Baseball Gameday

Right now I'm watching the Tampa Bay Devil Rays play the First Place Texas Rangers on MLB Game Day. This is a really cool little Macromedia Flash thingy.

Crap... Jeff Blum just homered on a line drive to right field in the top of the 5th off Rangers' pitcher Chan Ho Park... lucky it's only a solo shot... Texas 4 Tampa Bay 2... next three batters Crawford, Lugo, Huff are out on fly to right, SOS, ground to first...

Bottom of the 5th... Zambrabo pitching... Blalock [R] SOS after working count to 3/2 with three foul balls... Soriano [R] up... walks on 5 pitches... Fullmer [L] up... pick off attempt at 1B... called S... ball 1, outside high... foul... pick off attempt at 1B... ball 2 outside, high... ball 3, outside high... ball 4, outside, low... Soraino to 2B, Fullmer to 1B... Texiera [L] up... ball 1, outside... ball in play... GIDP... 3 AWAY...

Score: Texas 4 Tampa Bay 2

WOW, this is so cool... there is a screen capture in the extended entry if you want to see all the stuff that is on the screen.

Just look at all the information... there's stuff that you mouseover for more information too... mouse the batter and it displays in text what the batter has done in his ABs... mouse the pitcher and it tells you his stats for the game #pitches, S, B, SO, BB etc... if you have the sound on the radio going it would be almost as good as being at the ballpark!... some parts are better... cheaper beer... no line at restroom... farting / belching as you please... cussing and raising hell... pissing off the porch in your backyard... play by play announcers... the pleasure of using your mind to imagine what the game would look like at the ballpark or watching on TV... plus the advantage of all the graphics and statistics you refer to at a glance...

Too friggen cool!!!!

If I didn't have to do some other stuff tonight, I'd do play by play for you... I'll figure out a way to do that one night when I can put everything else aside...

Maybe I can do play by play when the Yankees play at Arlington or when Texas plays at Houston...

Maybe I'll go to the game in Houston when Roger Clemens is pitching... that would be sweet....
