Without fail, in every Open Thread, someone asks for a link. It's not hard.
Step 1: stop being lazy
Step 2: go to firstrowsports.eu or vipbox.tv
Step 3: choose your sport and find a link!

With how many open threads for games lately there have been, you would have to work to avoid seeing people who had already posted them

I don't spend a lot of time on MGo, so I have no idea what's been posted. Plus I run a Linux box and firstrow sports will only work with WINE and I refuse to use WINE. Windows == the devil.

Some of the links work with Ubuntu
Some of the links work with Ubuntu
I use Ubuntu and frequently watch nba games on firstrow. Occasionally links won't work due to a missing plugin or whathaveyou, but for the most part, I haven't had a problem. If you don't run Ubuntu, this may not be helpful but you might want to consider giving firstrow another shot.

Yeah, he was struggling to throw strikes in that first inning, but it looks like it was nerves. Since that inning, and aside from Pena's home run, he's been good.
And how about Cabby fielding that (albeit terrible) bunt and making the throw on the run?
April 12th, 2012 at 2:17 PM |
Terrible bunt..
Terrible bunt..
because it was popped up, but once it landed it was a tough play and Cabby handled it well.
Smyly is nibbling way too much still. He needs to throw strikes and trust his stuff.

Smyly wasn't spectacular, but
Smyly wasn't spectacular, but he wasn't terrible today. It would have been nice to see him get through the 5th, but I'm not disappointed that he didn't. He had low walk rates last year, so I wouldn't expect to see him walk as many batters as he did. I'm chalking it up to nerves. Despite that, he only allowed 1 run and still struck out 4. Definitely a good starting point to build on.
Now, it's about time for our bats to wake up.

That was the exact same swing
That was the exact same swing
That was the exact same swing on a very similar pitch from his last at-bat. The only difference is that in his previous at-bat, the left-fielder was able to get to it. That's a really good sign though, when he's taking those pitches on the outer half to the opposite field. He'll come around eventually.
