QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) The bullpen has lost so many games for us that it's just sickening.Yeah. I was thinking the other day how many games the bullpen lost in the 7th 8th or 9th (I think Jenks is responsible for 4 or 5 himself). We could very well be in first if they didn't. This feels a lot like 2006.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) i wana try and tell my boss im too tired to go to work tomorrow and when he gives me that WTF face, ill just say hey, im just Manny being Manny.I'm sure that if you were in the top 10 in the world at what you do, you could get away with it.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) Apparently everyone was at that game because I was there as well. I said the same damn thing and a few seconds later I saw maybe the hardest hit ball I've ever witnessed in person.Me too. I think that was the least surprised I've ever been by someone hitting a homer. I would've been more surprised if he struck out or popped out or something.

I hope Manny comes here, gives the entire team steroids, and they all start ripping bombs off kids' heads on the Fundamentals deck.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) The Padres are contending and A-Gon is under control for another year. He's not coming. Votto would be a surprise, but aren't the Reds contending as well?In first by 0.5 games.

Here's a bright spot -- Teahen with .292 avg and .404 obp. It'd be nice to see this from him the next couple years.

This is painful. I can't believe he'd be pitching this badly unless he was hurt.

I read that as "humping strangers in the street" at first. Thought you might like to know.

Another hit that barely dents the grass.

Lots of luck on Cleveland's side. Hitting bad pitches softly where no one is playing. Of course, it doesn't help that we only have one hit, but Carmona has been pretty effective since the first.

Netbooks are very slow. Definitely keep this in mind. I have a 10.1" Eee PC, and even running Arch Linux with Fluxbox is pretty painful when I'm trying to do anything besides surf simple web pages.

I preordered FFXIII, and can't wait until I can play it tonight (as long as UPS can actually deliver a package correctly). It's supposed to be pretty similar to X, which is my favorite in the series (along with IV).

Lake Michigan has 1,299,318,233,965,804.5 gallons of water. The moon has about 0.012 percent of the water in Lake Michigan.

al_magest -- I'll be picking up The Show at some point, and if anyone wants to play some MW2, SF4, Blazblue, SSF2THD, or MvC2, I'm up for that as well.

Yeah, I was playing Modern Warfare 2 last night on my phat, so I think I'm ok. Not sure I want to test that until this is fixed, though...

I do mind knifing when people teleport 10 feet through my shotgun blast and kill me. That just doesn't make sense.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it went for me. One minute I was like "hey, this is going pretty well, I kinda like this girl..." and the next thing I knew, we owned a house together. Also, is it just me, or is the reply text box not working correctly? I can't see my cursor, and no keyboard commands seem to work, besides backspace.

2nd_city_saint787: You're firmly in the friend zone. No doubt about it. You're either going to have to accept you're just friends, or move on and cut off contact with her for a while. Also, don't ever chase after one woman and one woman only. You seem desperate and that's not attractive. You need to keep your options open, unless you're in a serious relationship.

Beat single player Modern Warfare 2 last night. Finally decided to give online a try. Ended up playing until 4 AM.

Top Notch, Boston Blackie's, and Monk's. Poag Mahone's isn't bad, but I don't know why they bother asking you how you want the burger done, since most of the time they don't get it right. Medium doesn't mean grey on the inside, guys.

Absolutely not. There's no measurable evidence anywhere that shows ghosts exist.

QUOTE (Real @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) anybody have demons souls? love this game, currently lvl 106 Not yet; been meaning to. Picked up Modern Warfare 2 the other day on PS3. Finally joined the bandwagon. Working through the single player mode now so I have a good handle on the gameplay mechanics before going online.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 06:49 PM) I have the gamecube version and I love it. However they changed the battle mode for the Wii version and the reviews I have read have really scared me off. Im waiting to see it in a bargain bin. But the first version is great, if a bit corny. The active battle instead of turn based is awesomeIt's not that different, really.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) I was reading a review of the upcoming game called Fragile Dreams:Farewell Ruins and looked to the sidebar at the "other games you might like" list. I never knew all of those games were even out for the Wii. I like the anime style RPGs, I wish I knew they were released, I would have more of them in my collection right now. Fragile Dreams is one i have been keeping my eye on, Im hoping thats a good one. You might also want to check out the two Tales of Symphonia games (one on Gamecube, one on Wii).

Uninstall the drivers and all the stupid, useless extra software they install for you. Reboot, and plug the card in. See if Windows picks it up and installs drivers for it. If not, try hooking the card up to a machine with wireless access, and see if it finds drivers online. If not, reinstall Netgear's stuff and see if those work.
