http://z.about.com/d/phoenix/1/7/j/H/2/scoreboard600.jpg Here is what the scoreboard at Chase Field looks like. They had the same type of scoreboard as Miller park. I attended a couple of games this year and was absolutly amazed at the clarity of the screen. As you can see the screen breaks into separate functions but the replays are awesome. The whole screen shows the play. The only thing is they will not show close plays (MLB Rules). This would be a huge improvement over what Miller Park has now.

I remember reading an article before the 2007 season regarding WI-Fi in the parking lots. Does anybody know what lots have WI-FI (ex. General or preferred). Also is it only limited to Mets, Expos etc... I am flying in from Arizona tonight and would really like to watch the Cub game on TBS Hot Corner after Game 3. Any help would be appreciated!!!! Go CREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flying in from Arizona on Friday night and arriving early Sat. morning. I am taking my day and we are sitting in section 129 row 22. This is awesome!!!!!!!!

Patrick425, no problem on the picture. The only time they use the main field is for spring training. I have been out a couple of times for the Rookie league and the field that they use is right next to the minor league clubhouse. I do not think that they even open up the major league clubhouse until spring training. For the Arizona Fall League Maryvale does not have a team. Mesa (Cubs), Scottsdale (Giants), Peoria (Pad's and Mariners), Phoenix (A's) and Surprise (Rangers and Royals) have teams.

If he would have gotten a good pitch he could have hit one out off of the pitcher. Of all the pitches he saw, I do not think one was even close to the plate. This kind of sucks since he is trying to get some good swings in. Just read on JSonline that he will play in one more game tomorrow for the AZ League Brewers and hopefully be in the lineup Wednesday.

I had to leave just before Billy took his second at bat. Also it was getting extremly hot out. Overall I would say that this little stint was a success. He looked good out in center (a little bored but so was I.) This league is the lowest of rookie ball and the talent is just not that good. Think high school baseball or a little worse since most of these guys are from the Caribbiean and probably have not had that much organized baseball. In the second inning Billy was in the field for a good half hour so I know that he was probably a little disgruntled. There was probably a total of 5 fans there watching. I hope I can get this picture to stick because it was the best I shot today. http://render2.snapfish.com/render2/is=Yup6aQQ%7C%3Dup6RKKt%3AxxWtUq4P0-ofrj%3DQofrj7t%3DzrRfDUX%3AeQaQxg%3Dr%3F87KR6xqpxQPQPxJG0xa0Qxv8uOc5xQQQJP0JnJPanPqpfVtB%3F*KUp7BHSHqqy7XH6gXPee%7CRup6lQQ%7C/of=50,590,442

So I decided to sit out in the good ol Arizona heat to watch Billys rehab start. So far he looks pretty fluid in center. I have not been able to tell if he is favoring the injury. His first at bat has ok. He took a lot of crap and then lined out to the first baseman. solid shot just right at him. In the second he caught two balls in center

Speaking of Hart would have had that. Why is Mench playing right and Hart in center. What is wrong with Gross or Gwynn in center and Hart in right?

Rangers radio broadcast called him safe after replay.

You have to swing the damn bat!!!

JJ= Error's ???? What is that like 5 in the past 3 games?

Come on Villy lets make it 5 k's on the night

Gagne will have to throw two days in a row for the first time this season. Last time he pitched 2 days in a row he got hurt.

Great offense guys, Go get'em in the 9th
