Widescreen Wednesday

I've just discoverd NESN's Widescreen Wednesday feature. Although I'm not convinced that I'm seeing all that much more of the action (80% of the shots we see during any broadcast are of the batter at home plate, so all I'm really seeing is more of the first- and third-base lines), I do like the look of it. On a regular PC screen it comes up in letterbox format, which gives the whole experience an unusual, movie-like feel.

So unusual, in fact, that, despite the fact that's it's now 1:40am, I'll probably now end up watching the whole game. Thank God for those frequent French public holidays - cue a long lie-in tomorrow morning!
