Dylan Bundy, the #4 pick in last year's draft has now pitched 3 games. (9 innings total) - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:47 6
- I think that walk didn't come until the next to the last batter in the third game. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 21, 09:20
- means nothing imo. -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 21, 09:08 2
  - Kids that age aren't supposed to be untouchable with that repetoire and control. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 09:51 1
    - Are they supposed to be able to throw 97? - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 21, 10:09
- So he's pitching as a reliever? Or they just have him on a really strict pitch count? - Subversive Apr 21, 07:51 1
  - Strict innings limit and they want him to pitch for 5+ months instead of being shut down after like 100 innings in July. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 08:01

- Way to take the high road, New York Post! -- nm - Subversive Apr 21, 07:15 4
  - A: It's the NY Post they don't know of this high road that you speak of. B. It's the Yanks/Sox, there's nothing wrong with taking a shot at a rival. - Krusty Apr 21, 07:47 3
    - I hate both teams, so there! - Subversive Apr 21, 07:49 2
      - Heh. :-) It is. It's the Fox News of NY papers, literally. They're a Murdoch owned paper and the worst of the local papers. - Krusty Apr 21, 07:54 1

Are whole coffee beans cheaper or more expensive than ground? - Subversive Apr 21, 06:49 6
- about the same, whole bean buyers tend to be pickier. instead of a larger maker, buy two regular ones - zeitgeist Apr 21, 10:34
- If you're used to grind and brew don't even consider going back. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 06:53 3
  - Hmmm, ok. I just wish I could get a 14 cup grind and brew. The biggest I've seen is a 12. - Subversive Apr 21, 06:56 2
    - That's what she said, that's what she said!!! - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 07:12 1
      - LOL @ IM - when can I reach the quantity AND quality stage CT? Huh? :) -- nm - JenBro Apr 21, 09:58
- More. The coffee is better and fresher, though. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 06:52
Yeah, that Fringe episode was weird. I wonder it'll be referenced later? -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 21, 06:47 3
- I don;t think it has to be. Just shows us, for sure, the Observers are dicks. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 21, 07:59
- Apparently there's a tradition to make the 19th episode of the year weird and disconnected from the rest. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 06:48 1
  - ah. thanks. - Mel Profit Apr 21, 07:03
It being a very small portion of the game, it's not quite a fair call but I don't think Diablo 3 is all that awesomesauce. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 06:31 7
- Played the previous games? -- nm - Tim Apr 21, 06:35 6
  - You better be glad there are no more Qale Points, Mister! -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 06:42 5
    - No more Qale points?! -- nm - Subversive Apr 21, 06:49 4
      - Nope. I posted the tallies and apparently the system was compromised by Anonymous. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 06:54 3
        
        Did I have any, just out of curiosity? - Subversive Apr 21, 07:06 2
        
        You had +5. Though that points to another break-down of the system. - Qale Apr 21, 07:12 1
        
        Hee! -- nm - Subversive Apr 21, 07:13
Soccer fans: Barca / Real Madrid matchup starts @ 2pm Eastern -- nm - budice on fire Apr 21, 05:53
I went with my wife and daughter to see Lockout last night. I was like "what is Lockout?" I now wish they hadn't heard of it either. F+ - JaxSean Apr 21, 04:47 2
- Lockout looks like a Fat Guy kind of flick through and through. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 06:34
- Thought the open of the movie was interesting way to start, and worth a laugh -- nm - budice on fire Apr 21, 05:51

Monsanto's GMO products have been banned in a couple countries and accused of causing bee deaths, Monsanto BUYS a leading bee research company -- (link) - zeitgeist Apr 21, 01:36 1
- If your products were causing an environmental problem, wouldn't you want to research it in order to reverse the problem? - Mop Apr 21, 06:51
Y'know, I enjoy writing if I'm enthused about the subject matter, but sometimes it really is like pulling teeth :/ - MojaveMeg Apr 20, 22:38 3
- that's why hillerman made the big bucks -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 20, 23:05 1
  - True, but even he seems to have run out of steam with his more recent work. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 21, 07:31
- coding can be like this, too -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 23:01
oh, so that's why they cast Michael Clarke Duncan. - Beryllium Apr 20, 22:25 1

- all right, these guys(seattle polyrythmics) are damn dancibly good, with afro influence motown tight funk - zeitgeist Apr 20, 23:39
why is it i have trouble login to ika on my droid but not tablet? - zeitgeist Apr 20, 21:13
hmm, lots of cheap camera stuff on amazon canada, makes me worry about import fees -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 21:12 11
- if it's on amazon.ca, it's already imported. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 21:13 10
  - like this -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 20, 21:16 8
    - I wouldn't. If this isn't just an example to make your point and you're really in the market for a tripod, invest in a good one. You won't regret it. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 20, 21:20 6
      - I had been considering it, but I changed my mind after posting it - I've dealt with weak-ass tripods before, they are annoying -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 21:25 5
        
        Yup. I'm also not a fan of the ones with that cross-brace between the legs. You can't fully expand it for a really low angle. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 20, 21:28 4
        
        I kinda want one I can do a DIY steadycam with -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 21:40 1
        
        iirc, you need a real fluid head, then you can attach a swivel handle on the balance point of any pod leg set -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 20, 22:05
        
        bogen 5150 you can thumb screw the cross brace and drop the the whole thing to 12 inches - zeitgeist Apr 20, 21:35 1
        
        but the point of cross bracing is a significant increase in stability, pyramid power, ideal is to have a floor brace but that is rarely practical -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 20, 21:38
    - It's still "imported". Amazon.ca doesn't sell things with duty to Canadian addresses. - Reagen Apr 20, 21:19
  - it's not coming straight from amazon.ca, it's other sellers -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 21:15
look, I forgot what it literally meant! -- nm - loosi Apr 20, 21:10 1
- So, it just wound up in a bad place. I understand. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 20, 21:26
It's hard not to hate Bery a little bit when playing WWF against him. :) -- nm - Subversive Apr 20, 21:06
OK, I'm convinced at this point that Australia has some sort of super-secret Naomi Watts cloning program going on -- (link) - Reagen Apr 20, 20:59 3
- She reminds me more of Hudson Leick. -- nm - David Apr 20, 21:00 2
  - dang, she is the same -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 20, 22:09
  - what the hell ever happened to her? -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 21:03

- Sweet, wanna date? - Subversive Apr 20, 22:51
- For me i dunno right now just feel I have too much going on in RL - eag Apr 20, 20:53 3
  - Then... don't? This place can just be lite if you want that for yourself. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 20, 21:17 2
    - Totally. Sometimes I'll barely be here for weeks at a time. - Subversive Apr 20, 22:52
    - Except this place is like an extended family - eag Apr 20, 21:26
B2 likes butt stuff. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 20, 20:43 4
- oh lordy. -- nm - loosi Apr 20, 21:09
- and didn't get Inception. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 20:46 2
  - Did you watch the Pens-Flyers tonight? That was some lights-out goaltending in the 3rd period. - Fuzzy Apr 20, 20:50 1
    - For two teams I hate, it's been an amazing series. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 20:51
