Oh wait. No film! No audio, either! Because mlb.tv has screwed up.
For some idiotic reason mlb.tv decided to roll out a new media player system over the weekend and I haven’t been able to access any games since Saturday. They had all spring training to test out the new system and now here it is, Opening Day (the real Opening Day), and I and many others are currently unable to watch our teams. Man, this feels like Christmas has been cancelled.
Holding out hope here that the techies at mlb.tv will fix whatever it is that needs fixing in time for today’s games — especially the Mets game (4.10pm ET versus the Fish in Miami). Introducing a new, untested system on Saturday, when MLB made three spring training games available for free to all, was a real stroke of stupidity. It surely made a good first impression on potential customers who were unable to watch the games. Way to go. Bud Selig makes $14 million a year. Can’t he afford to hire some people with brains over at mlb.tv?
At any rate, I’ll try to keep my seething under control. I’m torn between seething and crying. But watching this makes me feel better:
