Liveboard Shows Baseball Scores As They Happen

Scenario: the big game is on, but your girlfriend’s parents are coming over for dinner. They already think you’re a rude, unemployed, beer-guzzling loser, so turning on the TV (or looking at your Blackberry) every 2 minutes to see how many men are on base is not really an option. For those unfortunate sports-free times, the Liveboard could be the best way to covertly keep up on your baseball scores.

This $199 gadget uses Bluetooth to wirelessly connect to the internet, where it downloads the game’s stats and displays them on the scoreboard. You can set it to 3 different modes: “Basic mode” follows only the score of one team’s games, “full mode” displays the current game when your team of choice isn’t playing, and “cycle mode” rotates through all the teams. The best part is that this discrete little guy can sit on your bookshelf next to your picture frames without your company realizing that you’re ignoring everything they say. Buy one at their website, and see a few more pictures after the jump.
