I love the ABL for one stupid reason. When I was sending out mass resumes for jobs, I sent one for the opening for Commissioner of the Australian Baseball League. Obviously I didn't get the job, but I got a nice rejection e-mail with MLB letterhead :D

Anyways, I have a friend who's husband is from Perth. I guess if I have to have a rooting interest...

It was good to watch some baseball. Not a bad game at all. Looking forward to tomorrows game.

First, DAMNIT I WANT MLBN!

Second, was it a direct simulcast of the Aussie broadcast? Was it hard to decipher what the announcers were saying? I'm just curious.

Third, I know the language thing is a barrier and the fact that the seasons overlap a bit but I think it would be interesting if MLB-N did something similar with Japanese baseball. You could have a couple of the MLB-N guys doing the commentary off the monitor and the tech people could translate the graphics.

It's just a thought :)

Good idea. At the very least, the Japan Series should be broadcast in North America.

I would like them to broadcast more games. Theres only so many Prime 9 reruns I can take during the offseason

The game wasn't that bad. I guess it's comparable to AA around here, but they seemed to have quite a bit of MLB experience.
