Then why pick favorites at all?
I use the trade rumors app (it has push notifications for your favorite teams, top stories, etc) and mlb at bat.
That's a good question.

I just use Cortana on my Windows Phone to get my scores.

I rely on the At Bat app and twitter.

As a Q/A tester for the MLB app, don't use it.
They spying on us? It's a nice app.
So you are a pitcher, QA for the best sports app, and cheer for the Mets. Are you secretly Sandy Alderson? Is this why the Mets stopped their offseason in like November; you're just so busy with all this secondary stuff?
can't believe I haven't used it yet

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Frankman must be involved somehow as well.
I miss that man.
He's on slaent now with the rest of nba gaf and soccer gaf.
So if mlb gaf ever gets nba-gaf'd, we'll have a new home to go to.

I'm still trying to figure out how nba GAF got shut down.

Nah I just do some minor Q/A for a bit of pocket money, sidenote, seriously, http://www.utest.com/ it's free to sign up, it's free to do the sandbox test, and then you get offers to just do basic testing stuff on your phone or tablet or what have you. It's pretty sweet.
Although if the damn Wilpon's would pay me more I wouldn't have to worry about this shit.

Something about being mean to newcomers.
Wait, again?! Damnit.

Same thing happened to me. Received an e-mail one morning, jumped out of bed.
But you can turn it off on their website again.
Although I really did enjoy their PS3 App last year when they finally fixed it near the end of the season. I'll probably just wait how the Indians are doing first month or 2 this time around before diving in again.

Yeah same. Would love it if they ran a deal on it. People here were saying they run a deal on Father's Day.

Yup they do. By far the best value when it comes to games left/price.
Last 2 years they have been running a promo around the beginning of May for half price. It is a targeted promo but they allowed anyone to sign up.
I have my cancellation emails saved and cancelled it about 20 times during the off season. last month it finally showed with autorenew off, their entire thing sucks horribly.
The price starts at like 129 for the year and drops like 10-20 per month around the start of the month starting in may.
In the past there have been monthly options, but I can't seem to find them any more, which would suck as my plan was to just buy the april month for now. Without a monthly option I will likely just skip mlb.tv until a good deal shows up.

I think it had something to do with a Cavs fan. Can't remember though.

So I was watching local sports with Fred Roggin and he's talking about Yandel might take more duties catching Kersh instead of Ellis. Seriously Donny? Why re sign Ellis if he's not Kersh's personal catcher?

On Android or something else? I'd be interested if they aren't Android specific.

Android, sorry. Japanese apps that the developer didn't limit to the japanese store.
BJ Upton (lol Melvin) hurt, going in for an MRI on his foot.
I know he sucks, but there was always that hope that maybe he would get out of it if even just a bit.
Now that hope is likely gone. Dont know who the Braves will have to replace him. This really is going to be a miserable year

That's a clown question bro from him.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
What does "tribal" mean? (serious question.)
Own set of rules I think. Like not going by GAF ToS

Capt America finna just have a 5 WAR season like always.
It goes along with being hostile to outsiders. There was an "in group" inside the NBA GAF thread that consisted of regular posters in their thread.
Being a regular poster is not in itself bad, but it's bad when your "in group" develops its own rule set and becomes hostile to those they perceive as not part of their "in group." In turn, they become protective of those they see as their "brothers" and will stick up for them even to moderators, and even when those "brothers" are clearly being obnoxious or racist or whatever.
For instance, I permanently banned a prominent member of NHL GAF a couple of years ago for multiple, clear violations of our rules. When I did so, another member of NHL GAF sent me a PM and threatened me physically, suggesting he can easily figure out where I live.
That's the sort of attitude I'm talking about, although it's rarely that extreme. We don't look kindly on fraternal orders that stick up for each other no matter what or who denigrate perceived outsiders to their little club.

At the end of the day the point of any internet forum is a place to express oneself freely, and have fun.
If it's not fun people will stop showing up.
