    I'm going to close this up as the subject matter would seem to be in-game thread material.

    As TooLive said, I'm sure that DS didn't mean any offense. While I can possibly see a wee bit of relevance, I can't see where continuing down that road would be productive. It's been mentioned; now it's best to leave it alone.

    This totally crosses the line into an ad hominem attack. I'd suggest reviewing Brewerfan's Fan Forum Etiquette, particularly: Condescending talk toward other posters (including but not limited to name-calling, baiting and flaming) is not allowed. Other Brewers-related message boards are more tolerant of "talking smack" to other users, and we suggest you go there if that's what you're about. and If you want to respond to multiple messages in a thread, try to do it with a single post, rather than a bunch of consecutive posts. The latter gives the impression you haven't read the earlier posts. and Quoting multi-paragraph blocks of a message previously posted in a thread is not reader-friendly. Neither is quoting a string of a multiple nested replies. Please see "Quoting messages: please be brief" for more detail. If you think in terms of the [abbr=Fan Forum Etiquette]FFE[/abbr] items mentioned directly above, your posts will come off as a lot less confrontational.

    I recall reading that one of the reasons why we'd see people light up and have a cigarette in movies and on TV was that it was a simple way to have the actor/character occupied with something vs. just standing there and doing nothing while delivering dialog. It might be the same thing with throwing some ice in a glass and pouring some booze over it.

    Here's the whole paragraph. Sizing up the MVP races: Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki, Angels' Mike Trout emerge as early leaders

    Players can be outrighted once without having to pass through waivers, but given the unusual situation involving Wang's voided contract, I don't know if that applies or not.

    I haven't noticed slowness. Has anyone else?

    I'm running a MacBook Pro that'll be six years old in November. I doubt that I'll need to replace it until Apple stops making operating systems for it. That could happen this year, or it might not happen for a while. Once it doesn't run the newest OS, I figure it'll be good for up to two more years. Currently, with the latest OS and the addition of an SSD, it runs noticeably faster than it did when I bought it. I'd strongly suggest AppleCare on a Mac or any other Apple product simply because of the value it adds, but I'd question buying extended warranties on other products. On Macs, you have a year to decide to buy AppleCare. On iPhones and iPads, you have a month, but because AppleCare includes accidental damage protection on those devices, they require an inspection if you don't purchase the warranty immediately. By the way, discounted 2013 MacBook Airs are popping up. The only difference between last year's models and this year's is 100Mhz of processor speed, meaning that last year's models would be a good choice at the right price. Had there been significant upgrades (e.g. battery, graphics, or speed), it probably would have made sense to go with the newer model vs. a discount. That was the scenario last year, and I think it could be the scenario the next time Intel upgrades its processors.

    Based on Madison's requirements (post 3) and Whitewater's requirements, it appears that Mac vs. PC is very much the choice of the student in most courses of study. Departmental requirements should be checked, though. For what it's worth, Madison states that about 50% of its students use Macs.

    The main site is back.

    Apple released new MacBook Airs today. They have a slight processor bump that's basically inconsequential. The big news is that there's a $100 decrease in price. The entry level 11 inch model is now $899, and the entry level 13 inch model is now $999. Entry level models come with 128GB of solid state storage and 4GB of RAM. Doubling storage to 256GB adds $200, and doubling RAM to 8GB adds $100. As Adam says, RAM isn't user-upgradeable, so if you need more than 4GB, that decision has to be made when the computer is purchased. Storage can be upgraded with third party options, but there'd be likely be warranty issues if you try to do it yourself. By the time you pay a certified technician to upgrade storage, it probably makes sense to buy it when ordering the computer. Major processor upgrades will likely come late in the year when Intel releases its next generation of chips. That's too late for this year's college students, but it might be something to consider if you're not in a hurry to buy.

    It might be another story three or four weeks from now, but at this point, it's too early to get flipped out. In an interview a few days ago, Roenicke said that Wang was the long man. Obviously, we haven't seen long man situations. As far as his development, there's still plenty of time to get him his requisite innings. If the bullpen is suffering from any degree of overwork, it would seem to be because the Brewers are frequently using the combination of pitchers that they'd use in games where they're ahead. Maybe they need some relief from that, but it's probably a good problem to have.

    I totally lost it with Sophia Minnaert when she couldn't properly "speak" a batting average during an otherwise wonderful feature report. The way she said it was something like "point three hundred twenty-five."

    Wouldn't that be an hour and a half? http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/mil/ballpark/information/index.jsp?content=guide#P

    They don't get paid, although there've been cases when teams have chosen to pay suspended players in situations where the team felt the player was right. Anyway, I'm guessing that Maldonado and Gomez will appeal simply due to the loss of pay.

    I'm not a fan of running up the score by using smallball tactics when there's a big lead, but given the shift and the fact that this was the first inning, I don't think this situation counts as running up the score.

    The goal is to get one up within a couple of hours of the game's starting time, so we're still within that window. If that time frame arrives and there's no thread provided by pretendastronaut or another moderator, members are welcome to start one. If a cool graphical lead post comes later, we can do a merge.

    interesting outside of the box idea, how about an area by Miller Park. It's not really outside the box. The Pettits originally wanted to put the Bradley Center next to County Stadium. The Brewers fought hard against the idea, and the community rejected it.
  19. 1992casey
    Milwaukee County owns the land; the Brewers lease it, and the lease gives them the right to develop it. Parking is handled by a private company chosen by the Brewers, meaning that the team actually does profit from parking. The team could opt to run the parking lot with its own employees if it felt that was a better option.

    I split these messages off from the regular Bucks thread as this discussion would seem to deserve a topic of its own.

    While I haven't specifically tried MLB.tv, every app I've tried on my Samsung TV has proven to be worthless. Devices specifically designed for streaming are cheap, and according to reports here on this board, they tend to work well. My Apple TV has never had trouble with anything I've tried to stream.

    I found out recently that if you move, you should have your mail temporarily forwarded by the post office rather than setting up permanent forwarding. If you set up permanent forwarding, the post office sells your new address to advertisers.

    Doris Day's 90th birthday is being celebrated on Thursday (although some sources say she'll be 92). She's better known for movies and recordings than TV; she was kind of forced into doing TV against her will. She turned down the role of Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate. Her son, Terry Melcher, had some creepy encounters with the Manson family.

    Two of President John Tyler's grandsons are still living.

    The fact that the cops were Oregon fans didn't help.
