QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) So is Dayan in Charlotte does anyone know? Do we have a scoop? Maybe just getting the day off that the rest of the players got since he played in the AAA All-Star game. I don't know, but I don't want to get my hopes up that we will actually be getting his bat to the majors.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) Some of your problems apparently are mouse-driven. I right click using my right click on the mouse, the scroll is my scroll wheel. New tab is Alt T or the plus sign on the Chrome tab bar. The maximize button on my browser is the far right button on the upper left corner. You can also customize your browser with where you want the button etc. The bottom menu acts as a quick launch bar and also a "force close" application so you never have to ctl-alt-delete to get to where you need to go. Alot of the shortcuts are the exact same as a PC. I personally use a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard for my imac, so it operates just like a pc in my interaction with it. Where it performs easier is in things like storing files and having them be indexable and accessible without me having to point the damn system at the location of the file, it does it automatically. the iMovie questions are something that should be easy to figure out since the Mac is the premiere system to do video and graphic editing on. It sounds like they just have their Macs set up in a very basic way or just a strange set up. This is the mice we have everywhere at school. No scroll wheel, and it's just 1-solid button, no split clicking. All the computers ran Safari I believe, and there was no little "plus" sign for open a new tab like Chrome has. And it wasn't iMovie we were using. It was a much more sophisticated program, Final Cut Pro I believe. Yeah, couldn't figure that out at all, but luckily we do have some special video editing PC's in our library that run Sony Vegas, which I am very familiar with. But all of our teachers teach you everything assuming we all own an Apple computer, and know how to use Apple computers, so it's really frustrating sometimes when I am completely lost when it comes to doing things like use "drop folders" and "Thawspace" servers. I know a lot of people who have Macs and like them, but I've tried them and they are just not for me, especially at those prices.

QUOTE (LayelBurton @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) Josh Phegley to Charlotte Tyler Kuhn to BHam Christian Marrero to DL KW Jr. to DL Justin Greene activated Tyson Corley to BHam Dallas McPherson activated Have they ever announced Flowers is coming up for Castro yet?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) Like what is confusing to you, maybe we can help? I don't know, like figuring out how the hell to open a new tab in a browser, how to "right-click", how to scroll, how to use the servers we had, how to log and capture video on to the computer via MovieMaker or whatever the hell Apple's video software was called. Disliked how the windows never opened up to a full screen. Like there was no "maximize" button, and how the buttons for programs were on the top left instead of the top right. I did, however, really like how there were a bunch if quick-launch icons on the bottom bar. That part was nice.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) Predicting Dunn to break out isn't really ground-breaking. A guy who has been consistently one thing for years, suddenly dropped off into an abyss, with no injury reason... pretty easy pick to be a likely comeback player in the 2nd half. I'm not saying it's groundbreaking, I am just pointing out a lot of people seem to have faith in this team and Dunn for the second half.

Being at Ball State, a campus that is like 90% MAC in our libraries and studios, I am basically forced to use MACs outside of personal computer use, and I don't like them. I 100% know how to use a PC, and there are a lot of things on the Mac that I just can't figure out how to do, or seem backwards for the sake of being different from PC. I'll never get a Mac.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) So out of the top 24 picks, all we are missing is 8,10,13, and 14. Not bad. We are the only team in MLB to have signed first 7 RD picks.

@jimcallisBA Jim Callis #WhiteSox sign 3rd-rder Jeff Soptic for $320k ($40.1k over slot). Johnson County (Kan.) RHP hit 100 mph this spring, still raw.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 12:50 PM) Sources are saying that Frolik will indeed be at the Blackhawks convention this weekend, which is a good sign that a deal could be done.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 10:11 AM) John Kruk believes the player to watch in the 2nd half is Adam Dunn. He thinks he's going to hit 20 HR's and drive in 60 these last 2.5 months. LOL Just watched Baseball Tonight's preview of the AL in the 2nd half, and Doug Glanville said the White Sox are the team to watch, and that Adam Dunn will break out of this and turn his season around.

Randomly decided to type "Viciedo" in to Twitter to see the results, and a lot of people were raving about his BP showing at the Future's Game. Appearantly he was just killing the ball, and even had a ball that could have gone an estimated 500 ft in BP...... http://eye-on-baseball.blogs.cbssports.com...297882/30572551

Mitchell went 2/4, 2 2B, 1 BB, 2 K Wilkins went 0/3, 2 BB, 2 K C. Sanchez went 3/5, SB Silverio went 3/4, 2 2B, 2 RBI, SB Semien went 1/4, 3B, 2 RBI K. Smith went 2/4, 3B, 1 RBI, 1 BB Ravelo went 2/5, 2B, RBI,

Charlotte OFF B'Ham lost, and no one really to note. WS - http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...ox&did=milb Kanny - http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...ox&did=milb Bristol - http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...ox&did=milb

Lol, it was decent. I wish the Sox had a reason to get love on here.

Each episode of Wilfred has gotten better and better.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 13, 2011 -> 01:42 AM) Hey whattayaknow? They did it. Yeah, but $5 for one night would be awful.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 01:23 PM) It is 100% all about the strikeouts. That's the entire reason for it. He's a more talented player than he's been so far, but if he can't cut down on the strikeouts, he's forever a AAA player. Yes, exactly. He is clearly very talented, but he doesn't hit for enough power to excuse the crazy about of K's. It's seriously the 1 thing holding him back from being a productive major league outfielder.

QUOTE (juddling @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 07:43 PM) If comedians took on video games....... Oh god, the Carlos Mencia one was PERFECT. f***ing hate that joke stealer.

Love that Stalberg is back. One of my favorite players.

Wow, sick play by Crain. That takes a helluva lot of athleticism.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:06 PM) It's not necessarily his fault people hate him. One peek at ESPN this week and you'll see why people dislike Derek Jeter. Maybe not as a person, but they just hate the idea of him. He's one of the most overrated players in the history of the game or at least of this era. Once again, not his fault, just the media's and the people who think of him as a god. Yeah, I don't question his character or actual person.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) I'll never understand the hate for Jeter. And Joe, you're really complaining that the man with 5 rings from New York is getting more attention than someone who's never won a World Series and hit 600 home runs in the steroid era? Oh, so because Thome never played on a powerhouse team that buys championships, then his feat isn't as big of a deal, even though 4x as many people have reached 3000 hits than have reached 600 homeruns? And the fact that he did it CLEAN in the steroid era makes it even more impressive.

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 03:08 PM) Why is Ohman still out there? This game is over, bring in Santiago. Wasn't it only 2 days that he pitched 4 1/3 innings? I don't think Ozzie will push him.

LOL

And then that happened.....
