OT: Wednesday night poll; what will you be watching

[BMC]

I will be watching the B's until the game is over and then will switch over to the Sox.

Also will check in between periods .

Same here.

And the Bruins game will end before the Sox game so I won't miss the rio-er, the celebrations in Boston should the Sox win Game 6.

 

[Rhoshambeau]

Bruins over watching paint dry a.k.a. modern day baseball.

How is the modern version, I'm not sure what that means, less exciting than say 30 years ago? Are you referring to the PED era being better?

 

[Mione134]

Sox, it's game 6 of the World Series and it's a winning situation. Pretty obvious for me.

I'll flip to the Bruins during commercials and I'll watch it Thursday thanks to DVR, though. Let's hope it only goes 6, though. I'm tired of missing the Bruins.

Same here. I'll flip during commercials and just record it to watch later. The WS doesn't happen every year. The Bruins have only just started. We've got 8 months to enjoy it. This Sox team is pretty special and my nerves can't handle multitasking via the laptop & tv. I gottta stick with one. Get the good juju flowing.

 

[Gee Wally]

I'll be burning up the clicker.

 

[Ladyfan]

I want the Sox to win tomorrow so there will be parking Thurs for the B's game

 

[Paddington]

I'll be watching the Bs on tv with the sox on the tablet in the periphery........but then again, I'm a Jays fan from Toronto :-(

 

[KuralySnipes]

Mostly Sox, will check in on the Bruins occasionally, but its Game 6 of the World Series, something every Red Sox fan dreams about.

 

[ronwm]

When my wife and I have flipped over to the Sox games, bad things have happened. So we just keep updated via online score.

A very dear friend of ours who is a huge Sox fan did the same for us the year the Bruins won the cup, so I'm returning the favor.

Sure...it's superstitious bunk, but I'm not going to tempt fate and suffer her wrath....

 

[TCL40]

So this non baseball fan who isn't really following wants to know if the Sox are ahead in the series and if they have a good pitcher for game 6? Just humor me.

I will happily be watching hockey (well tomorrow the kids will take over. The TV at 10 for American Horror story so I will miss the end of the hockey game). Like I said I seem to bring bad luck if I watch the Sox so will follow online.

 

[BudMovin*]

It's been awhile since the Sox clinched in Boston. I'm a hockey guy first, but it's a much bigger deal than a regular season Bruins game.

 

[northeastern]

gotta pull hard for the sox. will watch mostly b's though..

getting to the game on thursday if there is a game 7 will SUCK. not to mention trying to leave after.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

When the Bruins were in the playoffs last spring I didn't watch one second of baseball. Tonight my TV will be stuck on channel 25.

 

[TD Charlie]

Strictly Bruins tonight. Might check on the score of the Sox game during intermissions, but chances are I will be taking the dog out or getting lunch sorted out for Thursday. Once the Bruins game is over and done with, I will likely check in on the Sox game if there isn't anything else to watch.

Weird. I had you pegged as a Say Yes to the Dress guy...

 

[zenfin]

I won't be watching either considering cable prices have gone so through the roof that it is not worth paying just for one channel. How I miss the old channel 38 days

I know the Sox are on Fox 25, but I would much rather watch grass grow than a boring baseball game.

 

[disfigured]

Both. I record both.

Since that ties up the two live feeds in my living room DVR, I'll watch something recorded on the DVR itself for approximately 1 - 1.5 hours. Or noodle online for that time period (avoiding sports websites).

Then I watch the B's. With the time saved fast-forwarding every commercial and intermission between periods, I nearly catch up with live play. Which is before the Sox's have ended.

Then I do the same with the Sox. Baseball has even more dead air than hockey (between innings, switching pitchers, 7th stretch blah blah), that I only stay up slightly later than if I had watched the game live from the beginning. Sometimes I even catch up to live play on the ball game too (especially these long WS games).

I have the same set up running in the bedroom in case I get tired. Sometimes I'll finish a game (usually another hockey game) in bed. I've finished conflicting sports programs the next morning with coffee before I put on TV or DandC.

I'm seriously thinking of switching to the Hopper which has even more feeds and recording options. I'm not crazy about their compressed signal on my TVs though.

 

[Bmessy]

Any suggestions for a reliable stream of the Bruins game?

 

[Boston BROin]

Sox on the TV and Bruins on the laptop. Can't do it any other way since I've moved.

Maybe I'll head out to the bar to watch the Sox, haven't decided yet. Hmmmm.

X1 with Comcast can record and watch a ton of stuff simultaneously. As much as I hate it overall, it is nice not having to worry how many episodes of Sister Wives my wife is recording.

I know exactly the predicament you're in though, and it can be very tricky to navigate. You really have to be careful when you're using the remote, so as to not hit the wrong button. I can usually get through a full Bruins game in about an hour and 20 minutes.

 

[PlayMakers]

All B's.

 

[Looch]

Unless they show clips of the B's on the centerfield scoreboard, all sox. Hoping to see the WS trophy hoisted. And hoping the few delinquent morons of Boston don't lose their minds tonight. Other than that, I'm looking forward to loooong night at the Fens!

 

[KnightofBoston]

Both, and all bruins, its not like DVR hasnt been invented yet and baseball games take an eternity

 

[Pie O My]

it'll be interesting to see how the Celts react in their opening game with a new coach and Sullinger out for a suspension.



i keed, i keed.

I forgot all about them! Damn! That just screwed everything up for me.

Celtics? Never heard of em.
