QUOTE(PlunketChris @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 10:08 PM) There's ways around the copy protection stuff, you can put it on a DVD as a video to be watched on TV if you have the proper software.. then bring that copy back to the computer.. if it means that much.. or you can watch it on your computer.. either way, i downloaded it, now i carry the 05 world series, the commerative DVDs, and the Buehrle no-hitter all on my ipod.. some of those moments are real spirit lifters on bad days. I've got a strange buzzing sound coming out of the game I downloaded off of itunes. Does yours have that problem?

last time erstad hit .300, so did jeffrey hammonds, david segui & travis fryman.

OMG, we just signed a guy who posted a .750+ OPS..... ....in 2000!

I think the numbers normally cited are from 6/11 on: 83 Games / 240 At Bats / .263 BA / .313 OBP / .408 Slug / .721 OPS I think that would be around a 90 OPS+, which is fine for one of the best defensive center fielders and a rookie to boot.

4/02 - 6/10: .152 BA / .250 OBP / .264 SLUG / .514 OPS 6/11 - 7/04: .234 BA / .321 OBP / .426 SLUG / .746 OPS

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 12:39 AM) who has rage influenced... and come on Loveless and Spiderland have inlfuenced a lot more bands then entire discographys of other bands...I can get behind your hip hop but i dont think public enemy influenced that many...i think eric b. and rakim were much more influential. well, good or bad (i claim bad), Rage can be cited for the Rap-Metal trend that occured for about 5 years.

10 Influential Bands since 1986: Nirvana The Pixies REM Radiohead U2 Rage Against the Machine A Tribe Called Quest The Beastie Boys Public Enemy Metallica I can't give Slint or My Bloody Valentine too much credit since we are only pointing to 2 albums. Sonic Youth

QUOTE(bmags @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) i love radiohead, my favorite band...but this is seriously overlooking much more influential bands of the past 20 years... I see you are a Slint fan, but I think the Radiohead statement might be true. I'm a huge radiohead fan, so the idea of thom yorke as a white sox fan intrigues me. With that said, I highly doubt that they are fans. I'm guessing it was for a show in chicago so they improvised something that the fans in the area would like.

There are steroid rumors about Oliver Perez.

He has reached base in 6 straight games.

http://www.hittrackeronline.com/detail.php...198&type=hitter This estimates around 459 feet.

I think Coop is better, but Mike Maddux in Milwaukee has also done very well.

From WhiteSox.com: Chris Getz, who had one hit Saturday, is hitting .478 during his six-game hitting streak for Birmingham. Currently in Birmingham (AA): 18 Games / 67 ABs / 7 BB / 6 SO / .313 BA / .387 OBP / .403 SLUG Everything I've read about him says that he has a great glove, Major League Ready at 2nd base, some say it is even good enough for short.

Alright, I need an opinion about these dvds. I have the set and recently put it in my DVD player and watched it on my Widescreen tv. Anyways, what do you think the resolution of the dvd is in? I put it in 4:3 and for some strange reason the DVD was letterboxed on the sides and the top and bottom. I've never had any other DVD act like this. Normally it just letterboxes the left and right. So, I moved it to 16:9 (widescreen) and it looked fine except it was overly stretched. I used one of my zooms on my TV and it filled the entire screen with a little bit at the bottom being cut off (from the bottom half of the ball in the MLB logo down). I've read reviews and some say the DVDs are in Widescreen (16:9 or 1.78:1), others say 4:3 (1.33:1). Thing is, either way I watch it I end up having it letterboxed on way or the other. Anyone with a widescreen tv had this same problem?

Great job. I do have one suggestion, perhaps in the rankings where the Player's age and Position is listed, also list the year and round they were drafted.
