Comcast lost its Cubs feed today with one out in the ninth and the tying run on first.
I had Gameday running and was listening to the radio broadcast as well, so I was able to follow along, but it must have been frustrating for those who weren't. The telecast didn't resume until the game was over a couple minutes later, so they went straight to the postgame. The culprit was announced as a power outage at Wrigley Field.
I noticed earlier in the game that the duck-sponsored trivia question about the recently-mentioned Willie Smith was cut off on the left side of the screen. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for widescreen and HD, but they need to keep in mind it's nowhere near universal yet. I don't need reminders that I have a cheap TV.
More to come, just a quick comment...

Gameday rocks! Nothing like that anticipation when you see "Ball in play--Run-scoring play"
I dig having live in-game stats, ball locations for both pitches and hits, and a pitch-by-pitch account of the action. I think my jaw dropped the first time I clicked on it. They could pick up a couple of tips from ESPN's version, but I like MLB's a lot better.
The only info I'd add would be MPH and pitch selection. Graphically they could add a couple of buttons like pitcher-view options and a live scorecard, but that's about it.
