    Since the computer won't boot at all, pull the hard drive and put it in another machine to copy the files. Since you can't even boot from a DVD, it's likely a hardware problem. When you have the machine open, you can re-seat the ram and any cards, blow out the dust, etc. If the machine has more than one RAM module, you could try removing them one at a time to see if that gets it to boot.

    It's easy for someone who has not encountered this to hear the word anxiety and think of all the ordinary causes of anxiety and try to project them to this situation. The moral being always look before jumping to conclusions. I wish him well for his sake. The prospect business will take care of itself once he is well. Anyone have any idea how long it usually takes to find the right drugs for something like this? I can't imagine it being too quick given the combination of different drugs and different doses that will take time and close monitoring to determine success. I just hope they make sure to dot all the i's and cross all the t's so that Angel doesn't loose 100 games for trying to get well.

    He was helped a bit by an ump with a wide strike zone, but his location was better last night. Hopefully the better location will continue.

    I think it is impossible to call any heart surgery minor. We can just hope for the surgery to be successful with no complications, and for Ueck to make a full and speedy recovery.

    Get well Uke.

    Probably the biggest lead Hoffman has ever had to protect. At least there is a shutout to preserve.

    Inglet gets a little extra work, with two AB's for pinch hitting.

    Can somebody give him a bad mattress so he can be on the DL for another month?

    Rene Lachemann I'd take Ned Yost any day over Rene. Sal Bando (as GM)

    13-9 (one rain out) 2+6+4 = 12

    As long as the Brewers don't fall flat in that part of the schedule, it is really good for them. The early part of the season is when attendance is weakest, so the Brewers will have comparatively more home games when the weather is good and the attendance is up. A disastrous start to the season would ruin this.

    Lasik Recovery From this and a couple of other things it sounds like he'd be out a minimum of a month, plus some time to get his timing back. Also, you must have the same prescription for a year, and preferably two before you can get Lasik, to make sure your eyes are not changing. Since Hart did not have a prescription last year, he can't get Lasik for at least another year.
  13. MadScientist
    Lasik has a significant recovery time, up to 6 months for the vision to stabilize. If Hart had it this spring when he failed his vision test, he'd miss a good chunk of time. The goggles sounded like the best bet for him, but unfortunately they don't have 1 hour prescription goggle places. It could be worse, if he had an astigmatism, the distortion caused by glasses would make hitting and fielding harder than dealing with a blurry ball.

    There was some question on the previous thread about the problem of keeping two long relievers fresh. In some ways I think it might be easier to do with 2 than with 1. With 1, you don't want to give him innings one day then really need him the next, so you don't use him unless you really need to. With 2, you can give one long reliever 3-4 innings when the starter goes 5-6 and not worry because the next day or two the other guy will be ready. On the third day, that other pitcher can go 3-4 innings. This way both pitcher can get regular work, stay sharp, and the 1 inning guys will not get burned out early in the year when the starters often don't come close to sniffing the 7th. Also if the long relievers are regularly getting 3 innings, they should be able to get to 5-6 if they need to start, without more stretching out. The only concern with this plan is that the long relievers need to get through the 3-4 innings without damage, but since they were starters, and don't have to go through the lineup more than twice, they can throw every pitch they have to get through, not saving things for a third time around. There will be some cases where these pitchers get taken out for pinch hitters, but hopefully the offense has scored enough that they can be left in.

    Bill and Brian commenting on the good throw to get the runner by Salome, followed by a good block of low curve. Maybe Coach32 is right about him http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Just put the local tv revenue into a pool to split among all teams. If the Yankees don't like it, they can broadcast their games without showing any player from another team. Some sort of salary floor would need to be added, so that the teams getting additional revenue actually spend it to make the teams competitive.

    What is the cost of adding this lane, what is the cost of road maintenance vs rail maintenance, and would the amount of passengers on the rail line be enough to eliminate the need for the 3rd lane? Maybe it will always be a money pit, but you've just pointed out that not running the rail line has costs as well.
  18. MadScientist
    Err, if that's true, I don't really like it. Especially with Wolf, Gallardo and Bush being flyball pitchers. An outfield defense of Braun/Edmonds/Hart would make me cry. http://brewersbeat.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/01/edmonds_appears_on_st_louis_ra.html Well a chance to play is not the same as starting. The quote could be honest and still refer to pinch hitting and double switches more than anything else.

    I remember a going to a couple of them in San Diego. The biggest problem was that watching them on TV was a bit dull, and being in a spectator boat meant taking the waves at bad angles with fast turns thrown in. My stomach did not like the races one bit.

    I've been through it, and there is a lot of details that will define your best course of action. It's a bit of extra trouble that she is avoiding you, but I'm guessing that at least means that there are no kids involved. It is certainly worth talking to a few lawyers to see which ones you like, what they can do, and how much it will cost. If she has moved out, a formal separation makes a ton of sense. As far as you hurting her, it doesn't have any legal significance (unless it crossed the line to criminal activity). The divorce laws look at differences in income, length of time you were married, and child placement. There are things you can do to reduce the costs, but it depends on how much you are able to talk to each other to work out a settlement. You can actually work through just one lawyer, if both of you are not interested in major fights. The flip side is that you will have to live with the settlement, so make sure you can live with it. Your situation is your concern, she is responsible for hers. One other thing to look into are support groups for divorced and divorcing people. Even if they don't give out a lot of advice, the social interaction with people who won't treat you like a failure because your marriage failed.

    At least he is not going to the Cubs to be a Brewers killer.

    Sounds like it may affect him more than it affects others, which would explain his difficulty in giving it up. His comment on flying sounds more metaphoric - he said he feels like he can do anything that comes to mind - but only he knows how he feels. TLB, you say that it is like getting drunk, but can you say what goes through the mind of an alcoholic when drinking? I wish him the success with his recovery, not just for the Brewer's sake, but because if he is kicked out of baseball, I can see his life going up in smoke.

    Disappointing bust of a 2nd rounder, but an ops of 575 in A ball does not look like there is much to build on. Good luck to him in football. At his age he might be able to get by with 1 or 2 years before trying for the NFL if he has the talent in that sport. Might be a bit interesting if the Packers wind up drafting him.

    The NIC lights indicate a lot of network access. This sounds like spyware infecting things. It looks like whatever was removed is back. It needs to be cleaned and to have the anti-virus / anti-spyware running constantly. Also don't let her use IE, make her switch to Firefox with adblock Plus running. This should reduce the chance of re-infection.

    Way to go Prince. Nice to see a Brewer finally take it. Now hit 23 on your next trip to St. Louis.
