Around SBN: More Televised Winter Baseball, Please

MLB Network is the best ever

I'm trying to be cynical. I'm trying to remember that these are the same owners that brought us MLBAM and Bug Selig and all of the other ridiculousness that goes along with baseball, but despite myself I've really enjoyed the MLBN so far. I've already gotten to see some of my favorite players and personalities in Tony Gwynn, Rickey Henderson, Matt Vasgersian, Jerry Coleman, Harold Reynolds.

The highlights are getting me so pumped. I'm watching the home run episode of Inside the Moments. I love watching me some home runs. I'm looking forward to the Rickey Henderson special and seeing Matty V in the booth. This makes the cold bitter offseason much more palpable.

So far

I’ve only seen portions of Don Larsen’s perfect game. I’m not sure how people watched baseball before HD. The shots were so tight I was getting claustrophobic.

Before now, all we got was 40 mins of Baseball Tonight

Anybody know

whether the network will available online? I would really love to watch but since I’m stuck in good ol’ Belgium the internet is my only chance to catch some glimps of the network.

I’ll have to settle for NASN if I can convince my fellow housemembers(i.e. my parents) to invest in Digital TV that is…

You could move to America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Moving to America

 isn’t something that I’m planning in the near future. However I’m considering signing up for a program that allows me to follow some summer courses in UCSD this year or the next. Is that a good university? Because the rather high pricetag of this program is forcing me to seriously think through whether I should do it or not…

UCSD

is considered a very good university, especially their medical/biological sciences programs.

I'm going to UCSD right now

What are you looking to study?

Definitely big the sciences, a nice campus, close to the beach.

Its well renowned.

I'm studying

history atm in Belgium. So I would prefer to follow some non exact science courses in the likes of (American) History or English/American literature.

I went to UCSD

Hooray UCSD! I took Computer Engineering. Very good research school. Not a bad fine arts school either. La Jolla Playhouse is right there and from what I understand, their theater program is exceptional. Also can’t beat being 2 minutes from the beach for some afternoon study breaks.

Love it

Thanks for the tip..totally forgot about it till I checked Gaslamp.

Good to see Harold Reynolds back too.

This network is going to be a serious time waster for me.

Don't hate the game, hate the nerds!
