    Does anyone know if Hotspot Shield would work on MLB.TV? It works on NBA LP, so I can stream Rockets games...I don't wanna spend 130 dollars on the baseball package if the Astros games are still blacked out.

    The team itself should be almost as weak as ever. That said, there is a bright future to look forward too. Lots of highly touted prospects that have delivered at their level. Should be a fun ride 2-3 years from now.

    If they painted an X on his jersey helicopters would start to circle and land.

    Great to hear, it does concern me that he isn't currently in a program though, but I am hoping for the best certainly. Alcohol is an easy substitution when someone is getting over substance abuse, they feel it is less dangerous and it most certainly is not.

    I do enjoy the candor, hope it's not just lip service.

    Most of us don't have a problem with weed, I don't smoke but a lot of my friends do. Regardless of your feelings on it's legalization, it is against the rules and for somebody with as much to gain/lose as Singleton you would hope he could keep it in perspective.

    On at least 2 of his PAs he worked the count full. Great sign. Willing to wager that never again in his professional career will Springer go 0-0 with 4 walks.

    Singleton let it all out today. not surprising to most. but a good solid step for him. with lifelong treatment, hopefully he will be the player we hope he can be. but a tough road. Story at ESPN.
