The journey from there to here

Note: this is NOT under the "sports" section because, umm, nobody READS it!

With baseball season being shortly upon us, I am considering my options. For those who don't know, I am a diehard Seattle Mariners fan, and living in Texas find myself unable to get broadcasts of their games. Enter the Internet.

This year I intend to listen to/watch every game I can, but I need some help.

I am looking for audio broadcasts I can download. They have Gameday Audio at a very good price, and I am considering it, but I'm not sure if it is just livestream or is available for download. I'm hoping to download games that are scheduled for inconvenient times, or to listen to between calls. Nothing worse than having to take a call when your team's ahead by 2 runs and come back to find them trailing with no idea how it happened.

Does anyone know if Gameday Audio is only livestream, or if it can be downloaded? If it is livestream, any idea where I might be able to find downloads? This baseball fan thanks you in advance for your advice.

Live only as far as I'm aware Gid.

They offer video downloads, and possibly delayed basis audio but it's more expensive than the relative bargain that they charged last year for a years worth of live audio ($14.95).

The video downloads were more expensive.  Approx. $4 per if memory serves.

And yes, the MLB web site is darned confusing about it all.

I emailed the contact person...ideally I'd like to have the games in downloadable format, and I'd be willing to pay a small fee for the convenience. But if it's going to be too much, I'll just pay $14.95 for the year's worth of livestream and be done with it.
