6/28 UPDATE
This project started as an attempt to port the Boxee app, but evolved into a new, native addon by divingmule based on mlbviewer. If you've come here because you want to watch baseball on XBMC, visit the MLBMC addon release thread here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=104391
The rest of this post remains for historical purposes, or in case anyone feels like continuing the task of porting the Boxee app. The discussion in this thread shifts to divingmule's addon beginning just before page 5.
OUTDATED INFO BELOW
========================================================
Going out on a limb, here. Thanks to the excellent work of bartsidee, XBMC now has an mc module that greatly facilitates running Boxee apps in XBMC. So I've started trying to port the MLB.TV app to XBMC.
The result is a video plugin that loads, but doesn't actually work (yet). I need some experienced plugin developers to take a look at this and tell me whether this project has any hope of success. I'm not a developer, just a fan, so I may already be in over my head. If you could take a look and reply with your thoughts, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Now on GitHub:

What Works:
- Plugin loads
- Aesthetic elements all appear to be visible, buttons mostly work
What Doesn't:
- Everything else
TODO:
- Get schedule, calendar, and standings to populate with content (see this post for details)
- Move settings (i.e. username/password) to XBMC database instead of Boxee servers
