FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

Last year I was still able to use the classic Gameday interface, but when I tried to use it on a couple exhibitions this spring, I got an error message. I will be very disappointed if it doesn't work on real games.

That press release is quit a thing. Mark Newman sounds like he needs a quaalude.

Actually, now that I look at it, the revamped Gameday looks pretty good. The fixed my biggest peeve, which was the tiny roster area. Of course the whole thing is now too tall to fit on my screen.

Dodger Thoughts linked to a Gameday tonight. I say "a" Gameday because I don't know if it's the new version or not. But the Gameday I saw tonight was like watching a game with a television commercial constantly playing. I'm not talking about billboard ads, I'm talking about moving pictures as a constant. Talk about eyesores. I lasted all of 45 seconds.

5 I was looking at this game:

but since it was already completed, it was pretty much static. I am worried about the prospect of this:

"MLB.com has integrated Gameday with in-depth Game Previews, in-game Video Alerts and the MLB.com Daily Rewind Game Recaps and other game-specific video from right inside the application. In-game Video Alerts will showcase all home runs, great plays and lead changes after the seventh inning."

which is probably what you saw. I'm gonna hate it, I just know it.
