MLB.TV Mosaic

MLB.TV Mosaic

Since NESN isn't really gonna be an option when we're in SF, I've signed up from the MLB.TV package. Their Mosaic application is pretty cool (if a tad rusty and prone to collapse at the moment) -- you can stream up to six games live to it, and flip the audio between games. Can definitely see hooking this up to the TV later in the season.
