MLB.TV - boy have I been missing out

Baseball is back, and it is glorious!

The Phillies opened their grapefruit league schedule today, beating the Yankees 5-4.

The best part about the game today was not the fact that the Phillies won. It was not the fact that Cole Hamels pitched well. No, the best part was that I was able to sit down with my son and daughter and actually watch them play.

Having moved to Ohio in 2002, I don't get to see many Phillies games.

That will change this year.

Gone are the days of missing games. I have entered the world of technology by signing up for MLB.TV this season.

As much as it would have been nice to see guys like Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins play, I was completely content watching Jason Grilli close out the game.

It's baseball season. And for the first time in many years, I will be able to watch the Phillies.

That's good enough for me.
