I was bored yesterday on the looooooong drive from work and it was on, so I stuck with it. When I was in a fever-dream I watched a little of the MLB Network's preveiw day, which consisted solely of the 2004 and 2005 world series films without commericals. That is to say, they stopped for the exact same commerical for the MLB Network with some bad cover of "What a Wonderful World" playing. As I was in a fever-dream, it was kind of awesome for a good 4 hours or so and then it was just teeth-grindingly awful. Honestly, I have no idea what the MLB Network is going to do for stuff. They only have access to what, like 1 game per week this year? They can't possibly do Baseball Tonight (truely one of the worst shows masquerading as a great show) for the other 165 hours of the week, can they? Not to mention the winter when they is genuinely almost nothing to talk about 99% of the time. But I will say this: they're debuting with Don Larsen's perfect game, as called by Vin Scully(!!!!!) and Mel Allen in its entirity with the original commericals. So that's not a bad way to kick things off. When they then go on to show Yankee and Red Sox classics for the following 7 weeks is when I'll turn it off.

I'd be excited except that I've learned to expect very little from MLB. They'll find a way to turn it into something underwhelming. Also, @Andrew: you know the MLB network launches tomorrow?

The only thing bad college football is greater than is televised golf. But since pretty much everything is greater than televised golf, that's not saying much.
