Really.. .blimey....
All I can say is, it didn't come up yesterday for the 2 live games I
watched (Padres/Cards & Sox/Sox), and it didn't come up earlier when I
started watching last nights Yankees/Angels game....
Speaking of the latter.... whats with the "mlb.com" logo on screen
with no sound between innings... If they're going to the trouble of
adding those into the archive, why don't they do what they've done on
other games (eg Saturdays Marlins/Braves game) and edit the breaks out
!!!

For the record, and I'd i'd been elligble to vote, I'd have chosen
Todd Jones for the comeback player of the year (presented by Viagra).
I'd also like him to get the DHL Delivery man of the year award (or
whatever its called).
