Look at the dates: all the posts are from last month, when everything was working fine and dandy with mlb.tv and Linux. Mplayer-plugin was just one of the three different plugins I was able to use to watch the baseball games. The problem is that, in the last fortnight or so, mlb.tv has changed from easy media streams to requiring either Windows Media Player or Flash. As I stated in the post, flash is garbage under windows and even worse under Linux. MLB can continue to kiss my ass until further notice. I came across the same thread in a google search.

Then I go to buy my damn tickets to the damn Mets/Giants games this month and they charge a $7.70 "convenience fee," which is then compounded by a "handling fee" of $3.50--unless you choose to print out your tickets yourself, which is an additional $2.50 on top of that. <i>Printing them out yourself is more expensive than having them mailed at the Giants' expense.</i> Get it? Handle <i>this</i> convenience, you money-grubbing-steroid-pushin' bastards. I was having problems with them as well.

I have a general idea, but maybe you could clarify, because I want to make sure your Jenny is the same one I met at a bar in St. Tropez one time. Also, what’s a Pipibohrungen?

Click the Jim J. Bullock square picture for more info. My Jenny would never hang out with you in bar. Ordering tickets online is horseshit. At least for spring training games, the seat selection process was terrible. All I want to do is choose the row where I want to sit. I don't want best available. I don't want best available by section. I know I want the last row of a section between 205 and 211, so why can't I buy that exact ticket online? If the airlines can manage easy and convenient seat selection, e-ticket and boarding pass printing online, why can't MLB? I thought MLB was supposed to be on the cutting edge of the whole online technology thing. Printing tickets is a waste. You'll only lose them. Will call is the way to go. Also, what do you plan to throw at Barry Bonds? The San Diego fans set the bar pretty high with the syringe. That's going to be a tough act to follow.

Sometimes this is OK, other times it isn't. Printing tickets at home is awesome, except that 1) it is ridiculous that they charge extra for it and 2) you feel like a dink walking through the gate with an 8.5x11 piece of paper, having it scanned and then folding it up and sticking it into your pocket.

Will call lines are rarely all that long and the time spent in one will be far, far less than the time spent being herded through the turnstiles and then waiting behind old people and/or just plain slow people as they slowly waddle their fat asses up the stairs and get to their seats, not to mention the time spent in line for concessions or waiting to get in or out of the parking lot. Waiting in a will call line is a small price to pay to avoid at least some of surcharges that the whores at Ticket Master and MLB thrust upon us helpless consumers.

Apparently, it's possible to get the audio from the video feed, so I'm going to mess with that this weekend. Also, my mlb.tv password is the same as the administrative password for this blog, so giving out free baseball would be like giving up control of this blog.
