MLB Network Launches In Two Days!!!

Damn reef, that really sucks. So far you have simply missed World Series re-runs, the Larson perfect game, and Hot Stove once a night at 7EST.

Hot Stove has been the best thing so far as they talk to MLB stars (Sean Casey, Cameron Maybin) and GMs (Omar Minaya). And they have been talking about a lot of the possible moves with Manny and D Lowe.

Have you tried calling your cable company to see whats up?

[love_that_reefer]

I have written mostly emails. Every time I call, I get automated machines and not an actual operator. I'm not a patient man!

[redsrbetter]

bet they are getting many phone calls on this.

[DravenX]

Weird. No idea why that would happen...

It's Comcast. We had Comcast when we lived in CA and my parents couldn't stand them. They have to be the worst cable provider in the US.

I have Comcast and I get MLB Network.

So Prime 9 aired yesterday and their first category was to rank the top 9 CF of all time. Their thoughts:

9. Kirby Puckett
8. Jim Edmonds
7. Duke Snider
6. Ken Griffey Jr.
5. Joe DiMaggio
4. Tris Speaker
3. Mickey Mantle
2. Ty Cobb
1. Willie Mays

Without injuries, I think Junior would be much higher. But I think he is listed in the right spot here. Andruw Jones is another intriguing possibility if he didn't fall off the planet. Perhaps Kenny Lofton? Nah, I like this list and think it is right on to be honest.

So what do you guys think? And who do you think will be there in the future?

[love_that_reefer]

Based on defense, I would have Edmonds much higher.

[redsrbetter]

Yeah -only if we were basing it solely on defense- absolutely. But what about the whole package? Edmonds is awesome for sure, but as a whole player, is he better than those listed above him?

[love_that_reefer]

Nope, I can't do it.

[Porter]

Even with Edmonds superior defense, I think hes fine right where hes at.

Anyone watching Hot Stove right now?

[catman]

Over the past couple of days, I've watched quite a bit. It appears ESPN will have to do something to retain viewers to Baseball Tonight.

[love_that_reefer]

They will still have me since I still don;t get the MLB Network!!

[catman]

Sorry to hear that. Its really quite well done.

[love_that_reefer]

So I've heard. They have clips on the internet but I really love watching the old games.

Here we are in Spring Training and I still don;t have the MLB Network **** Comcast!!
