Rockies vidicated by Major League Baseball

During the Colorado Rockies last road trip through Pittsburgh, the official scorer made some horrible mistakes.  Well Major League Baseball has corrected those mistakes.

On a bunt to Taylor Buchholz through a high throw to first baseman  Todd Helton causing Todd to come of the base.  For some idiotic reason the official scorer ruled that it was an error on Helton.  It should have been an error on Buchholz.

Well Major League Baseball agreed changing the error to Buchholz from Helton.

The second blunder came with LaTroy Hawkins pitching. Continue reading

ESPN – Rockies 1B coach wears helmet after tragic death – MLB

I think that all base coaches should wear helmets.  Those balls are coming quickly off the bat and if there are runners on base, the base coaches aren’t even looking at the batter.

This was a freak accident and my heart goes out to the family, but Major League Baseball should step forward and protect its coaches.

This is pretty good news.  I love the Tivo DVR’s and have two of them already in my house.

I see the bigger problem here trying to get the cable cards out of my cable provider, Comcast.

I just wish that TiVo ToGo would work with HD content.  But it is a start.

Why can’t ABC broadcast British Open in HD?

ABC usually does a wonderful job in covering the British Open, but this year they have lost the lead to TNT.  One of the main reasons is that they are not broadcasting the coverage in HD.

TNT has covered the British Open, or Open Championship as it is called everywhere else, in full HD in the correct aspect ratio for the first two rounds.  But ABC has picked up coverage for the weekend and they are broadcasting the Open in the traditional 16:9.

In sports coverage these days, why can’t ABC broadcast the Open in full HD.  If TNT is doing it, ABC certainly can.  They broadcast other sporting events in HD and their sister network ESPN does almost all HD broadcast these days.

CBS and NBC are broadcasting all golf events in HD these days.  NBC even broadcast the celebrity event in Lake Tahoe in HD.

If ABC wants to play with the big boys, they need to broadcast all their events in HD.  Get with the times ABC.

The problem is that DeepDiscount.com will not be getting anymore books for release on the release date, but since this is the last one, I guess they don’t care.
