My weak – assed wireless is cutting out so I’m missing the good stuff.
My card has no antenna – would it make a difference?

Indeed they do!
I have bundles of speaker wire from previous stereo installations.
Took one and jerry rigged it so it simply touches the tiny wire where the card’s antenna was, and BOOM! Five bars where there were previously only one or two!

I’m hyped for rapidweaver. Also, 25% goes to charity, so you really can’t lose. Well beyond the 20 hours from playing some sweet Guybrush action.
They may be revealing a MI2 remake during GDC! I’m excited.

MLB got tired of me refreshing the audio feed, so I missed it.
“An error has occurred.”
I don’t know if it’s my signal or the # of times I refreshed – which with the video was restricted to twice and then you were done for the day. So I guess I have to seriously consider the cash outlay for wired service since I impulsively bought the MLB premium package…guess you just can’t win sometimes.

They have selected video of ST games listed on the MLB-TV schedule, I’m assuming it’ll be the usual 24 – hrs – later accessibility of that avenue.

Matt Williams was a 3rd overall draft pick with a stellar glove who got called up at 21 after one bad season of A—, A-, and A Ball to fill an emergency need at SS. Bowker was a #100 overall draft pick (yes, where a player was drafted is significant) with no glove who got called up at 24 after 3 good seasons between A and AA to fill a need at 1B in ’08. At 24 Bowker had 10 good games in the only place that counts….MLB. At 24 Matt Williams was an All Star (1st of 5) and Silver Slugger (1st of 4) with 33 HRs and 111 RBIs. At 25 Matt hit 34 HRs and won his first of 4 Gold Gloves. At 25 Bowker got called up to take playing time from players on a tight-knit team and failed spectacularly. Williams and Bowker are both humans who play/played baseball. Meaningful comparisons stop there.
