The New MLB Network

In case you hadn't heard (or watch hockey exclusively), Major League Baseball is starting a new cable TV network appropriately named the MLB Network.

Original and full-time programming doesn't start until January 1, 2009 - but the channel is up and I HAVE IT.

Cablevision comes through again! Yes. Right now, it's a lot of playoff and season history stuff, but it's 100% BASEBALL, 100% OF THE TIME. Nirvana.

Here's the skinny - Channel 790 on Cablevision HD, channel 400 on IO. SWEEEET!

While I'm posting, here's two more things:

Finished watching the excellent Playing for Peanuts DVD from John J. Fitzgerald. This is the guy who filmed the Irish Baseball Movie. Story of Mr. Wally Backman's managerial stint in an independent minor league coaching the South Georgia Peanuts of Albany, GA. Highly recommended!

And - to anyone out there who may think that stealing packages from houses is a fine way of life; you are scum. If I catch you, it will be time to get medieval. Be warned.
