Been doing some work and also keeping an eye on the Detroit-Yankees game online. It’s been a joy watching games online. It has been a lifesaver when I’ve been at work bogged down with stuff in the office. And MLB.TV is free for Apple iOS users via the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Anyway, let’s […]

Well, it could very well be the very last NHL Game of the Week on NBC if the network doesn’t come to an agreement after this season, but we’ll worry about that later. NBC and the NHL have announced that the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks will be the last Game of the Week […]
