I know that a few of you are baseball fans and that some of you have excellent taste in teams (go Yankees!). Are you interested in MLB.tv‘s offering on the PlayStation 3? I’m very tempted. I’d love to be able to see Phil Hughes’ excellent game from yesterday, but don’t have a legal way to do it at the moment. Streaming live Yankee goodness in HD sounds excellent to me!
sounds great to me too ray, i just think that it would be a waste of money seeing as how im not awake during live broadcasts….and i work nights
btw..im a phil hughes fantasy owner, so although i say to hell with the yankees, i say go phil hughes!!
@thundercracker If I'm not mistaken, you can watch old games too.
@ray
im a fantasy baseball addict, so im looking at scores and stats all day on my phone, by the time i get home i already know who won EVERY game, and what happened in each game as well. I may get this anyways though, just for the weekends
Updated with video demo.
@thundercracker
then you must've been upset when this happened to Hughes yesterday!

I can't believe he looked everywhere but at his catcher. He deserved to lose it.
@n8r
