has every game thus far had at least two game day threads?

If we are anywhere close to .500

Naw, we've had a couple games that have had just one thread

I think there have been one or two...

Silverlight
I’m tempted to try it out. It would probably be worth eating a month subscription even if it didn’t work that well. It seems OK when looking at highlights on MLB.com, but I have no idea what a full game stream would do to me.
It's worked for me
Media player tended to stop to buffer and would occasionally lose the game altogether… also, the newest version, if another window came up the screen would turn black and if I moved the window with media player in it a bit, the picture would come back.
It's pretty good
If you can get it working immediately. Lots and lots of people having problems with it.
Following the game @ 1.2M looks great, but will leave you behind in the game as compared to the rest of the gameday thread. If that matters to you.
I'm on 400K
Too cheap to get 800K or 1.2M and my DSL seems to be not so great… although with silverlight being smoother, maybe it would be worth the upgrade now.
At this point
I just want to be able to see or hear the games. Delays aren’t really a big deal to me.
Like I said, Silverlight’s worked OK for me on the freebie highlight vids, so I hopefully wouldn’t experience the issues you’re referring to.

I'm starting to think
Maybe, just maybe, if the starter gives up a bunch of runs in the first inning and then recovers to throw four scoreless… DON’T SEND HIM OUT FOR THE SIXTH.
You mean like they did Ponson yesterday?

I don't mind
You have to try and spare your bullpen any time you can have your starter go out and pitch an extra inning. As long as someone is ready to go at the first sign of trouble, I can live with that decision.
Isn't it your thing

Only if he gives up 2 runs before his first out...
I can’t remember now… did Padilla give up 2 before his first out?

Murphy makes that play?
I don’t think so.
The fact that it’s only tied at the moment, says to me that Duran did about all he could there.
He misplayed the wall a bit, that’s it.
I don't think anyone...
...makes that play, unless they are positioned a lot deeper than a RF is generally going to play against Betancourt…

murphy would
because he has psychic abilities. Hamilton makes that play too, but that is just because he makes Barry Allen look slower than me.
I agree
Duran just looked like Lancelot running towards the castle in MP’s Holy Grail… always running but never getting any closer…
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Well, he didn't get a good read going back
And he bobbled the ball – but he was positioned in too far, so it’s true, it’s unlikely anyone makes that play. But someone else might have had a better chance to make that play, that’s what I’m saying.

WTF?
Then there’s the issue of safety. About 8.7 million residents live in the state and many of them, including more than one million senior citizens, have little experience in pumping gas. Assemblyman Francis L. Bodine® said this is one reason he’s opposed to the idea. Plus, “If I’m dressed up, I don’t want to get out and smell like a gas pump,” said Bodine, who represents the Mount Laurel area near Philadelphia.
It’s not rocket science, and that quote is just ridiculous.

One thing that just occurred to me
Do they have 24-hour gas stations there?
Here in California, many stations lock up at 10 or whatever, but leave on the pumps, which have card readers in them.
i personally like driving through NJ
and remembering that it is full service and that I don’t have to get out of my car. However, it should not be illegal.
Rare Gnats Sex
i used to drive to AC
and I always had a ritual that I would need gas on the way back. Exit #2 on the pike, drive about a mile and fill up at one of the stations. It’s nice to have someone else pump your gas after you’ve lose a couple hundred
Rare Gnats Sex
Thing for me is...
I’m very specific about how I do my gas. I pump on the slowest setting the pump will do, and once it clicks off the first time, I do two more clicks. My guess is the gas station attendant will have it pump as fast as it can (sending more vapor back into the station’s tank) and not top it off at all.
they do the automatic fast one
and top it off a lot more than I ever would. They click at least 8 clicks passed. I always wondered about that.

a little off topic,
but that made me realize that theres a pretty decent chance Hamilton could be in the HR derby this year. That would be really fun to watch
that occured to me the other day too
id love to see that.
given his huge lead, its a pretty good chance hammy is leading or top few in rbi coming into the break.. he should be able to get in given the relatively high interest in him.

That contest seems to screw up with the participant’s swings every now and then. If Ham slumps, we’re screwed.

and i avoided a “+1”
Hank Blalock
comes to mind

and it took him 2 and a half years to recover from it?
come on man. hank slumped.
ryan howard won it and then won the mvp with an incredible second half. most of the players in it are all stars who continue to be so. some slump in the second half like a big chunk of mlb players do.
hammy swings for the fences in batting practice, he might as well do it in a derby.

The Mariners need Felix
To go a Halladay CG tomorrow. They really have no choice but to have him go and bail their bullpen out of this game.
you should see the Rangers taking alot of pitches tomorrow

Meanwhile, for the first time in recent memory, Max Ramirez did not reach base.

I guess...
...Washington figures this is as good a situation as any to get him into a game…
I probably would have used Saltalamacchia, though…

Okay
Is it my imagination, or does it seem like the Rangers have been on the other end of about 100 of these games in the past 5-6 years?

you're not imagining things
I like being on this side of things, though…

it's a strange feeling
being on this end. You almost feel bad….

TAG: “Ibanez is no ordinary lefty.”
He’s got a 650 OPS against lefties this season, and had a 650 OPS against them last year.
He sucks against lefties.

Another non-save situation
Another crappy performance. CJ needs to learn how to pitch without the adrenaline rush again.
