    STRIKE!!!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Ever listen to his side projects? I really enjoyed Tomahawk (Self titled, the sophomore release stunk), Lovage, Mr Bungle and Peeping Tom.

    Saw this on BCB. According to the Braves Mailbag, Powell is being considered as a replacement for their play by play announcer. Source Have the Braves announced who will replace Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren? They are two broadcast legends who will be missed. -- Charles S., Birmingham, Ala. The Braves have not announced who will serve as their new radio broadcast team. Chip Caray will likely continue to do all the games that don't interfere with his television commitments to Peachtree TV and TBS. But it's still not clear who will be working the radio broadcasts. Currently, the Braves are looking a number of candidates from outside the organization. One name that I've heard is Jim Powell, a University of Georgia graduate who has called Brewers games for more than a decade. If the Braves are looking for a broadcaster about 25-30 years from now, they may find Tristan Caray as a candidate. Chip's wife, Susan, gave birth to Tristan on Nov. 19 and the baby's proud papa says that everybody is healthy and looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with the latest addition to the Caray family.

    It looks like that replacement (Phoenix) for the 360 is probably a year out at least. I have't heard anything more then "It's expected to have 4x the processing and graphics power" and that's about it. I'm sure the cost point is going to be very big, and the reason why i'm slow adopting consoles. I don't want to pay 800 bucks to play 2 video games. I'll wait... Do you have proper cooling? More RROD sound like they stem from the GPU over heating, warping and then causing the RROD.

    That's a pretty good deal. Last year I got 360 Pro + GH2 w/ Guitar for something... bought RB the same day so I spent a fortune.

    We will be rolling out the Storms once they get to market. Launch was Friday but it always takes a bit. But I hate how they give nicknames... each company gives it nick names, but they are all series based. 7300 series - built like a tank. Really big, but side button scroller thing. It's just to big, otherwise no complaints. 8800 and 8300 - Thinner, but the scroller ball can be a bit weird at times. No real downer except BBOS is a bit clunky at times, the 8830 rocks if you live some place with reception issues. The quad band makes a world of difference. 8200 Pearl - Size is nice, but that double tap is a pain in the butt. If you just want to use it as a phone with some extra email features (But don't email a lot off it) it works fine. Anyways, you may have to activate the service but then you can kill it. Just make sure you don't access the internet as they are going to destroy you with charges. As far as ranking smart phone OS's... I'd go.. 1 - iPhone (#1 Personal. I know it's trendy, but it's a really well built interface, and it just works) 2 - Blackberry (#1 Business phone, BES is very robust and never fails). 3 - Treo with Palm OS (Seems to handle the platform better, but it's to old to be really handy, and the phones are very bulky) 4 - Something 5 - Windows Mobile. I'm sorry but Windows Mobile platform SUCKS. It doesn't handle multitasking very well, and the phone simply crawls to a hault at times if something hangs. It's a horrible horrible implementation.

    Ok here's my biggest complaint. I play Expert drums and Guitar. You do the Showcase stuff or Mystery set list, and it picks the hardest stuff ever even if it's my first showcase. For instance, I did the thing for the Merchandise chick. First track, Sweet Leaf barely pass, then BYOB by System of a Down.. I just gave up. I can't beat that song at all. If it was a mix of expert mid level stuff like I'm working through unlocking it wouldn't be a problem. But going from playing Blondie in the catagory to some of the hardest tracks is a bit lame.

    The streaming is ok. No digital dolby, Quality of the Imagine is good but not awesome. I wouldn't watch every movie that way, but the ones you are curious about but don't really care for seems fine.

    GH WT is very new, so I'm sure their catalog will increase. Rock Band has been releasing tracks every Tuesday for a year now, so they've got a really big head start. I'm not sure who are all in the pipes for GH, but I do want to play Tool, so some day I will be picking it up. Perhaps if I get some gift certs at xmas. And I'm totally jazzed about the Beatles picking Harmonix/Rock Band for their game, I'm jazzed about that. But I don't think it'll be DLC, it'll be a complete new game.

    So all this talk of Rock Band made me go out and bite the bullet and pick up RB2 last night. Just the game with my RB1 equipment, but I played the stuff at the store. (Yeah I'm a loser). I would def say that the drums are worth the RB2 kit (if you are thinking fo waiting). The pads are much much quieter. RB1 has very loud pads, everything else seemed the same. RB2 format is a lot cooler, except I do not care for the solo tour play style. It's like the world tour, just by yourself. So you have all these set lists to beat, and you end up lpaying the same song 5 times at one location. It's very annoying. RB1 songs import was easy, used 1.6 gigs of data space roughly and cost about 5 bucks. All the DLC content moved over. There's a ton to do in RB2, but I just don't know how I feel about the single player aspect. Played a bit of GH WT. The slider part of the guitar seems cool, but kind of out of place. Maybe you get used to it.

    There appear to be some hacks, but it requires you to remove it out of it's chasing.

    Yeah that is a feature. i'm copying over rock band because I have a scratch on it. This just in.. drinking + pluged in controllers = friends girlfriend drags your xbox off your shelf and onto the ground. They have Avatars now... it's a Wii rip off completely. Especially the sounds. Netflix streaming is alright, no Dolby digital, and the picture quality is just alright.

    Just a reminder to all the XBox 360 users. The XBOX Live update was rolled out today. Connect up and update

    Depends what you are looking to do. Set list is very important when choosing the games, remember the Wii doesn't allow down loadable content so you have to wait for the tracks to be released on DVD. Personally I like Rock Band. Rock Band plays more like real guitars (They attempt to mimic the movements you do when you play the real thing) while Guitar Hero hard stuff just attempts to make it freaking hard by adding fake and shadow notes. I have yet to play GHWT drums, but you may consider waiting for the next generation of the instruments as the RB drums aren't the greatest, and LOUD. I've had to replace my RB Guitar once already (Double sensing strums). But I really enjoy the game over Guitar Heros.

    I think straw is correct. Escobar may start the season on the roster as a backup for SS/2B, perhaps even called up once he starts as Nashville for a bit. DM has said that he's looking to cheapen up the backups. Who's cheaper then a rookie?

    This sounds like a start of the pending Zombie invasion. Do you have any desire to feast upon tasty tasty human brains?

    This has nothing to do with falling asleep, but I did get a mild concussion from a blow to the head playing soccer last week. The effects finally went completely away Sunday, but I had symptoms up till then. But oh my, did I ever have a lot of vivid dreams during the course of the effects. Just about every REM cycle I'd have a rather vivid dream, I'd wake up after, kind of make a note of it, fall back to sleep and right back into another vivid REM cycle. I'd have 3 or 4 (I slept A LOT) during each night. Was pretty nuts...

    Wood also still has a 96 MPH fastball after his TJ, and more pitches in his arsenal them Cappy. Seems to me like Cappy is going to be a Matty Wise type pitcher, slow fastball slower change up and lives and dies on his location. Personally I think he's done as a starter, but who know...

    That would destroy home field advantage. No way. MLB should work with the ball clubs, owners and municipalities to ensure funding for a roof of some sort on new stadiums where adverse weather conditions in playoff months is a common occurrence. The cold isn't as much of an issue as the rain/snow is.

    Isn't opec going to have a meeting and talking about reducing production? i'd assue that'll cause the price to rebound.
  20. sgtcluels
    Do NOT buy the MLB app for the iPhone till 09. It expires at the end of the year.. so you pretty much just wasted 6 bucks if you did. Perhaps next year I'll pick it up, for Scoreboard watching while at the park.

    The 42-US gallon oil barrel is a unit of measure, and is no longer used to transport crude oil - most petroleum is moved in pipelines or oil tankers.

    I don't think the team will give up on Weeks at 2nd. He's got at least one more year in the organization before they throw him aside. Perhaps with coaching changes he'll put it together. So I don't think there's much room for Escobar or Hardy to move to 2nd. Hardy has a bat for a SS which means hiss value is high, if we move him to 3rd, he'll lose some value. So for the best of the team, the club may have to make the hard decision to gamble on Escobar and move Hardy for the best of the club. I know he's a popular player, especially with the girlies, but we may have someone better in the wings. Personally, I'd like to see him moved to 3rd. Hes got a strong enough arm, he'll hurt our power a bit (But honestly, do we need more power?) compared to average 3rd basemen. But our left side defense would be solid, and with Escobar range, perhaps it can help shore up the right side defense as Escobar can get to more balls.

    If the Dodgers and Red Sox advance, Manny Ramirez is guaranteed a world series ring.

    Well, the tax better sunset on schedule! I mean I love the Crew and have no problem with the tax increase, but the Club mad a promise to allow it to sunset. Anyways, I wonder if the HD Screen will attract off season attractions. Maybe more concerts... and perhaps in the future when we return to the playoffs they'll show the game out of town games on the screen. That could bring in some revenue.
  25. sgtcluels
    Wait.. I thought in 2006 they were saying that income isn't keeping up to pace and that the tax may last longer then 2014. Does this mean we magically found 5.5 million dollars or does this mean they aren't going to sunset the tax?
