Baseball's about to start -- check out SportsTap

Sunday, March 30, 2008 -- 2:57 p.m. -- at my desk

SportstapIt's a busy time in American sports ... opening day for baseball is Monday, NASCAR and the NHL are in full swing ... and of course there's March Madness.

And obviously, we need our score fix no matter where we are.

Lluckily, those of us with iPhones and Internet capable phones in general can go to espn.com and cbssportsline.com among others.

But we also have a great resource and that's SportsTap at sportstap.mobi.

Here, you can keep up with a number of sports ... including baseball, hockey, NASCAR, basketball and even golf.

The information on the site updates each minute -- and I can attest that it does just that for NASCAR at least -- and it works pretty fast over EDGE and Wi-Fi.

If you want a more personalized experience, you can pay $1.99 a month and customize what you follow. You can sign up at the site and get 7 days free to decide if it's right for you.

I'll really put it through its paces tomorrow when all kinds of baseball games are going on. ... but so far I am quite excited and intrigued with what I see here.

And of course, because it's Safari-based, there's no jailbreaking or anything else that you need to do. Just bookmark the site and you are all set.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks for calling.

wil you still posting some of your favorite
iPhone friendly sites?

SCOTT'S REPLY: You mean my general favorites or a specific topic? I'm happy to do either.

Thanks for this find Scott. I like the idea of it having NASCAR and AFL. Looks like it will be replacing StreamingScores.com.

SCOTT'S REPLY: Sure, Zenus. As a NASCAR fan, I was happy to find this.

As more of an NCAA basketball fan (how 'bout them Heels!), I'm a big fan of SportsTap. My only complaint is the lame logo that they put on the home screen of my iPhone. The other "logos" for the different sports are cool; I wish they would spice up the main one that they are using.

SCOTT'S REPLY: Well, I'd recommend sending an e-mail to them -- that's probably something very easy for them to do when you think about it - especially since the other logos are well done.

I've been using SportsTap for months on my iPhone- it is by far my favorite sport site. They did a great job on it. It even loads quickly on Edge.

SCOTT'S REPLY: I agree, Dave. Only been using it for a short time now, but I really like it.
