Michael Main is DH'ing

mdickson — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 20:27:37 -0000

The Rangers' second first round pick Michael Main is making his pro debut today, but it's not as a pitcher. He is in the lineup for the AZL Rangers as the DH and is 1-4 with 3 RBI so far. He was considered to be a possible 5 tool centerfield prospect by some.

What do you guys think of the Rangers doing this?

mlb.tv using a proxy

Has anyone been able to get this to work yet this season? I'm having trouble running into "server errors" when I try to watch a game. Here's what it says when I try to open a game on mlb.tv while behind a proxy:

"Server busy. Please try back again soon.

500 error. Server Error"

When I'm not using the proxy I can watch out of market games.

Hey, I created a fantasy baseball league on yahoo for LSB users. All settings are default now and can be changed later, so please make suggestions. The same goes for the draft time.

OT: mlb.tv question

mdickson — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 03:57:08 -0000

Ok, we all know that these blackout rules are ridiculous.

I'm wondering if I subscribe to mlb.tv's service if I'll be able to get most of the Rangers games. I live in Baton Rouge.

Please help me out, I've looked and can't find anything. You'd think that me being 8 hours from Arlington would be enough for me to get the games.

Thanks for your help.

No Draft Pick Compensation In New CBA

News has broken, bad for the Rangers.

GMJ 200 hits?

mdickson — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 03:01:54 -0000

He has 191 right now, 5 games to go after today. It'd be really impressive seeing how he missed the first two weeks of the season. Do you think he'll get it? I won't bet against him doing it.

OT: Governor Election

This is shaping up to be at least a semi-interesting election. Who's going to win and who do you support?

Best MLB Manager

I sure do agree with all the flack that Buck receives on here. With that said, who do you guys consider to be the best manager in baseball?
