You've probably ended up with Kansas and Detroit like us as there is a rain delay in the Bronx

The White Sox have just lost their 1st game.After coming back from 7-2 down to tie it 7-7 they have a chance to take the lead in the top of the 8th but hit into a double play to end the innning and then the Indians score 3 in the bottom of the inning to eventually win 10-8.This is how this season is going to be for the Sox Can't see any better than 3rd in the division again.

Bloody taking over NASN! Turned on to watch PTI and Around The Horn earlier and Baseball was on.

It's a sport i'd like to watch but i don't understand the rules properly so i find it boring very quickly. I'm going to read up on it though because it's on virtually every day on NASN.

Also, NASN appear to have a triple header from 6pm tonight, to launch the new season on there.

Turned out to be a quadruple header

NASN have baseball pretty much every day from now until October, somewhere in the region of 250 games, so if you don't like the game, or undertand it, I'd suggest either keeping away from NASN or brushing up on the rules!

When the hockey and hoops have finished PTI and ATH will settle into the 11 til midnight slot hopefully. I can't remember the last time I saw PTI on the first run.

Yep. It had/has usually been the 11 O'Clock slot but this past month or so it's moved to 10. Presumably thats because of the NCAA tournament which has been on.

Might have to learn about Baseball as it's on most of the time! I do watch it occassionally but i don't understand things like RBI (?) or is it EPA (?)

RBI - Runs batted in. Player A hits the ball, players B & C get round to home plate, scoring 2 runs, player A is credited with 2 RBI's.

EPA is actually ERA, which stands for Earned Run Average and is used to measure how good the pitchers are. Basically it's a calculation of how many runs they allow per 9 innings. If a pitcher goes 3 innings and conceeds 1 run his ERA is 3. It gets complicated becuase it's only earned runs, so errors by the fielders don't count, but that's the basics.
