Randi,

File Under: For what it's worth.

I can't remember what it was you wanted to do exactly regarding MLB...just
get the current scores during a game?

I had this need last night and Googled "scores red sox" and it came back
with the current box score and general info about the current Red Sox game -
right there as the first entry at the top of the screen. I ran the same
search this morning and the box scores are not there but instead there is a
link to the team's website. However, in the description, Google shows the
last game's final score and when and where the next game is to be played.
Apparently the live box scores only appear when the game is in progress.
BTW, I used this on my iPod using the "mobile" version of Google and it
looked very accessible.

So if you are looking for just a quick update on scores, you may want to
simply check Google.
