DirecTV says it will offer a few extras to Extra Inning subscribers.

For $39 extra (the basic package will cost $160), subscribers will get:

  1. 10 games a week in HD.
  2. A screen that can show up to eight games at once.
  3. A channel that shows highlights of live games.

When baseball started broadcasting postseason games at night, Bowie Kuhn's autobiographer asked him what effect he thought that might have on kids who couldn't stay up late to watch the games.

Kuhn's answer: "F* 'em."

That is also my reply to DirecTV.

Hmm... I'm trying to decide if the title of this post isn't more irritating than the baseball metaphors of several posts back. Eh, I'll give Bob the benefit of the doubt. But just this once.

Isn't that word "azimuth"?

I actually heard Ralph Kiner use it on a Mets broadcast once.
