The cables are the WORST! I know enough not to spend stupid money on a HDMI cable, but the technology is very confusing. Ya got yer 1.3, yer 1.3a, yer 1.3b and guess what? They are all the same! Load of crap. There’s no reason why this needs to be so confusing. That’s why so many people shy away from technology. Hell, I didn’t even wanna buy this player because I know the format will be dead in 5-7 years.
The Gold Box deal of the day is Band of Brothers on Blu-Ray.
I think I am going to get it.
Love the eBay. It’s a great tool and not just for making purchases. Also for research.
I purchased my Reyes Throw Back The Clock 1986 jersey off of there. I still have the receipt, but I can’t remember what I payed. All I remember was that it was a steal. Totally authentic. Bought it from a guy who got it as a gift and just wanted to make a few bucks. Was willing to sell it for less than MSRP. Even with what he required for S&H, I think I was still in the black by about $35 bucks.
BoB on BluRay is glorious
yep!! there’s a very good reviewer who tracks this shit on Amazon and warns people….thank God I bought the $10 HDMI cables she recommended instead of spending more….Doc actually tipped me off to the whole HDMI cable scam
Got it on DVD. God I hope those things will continue to play on whatever formats come out in the future. I really don’t care about the crystalist, clearest image possible. DVD image quality is just fine for me. I can’t go out replacing every damn DVD I ever purchased with a new format! I’d have to take out a second fucking mortgage!
Christ. I just wanna watch my movies.
This hotstove offseason has definitely been one of the worst to date in terms of the amount of talent that is available and the inactivity thus far. Are all the remaining big name free agents (Ollie, Wolf, Garland, Sheets, Dunn, Hudson, Abreu, Manny, etc) waiting on Ollie to sign or what?
What is the hold up?
Way to hijack, T!
Yeah. I’m getting antsy here with this offseason.
I’m not and I refuse to (with certain exceptions). If I had the spare change, maybe.
I also have a ton of VHS tapes that I should transfer to something (?) one day.
for most teams, it’s a little thingy called the recession :)
Gotta split! New Fringe! And yes, I watch em as they show em (commercials and all). Very old school of me. ;)
So are all the players just going to hang out to the 11th hour in the hopes that some team ponies up what they (the player) deem themselves worth?
I’m really starting to think the Mets will end up with Sheets or Garland on shorter terms - and decide to pass on Ollie Perez.
Boras can get especially evil when teams don’t want to spend a lot :)
it’s very odd, Super….we were talking about it the other day, I mean it’s 4 weeks until spring training for Pete’s sake!
I check alot of the baseball sites daily and I have read that the D’backs recently offered Garland and Wolf like $4M for a one year deal. But other than that, I haven’t even heard of any of them being offered anything.
g’night Stork….
I gotta head off for a bit also, might be back later
I do not want Sheets unless he comes paired with another quality SP option. Niese is not that quality SP option.
I agree..just hope it includes Sheets or Ollie and its not Wolf and Redding…that would be a nightmare.
I wanted Lowe, but not at 4/60…dont want Ollie at 5/60…that would be him at full potential, not what we’ve gotten. Sheets is a worthwhile gamble to me at 2 years
Bottom line, we have an owner that doesnt really want to win badly enough, he wants bargains and to win so that he makes money. We arent even expanding payroll, yet they are definately going to have more reevenues. And we are missing a chance to dominate.
A dominant #2 starter is more valuable than a setup man, to me this makes the whole Putz deal stupid.
I’ve read that Freddy Garcia is suppose to choose among us the W/Sox, and Rangers this week. If he chooses the Mets, I wonder how that will affect FA signings?

alllo gang ,,,,,
Hey Bob. How’s it going?
im hanging in chris ,,, i really hope obama can get this countrty movinmg again ,,,,,, hmmmmm is atlanata all fired up for him ???
I guess. Where I live, not so much. Only like 25% voted for him here. It’s quite sad the division that is here ompared to mainstream America. I’m very excited. I had never given to a campaign before so I am happy that my money didn’t just disappear in a losing campaign. There are things I don’t agree with but I agree more with him than the previous guy.
hhmmmmm welll yeah the country really needs to rally behind him,,,, that would be a nice deal for the nets huh ???
I just read this breakdown on the NYPost website.
I guess it’s safe to say that we could do a lot worse than Redding:
larry hughes went to HS with my brother…dude has been to my parents house for dinner…and my mom used to drive him home from bball practice…he should at least buy my brother a Hummer or something.
to be honest figgy was not that bad ,,,, hmmmm i think he is just crafty enough to help out as a 6th or 7th option ,, and stokes too had his moments last season ,,,,, butt OMAR WAKE UP SIGN SOMEONE FAST OK ????
lol @ the post not considering Pedro the fifth starter last yr.
Honestly, as I was talking about a few days ago on here, I have a whole new respect for the Marquis’ and the Vargas’ of the world
HMMMMMM where is claudio vargas now ??????
CANBERRA, Australia – Two desperate, dehydrated men found bobbing in a bathtub-sized cooler off Australia told authorities they spent 25 days adrift after their fishing boat sank, officials said Tuesday. There was no sign of 18 other crew members.
The men apparently lived on monsoon water and fish chunks stored in the cooler.
Authorities were amazed that the men, from the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar, were spotted by a routine customs service flight that patrols for far larger craft such as illegal trawlers in Australia’s northern waters.
A photograph taken from the patrol plane shows the men standing shirtless in the pink cooler — a waist-high container often used to store freshly caught fish — and waving frantically.
The men, 22 and 24, were rescued by helicopter Saturday, Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Tracey Jiggins said. They were treated for dehydration and released Tuesday.
“These two people being spotted is miraculous in itself in the huge expanse of ocean after drifting for 25 days,” Jiggins said.
Authorities have not said what the men ate or drank during their ordeal. Media reports have said they survived on fish chunks that had been stored in the cooler and rain water that pooled on the floor.
The Dodgers signed him. I honestly don’t think there is a better “Fifth starter” out there. He takes the ball whenever, his team is in the game and he is consistant. Trust me when I say, we had the perfect 5th guy and we don’t have him anymore. People haveunrealistic expectations out of their fifth starter. I was one of them. Looking at that slot in the rotation around the NL, I know now that I was wrong.
Do you care that, considering Pedro as a 5th starter, that the Mets were one of two NL teams that saw their scrub pitchers post a .500 record or better.
hmmmmmm i hear ya ,,,,, i really dont want pedro back do yu ???? i really think the move is ollie if its 3 years and if not garland ,,,,,, unless you roll the dice w/ sheets ,,,, butt we the have many 3 tyep guys benind yo yo ,,,, like i said omar better wake up,,,
oh i forgot omar got this guy ,,,,

Fossum also won the C. E. “Pat” Olsen Outstanding Pitcher Award in 1999 and was a second team All-American in 1998.
bbbbbeeeep,,,
i think an interesting question is what the mariners will do w/arb el aaron heilman. supposedly, the m’s are over-loaded w/starters and want aaron to compete for the closer’s job. i doubt aaron is interested in that whatsoever. meantime, he is arb el & could easily command 2 mil or so, which the m’s ain’t got to pay him..
my guess.. aaron will be traded and want to know where i predict he will be traded? CUBS!
hmmmmmmm would he start w/ the cubs ??
Cubs have better options. You just want the Notre Dame guys together
i think the #5 job would be his for the taking…. with jeff samardzija in the mix, as well..
the Chicago Fighting Irish hah hah!!
hmmmmmmmm i wish him well was never going to work here ,,,,,ha ha why would they trade for him talk him up the dump him ???we will see but i doubt it ,,,,
the m’s traded for him because they didn’t want to pay putz, either (the cheap bastards). i think they got aaron for either a closer or to turn him around in a trade
but thanks for the well wishes… and i agree his time in the blue & orange was over…
ok ok gnight cust and chris,,,,,,gnna watch the daily showm,,,
