Basically, at home on TV. No sound on my work computer.

Get home from work at 2:00 PM, sleep until 8:30 then get up and watch until time to go back to work at 5:30 AM. If a game is still going on and is in doubt, I have a list of excuses at the ready for showing up late. Car trouble, emergency phone call from the States, overslept, sick goat, I quit, etc.

I have Gameday Audio, so I'll probably listen to at least the first few innings of the 4 p.m. game before heading home.

Are they not having the regular Gameday (with the play-by-play text)? I looked on the A's site and the option wasn't there.

Right now I've got the little tiny Yahoo gamecast box open in the upper-right-hand corner of my screen. I'll be able to get home in time to watch the Yankees-Angels game. I will be asleep by the time the D'Backs-Cards are on.

The only part of that game I'll see are the highlights in the morning. On the MLB site, they have some really good (and free) highlight packages from each game.

I work for a not profit(we get paid poorly but have great time off). They knew I had this problem. I have time off scheduled every October. When the Sox are eliminated I take it back. :(

I watch the games on tv until my eyes fall off and I am on the road a lot and listen on the radio. I keep it up as long as I can.

If the Sox were in...........I would be out on a leave of absence, it is written in my contract:D .

Moved into a new place - without TV, for the time being - and am swamped with schoolwork, so I am attempting to read a translated ancient Chinese document from the Shang dynasty while watching ESPN Gamecast.

I have cable TV and internet access in my office. So today at 1, Hawkeye and I ( my dog that I can take to work too ) will be on the couch, in my office, watching Barry v. Tommy.


Did I make anyone jealous??;)

Watching the Yahoo gamecast until I get done at my day job....then listening on the radio during the drive home.....and then watching the end of the game at Target, where I'll hang out periodically in their electronics department while pretending to work.

I'll be long asleep by the time the late games come on.....
