be able to read them?Don't you dare question him; he will be the "mature" one and take it to a PM.

Hell - I wish beer was free at the bar, but I understand why they charge. You should be thankful for anything that you do get for free. Honestly, there's no reason that they shouldn't charge for content. For some reason, since web content (along with other forms of IP like logos) aren't physically tangible, everyone thinks they should be free (and most don't have a problem stealing them.)

NJTank Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think Wagner has it out of Johan he always seems to suck when he pitches. Sigh thanks for getting the bullpen help we needed Omar.

There is obviously something that they're offering that is getting people to pay. Typically, businesses will only charge what people are willing to pay - that's kind of what sets the market.

Brass Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHow 'bout those Rays, eh? They just keep on winning!Yeah, they seem to. I've been waiting for the day they finally collapse, but maybe they really are the real deal. Let's see how far they can make it in the playoffs IF they get there.

w00tness Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 A little brawl a few minutes ago between the Sox and the Royals. Kind of a lame brawl, but it's the most exciting thing I've seen from the Sox this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 The Angels allow 10 unearned runs on four errors and completely choke away the game against the Yankees, 14-9. They even got a Grand Slam from Teix, and manage to blow that.What happened to the team that ate the Red Sox alive, and why don't they play like this against Boston? In other news, since the Angels blew a big lead, their season is promptly deemed over by default. Cooked. Done. OVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperdeck Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yeah, the Angels-Yanks game was crazy. They could've put the Yankees away so many times, but they didn't. I thought it was over after Nady's 3-run homer, then Texiera hit the grand slam...it was a fun game to watch if only because the Yanks came out on top. Still, it's good to split the series with a team considered the "best in baseball" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
