No one wants Jonathan Sanchez

For those of you who used to visit my blog, BayBridgeBaseball, but have abandoned me because of my IE7 bug (which I only discovered today), you should fine it's now working. Also, you should switch to Firefox :)

CHROME!

I don’t think it’s that no one wants him, because there’s still some potential there if he can figure it out. However, I do think some people overvalue his trade value.

IE Kills Me!!!

IE is a five star sudoku puzzle
IE is the Sunday NYT crossword – in a foreign language
IE is a Rubik’s Cube with all the stickers removed and stuck back on in random places
IE is a chinese finger trap for my brain
IE is rebuilding the Empire State building starting at the top floor
IE is using duct tape – in the rain
IE takes the little bus to school
IE is full of tribbles
The casual user will never understand how f*@%ed up IE really is. IE pisses me off endlessly. And what pisses me off even more are websites that work well in IE but break in anything else because the designers / developers didn’t test in multiple environments and instead launched on the proof of it working in the inferior $#!t browser from the company that continues to force us to take it their way. And now there are rumblings that IE8 has serious compliance problems.

The good news is: IE was finally surpassed by FF at the beginning of this year as the dominant browser on the web. Do Yourself and the world a favor, use FF, Chrome, etc whenever You can and #*@k IE!

While I’d love to agree with you, where do you see FF being the dominant browser on the web, in terms of user percentage? Last I saw, FF was in the ~20% range while IE still has above 70% of the market.

I mean, obviously FF is the better browser, as is (as you said) Opera, Chrome, etc.

Just say “broken box model” to a web dev and we’ll start spewing hate on IE.

I certainly don’t. He needs to move to the bullpen.

The Giants need better chances to win from the 5th starter. With Sanchez having little to no interest why doesn’t the organization send Sanchez down to AAA to work on his command rather than just dump him?
