    Smoltz to Red Sox

    I can certainly understand the fans being angry at the team, but from what I've heard, the team never really made a serious play for him, and if that is indeed the case, I can't see how he did anything wrong. :dunno:

    Splinter Cell

    Yeah, that seemed to be the predominant problem I've heard. I personally enjoyed the game beginning to end, I guess I just dig how they set it up, but I really would love to see a Splinter Cell game soon.

    Bingo. Any software you buy will surely use some sort of proxy protocol to "disguise" your IP address.

    How would you react...

    I think how a person would react depends rather wholeheartedly on how they view the people who work in the industry. If you are a person who views them as sexual deviants, objects etc... I would assume you would not approve of a ******** participating. If you see them as workers performing the...

    What computer/s do you use?

    Unfortunately for my wife, no I'm not joking (she wants to convert the shed into a guest house). If I were to guess how many working machines I have, I'd peg it somewhere around 50, but there are only about 10 actually hooked up. They range from an old Apple II that I keep for nostalgia, to...

    Absolutely! I just loved how Harold was actually well spoken and was extremely eloquent when he talked about the game. Joe Morgan reminds me of a ******* 50 year old, rambling about how great he used to be, he absolutely drives me insane. Peter Gammons just plain knows his stuff, if I ever...

    What computer/s do you use?

    Should I location myself back to China?

    That sounds suspiciously like discrimination to me. If this is still going on, there are legal penalties for this kind of rediculous behavior at work. Perhaps you should look into other jobs close by?

    He started off really slowly last year, then got demoted to AAA, then was injured for a month with a leg injury, then came back, starting hitting again, and promptly suffered a concussion, which was misdiagnosed as an inner ear infection, then finally at the end of August got to play again, and...

    Smoltz to Red Sox

    Glavine is a Free Agent, and now is talking like he's ready to possibly sign with someone else. I love Huddy, but he just had Tommy John, and probably won't be available until mid-summer. Frank Wren might just have to call up Kevin Towers again and see what it takes to get Peavy.

    Barton was never really thought of as any sort of power man. He's a high average, high OBP type of hitter. I just hope he does prove himself, because I've seen him play, and to me he is every bit the prospect that he's been made out to be. Giambi can still hit, but I'm not sold on him coming...

    I'm with you here, this was a pretty bad signing. He had a year of OPS+ that was over 100 points higher than his career average. His wOBP was almost 200 points higher than his career average. He's not stealing, is a league average baserunner, and the only position he's a plus defender at is...

    Goodbye Sony PSP!

    The PSP may not be dead, but it being overwhelmingly outsold by the DS, especially in North America. The article you've cited is for a single month, and while it has some credibility, it fails to address the larger pattern. You're right, and it already has, and I think that's mostly due to...

    New Call of Duty: World at War

    I like this game, it is fun, but the one thing I don't like is something I have been worried about since I heard the announcement of the game: it's basically Call of Duty 4 ported to WWII. The game is fun, but the problem for me is that the game, even the whole engine was built to cater to a...

    Splinter Cell

    You know, this is something I've been wondering about for a while now. All of the information I've heard of has indicated that the game won't be out for a while, the game was essentially supposed to be a sandbox game, which Ubisoft created with Assassin's Creed.

    If Colletti has any remnants of a brain in his head he'll hang on to Kemp. As for Furcal (or Fuckall as I've heard him referred to many times now), I **** to bash him, but he was stupid as hell to let his agent deal with all the teams the way that he did. Oh well, maybe Kinzer will finally learn.

    Randy Johnson, a new Giants

    He's not a bad signing right now, actually. He's about a major league average pitcher, but adjusting his value to the NL puts him a couple of runs above average, which for someone at his age is good. But there lies the problem, he's 45, and health is a big if.

    I've had to deal with the exploit issues far more than I care to think about in my last job.

    The Angels are not as good as they played this season. They had so many things go right at the same time that it just doesn't make any sense for it to carry over. The improvement in their starting pitching was an anomaly. You look down the list of Lackey, Santana, Saunders, Weaver, and...
