  1. If smaller is better, you can get all the way down to 10 inches, maybe even less. 13" is generally considered the "happy point" between portability and offering room to maneuver.
  2. I just thought I'd mention that there's a significant edit in the message directly above, just in case anyone read this topic in the hour between the initial posting and the edit.
  3. An added cost consideration for a Mac would be the purchase of the OS X version of Rosetta Stone. If you're trying to go cheap, I'd be really tempted to use Linux rather than Windows. But then there's the issue that there's no Linux version for Rosetta Stone. As BillScottCanRake says, I'd look for warranty. I'd also compare the specs of the computers in your price range to be sure you're not choosing something that's grossly substandard. Is there a particular screen size that you're looking for?
  4. While the gurus will tell us that the newer defensive stats have shortcomings, their flaws don't qualify them as duds. They're usable if they're handled with care and their specific flaws are taken into account. I think that most stats that do a reasonable job at what they're supposed to measure are probably pretty good at spotting the extremes. In Betancourt's case, we have several stats that put him smack dab at the bottom over a large sample.
  5. I've found that the wasps and hornets that get into my house are too stupid to cause a problem. I can get them with a fly swatter or the vacuum cleaner. If you want to knock off the insects, there are sprays that will reach from a distance. The trick is to read the directions. Some should be sprayed at night and others during the day. That doesn't get rid of the nest itself, but it removes the main concern.
  6. It's always hard going to St. Louis because of the way they steal signs and spike the Brewers' water supply with malt liquor. I believe they spike the water supply with vodka.
  7. This topic has been added to the Designated Threads List.
  8. This topic has been added to the Designated Threads List.
  9. Discussion continued in this topic: What happened to Yuniesky Betencourt?
  10. Until Dave Kingman, everyone with 400 homers made the Hall. I hope that Thome is given his due respect and is voted in without question.
  11. You can't actually change your current username, but you can create a new profile and reapply for membership. Follow these steps to create a new profile: Hit the navigation button that appears in the upper right-hand corner of most Yuku pages.In the dashboard that appears, hit the "PROFILE" link in the "Create" box at the upper right.Follow the prompts.It's preferable to create a global username. That will avoid having ".brewersfandemonium" tacked onto your handle if you post on boards other than Brewerfan. (You'll see .brewersfandemonium handles all over the place on LambeauLeap.) To create a global username, carry out step one above from your profile page. Because Yuku has millions of profiles, your preferred username might not be available globally. In that case, carry out step one above from any Brewerfan board page to create a local profile. Note that the directions above apply to unconverted profiles only. Your current profile is unconverted; your new one would be converted. After your new profile is set up, make sure you're logged into it and head over to our membership application page. Since you're already a member who's currently active, you won't need to impress us with a high quality message. Just tell us that you've been posting as RickieWeeks23 and you'd like to start posting under a new name. At that point, one of our admins will set up your new profile for posting and move your current profile to read-only. You'll receive a PM notifying you when the change has been made. Your current profile would be good for posting in the meantime.
  12. This statement is 100% bollocks. Topper's comment above just shows the level the ridiculousness has gotten to. Statements like these are unnecessary. Please address the message rather than attacking the messenger.
  13. Here's the discussion in the Major League forum: http://brewersfandemonium...roster-Hitl#reply-751855
  14. Doug Melvin has been known to mention range factor, which sucks. Maybe he's trying not to tip his hand, or maybe he does actually consider it.
  15. "Girls of Brewerfan.net" sounds like a calendar. I'm not sure that we've ever had any girls here. All female members that I know of have been over 18. That would qualify them as women.
  16. Im wondering when skipping apostrophes on simple contractions became taboo. Its only one extra lowercase home row keystroke that many cant seem to bother with. I dont get it.
  17. This topic doesn't have the kind pictures contained within the thread that blocked pitchleague's access to Off Topic. Hopefully, that helps. For what it's worth, it took a couple of weeks for the mods to notice what was being posted in that topic. Had one of us bothered to look, it would have been gone much earlier. The simple act of hiding it made this forum accessible to pitchleague again.
  18. I had those messages in a big way, beginning yesterday and lasting until about noon today. They may have been caused by Yuku's gurus running a big backup script. According to staff, the issue should be resolved at this point. There's little to nothing that one can do about 502 errors. The problem has to do with the web site host.
  19. Moved to Issues: http://brewersfandemonium...4/Anyone-else-locked-out A topic like this is much more likely to get the attention of the mods over there.
  20. Here's that article: Morgan's popularity is growing in Milwaukee
  21. The questions induced the mood. In a typical interview, how often do we hear a player laugh (Tony Plush excepted)? I'm glad to know that Prince smells nice.

Astros vs. Greinke Greinke Game Log Bud Norris 5-7 | 3.47 A blister on Norris' throwing hand forced the starter to leave Monday's start against the Reds after facing one batter in the sixth inning.
