3/30: Stateside Opening Day Open Thread

Here's a fun game I was playing with someone last Friday. Without
cheating, name as many current Washington Nationals pitchers as you
can.
Teixeira '09.

If you're a fantasy player, and you look at the Nationals' pitching staff
you're a bad fantasy player.

I look at it.
I don't own any of them....
well, I picked up Hill a week ago to keep as a DL spot. He is good enough he might produce when healthy.

Well, trygoing to
MLB.com, go to 'Audio and Video' and click on Multimedia guide, then click on the live broadcast for the game. When I do that the log in screen comes up just fine. Unfortunately the national blackout keeps me from seeing what happens past that point, but it should work.

So it's hard for me to say
I never used 2.0 because the only reason I'm off Opera is LL's upgrade, so I can't really compare. Really nice feel and this thing is lightning quick though, so I'm happy enough with it.

I'm using IE too...
and the comments come up normally, but then the little window in the lower left corner pops up late and says about 8 people commented in the last 2 seconds. Although that may be normal, haven't been on a game thread yet.
