QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Dec 26, 2006 -> 07:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You have any other computers you can test? It seems to me you might have DHCP turned off on your router. My dad's desktop computer is hooked into the router and it is fine. My brother's desktop computer is wireless and the internet is fine. I continue to get the blue screen of death on my laptop and even after I restart, I can still never connect to the internet. Better start shopping for a new laptop. I just need something to surf the internet, hook my ipod upto, use microsoft office (but not too extensively) and be able to use wirelessly. EDIT: I just did a system restore to a few days ago and I got my connection going.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 26, 2006 -> 07:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hopefully the cop doesn't show or shows up late. I avoided points on my license because the cop was 45 minutes late to the hearing. My friend just beat a bogus ticket because the cop didn't show up at all. Here's the thing, I got ticketed at home. I live in Iowa now, so it'd cost me more to miss a day at work (I'm a contractor so I don't get paid) drive home and back. I'm currently on supervision for a speeding ticket, but I don't think the non-moving violation will hurt me. One other thing I noticed; the Copper underlined "A.M." when it was 10:40 P.M. Attorneys??? I rather give the $75 to a lawyer to show up and fight this to keep it off my record than give $75 to the state.

My laptop is totally pissing me off. When I hook it up to a router with an ethernet cord, it'll just keep saying "acquiring network address." When I try using the wireless card I get the same thing with an excellent signal strength and an error about the IP address (it's 0.0.0.0.) I spent 45 minutes with the tech guy from Comcast, but nothing worked. I'm going to try and reinstall Windows, but if that doesn't work, I think I'll just go out and buy a new laptop.

I'm a big Johnson fan, ( ) but I wouldn't trade anything of great value to get him. Yankee Retreads "R" Us.

I was an idiot the other day and took the wrong route to a bar. I ended up in one of those BS safety check road blocks and got hit with a $75 fine for not having a front plate installed. (I have an insert.) I was getting ready to pay the ticket online today when I noticed the Cop wrote my court date as 02/01/06 My lawyer dad doesn't think it's strong enough to pass, but I'm going to ask my cop buddy about this. I've heard of people beating tickets because their name or SSN was wrong, and recall reading something about dates being incorrect. Any good stories or advice?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But you know what else that 5th starter spot gave us, despite relatively bad numbers? A sh*t load of wins. 9 wins out of El Duque and 6 out of McCarthy by my count. That's 15 wins. McCarthy won 3 games in 2005, one of which was on the last day of the season where he went 5 innings and the AAA Knights beat Cleveland after the Sox already won the division

What the heck do you guys do for a living that makes you work these crappy hours? I'm off until the third, but it's not paid for.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 05:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can't wait until Ken Rosenthal posts another article criticizing one of our offseason moves. I predict the following sentence: "As one rival AL GM told suggested, '[Williams] vastly undervalued his own starter. Trading McCarthy will come back to haunt them." I'm sure Baseball Prospectus will have a delightful twist on it as well. Not that any of it matters, of course. Just have to revel in a move which is dismissed across the entire baseball world. Just like the Carlos Lee trade? Not too sure what to think of this deal. Danks sounds good, but McCarthy will be missed.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 06:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is the same risk from any of our starters, or relievers for that matter. We could have a starter have a horrible start and struggle to get his era under 5 all year, or we could have a starter completely pitch like crap all year, until the last couple months of the season.... Should we not bring back Vazquez and Garland too? Hernandez couldn't hold Garland's or Vazquez's jocks. They have a much better track record than him based on results and stuff. He is an out of shape, lazy, cancerous, loser.

I got that on my old laptop and replaced the hard drive. On my current laptop I've been getting the blue screen a death pretty frequently. Oh well.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Dec 20, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 40 Year Old Virgin could have been great, but the fact that it's running length makes Lord Of The Rings (yes, the whole trilogy) feel like a friggin' Tom and Jerry short hurts it something terrible. I liked it, but by the time it ended I was really ready for it to end. Are you kidding me? I thought it was pretty short and felt they rushed the fact everyone found out he was a virgin. I tried to watch LOTR: Two Towers or whatever, but I fell asleep twice during one viewing of the movie.

Royals made a Riske move today.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Dec 20, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> KW has not added anyone who has much of a track record of major league success there this offseason. That's because those guys are called "closers" and they command $10 million per year. I don't even recall any healthy closers on the market this year. Overpaying for bullpen help is very stupid. Relievers are too unreliable from year to year (Politte, Cotts, Marte, Shingo) and even if you do find somebody good, you're going to be paying them $5 million per year to throw 60 innings.

I would love to have Miguel Cabrera as a back up OF. I take it Early 90's Griffey Jr. is in Center and the Rickey Hernderson from the 80's is in left?

I sleep on a mattress that is directly on a floor. It sucks. I haven't had a good night's rest in a month. I'm working on it.

This whole time Soxhawk was talking about "signing" Abreu, I thought he was talking about last July. I heard and read NOTHING about Abreu being moved. All I remember is hearing Abreu talk about how much he enjoys playing in NY. Why would New York trade Abreu if they already traded Sheffield?
