Enjoy Spring Training games and regular season games on Apple TV | MLB.com: Subscriptions
Holy shitting crikey. I was hoping this would happen and it has. MLB’s all-games streaming service will work on your Apple TV (along with your iPad and iPhone) for a price that’s $100 cheaper than buying the equivalent package on cable or satellite (basically covering your purchase of an Apple TV if you don’t already own one!)

A Love Letter To The San Francisco Giants
Fab summation of why SF is so electric this week. There is a lot of happiness in the air, and anyone who sneers at it (either by moaning about fairweather fans, or about how sports is dumb) is missing the point.

BBC Sport - Liverpool to be bought by Boston Red Sox owners

How Mariano Rivera Dominates Hitters
Lovely vid from the NYT. As a Sox fan, I loathe Mariano Rivera, for he is so damned good.

Casey Kotchman’s RBI Double
I didn't bring a telephoto lens on this trip, so this is about the best photo I have of the game!
What makes Fenway, Fenway.
A silly little detail, but one I loved. They've installed these lovely high-resolution multi-colour animation-capable LCD displays, but show the scores, stats and messages in a dot-matrix font that resembles the screens they replaced.
Atop the Green Monster
Watching the Yanks take batting practice.

Report: Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003 - ESPN
*le sigh*. The inevitability of this news doesn’t really take the edge off the sadness. The Red Sox had been lucky with the steroid testing leaks and reports so far. Now, the 2004 & 2007 World Series wins are _officially_ tarnished.

When Barack met Beckett
There is nothing I do not love about this photo — not least the look on Youk’s face!

Didn't help! The Giants lost 7-0.

Fantastic day for a game at AT&T Park.
Garlic Fries
With a much-needed bowl of breath mints nearby.
The best ballpark food in the country? Possibly. Also outstanding: the Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs for sale at the Tres Agaves cart.
