  - That 3 TB Hard Drive towards the bottom of the page is pretty cool. -- nm - Strongbad May 8, 09:10
krusty, while I agree pitchers suspensions are a joke, I am not sure I can agree that Hamels deserves that many. - groiny May 8, 09:06 49
- The hazing mentality is bush league and has no place in adult society. Whatever they need to do to drill it out of the game (all games) is fine by me. -- nm - Reagen May 8, 09:35 3
  - [deleted]
  - I woudl not exactly call this hazing though. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:36
  - [deleted]
- [deleted] 14
  - well, he did blow a kiss at a pitcher after a HR in the minors. - groiny May 8, 09:14 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - I do not know Hamels reason for doing it, only he does. - groiny May 8, 09:16 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I am saying, it could be anything, not sure it makes any difference through. - groiny May 8, 09:18
        
        there was some talk about Harper acting cocky before the game. He was also crowding the plate. - decline May 8, 09:18
  - Hazing. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 09:13 7
    - Like he said, no reason. -- nm - David May 8, 09:45
    - Haze him but stealing his clothes or tying him naked outside the park to a pole. Don't risk his or anyone's career but throwing - Krusty May 8, 09:16 5
      - stop, he hit him in the lower back. No one ever went to the DL after getting hit in the ass. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:19 4
        
        We see it very differently. What he did was dangerous, uncalled for and stupid and has no place in the game. -- nm - Krusty May 8, 09:21 3
        
        major league pitchers can throw a ball into a teacup if they want to. - groiny May 8, 09:22 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I am not saying he is right. - groiny May 8, 09:24
- He didn't hurt him this time. We shouldn't wait for it to be a pitch that does hit someone in the head. - Krusty May 8, 09:11 18
  - batters are gonna get drilled, it happens all the time. - groiny May 8, 09:12 4
    - That suspension is a joke and the reason for my post. He should be benched for three starts. That's a real punishment. - Krusty May 8, 09:18 3
      - [deleted]
      - I agree in part with your comments. But in all cases, not just Hamels. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:20 1
        
        I don't think it should only be Hamels. Anyone believed to have thrown at someone on purpose should be suspended for three starts. - Krusty May 8, 09:22
  - the only reason he got suspended at all was cause he opened his mouth. Pitches get away all the time, should every hit batter equal a suspension? -- nm - Beaker May 8, 09:12 11
    - No, they're not all equal. When it's clear, like the idiot admitting he did it on purpose, there should be a long term suspension. - Krusty May 8, 09:15 2
      - A longer suspension will only hurt the team - not Hamels. He still gets paid - decline May 8, 09:17 1
        
        Right. And the team will be sure to tell their pitchers not to do it if they're going to lose them for three starts. -- nm - Krusty May 8, 09:19
    - [deleted] 7
      - as would the pitcher who hit Hamels after he hit Harper. - groiny May 8, 09:15 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        right, but he did not. - groiny May 8, 09:17 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        if it were fair, they both would have equal punishment. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:21 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I am not sure what you are arguing, as I said he should be punished? nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:28
  - [deleted]
- plus Harper got some of his own back later that inning as it was. -- nm - znufrii May 8, 09:08 10
  - yeah,. both players handled it the right way. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:09 9
    - I didn't really see the point of Hamels coming out and admitting it was intentional after the fact - znufrii May 8, 09:12 5
      - and why is Zimmerman not getting suspended as well? nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:13 4
        
        *shrug* - znufrii May 8, 09:14
        
        Becuase he was smart enough not to say anything at all. - Will Hunting May 8, 09:13 2
        
        and Zimmerman retaliated, which is obviously payback. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:14 1
        
        yup, can't do one without the other -- nm - Beaker May 8, 09:24
    - except Hamels should have kept his damn mouth shut aferwards -- nm - decline May 8, 09:10 2
      - I disagree. I admire his honesty. - Iron Spawn May 8, 09:12 1
        
        refreshing in its own way, but I wouldn't want it to become a trend. -- nm - znufrii May 8, 09:16
MDH, could you send that HTTYD info? - prayformojo May 8, 09:05 2
- nmbPFM - Epiphany May 8, 09:06 1
  - okey doke - prayformojo May 8, 09:17
Woot's got the Silicon Dust HDHR3-US dual HD tuner for $69.99 + $5 shipping. -- (link) - Mop (199 lbs) May 8, 09:05 4
- Is it just an external tuner for a pc? -- nm - spamlet May 8, 09:26 1
  - Networked tuner. You connect it to your router and access it from your HTPC over ethernet. - Mop (199 lbs) May 8, 09:30
- its about a $30 discount. just not sure if i need one or not. -- nm - tRuMaN (sarcastically stoic) May 8, 09:05 1
  - I actually had a pending order at Amazon Marketplace for one (my second). Cancelled and order this -- nm - oblique May 8, 09:32
So here's The Voice songs current rankings in the iTunes Top 100. - Dano May 8, 09:04 8
- Where would I find video of 99 Problems and How You Like Me NOw? -- nm - David May 8, 09:48 3
  - Youtube - Will Hunting May 8, 09:54 2
    - Hmm, I googled and received no YouTube results. -- nm - David May 8, 09:54 1
      - I dunno if Google's deal is, but I headed right to youtube direct. - Will Hunting May 8, 09:59
- I was sure that Lucca and Mann would be neck-and-neck. At this point, it looks like Lucca is a shoe-in. - Mop (199 lbs) May 8, 09:06 3
  - From what I vaguely remember last night, the iTunes isn't a valid vote.... - Will Hunting May 8, 09:09 2
    - I suspect you're right in the sense that buying a song is not equal to a vote, but it's a current reflection of popularity. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) May 8, 09:12
    - Also Dano, then you also have not only the Jesse/other guy contest...Chris Mann arguably got beat in his head to head. - Will Hunting May 8, 09:10
oh Mo Mo ba ba ba ooohhh mo mo -- nm - JenBro May 8, 09:03
