Anyone have any idea what FB-watch means?!I can not find the game in my program guide. The schedule on the Braves website says tv chanel lists FB-watch. I am home tomorrow and would love to actually be able to watch the game.

Dammit. Pretty sure that means you can only watch the game on Facebook. I have no idea if you have to have a special account or if it costs anything to watch the game.

From Braves (and Beaneaters) history...
1901 John W. Taylor goes the distance but takes the loss when the Orphans are defeated by the Beaneaters at Boston's South End Grounds. The right-hander's start begins a stunning streak of 187 consecutive complete games that ends in August of 1906 when he is relieved by another pitcher, after amassing an amazing 1,727 innings of work that includes finishing up 15 games in relief.
1912 In a slugfest, the Giants and Braves score a total of 17 runs in the ninth inning. New York scores seven runs in the top of the frame, but the Braves scored 10 runs in the bottom of the ninth to narrow the margin, 21-12.
1987 After giving up home runs to Dale Murphy and Ken Griffey, Reds starter Bill Gullickson plunks Andres Thomas in the back with a pitch in the Reds' 8-6 loss at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. The Braves' shortstop takes exception and charges the mound, precipitating a bench-clearing brawl that will result in both of the initial combatants being tossed from the game.
And from around MLB....
1925 At Forbes Field, Max Carey becomes the first switch-hitter to hit for the cycle. The Pirate outfielder's performance helps Pittsburgh to bash Brooklyn, 21-5.
1961 The voting ends in a 'world-wide election' to settle the question who is the better superstar, New York's Mickey Mantle or San Francisco's Willie Mays. The Sport magazine poll, inspired by Bill Hoebler, a young baseball fan and reader from Pittsburgh, puts the Yankee center fielder ahead of the Giants' Say Hey Kid by more than 500 votes, after the seventeen pounds of postcards from all 50 states and several countries are tallied.
1980 At Comiskey Park, Al Cowens takes a detour to the mound after hitting an infield grounder and tackles White Sox reliever Ed Farmer instead of running to first base, landing several punches before the two are separated. The Tiger right fielder, who will be suspended for seven days, was exacting revenge for being hit last season with a pitch thrown by the right-hander that fractured his jaw, causing him to miss 21 games as a member of the Royals.

I guess I will be watching the game from hubby’s Facebook account if it is free to watch. His computer is hooked up to the tv in our den.

I would love to know why my body decided I need to be awake at 8:30am on my day off. It is free to watch the game. Do a search for MLB live on Facebook to find and watch the game for free. I am going to try it since I am home today. I get to pretend to be hubby if I want to chat live during the game. He forgot his Facebook password and asked me not to log him out of his account. I can either set things up as dual screen or chat here on my phone. It looks like this is some new thing MLB is doing with one game each week,

It would be nice to be able to see the icon to make the game full screen so I can put it on the tv at the right size.
