Open Gameday Thread, 3/1
Let us never speak of that awful February again. If the Giants want to reach the Cactus League playoffs, they'll have to have a much better March.
My guess for a random appearance today: Jake Wald

I can deal with Mac hating from Linux snobs (although there was less of that post-OS X), but Mac hating by Windows users is amusing to me, because, dude, fucking WINDOWS.
Oh, god, I’m starting an OS war. Heaven help me.

I also take issue with Macs being more expensive and I see no benefit in paying more for a machine that I don’t like using.

I'm with you
I mean, Windows can be lame, but Macs really confuse me (I can’t find anything) and they’re so much more expensive. I would have to pay double to get a Mac that’s equivalent to my HP.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Vista is horrible and it makes Windows look even worse in these debates. I’m purposefully waiting to buy a new laptop until the new MS OS comes out, or at least until it’s beta tested so I can see if it’s worth a damn.
Macs really are confusing for no good reason. Although I’ll defend Final Cut Pro til the day I die. It’s such an awesome editing program and I prefer it over all the others.

I cannot wait for the new OS. Vista is dumb.

It really makes me glad I have my current sorta crappy laptop. XP is pretty decent, and god-like next to the shitfest that is Vista.

I don't think macs are confusing at all
I spose if you’re used to windows it might be, but for the most part I much much MUCH prefer my mac to when I have to go back to using a windows machine.
re: the confusing for no good reason thing – I feel that way too, but about Windows. A lot of this stuff is really just based on what you’re used to, which is one reason why deadly serious OS wars are silly.

exactly
I used to use windows all the time and had no problems, but IMHO the audio and video editing stuff on macs is way better, so I bought one and found out I loved everything else about it too
Very true. When a person sits down to use a computer, PC or Mac, and it’s a confusing and frustrating experience, it’ll leave a bad taste in your mouth either way.
Y’all will laugh at me but I really like Dell computers, and my next laptop will almost certainly be one. My boyfriend works in networking and that and he loves Dells too. So if my computer-minded guy says it’s okay, I’m down with it too.

Vista really took a bad hit from an ugly early release. It’s not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be. A lot of the things people complain about are things that would save people like my grandmother (who knows jack and shit about computers) from getting some pretty nasty viruses, and can be turned off if you know what you’re doing and don’t need your hand held every step of the way.
Just out of curiosity, what bugs you most about it?
When I use vista it just feels like all the shiny stuff is sorta fake and forced. I don’t think macs do the shiny stuff JUST to be shiny, it has an actual use. Vista just looks like they were trying too hard. I don’t really have any problem with how it operates, though.
yeah
i can understand that kind of thing (though i do find some of the shiny stuff useful, the preview when you hover over something on the taksbar makes watching videos at work way easier), but that (as you said) isn’t really a problem with how it functions.
It’s a resource hog too and that drives me up the wall. I’m the queen of multi-tasking and I buy my computers with lots of RAM and processing power so I can multi-task. If the fucking OS chokes on me when I’m trying to use it for what I bought the damn thing for, I get mad.

Depends on when the comptuer was released..
Take the computers from last year at this time that were trying to run Vista Home Premium on 1 GB of RAM and yes, they couldn’t multi-task because Home Premium just about takes up 1 GB or RAM to run. But when you look at computers that are the same cost as the ones with 1 GB of RAM last year, they have 4 GB of RAM. No problem multi-tasking there. I’ve had my HP Vista laptop with 3 GB of RAM for a while now, and while it was a bit to get used to a few things, I haven’t had any problems with mine. Even if I’m multi-tasking with Firefox and multiple tabs open, foobar2000 *forgot to start music earlier so starts (ahhhh…11/29/82 The Who) *, AIM, and Baseball Mogul open, I’m fine.

BACK UP YOUR FILES. Takes something like this catastrophic near-meltdown for me to finally realize that backups may be a good idea
NOW you tell me. Most of them were, so it wasn’t that bad. I’ve never owned anything but Macs. My first was a Mac SE.
I had nothing backed up
like 30 gigs of music and tons of videos and….yeah it was a crapload of crap. Buying a huge HD and I will religiously backup

That’s pretty cool. I mean, back then the main treatment was amputation (osteo is usually caused by staph and is pretty nasty) so it’s pretty great that he recovered.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Then it sounds like the book was accurate because amputation was definitely a possibility, but the antibiotics worked. I think that was in the late 1940’s.

believe the Dodgers are negotiating correctly with Boras. They are telling Boras bring us another team’s offer better than ours and if you can’t we aint budging
win win for us, the longer he doesnt sign the more likely he isnt in dodger blue. Frankly I just dont want him to be a dodger, I dont really care if he’s with us or not.

Because I can’t figure anything out. Everything is in a different position and they aren’t under menus that make sense. You don’t totally redesign a program that was working just fine and is an industry standard. Especially since if you were trained in Office since 1997, you could work any version out. 2007 is completely different.

considering we’re only a VERY outside shot to contend this year, it might make sense to blow a roster spot on a guy who might not be 100% ready for The Show, but looks like a solid prospect down the line… But I can’t see Sabean thinking this way, especially not with his job on the line in ’09.

i agree. I actually think spring training is bizzaro world where Todd Linden is a hitting god and Sandoval strikes out.
I expect the opposite of any unusual spring, bad or good.
Yeah. It’s ST and he has a guaranteed contract. No worries.

I assume you mean 2005-2006, because he was good in 2007 and 2008.

Giants only have to hang around .500 in spring
or they risk entering the season as a repeat sad sack
They don’t have to clobber or dominate anyone right now. But a run right here would be nice this early spring.

Lastest on Manny
According to Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times Dodgers owner Frank McCourt will not consider Boras’s counter-offer of two years and $45MM in non-deferred payments with an opt-out clause. The Dodgers have pulled their most recent offer according to the AP (via ESPN), so the two sides are back where they started.
Hernandez has a source who says Boras values $45MM in deferred payments at about $42MM in present value. Negotiations are set to resume Monday at the earliest.
If the metrics hate him AND the fans think he sucks at D, then he probably sucks at D.
I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.
Agian I judge defense differently. With a LF with his bat am looking for a defender who makes all the routine plays and throws. Admittedly not watching all Dodger games but the 20 or so I did watch with Manny in LF he made every play I would expect from a LF with the exception of one play. His throws were on line, he knew what a cutoff man was and threw to the correct base.
No way is he GG but he is more than adequate to play LF especially with that bat.
Manny DOES NOT make routine plays. He was better w/ the bums but even then I saw at least one Pablo Sandoval flyball drift past Manny without him even moving until it was already past him.
He does hit the cutoff man, though. And of course when he’s being Manny at the plate he more than makes up for his statuesque D.
/looks at Aaron Rowand
I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.
Hmmm
you say “differently” I say “wrongly”. Manny costs you runs in the OF. He literally takes away value as a player because of his fielding. He makes up for it with hitting, but that doesn’t change the fact that he harms his value as a player when he steps onto the field.
Pick em. He’s pretty terrible no matter where you stick him.
We have more guys that can play OF though.
I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.
He also pwned Jonathan Broxton twice in the ninth, winning two close games against the bums. Despite the comical aspects of his game I think he’s a useful bench guy.
I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.
I hate him less now, for that reason
Merely want to stick him with a left jab, or maybe a dinner tab
