Ok, as I’m about to listen to MLB Gameday Audio for the playoffs while I’m here at work, I’m still sad MLB won’t allow us to watch the games online. I believe there is a backdoor way, but I’m not going to put it here.
I will say the TBS Hot Corner is streaming a live 90 minute online pregame show starting at 1 p.m. ET with the lovely Heather Catlin and some tool who’s absolutely forgettable. Then at 2:30 p.m., it streams TBS’ pregame show with Ernie Johnson, Jr., Cal Ripken, Jr., and Frank Thomas which is nice. The online pregame show is awful right now and I hope it improves.
A few links for you before I listen to Rockies-Phillies, Game 1.
