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.<\/p>\n
I will say the TBS Hot Corner<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n A few links for you before I listen to Rockies-Phillies, Game 1.<\/p>\n Neil Best of Newsday says the Mets collapse was good for ratings in NY<\/a>.<\/p>\n CNBC’s Darren Rovell says merchandise for South Florida is red hot<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stephanie Kang of the Wall Street Journal talks with David Levy, president of Turner Sports<\/a>, about TBS coming into the MLB postseason party.<\/p>\n Todd Zolecki and Phil Sheridan of the Philadelphia Inquirer write that Phillies fans are upset with the 3 p.m. starts<\/a> today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n Bob Nightengale of USA Today says TV viewers are set for a great October<\/a>.<\/p>\n Paul Gough of the Hollywood Reporter writes that the NHL has renewed its Center Ice PPV package<\/a> with DirecTV, Dish Network and the cable TV operators, and an NHL channel is about to launch this week.<\/p>\n
