<!-- 
if (document.location.href.indexOf("mlb.com") > -1) { document.domain = "mlb.com";}
window.opener.location.href='http://start.real.com/rd?pid=mlb_lg&url=play_live.smil?game=livegroup01/live/st_031303_bosnya_tv_live.rm&site=mlb&src=CNTnull&dnc=200303140136-mlb_lg-015bbf63e4e49b9583a0421a081d0332-123';

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.login to mlb.com to watch game broadcast
2. click link to game
3. a window flashes, but no game

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
real file downloaded to be viewed in realplayer

Manually entering the URL for the real file does enable me to watch.
As you can see on Mozilla's JavaScript Console, that HTML fragment has problems.
First, window.opener is undefined. Second, the page may not close windows that
weren't opened by script.
