OT: are we doing another fantasy baseball league this year?

It is kinda difficult, at times. We do have some coverage on Channel 5, which tends to televise US sports through the night, but I'm usually online these days. Sky Sports show US sports too, if you're willing to subscribe to digital satellite tv (which I'm not, cos I hardly watch tv!)

Channel 5 seems to do well with all things American, and its a channel you don't have to pay for. They tend to show stuff passed on from Sky/Fox, things like CSI, Law & Order and all the spin-offs.

I've been into football since 1986/87 season though, and I'm a NY Jets fan.

Ya know, if you go to www.mlb.com you can buy the games to listen to on your computer. I think it costs like $20 USD. I am sure you are heading off to bed when most games are going on, but on weekends you could probably catch them. You pick and choose what teams you want. Check it out if you are seriously thinking of following this year. I plan to get the Sox games atleast.

Paying sucks. They did that last season on NFL.com as well, with the RealPlayer Field Pass. I can't believe they're charging to listen to a radio broadcast. Fuck that.

If I don't catch a whole game, I'll at least try to watch TWIB. Me heading off to bed? LMAO!! Nah, I'm usually up still. I'll look out for the games on Channel 5.

Shit, I'll give you my password if I do do it! Christ, ya cheap bastard! LOL!!! Start calling you Raggz...

[Stacey0471]

Its a matter of principle. I don't use RealPlayer/RealOne either. I don't like it.

[Stacey0471]

I would probably watch more if there wasn't so many commercial breaks, but Channel 5 is pretty good for US sports, if you stay up all night or tape them.

Thanks for the info, Lycan. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Okay, ERA is the amount of earned runs the pitcher gives up per nine innings (the distinguishment of earned vs. unearned runs is a whole other story)

Here's the formula to figure it out.

earned runs divided by innings pitched (each out=.3 innings) multiplied by nine. That formula gets you the amount of earned runs he gives up per nine innings.

btw, you can follow pitch by pitch. That's how I do it. Both www.cbs.sportsline.com and www.espn.com have this function. I prefer the sportsline one better, personally. It's not real time, but it does allow you to follow a game and keeps up with it.

Pitch by pitch is free, also. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
