"DISH Network is committed to providing our customers with the HD content they want, and the launch of TBS in HD -- just in time for the first round of the playoffs -- is a home run for baseball fans," said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network.

"Just in time"?

Dish comes up a day late (actually 5 days late) and a dollar short and still claims "a home run for baseball fans."

The truth is they should be totally embarassed that the self proclaimed leading HD provider was the only major provider not providing the first 5 days of tie-break and playoff games in HD. Don't get me wrong -- I am very happy that we now have TBS HD -- I just don't think it is appropriate to claim "a home run for baseball fans" when they have merely caught up with all the providers they claimed to be ahead of.

I don't know which is more embarassing -- the leader in HD providers being late in providing the playoffs in HD or blowing their own horn about catching up with everyone else "just in time."

They just don't get it.

Worse is, Scott intimated the only reason they released TBS-HD on Friday was because of Bob's screen capture. Still looking for more information on that. Otherwise they were planning to wait until Wednesday to let it loose.

The sports leader? Hardly. DTV has put it's stake in the ground with sports. They've got all the major sports packages, and more RSN's. I can't stand marketing people because they believe in their doublespeak.

Listen to Goaliebob's latest Podcast for info on what may have triggered TBS-HD's early arrival.

He was great in teh regular season. Won somehting like 19 games even though he missed the first 6 weeks due to an injury....

The problem was that Steingrabber or Cashman told Torre to start him on three days rest.

I heard that only 30% of pitchers in the playoffs who pitch on three days rest get a win for the team. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it....

This Mets fan fave joke of the day....
