Thoughts & Experiences from the Mile High City
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.
TiVo HD DVR is the newest Series3, TiVoToGo coming back – Engadget
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.
Yea TiVo!
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.
Broken ‘Harry Potter’ embargo: something stinks | Tech news blog – CNET News.com
You can’t trust anyone anymore. People are just out for the big bucks and the publicity.
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.
Man’s head plays host to squirmy guests
This is just plain gross. This would have plain weird to have something moving around in your head like this. The doctors should have found it sooner.
I am a premium subscriber to MLB.TV. This allows me to watch baseball games streaming live at 700k. The problem is that I can’t watch my local team, the Colorado Rockies because they are blacked out.
I don’t usually have a problem with this except when I am traveling or the game is not broadcast on TV.
For example, I am home today still recovering from a surgery and the game is not being broadcast on local television. But because Major League Baseball blacks out all games of the team in your local market, I can’t watch it.
Major League Baseball should make exceptions for games that are not being broadcast locally and allow people to watch them over the Internet. Especially if they are paying over $125 for the season to subscribe.
Traveling is a different matter. I guess I will go with Slingbox to watch the games while I am away. That is if MLB doesn’t shut them down.
Well I will be listening to the game on the radio today. Go Rockies!
The Denver Post – Give one last shot to Foppa
Let’s bring back Peter Forsberg. He won’t cost the team that much and will generate a lot of interest in the Avalanche.
He will bring energy and help the Avs get back into the Cup race, a place where they belong.
The Denver Post – NASA goofs on space shuttle banner
This is why you always check the spelling of a banner or anything else that will be public prior to putting it up.
Nice job NASA!
Rocky Mountain News – Paratroopers mistakenly land inside prison complex
Opps!
I think that whatever DOD Agency was doing the military training will review their plans and procedures and not jump into a prison again.
This is just plain careless.
Rocky Mountain News – Confluence Park tainted
Many people don’t realize how many municipalities dump their treated sewage into the Platte River along its journey through Denver. Even though it is treated, there are sometimes uncontrolled releases into the water.
People need to be aware of the issue and not go in the water. They or their kids can become really sick.
