Is The Blue Screen Of Death A Ground Rule Double?

Well, this is just kinda, um, retarded. I feel bad for the players that are being subjected to such a blatantly obnoxious publicity stunt. To have what you do for a living belittled in this sort of manner is just kinda wrong, and I love the video games.
The first two innings of the July 16th game between the Kansas City T-Bones and the Schaumburg Flyers will be played virtually.
Equipped with Microsoft Xbox game controllers instead of baseball gloves and bats, two video gamers will climb into recliner chairs around home plate at CommunityAmerica Ballpark and slug it out on the park’s 16- by 24-foot video screen.
Their scores from playing two innings of MVP Baseball 2005 on an Xbox will stand when the T-Bones and Flyers take the field to finish the last seven innings of the game.

Xboxes don’t have BSODs, and you mean Automatic Double not Ground Rule Double.

I wasn’t aware that they’d fixed the XBox so it couldn’t have a BSOD anymore. I know that as of the beginning of the year, it was still happening.
And, yeah, I meant ground rule double. Like when the ball gets stuck in fencing, or bounces over the walls in the outfield, etc.
