MLB on the Web

Last month I was bemoaning the fact that some Dodger games were not on network tv, and since we don't have cable, I couldn't watch, and therefore be a good luck charm for them. Now while the ALCS is on Fox, the NLCS is on TBS (cable). We decided to take the big splurge of $10 for postseason, and buy internet coverage. We've watched four games on my laptop (bringing the price down all the way to $2.50/game!), but this last game was a heartbreaker anyway.

Facts about watching baseball this way:
1) you get to choose up to four camera angles at once (we choose two)
2) no commercials (cameras stay on during breaks, but there is no sound)
3) no scoreboard keeping track of innings, strikes/balls, score, runners

If it's a Yankees/Phillies World Series, I probably won't watch it.
