Slick = Healthy as a horse. Day game. Updated: A Win!

Edit: Post game comments at the end of this post.

Two quick points to hit on. First, Nick Johnson will be out 4-6 weeks with a "tear of the tendon sheath in his right wrist." Jesus. This guy is more fragile than Barbaro and Eight Belles combined. Luckily, Meat will be coming up to the big league club and will man first base. He won't be playing first base, he'll just be standing around it, doing his best to not fall down.
Second, I have to use MLB Gameday (more like Lameday) today for the day game. I brought in another radio, but still couldn't get a signal. I am convinced my work has my office surrounded by lead plates to block out all radio signals. Seems like something they would do, given they already blocked youtube. Bastards.
I can't help but feel bad for Bergie here. He got called back up, but at the expense of Chico. I'm sure he's getting millions of hate emails right about now, and not just from me. Anyway, Go Nats, Mets you suck.

BREAKING NEWS: Mets catcher Ramon Castro, member of the Beagle Boys Gang?

















UPDATE!!

Well, the Nats did it. They won 3 out of 4 in this series. The game was actually decent on MLB's Gameday (I will forever drop my nickname of Lameday), especially since they now have video features added quickly, and pitch counts. That being said, for the Nats 1-0 win today, I'd like to thank some folks.

I would like to thank:

• The Academy for the nomination.
• Jason Bergmann for his awesome performance throwing the ball today.
• Jesus Flores for his all around coolness, and his double to kick start the 8th.
• Your mother for a butt like that.
• Flop for his RBI fly to deep left.
• GOOZ! for his heads up scamper to third to receive Boonie's throw to get Reyes trying to advance to 3rd on a sacrifice bunt.
  
• Willie Harris for his gravity defying catch in the 9th. If that drops, Beltran might score.
  
• My fiance, whose stood by me through thick and thin. I love you sweetie!
• Carlos Beltran or Willie Randolph, for Beltran breaking to the plate on contact for the double play to end the 9th.
• And finally, to mi hermano, LUUUUUUUIS. I love you buddy. Awesomely awesome scoreless inning there, Luis. I think you're back, baby.
  

Fucking Day Games

I didn't see the game, in the interest of full disclosure. Hell, I didn't even listen to it ('cept for the top of the 9th when I ran to my car to listen to Charlie call it (Die, Willy Harris, die!)). I was stuck using MLB's Gameday product. Which is....ok...I guess. When it's working. Most of the time it was lagging, and would freeze my whole browser up, though. I would have to wait until it caught up to itself, then showed 18 fucking pitches in two seconds. I'd have to scroll up to see the last three or so batters.
I tried to watch it on a P2P program, one called TvAnts. Recommended by a friend. What a fucker he was. His stream was working fine, but mine said, "Please wait while buffering..." It said this for 2 hours. I shit you not. When Gameday was locking up, I looked at that "Please wait while buffering...", teasing me, in the corner of my screen.
Actual snippet of a chat I was having at the time with a friend:

3:35 PM me: I'm trying to watch a P2Pstream on TvAnts

"please wait while buffering...."

FUCK YOU, YOU BUFFERING PIG FUCKER!

3:37 PM COCK SHIT DAMN!

I want to see this rally.

The next weekday day game is 5/15 @ the Mets. I gotta get me a solution by then, or my computer may look like this.

And the Dictatorship here hates buying anything new, for anyone.

FASCISTS!!!!

I thought I lived in America. I thought my baseball team represented America. You know, the land of the free, home of the brave, and all that. Well, folks, I was wrong.
My work blocked me from youtube long ago, but anyone could use a web proxy to anonymously surf there.
I tried to use old reliable, VTunnel.com today. Guess what? DENIED!

I just wanna watch, I dunno, some Daft Bodies once in a while. Maybe some George Washington eating opponents brains and inventing cocaine. Certainly that time the ball bounced of Jose Canseco's head and went for a homer. Is that too much to ask? For those interested in working here, you can send your resume to:
