The Youk is the Man

I bet Red Sox managment has some regrets about trading Kevin Youkilis away to the White Sox. Man, he helped the Sox winning a few games since the trade less than 2 weeks ago! Red Sox was swept by the 3rd place A's while White Sox just swept the 1st place Rangers. I've been able to follow these games thanks to my newly paid subscription to MLB.TV :)

MLB.TV Premium tips

Like every service, good ones or bad ones, there are always a few tricks to maximize your experience.

One big attraction of MLB.TV Premium (compared to the "basic service") is the ability to stream on mobile device using the At Bat App. There are actually two favors: At Bat 11 costs $9.99 while At Bat Lite is free. I was a bit confused. Turns out I could use the free version for streaming.

Next issue has to do with streaming in Web Browser (Chrome, fyi) on my PC. My internet connection does not have enough bandwidth for HD. I'm not too crazy about it anyway. I tried sliding the quality bar to the lowest and it kept resetting back to highest and the video kept buffering. In addition, it kept nagging me to use Nextdef (a browser plugin) I decided I couldn't do worse so I installed it. Now I have another slider that goes from "Standard" to "Nextdef." Once I slided it to "Nextdef." The quality setting would stay at the lowest, finally!

MLB.TV Premium

MLB.COM好勤力日日send e-mail俾我終於奏效：MLB.TV Premium這個棒球賽streaming服務，半季減價到$79.99；另一誘因係MLB.TV Premium可在新電話上用At Bat App觀看，我抵受唔到誘惑落左搭。

睇左幾場好波：星期五晚Mets出knuckle ball奇人再贏Dodgers，星期日Brewers在最後半個inning憑對方失誤險勝D-back。

The magical 1967

I just found out:

• The Velvet Underground and Nico 
• Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band 
• Are You Experienced 
• Born Under a Bad Sign 

are all released in 1967. What a year!
