Hey Paul and Justin, I love your work! I rarely miss a show, and appreciate all the free entertainment and insight.
On opening day I tried uzzu.tv for the first time, and after checking it out for three minutes I upgraded from a weekly account to a yearly one. It’s about the same price as MLB.TV, but with NO BLACKOUTS, plus all the three other sports! Now I can watch my Twins every day without paying the thieving cable companies.
I hope that doesn’t read like an ad…I was just reacting to Justin’s comment about needing apple.tv. Email me if you have any questions: bird@belfastcowboys.com.
Speaking or the Twins, keep an eye on Jhoan Duran as a deep sleeper closer that you didn’t mention. Dude was throwing flames yesterday.
