Open Thread, 3/4: Padres vs Giants
I fully expect us to beat the Giants 28-3 or so. I'll be a little disappointed if we can't pull double digits. Drama was too lazy to write a diary today found some interesting online tidbits, so he sent me the first Barry Bonds speculation article that doesn't mention San Diego, which is a relief, since it shows that people are listening. He also sent this post about MLBAM and what greedy rat bastards they are.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna fire up MLB.tv, which I pay $14.95 a month for, to watch the Padres game buffer every 3 minutes.
GO PADRES!

Stinks being an out of market Pads fan!
10mbps?
I don't know much of anything..
I just know that time warner, my only internet option, has a 7 mbps and a 10 mbps option. I currently have the 7. I don't even know what mbps means.
Re: price.. it's much cheaper than the Extra Innings package, and I'm used to paying for that already.
Otherwise I'd just be watching Ranger games!
Megabits vs kilobits
1 Megabit (per second, Mbps) is roughly 1,000 kilobits (per second, kbps).
7 Mbps is more than enough to handle a 700k feed. The lag you would experience would be on the server end of that connection. And then maybe if your computer doesnt have a lot of memory (RAM), it will tend to lag out after a long time.
Thanks
I had verizon dsl when I experienced really bad mlb.tv quality, and I also had my old computer. My husband bought me a fancy-schmancy gamers computer for my birthday so I bet I have lots of RAM now. I suspect he plans to play video games on the sly...
I still might end up just keeping the Extra Innings package though. I don't know if I can handle a whole season watching baseball from a computer chair.
actually, it's pretty good
If I were to pay for a service like that
I can see charging for video
Just signed up
Gameday is so frustrating
I have terrible anxiety

Where do you live to where the Pads aren't on tv for you?

I have satellite, which is the problem.
The last time I tried mlb.tv...
Spring training's an anomaly
And, for what it's worth, the streaming's been great for me the last two years, getting sluggish when trying to run the mosaic version, but just fine when doing a single game.

RBI Sac fly: 3 - 0 Pads
My only thought was, "Well, at least he's getting ready for the regular season in a park that accurately represents PETCO."

Know your rights
You buy your ticket, and chronicle your experiences at the game, including as many pictures or videos (within reason) that you want, and you have yourself a derivative work created under Fair Use.
I say 'within reason' cuz you can't just record the whole game on video and run your own commentary. :)
Come on, Khalil.
Is it just me?

Oh, wait...it's Brian Sabean. Yes, I can.
I hear that
Well, thank you though we've had a few bumps along the way. Alex got into enough trouble recently that I had to suspend him from playing Little League for one week. Otherwise all is well now and we are counting down the days until we go back to Petco.
How are your munchkins?
Very good thanks.
