    when they say ever single game do they mean 162 games or do they mean all 2,430 games. it's gotta be 162 right? right? i guess it can't be all 2430, that'd be about 40 of baseball every day, unless they are giving you multiple tv's. i'd be ready to puke at the end of the stretch.

    i could do 162 games, as long as it's not the pirates.

    lol it sounds like some kind of punishment.

    I could see myself on August 23rd, in a dark messy living room with a full beard and shoulder length hair, watching the Royals and A's, bloodshot eyes passing out with a burned out cigarette in one hand

    Sounds like they expect you to watch every game every day, don't know how its possible...even with 15 TV's you're gonna miss stuff.
    I imagine you're also required to eat a strict diet of hot dogs, peanuts and nachos, washed down with overpriced draft beer and soda.

    Hmm, it's gotta be 162 games for a team of their choosing. Yeah, congrats! You get to spend the next 8 months in sunny Pittsburgh or KC watching games with 104 of your closest friends!

    This job would be pretty awesome if they sent you to sunny San Diego, LA or Miami.

    You to significant other: "Honey, I'm going down to Miami for the next 8 months to watch baseball."
    SO: "Don't come back. We're through."

    it's in NY. I'm guessing the person is going to either live in Citi field or Yankee Stadium and have to watch all games via televisions as well watch the mets or yankee's game from a special spot.

    just my guess

    It says you must reside in NYC at a place of their choosing.
    I think they want you to sit and try and watch 15 games a day on multiple TV's.

    not really...i bet you don't get to leave the stadium much with all the blogging and game watching. on days with day games, you could be watching ball from 1pm to 1am to get the west coast games in. toss in the odd 11am start and it could be 14 hours of baseball a day. add on blogging, video blogging, you are going to do nothing but eat, sleep and breath baseball. your only break will be the all star break.

    really? even it paid a cool mil?

    not that i think it will pay that much. i'd guess 100K. i'm also betting they hire somebody fairly fresh out of school.

    I'm just trying to bait a response from the neilybabes and BinauralJams of the world. I'd do unspeakable acts for a cool mil to watch baseball. Who am I kidding?

    that's insane. 7 days a week every week except all-star break and as someone said like 12-14 hours a day. no fn way. plus i am assuming it will be some kind of apartment so you will get almost no exercise or fresh air. that's disasterous. i'm pretty sure i'd be in the clock tower picking people off by end of the season

    Seriously. I'll have trouble watching every Phils game, even with 4 awesome pitchers.

    Sometimes there are 8 or 9 games going on at once - tough duty.

    Let me repeat. The person will be required to watch Every. Single. Game. including the All-Star game and playoff games. That is as many as 2,472 games over the course of seven months if each of the postseason series goes the distance.

    With as many as 15 games and 45 hours of action each day, there would have to be some overlap. Jeff Heckelman of Major League Baseball said this won't be a problem.

    "We’re still working out the details of the setting in which the person will hang out," said Heckelman. "But suffice it to say it will be a setting conducive to watching multiple games simultaneously."

    seriously after about the 3rd Pirates-Nats game you would want to shoot yourself. no way i see someone pulling this off.

    I will say this: with the depth of knowledge and analysis you guys get into over on the Phillies thread, I figured you guys already did this job for fun.

    If I knew what it paid and it was a pretty decent amount, and there were future employment possible... I would apply.

    It would be tough to justify leaving my job though for a temporary 'intern-like' position watching 14 hours of baseball per day

    That would be the same as being a security guard who watches monitors all day. Perhaps the security guard would at least get to collar a few people, etc.

    I would be tempted to take naps, and base my blogs on box scores and other blogs!

    I don't have any trouble watching the Phils games, but as a woman, I don't get into the technical details that you guys tend to get into. I'll voice my opinion on something, but I don't go crazy :lol:

    and I'm not a stats gal, I read the stats, but I don't memorize them from year to year :lol: I have a general idea, but don't quote me on anything

    one of my favorite things is reading the box scores in the morning. Always has been.

    I would love a job like that. If forced to watch that many games I would definitely be betting on them too, which would make it even better.
