Kann man die Spiele irgendwo auch im TV oder Internet live verfolgen?

NFL freu ich mich auch wieder - hoffe ich bekomme Karten für London

Jetzt gehts mal kommenden Sonntag wieder auf der Hohen Warte los - GO VIKINGS GO

Im TV kannst die MLB auf Premiere (1-2x pro Woche) und ich glaub fast täglich auf NASN verfolgen. Im Internet kannst ALLE Spiele auf http://www.MLB.com verfolgen. Ein Jahresabo kostet ca. 70 Dollar. Habs jetzt schon das zweite Jahr und is echt cool. Kannst nämlich nicht nur alle Spiele live sondern auch alle im Archiv anschauen. Also, die Nachtspiele deines Lieblingsclubs immer einen Tag später am Nachmittag oder Abend anschauen.

Danke für die Tipps - und wenn du mir jetzt noch sagst wie ich NASN empfange wäre ich noch glücklicher.

meines wissens noch nicht in österreich, nur in germany über manche kabelnetze. Ist auch ein PayTV Sender.

Weiters kannst du div. US-Kanäle und auch NASN über Streamtvnow.com empfangen (Kosten: ca. USD 14,-- für 3 Monate). Da gibts jedes Footballspiel live. Alles weitere schau dir am besten auf der Page an.

war im Jahr 2004 angang April beim ersten (oder einem der ersten) Spiele der Florida Marlins in Miami, die damals amtierende Champions waren.

Im Jahr 2005 war ich dann erstmals in der Kathedrale des Baseballsports, im New Yorker Yankees Stadium.

Beides saugeile Erlebnisse.

Die Mets haben 6:1 gewonnen.

Heut gehts auch bei den anderen Teams und meinen Yankees los. Bin ab 19:05 Uhr live drauf...

1. Saison-Homerun von Bonds

Barry Bonds hat erstmals in dieser Saison zugeschlagen Barry Bonds hat zum ersten Mal in der noch jungen Saison zugeschlagen. Bei der 3:5-Niederlage seiner San Francisco Giants gegen die San Diego Padres erzielte der 42-Jährige mit dem 735. Homerun seiner Karriere die 1:0-Führung im ersten Inning.

Damit fehlen dem Leftfielder noch 21 Homeruns, um den Rekord von Hank Aarons (755) zu brechen.

Für die Entscheidung zu Gunsten der Gäste sorgte Adrian Gonzalez im achten Inning mit einem Two-Run-Homerun.

Die ersten vier Tage sind um und die Mets sind am besten aus den Startlöchern gekommen. Gestern sogar mit einem - im Baseball eher ungewöhnlichen - 10:0 Sieg...

vor ca. 15 Minuten, und ich war live drauf... WAHNSINN!!!

NEW YORK -- With two outs and the bases loaded, Alex Rodriguez belted a walk-off grand slam in the ninth inning on Saturday to beat the Orioles, 10-7. It was his sixth walk-off homer in his career.
Kei Igawa came away with a no-decision after giving up eight hits -- two of them homers -- and seven earned runs in five innings. He struck out two and walked three in his 97-pitch effort.

Mariano Rivera gave up one hit and struck out Freddie Bynum in a scoreless ninth to give the Yanks a chance in the bottom half against Orioles closer Chris Ray (0-1).

Steve Trachsel started for the Birds and pitched 6 2/3 innings of four-hit ball.

Johnny Damon, who hasn't played since Opening Day because of a strained right calf, pinch hit for Miguel Cairo in the eighth inning but struck out. Hideki Matsui left the game with a strained left hamstring.

The Yankees are back!

NEW YORK -- Josh Phelps was trotting around the bases to complete what appeared to be a meaningless solo homer Thursday afternoon when Andy Pettitte leaned over and snuck in a quick comment to Alex Rodriguez.
Sitting on the Yankees' bench, Pettitte warned Rodriguez that he might have one more at-bat coming. Rodriguez considered the game situation -- two outs, bottom of the ninth -- and admitted he didn't have a very good feeling about this one.

One has to wonder what sort of premonitions Pettitte may hold for the Yankees' upcoming series at Boston.

A momentous six-run rally erupted, and just as predicted, Rodriguez delivered the capping blow, tagging closer Joe Borowski for a game-winning three-run homer as the Yankees sunk the Indians, 8-6, to complete a series sweep.

Somewhere in a mob scene at home plate, after Rodriguez had cracked third-base coach Larry Bowa on the head and spiked his batting helmet into the turf, Rodriguez caught eyes with Pettitte.

"He was laughing," Rodriguez said. "He just said, 'I told you.'"

Rodriguez's incredible April continued with his Major League-leading 10th home run, as A-Rod became the first player in American League history to hit that many homers in his club's first 14 games.

"I'm just trying to enjoy the moment," Rodriguez said.

But he couldn't have done it without a ninth inning that proved to be part miracle, part meltdown. Coming on with a four-run lead, Borowski retired the first two batters in the frame, sending some in what remained of a crowd of 40,872 trickling toward the stadium exits.

Those who left missed the most exciting parts of a Thursday matinee that, for Yankees fans, had been highlighted by a Jason Giambi home run, 4 1/3 innings of solid ball from rookie Darrell Rasner, and little else.

Phelps kept the Yankees' hopes alive by slugging a solo homer -- his first since May 2005 -- to left, cutting Cleveland's lead to 6-3. Jorge Posada ripped a two-strike single up the middle and moved to second on defensive indifference before Johnny Damon walked, bringing Derek Jeter to the plate as the tying run.

By this point, with Bobby Abreu looming on deck and searching for his fourth hit of the game, thoughts of a comeback started to stir in Rodriguez's mind.

4/19 vs. Cle. Joe Borowski 9th 2 on, 2 out 8-6 win **
** -- A-Rod walk-off homer

"I figured if Johnny got on, I knew Jete would do something and I know Bobby's been swinging the bat well," Rodriguez said.

Jeter singled to left, scoring Posada to draw New York within two, and Abreu notched that fourth safety with a hit to left, scoring Damon.

"You never know what's going to happen," Jeter said. "You don't expect this [rally], but we have enough guys who are capable of getting hits and getting on base. Sometimes the last few outs are difficult to get."

Suddenly, there was Rodriguez, walking to the plate. To further complicate matters, a wild pitch moved the runners up. Opting not to pitch to Giambi with the bases loaded, the Indians settled upon trying their luck with Rodriguez.

"In years past, maybe I would have outthought myself in that situation, runners at second and third," Rodriguez said. "I just wanted to see the ball and put a good swing on it, and trust what I saw."

"It's the new Alex," Damon said. "He's taking playing in New York differently. He knows he's bigger, stronger and works harder than anyone, and is just letting that carry him."

On the bench, left-hander Sean Henn realized that -- having pitched the ninth inning -- he was now in position to notch his first Major League victory.

"I'm thinking, 'Wow, I have a chance here," Henn said.

Rodriguez took a pitch before meeting a fat 88-mph fastball and launching a deep drive to center field. With Cleveland center fielder Grady Sizemore playing in to guard against a potential play at the plate, the only question was just how far this one would go.

The answer came as the ball landed beyond the 408-foot mark in center, bouncing around to the left of the spot where Rodriguez's April 7 walk-off grand slam against Baltimore had settled.

As Rodriguez flipped his bat in the air and put his hands out, he again related to feeling like a Little Leaguer, leaping around the bases and just waiting for the opportunity to clap his hands on the skull of gritty third-base coach Larry Bowa, who was doing a little jumping of his own.

"I get the most pleasure out of trying to hit Bowa on the head as hard as I can," Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez's heroics bailed out ineffective reliever Luis Vizcaino, who had surrendered the advantage in a four-run Cleveland seventh.

With the Yankees hoping to carry a one-run lead and a series sweep into their weekend series at Fenway Park, those dreams took a hit as Jason Michaels walked and came around to score on an infield groundout, before Vizcaino served up a three-run homer to Victor Martinez.

Rasner started for the Yankees, following starts from Chase Wright and Kei Igawa to mark the first time since 1991 that the club had started three rookies in a series. Rasner surrendered a solo home run to David Dellucci in the fourth inning but limited the Indians to four hits, walking one and striking out three.

For veteran observers like Pettitte, who watched the contest from the Yankees' bench as he prepares for a whole new set of hysterics this weekend in Boston, the first eight innings of the contest must have seemed rather mundane.

It's a recipe perfected by the Gotham tabloids: sprinkle in a little Alex and, all of a sudden, the voltage jumps.

Last season, the news seemed to be all negative, and it filtered around the Major Leagues and down to Houston's clubhouse -- A-Rod this, A-Rod that. Through their 14 games sharing a clubhouse, Pettitte has to just sit back and wonder if he'd misheard it all.

"It's all been good since I've been here," Pettitte said. "I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what everyone was complaining about."
