How-To page showing how to connect your radio and computer to delay the radio play-by-play so that you can mute the idiots on TV and listen to the radio.

It looks complex at first, but once you set it up you can enjoy it for the rest of the post-season. And next year. And the year after that.

UPDATE: New page up for Mac users, by a Mac user.

Go Senators!

Improved instructions for setting up RadioDelay to synchronize your AM or XM radio or MLB Gameday Audio with baseball on the television. Now you can enjoy baseball again with Tim McCarver and Joe Buck muted while you enjoy more intelligent and cogent commentary from Jon Miller, David B. Flemming, and Kruk and Kuip. Life is good.

I clearly have way too much time on my hands, but since the Giants are in the playoffs I feel that it's worth it. I added screen shots of the various settings for those who are not sound engineers.

UPDATE: Mac users can try Garageband to add delay. See:

Mac screen shots have been added Tuesday afternoon.

Thanks to Chris Gonzalez for the Mac notes on Garageband.

Respect the Dangle!

My page describing how to synchronize radio play-by-play when it runs ahead of the TV image. It requires installing a couple of Windows utilities and configuring a bunch of settings. But once you do it you should be good to go for the playoffs. Jon Miller will be calling the games on the radio no matter what, so this is a Good Thing.

Go Giants!

Tom Boswell points out that, after the Marlins shelled Strasburg last night, "Now, in a believe-it-or-not, the lowest ERA for Nats starters belongs to Livan Hernandez (3.03), not Strasburg (3.07)"

Vote early, vote often for L-Millz. Show the Nats what they're made of (AAA players).

Vote early, vote often for the Nationals' AAA CF L-Millz.

Vote L-Millz into the All Star Game to show the Nats what a AAA team they really are. This is too good an opportunity to pass up. Doubtful that any Marlins outfielders will make it anyway, so you won't be hurting their chances. Enjoy!

Vote early, vote often for L-Millz and only L-Millz in the outfield

Brad Wilkerson hangs 'em up. An original who came from les Expos to the Nats.
