    - God I hate you spoiled mofos. You don't know what bad baseball is. (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 10:33 2
      - You guys need to clean house. New GM, manager, outfield, infield, what a mess at new Shea. -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 10:34 1
        
        Management needs a complete overhaul. A minor tidying up of the roster would make it a contender. - zombie musubi Aug 4, 10:36
    - sure thing - Diva Aug 4, 10:32

    - *limps on way to the Irish Pub downstairs* -- nm - Diva Aug 4, 10:31
  - I love my Sox, but I'm almost hoping the Rays win the division and the Twins win the wild card - CQ Aug 4, 10:29 3
    - The Twins would need to go on a good run, they're 7.5 back of the wild card. - Krusty Aug 4, 10:33
    - You take that back right now. - TFox Aug 4, 10:30 1

- Thank jeebus he stopped pressing. (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 10:27 3
  - This home run counts extra, when you considered the insurmountable mountain of doubt and pressure he was feeling. - TFox Aug 4, 10:29 2
    - I'm kinda suprised he didn't retire after he was 0-12. Those last 5 abs were Homeric of him. (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 10:32

Hi all, I've been incommunicado for a couple weeks due to some problems. What am I behind in in Blood Feud, Ika, etc.? - crash davis Aug 4, 10:24 8
- Hey crashypoo. ReyRey and I debated the merits of graphical data presentation in re: flow chart vs Venn diagram the other day. (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 10:30 1
  - I'm hoping you took the flow chart side of the argument. Flow charts are the superior format - crash davis Aug 4, 10:32
- Nothing in Blood Feud. I'd email you directly if you were needed, I promise. -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:30 1
  - gracias -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 10:31

  - Good for them, it was on life support there a couple of years ago. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 10:31
  - At least they didn't puss out on the real finale this past season, even if it was lame. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 10:31
  - that rocks :) -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 10:30
LOST props being auctioned off...Dharma van, Locke's Wheelchair, Dharma Beer -- (link) - budice Aug 4, 10:22 1
- Come up with your own storyline that easily beats what the writers managed! -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:23
TSG: Musician Wyclef Jean, the wannabe Haitian president, owes the IRS $2.1 million in back taxes, lien records show -- (link) - budice Aug 4, 10:20 2
- Just to throw it out there: his foundation has been on IRS watch lists for years based on shady financials -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 10:28
- A good start for a Haitian presidential candidate. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 10:25

- and that's just one place. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 10:28
- blames barney frank -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 10:20
- what a complete and total waste of money. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:19
- amanda's ass alone takes up several terabytes -- nm - chuckles Aug 4, 10:17

Did the iPad preemptively kill the US tablet market like the Kindle & Nook killed other ebook readers? -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:13 5
- huh? there were ebook readers before? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 10:21 2
  - 1998, Rocketbook. Etc, etc, etc. -- (link) - mara Aug 4, 10:24
  - Sure. Sony had a couple, among others that barely anyone bought. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:22
- Do better, Tech Crunch. -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:17

Every external hard drive is catalogued now. If the dryer gets fixed, things will be looking up. -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:12 8
- How much media do you have? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 10:15 7
  - 18.5 TB. I won't know about individual file volume until extras get deleted and some files get compiled into Masters. -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:16 6
    - That's it? - Will Hunting Aug 4, 10:23 1
      - I haven't gotten it yet but I'll reply when I do. -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:30
    - No cloud storage? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:17 3
      - There obviously isn't a cloud that can hold this level of volume yet but we are converting all possible television to Unbox. -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:18 2
        
        That's a reasonable solution, but aren't you losing some substantial quality/bitrate? -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 10:26 1
        
        I'd rather have the additional storage space. I only see a diference if I put an Unbox HD file against a Blu Ray and even then, it's neglible. - David Aug 4, 10:27
I just filled out a survey for what was surely Ticketmaster. They asked if I'd be willing to pay a premium to have tickets delivered faster... - Mop Aug 4, 10:11 3

- "willing" is cute -- nm - chuckles Aug 4, 10:13 1
  - ain't it though -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 10:30

Somebody used this program on our website last night. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 10:00 1
It is also scary to think about how many homers Bonds would have hit if they did not walk him 200+ times a year. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 09:56 10
- IIRC, Bonds was smacking 50% of the pitches thrown in the strike zone and 20% of all pitches he swung at -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 10:25
- About....73 - Will Hunting Aug 4, 09:58 8
  - Bonds # of walks per year - amoxy Aug 4, 10:04
  - In 95 and 96, he averaged almost 150 walks. -- nm - Inigo Aug 4, 10:03 2
    - Yeah, his floor was much higher than anyone else's in walks. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 10:07
    - 96-97, but yeah, he always had the best eye in the game when he played. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:04
  - Not true at all. 177 walks that year. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:00 3
    - (Which broke Ruth's single season record; though he topped it twice after that.) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:01
    - At some point...when the guy is hitting 40 homers before the All-Star game, pitchers adjust - Will Hunting Aug 4, 10:01 1
      - *shrug* Other than April, his monthly totals were pretty consistent that year, fwiw. -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 4, 10:03
Anyone played Red Dead Redemption yet? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 09:45 10
- i bought it but it's still in plastic....nm - xi Aug 4, 09:50 1
  - Laura Palmer: The Game -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 10:21
- yes, finished it. -- nm - decline Aug 4, 09:47
- yes, still working on it. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 09:46
- Yeah, finished it. -- nm - Ender Aug 4, 09:46 5
  - How was it? - Strongbad Aug 4, 09:47 4
    - I never cared for GTA, but I do like RDR. - groiny Aug 4, 09:49 2
      - Cool. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 09:50
      - yeah, I found I liked it better than GTA - not as good as Fallout 3 though. -- nm - decline Aug 4, 09:49
    - I really liked it. Some complained the pace was too slow, but it was good enough to get me to finish the game, which is a pretty rare thing. -- nm - Ender Aug 4, 09:48
Jim you still here? -- (link) - Beaker Aug 4, 09:45 [Backboard] 1

Did anyone see any auroras last night? -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 09:43 3
- Four. - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 10:24
- no, just our usual foggy smoggy haze at night -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 10:22
- No, but I met a Tiffany and got them digits -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 10:01
One thing I don't miss about Columbus is the traffic. - TWuG Aug 4, 09:40 1
- Covington Cat, if you are going to the fair tomorrow, I may be there as welll - TWuG Aug 4, 09:47
Have we seen sh*tmykidsruined.com? -- (link) - Mop Aug 4, 09:39 1
- Yup. I'm just wondering when I'll be sending in my first pic. - Dr.Vermin Aug 4, 10:05
first android app should be the Favrewatch Retirement Countdown - chuckles Aug 4, 09:38 1
- yes. it can just re-set itself every august....nm - xi Aug 4, 09:40
andie, a question... - zork Aug 4, 09:36 2

  - not the receipt number but ... - zork Aug 4, 09:56
Corning ups investment in Gorilla Glass, considers moving into the HDTV screen market. No duh! -- (link) - Mop Aug 4, 09:36
I love Jemele Hill - Will Hunting Aug 4, 09:35 3
- She's useless, just like most of ESPN these days. - Strongbad Aug 4, 09:37 2
  - unless, of course you're disney and their division just keep the cash rolling right in....nm - xi Aug 4, 09:38 1
    - Exactly, I mean we could've been stuck with CNNSI. -- nm - budice Aug 4, 09:40
the part of the roid debate that always amuses me.... - groiny Aug 4, 09:34 28
- The funniest part to me is the outrage when MLB players are busted, while NFL players continue getting suspensions and most people don't care -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 09:40 5
  - But, baseball is Amurrica's game! -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 10:09
  - No doubt. NFL players seem to get overlooked in this area. Not sure why. -- nm - Inigo Aug 4, 09:50 1
    - because of the stats. - groiny Aug 4, 09:53
  - agreed....nm - xi Aug 4, 09:46
  - well, yeah, the double standard is staggering. Merriman misses 25% of his teams season - groiny Aug 4, 09:41
- If you add in all illegal substances, I totally disagree on McGwire being a HOFer. - Inigo Aug 4, 09:39 7
  - maybe he would've, maybe he would have stayed more limber and not had the back issues. It's still supposition. - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:41 6
    - He was pretty open, at the time, that Andro was a big reason why he could continue playing through his back issues. -- nm - Inigo Aug 4, 09:44 4
      - right, the Andro that was not a banned substance at the time? - groiny Aug 4, 09:45 3
        
        That's the one he could admit to. As we know now, he was talking a multitude of illegal drugs. -- nm - Inigo Aug 4, 09:48 2
        
        certainly, that is not debateable. - groiny Aug 4, 09:50 1
        
        I'm not trying to harsh on McGwire. - Inigo Aug 4, 09:58
    - roids sure can contribute to longevity going in both directions. - groiny Aug 4, 09:44
- Those no-name clowns woulda been very poor no-name clowns without it - Will Hunting Aug 4, 09:38 13
  - The whole sport is to blame. The owners took the gate reciepts the attention drew. - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:40
  - nobody is pissed off about the utility infielder. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 09:38 11
    - People are pissed off at it in general, they point ot the highest profile person, but let's be honest, they helped who took. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 09:42 8
      - They probably benefitted, but the point is: So? - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:46 4
        
        the ends justify the means?....nm - xi Aug 4, 09:51 3
        
        Not really. But so long as it wasn't against the rules.... - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:57
        
        happens in every sport. - groiny Aug 4, 09:53 1
        
        sure. but baseball got what it wanted out of having no testing, so their ends mostly justify their means as well... - xi Aug 4, 09:59
      - Yeah! -- nm - Brady Anderson Aug 4, 09:43 2
        
        Not much for reading my posts, are we? - Will Hunting Aug 4, 09:43 1
        
        Heh, I read the reply before that. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 09:45
    - Because noone cares about the utility infielder in general. -- nm - TWuG Aug 4, 09:41 1
      - right. The guys who sell the jerseys are the ones who get pinched - groiny Aug 4, 09:42
Casey Affleck is filming a documentary about Brett Favre retirement. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 09:34 3
- that junior suite at MGM for $ 99 a night looks amazing! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 09:42 1
  - $79. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 10:18
- Brett files a sexual harrassment suit and then dismisses it - refiles. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 09:41
Apparently, the Prop 8 ruling is due today, and "supporters" (ie. gay marriage opponents) are ready to appeal and stay the ruling. -- (link) - Mop Aug 4, 09:33 3
- but we have to protect our children -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 10:28
- they'd be fools if they weren't ready to appeal...nm - xi Aug 4, 09:36
