why the **** does comcrap have bull riding in HD but not the Giants and Padres game in HD?

my purpose for having HD is for sports... baseball specifically.

1)because the baseball leuges and commission hold too tight a reign on the rights
2)because they ask too much money to show it (again rights problems)
3)because baseball sucks
4)All of the above

Correct answer is in bold.

So far watching the Giants.... It's disappointing that the Giants spent so much money on Renteria.... Not only b/c he's off to a slow start this season but b/c he cockblocked Frandsen from coming up.

I know Frandsen ain't the best but you know ... local love. No Renteria = Buriss plays SS and Frandsen at 2B.

Not to mention Adam Dunn who's like 40+ HR and 100+ RBI/season signed with the Nats for much less.

Then again we do have an abundance of OF but of course we signed Renteria for his bat and not his declining defense.

Eh just wanted to talk baseball for a bit. Sorry for rambling off topic

Boo Dodgers!! hahaha

It's gonna be Dodgers vs D-Backs for the NL West. I don't see the any of the other teams putting up a fight. Rockies... I actually have no idea whats going on with them, but the Padres have shaky pitching and well the Giants... they find a way to screw things up lol. I'm just hoping for a .500+ season.

As much as I hated to see Schmidty go... lol I knew deep down he was coming up on an injury and was glad he went to LA haha. I remember seeing him and his big bird nose hobbling over to 1st.

We have an answer for Man-Ram tho =p Mad-Bum haha. So sweet when that 19 y/o kid got him on 3 pitches.

Who am I kidding; Man-Ram is crazy good.
