    Does the even/odd thing still work for determining whether or not a Star Trek movie is good or not? I've lost count.

    It's possible, though I'd imagine the Wii uses SSL when transmitting your credit card data. To me, the bigger worry when using other people's wireless networks is passwords (as those forms aren't always secure), but if your neighbors haven't secured their wireless network, they're probably not smart enough to sniff your traffic.

    So will Bob Uecker describe his fastball as a "gasser" like with Doug Jones?

    And Bogut is out for a week. Now we can add Dan Gadzuric and Francisco Elson to this list. So um...whats Tragic Johnson up to these days?

    Unfortunately, that also means that we get to find out how good Charlie Bell and Tyronn Lue are.

    I end up doing this whenever I go to a Menards. For some reason, the stalls are always pointed toward the store in the row of the main entrance.

    Brock Montpetit. He committed to UW a couple years ago, supposedly was disappointed that Eaves didn't add him to this season's squad, and was concerned about playing time next year. As a player, he's not a huge loss for UW, but things like this might hurt their reputation in the future.

    I'm sure he can do a decent job in CF, but Cameron is better so we might as well use him for the time being, and worry about it in 2010. Maybe Lorenzo Cain will be able to jump right in, maybe Gwynn will finally develop some power, maybe the ghost of Jason Conti will reappear as a hitting machine, you never know.

    Do you need Xbox Live to use the Netflix streaming option? I don't have any real need for Live otherwise, so I'd rather not have to pay an extra $15 or whatever for it.

    I have a Blackberry that I have to use for work once in awhile, and I hate it. The interface is annoying, the applications aren't particularly great, and the selection of third-party applications is rather uninspiring. I don't know why anybody would actually *choose* be such a workaholic that they need their email in their pocket. Used to have a PalmOS Treo that was decent, though.

    Part of it might be the potential Big Lebowski-themed nicknames and catchphrases.

    Those schools would lose out on a ton of money by not playing games against big-name schools, so they would not vote in favor of this realignment.

    They're in the CCHA - along with Directional Michigan, Notre Dame, Bowling Green, Miami, Lake Superior State, Ferris State, Nebraska-Omaha and Alaska-Fairbanks.

    The actual power supply for a laptop is part of the power cable. It sounds like your DC power jack may have just worn out - this seems to happen a lot on laptops now. If you're comfortable at all with soldering, they're not difficult to replace.

    Radio commercials for hearing aids. Speaking of radio commercials, these have been bugging me: * The Toyota "SAAAAAAAAVE BYYYYY ZEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOO" ads. What does "save by zero" even mean? It doesn't sound like any big savings to me. * Those GM Goodwrench radio ads with the guy saying "You know how when you go to a store and you want the best, you ask the clerk what he's got in the back, right?" NO!. Nobody does that! And why on Earth would a store keep their best (and presumably most expensive/profitable) merchandise in "the back"? And then they have to have that "AH CAHNT STAHP THINKANG ABOOOUT IT" guy at the end. Make it stop.

    What if the Brewers had lost game 1 though? They might have been out of it before game 162 started, or at the very least needed some Wes Helms magic to force a tie-breaker. Similarly, if the Brewers had won a couple more games here and there in May, they could have had the wild card wrapped up well before the last day of the season. Every game matters exactly the same amount - if this weren't the case, some games would be worth more wins/losses than others.

    Every team's fans think their bullpen sucks. Maybe they all do, but someone has to be relatively good, bad, and average in all of that.

    Yep. This has happened with Hart before - I think it was his first year in AAA, he was terrible for the first two months of the season, probably worse than he was toward the end of 2008. I don't have splits to look at, but I seem to remember him taking a month and a half to get his AVG up over .100. He finished the season with a line of .282/.344/.486.

    Paul Depodesta mentioned in his blog that he thought it was unlikely that Giles would have declined arbitration. Since they wouldn't have been able to get a compensation pick in that case, maybe they figured that the best they could do is try and trade him? Of course, they could have traded him had he accepted arbitration too.

    I think part of the reason for this is that, as soon as one of the committee members blows a save, the teams panic and appoint someone the next day. I can't think of any teams that have gone with a closer-by-committee for an entire season anytime recently. Maybe it won't work, but I don't feel like anyone has given it a proper chance. For those who remember, how were short relievers used before the save was invented? I'm all for that. If we must designate a closer, might as well just grab a bunch of failed starters off the scrap heap and see who sticks. Looking at the top 5 saves leaders in the AL and NL last season, more than half of them were failed starters.

    Since the coaching staff is largely up to the manager, it would have been perfectly reasonable for Macha to pick and hire someone from outside the organization. But if Macha interviewed Bill Castro and thinks he's a good choice, that's good enough for me. I liked Maddux for teaching marginal pitchers how to throw a cutter and make themselves useful, but I don't think he was particularly special otherwise. There were some positives, some negatives, but overall, the pitching coach probably doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

    I'm assuming you mean convert 4:3 things into stretch-o-vision, because I've noticed that too. It's really annoying, and I have no idea why they do it. I'm guessing it's for the present-day equivalent of people who only bought full-screen movies because they "don't want part of the movie cut off".
