Too many games, not enough time
I signed up for MLB.TV again this year, in the hope that I would find the time in the evening or at the weekend to watch some day games from the East Coast, but it's just not happening right now (mainly because I only have a broadband connection at work), so I'm grateful that there is a "Condensed Game" option on the website. I wasn't too enamoured with the concept to begin with, because what I like about baseball is the rhythm of the game, but given that I just don't have the time to watch the full games, the condensed game is a pretty good option to fall back on. You obviously don't get the full feel of the game, but there's enough to sense, for example, that Pedro was on top of his game yesterday and that the Yankees were terrible (just what were Matsui and Jeter up to in left field on David Ortiz's fly-ball that ended up falling in for a ground-rule double?).
Hopefully between now and the end of the season I'll find the time to watch some complete games, but in the meantime condensed baseball is a pretty good substitute.
