    Thanks guys for the advice/tips. I'll probably end up waiting a week or two to buy one, but it definitely looks worthwhile purchase for me to look into. Well, the high-speed internet isn't a problem for me, but is it really necessary to purchase the $149.99 "power-line networking" accessory? The desktop that I would like it on is hooked up with Wi-Fi, and I think I could connect the slingbox with a wired connection if needed.

    I've never totally looked into seeing what the slingbox actually does until reading about it a few minutes ago, and am partially interested in it. I guess I don't understand exactly what it does/how it works. It allows you to watch TV from a cable box, basic, etc. on a computer/laptop/mobile device, right? It would be convenient to watch some baseball on my desktop, rather than being in my TV room. Does the slingbox have a limited distance to which it can transmit my TV channels to? Is there decreased quality? If anyone could answer some of my questions or give a little overview on how they use theirs, that'd be awesome.

    Cinnamon Life, Lucky Charms, Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles, and Rice Krispy Treats were always my favorite. Does anyone remember a cereal that was something like "pop-tart cereal"? I think they were small square shaped pieces with frosting inside of them.

    No kidding... I've had to turn down the volume multiple times because of his laugh. Mota has been a bit of a surprise for me thus far and is looking pretty solid right now.

    From what I've read it appears to keep a lefty in the starting rotation, but that doesn't really make sense to me in the long-haul.

    "No matter how many days he misses, Hardy said he'll be ready for opening day." -Link I guess that means we shouldn't pencil in Counsell quite yet.

    My main gripe with 2k8 is the small text, other than that I'm liking it much more than 2k7. I like the new pitching and throwing systems quite a bit... the hitting doesn't seem overly different from last years game, besides less home runs on my end.

    I've played 2 games of MLB 2K8 for the xbox 360 and have enjoyed it much more thank MLB 2k7. It takes a little bit getting used to the new controls, but it's a lot more intuitive than pressing "A" to throw a fastball.

    Did I hear wrong that Jeffress has failed 4 drug tests in the past?

    I'm on firefox when it happens to me.

    I've come across this a few times as well, so it's not just you.

    Didn't Peavy used to play without corrective lenses? I've read a few times about him playing legally blind.

    Here's an impression from someone who's played the 2k8 demo: http://vetzballin.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=85 I haven't read it yet, but ran across it a few minutes ago.

    Bioshock is a great game. I also enjoyed condemned, which is a horror game and it should be fairly cheap now if you are interested. If you have high speed internet you'll probably want the hard drive. If not, you're still missing out on the backwards compatibility and I would imagine game saves might become a bit of a problem/hassle in the future with the memory card.
  15. chowyo123
    I like him at times, but then there's other times where he repeats a phrase and annoys me. I can't stand it when he calls a homerun similar to "He's gone DOWN TOWN." It almost sounds like he forces his excitement sometimes.
  16. chowyo123
    I don't think that will save his job. edit: and not to make this another fire Ned Yost thread, there has been a lot of miscommunication that I've seen between plays this year, and not just with the Brewers. The Nationals were doing a suicide squeeze and the batter missed the sign and swung away rather than bunted. During this week Jacque Jones got thrown out at second due to a missed hit and run sign by the batter. I think it happens more than we know.

    Did Braun, a rookie, give himself the greenlight to steal? Whose in charge of this team anyway? And, like jason21nl pointed out, Hart went at the exact same time. It sure seemed like something was in the works and failed, but I digress... I'm not sure what Yost would gain from blaming one of his rookie players. I'm not trying to defend Yost, but it is a possibility that Braun did go on his own, and I think Hart is a smart enough baserunner to watch Braun in front of him take off.
  18. chowyo123
    I don't believe Ned brought that up as a reason though, and that is where the problem lies. People would be way more tolerant of these things, if there was at least some evidence of logical thought behind them. Instead he gives explations like "the flow of the game" or "we like Linebrink there" or "you make a decision and there's no crying about it." Things that aren't really explanations at all. Then, sometimes he says things that are just blatantly false, like that Javier Valentin hits better when he's batting right-handed, or they wanted Jenkins for defense when they removed him the next inning. It' not just that he makes poor decisions - it's that there always seems to be extremely faulty logic driving the decision making. There didn't seem to be any reason to believe Braun could steal 3rd though. He was out by 5 steps. Obviously, it would have been nice to have a guy at 3rd, but the chances of making an out there are quite high. In my opinion, the risk was not worth the potential reward, and it was an idea that was almost certain to fail. I just wanted to point out a quote from yost: "He thought he had the green light," Yost said. "He got no jump and it was the wrong time, but it was good that he was aggressive. He's showing a little larceny." In other words, it was Braun's decision to steal, not Yost's. So I guess the only questionable call on Yost's end from the other night was leaving Jenkins in. Link

    I'm not so sure how you can say his career goes straight down the drain from this. In that article it says

    Counsell is starting tonight. Yuck.
  21. chowyo123
    Dickey just started yesterday so I wouldn't think he'd get the call.

    It's kind of cool to see Doug Davis's dad start the in-game threads at dppb.org for his son's last 5, and now 6 starts. This is my first post in the in-game threads here at brewerfan in a long time so here's hoping for a win.

    Apparently Sheets had some blister problems today. Sheets JSonline Blisters
  24. chowyo123
    Mlb.com shows he made his debut yesterday and went 0-4.
  25. chowyo123
    I'm not sure what was worse tonight... Davey Nelson or the game.
