I think watching Castillo sac bunt against Mather frustrated me more than anything else by far. It was just completely mind boggling.

Growler:
Directv has its strong points, chief among them is the fact that it is the only provider to show almost every “Extra Innings” package game in HD. But that lag is a killer. I live in the DC suburbs and I spend most games talking to my friends who are still in NY. They’re usually about 5 seconds ahead of me. I achieved a partial solution when I erected an over-the-air antenna on my roof. My Directv DVR (I think it’s the HR-20; it’s a few years old) has a dual tuner that integrates the over-the-air channels into the Directv channel lineup. Anything on the over-the-air channels runs a few seconds AHEAD of any cable feed. Bonus: the signal is uncompressed, so the HD picture is even better than Directv’s (admittedly excellent) compressed signal. Bonus #2: you get a bunch of extra channels operated by the local PBS and network affiliates. The antenna cost about $300 including installation. Of course, the antenna isn’t helpful if you’re watching the game on SNY.
