I wanted to put a link to Marlon Andersons inside the park home run on saturday here, but mlb.com is so useless and broken I gave up in frustration.

Dear mlb.com for the following reasons, you suck:

1. Is it impossible to provide a sinle link to display a video? Maybe you don't want people linking directly to the video, that's cool I understand. But is it absolutly necessary to force all your video watching through popups? I wanted to link to your page, send you traffic and do some of your marketing for you. But I can't. I'm not going to tell people Click this link, then select video highlights, then Marlon Andersons (it's the third one down on the tiny window next to the video, above the scroll).

2. Never ever put audio on your main page. Ever. A few seconds after the page loaded (more on that in 3) the audio for the days highlights kicked in. As much as I like crummy highlight music, if I have the speakers turned on low to listen to something I actually enjoy I really don't want to hear the damned announcers screaming at me all of a sudden without warning. I especially don't want to hear it at top volume. If you're going to insist on making me listen to that crap could you at least not f*****g blast it at me? Appreciate that!

3. So what is the record for most irritating flash items on a single screen? You guys have it right? Because the front page is a scrolling, blinking, flashing monstrosity.

I usually avoid MLB except to listen to games, because it seems specifically designed to be impossible to use. Apparently espn.com and mlb.com are each trying to outdo each other in seeing what users will put up with for their content. You guys win! I'll use yahoo, I'm sorry.
