Recently the Washington Post practically eliminated its sports department. The print paper now has no scores or standings or box scores. I thought they might keep them digitally. Not even there. Like the Maryland BB game this week had an AP story and no box.

My friend who is unsophisticated about the internet has no computer and uses his phone only for email and texts and maybe a few odds and ends.

He's a big sports fan - especially MLB - who subscribes to the Post. He's now wondering what to do.

I will show him how to get to espn.com, and today I downloaded the espn and mlb apps to my iPhone and will show him what they do. If he wants those apps, maybe he'll be ok. The apps look to be very busy, and the browser on my computer with its large screen is much better for seeing a lot of scores and busywork at once.
