Jed Lowrie makes me do things
I just did the whole monthly subscription thing for MLB.TV so that I'd be able to actually watch his debut and not just listen on the radio. I just needed to...see it. You know, to witness the utter joy that would grace his features were he to get his first Major League hit tonight, or even just to see him and Jacoby talking about something stupid in the dugout. Any of those little things.
Except right now I'm trying to watch the end of the game between Oakland and Chicago (AL), and it buffers very slowly. I guess it's the school server. It keeps pausing in the middle of the action and whatnot - and I don't really like that all too much. But I'll still get to see him, and if it pauses I'll be able to take screencaps. Yay. There are positives to everything!
But I'm still not too keen on it. It's just not working very well. If it honestly keeps pausing and stopping like this in the middle of the game, I'll fall so far behind and miss crucial things...it had better not let me down later tonight. I'm just hoping the school server is overly-busy right now.
Also, for anyone who cares (although I think that may just be me):
Stanford Class of '03. Yay Carlos.
(Disturbingly enough, MLB.TV seems to work better on Internet Explorer than Firefox. I can't explain this.)
EDIT: Watch me be a loser!
I was doing the rounds and checking the fifty million or so baseball blogs I read every day, and when I arrived here I discovered a commercial that I, being currently stationed in Pennsylvania, have never seen. It's a Bruins commercial featuring little kids:
Now here's where I become very, very geeky. I know what that commercial was based on. Does anyone remember the McDonald's commercial that was created from a viral video on YouTube about two fellows standing in front of a franchise (coincidentally across the street from Wrigley, or so I'm told - I've never been to Chicago) and rapping about Chicken McNuggets? You know, the one where the guys keep going, "I'm into nuggets, y'all" and, "Ketchup and mayo, ketchup and mayo!" Well, if you look at the two commercials, you'll notice the same basic beat and cadence.

And the fact that I can notice crap like that is what makes me a loser.
