Tiny by Jeff on in Game Threads Comment 776 comments

If you're just getting home from a long day of work and you're looking forward to opening the thread below so you can read some intellectual and on-topic conversation about King Felix and Mariner baseball, I have bad news. However, if you consider yourself fascinated by the industrious earmarks of antediluvian warfare, your outlook is brighter.

BTW Just saw this on another board

haven't tried it yet but:

I had no problems installing NexDef. But one suggestion, unistall Silverlight, it sucks. It runs much better in WMP. When you log into MLB.TV it will ask you to install Silverlight to view the games, just click on the "switch to lower streams button on the bottom, which actually doesn't make you switch to lower streams, it lets you use 1.2 in WMP (hopefully they don't fix that). Although you do need NexDef to use the 1.2 stream. Not sure what to do there. Restart computer and try again I guess.
