Got in late
been watching for this half-inning, but wanted to wait until the second game thread to jump in because when the thread gets over 250 comments or so, it takes se4veral minutes to render on my machine. If I start off with a fresh thread, it loads OK.
3-meg DSL
It’s not a loading issue… it’s that it takes forever for firefox to draw the page. I don’t know if it’s a firefox issue or not, though.
I'm on FireFox
with a slightly slower DSL connection than you. I’m really not having the same problem. It certainly gets slower the close it gets to 500, but only by a few extra seconds.
Ever since they switched over
It goes slow as hell on mine to. Very annoying

well, thats not a great speed
but yeah it sould be able to load a thread..
how is your computer?
Gerald Laird is my hero.
for the record
im on a month old computer and fiber optic 15 meg download. i fear no gameday threads.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
That's awesome!!
Too bad I can’t get that in bumf*ck, Texas. Out in the middle of frickin’ nowhere.
Same here...
in Atascadero, CA. I’m only on 3-meg DSL because 6-meg isn’t available here… and speed tests show me as only downloading at about 1,725K instead of 3,000.
It is fast enough for me to do the 400K MLB.tv package.
wow.. I can do the 1200
and just have cable modem. Something is amiss.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on May 3, 2008 9:53 PM CDT up reply actions
Depends on your speed package
I should be able to do the 1200 too but then everything else would load kinda slow… I’m just too cheap to pay extra.
White-trash-cadero!
I have a friend who went to school in SLO. He taught me the alternative name of your town.
By the way, the loading issue doesn’t have to do with Firefox, or at most it’s something with your local installation of the browser (although I’m guessing it’s just your computer that’s having issues). I love Firefox, and it loads long gameday threads no problem here (I have fast computers and internet).
You should try to load the same pages in IE to see whether it’s a browser issue. If IE loads the pages OK (which would surprise me), I’d try to reinstall Firefox.
Good luck!
I grew up in Paso Robles
Home of the Bearcats… rival school, the A-trash-cadero Gay-hounds.
Of course, now I cover sports for the Atascadero News… mostly the Greyhounds. Funny how a job opening can change things, huh?
I built it 3 1/2 years ago
Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, 1 gig ram, Maxtor 7200 RPM SATA drive… dunno if more RAM would help (an upgrade would be expensive since I’ve got a bad RAM slot, so I’d need to replace the DIMMs in the good slots).
Maybe I could try it on firefox on the laptop… it’s got 1.5 gigs of RAM.
Maybe...the only real difference between us
is my dual core processor and 3 gigs of RAM.
you need more ram
desperately.
for 50 bucks you could significantly improve the general speed of your comp.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
They sell it cheap
at Frys in Dallas. www.outpost.com
I found some for my computer
two gigs of PC3200 at NewEgg for $65 with free shipping… might have to do that.
I found a 2-gig kit at your outpost/fry’s link for $60 but I don’t know the shipping cost.
whoa
don’t go spending money on RAM just for LSB.
seriously, try it without that ridiculously CPU intensive folidng thing.
Rare Gnats Sex
OK, just tried it
turning off f@h makes no difference, and IE is a lot faster.
I could try upping the RAM… could I reinstall firefox without losing my bookmarks or (most importantly) my saved passwords?
doubt it would help
but you can reinstall without losing those things if you use google browser sync extension http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/
i guess you could up the ram too but you shouldn’t need to. i am running the same system as you
Rare Gnats Sex
There is an extension
for FF called FEBE (firefox extension backup extension). It’s an extension that backs up extension, but it will also back up an entire profile.
Saved passwords, bookmarks, everything.
So I installed that backup thingie
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox… it appears to have kepy my settings without me doing anything. It also has all the wrong icons next to each web page in the bookmarks folder, like before, and it still takes all year to render a long LSB thread, like before.
Newegg rocks so hard
when I built my machine, Newegg is where I got every last piece of hardware. Cost me half of what the same machine would have been if I bought it from Dell.
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Once the finances allow
Actually, since it’s been three years, I’d like to wait until the Western Digital VelociRaptor drives hit the market and upgrade to a motherboard that supports SATA 300, then upgrade the RAM too.
Something else just occurred to me
I run two copies of folding@home on my computer… distributed computing project that uses my spare CPU cycles to study how proteins fold in the human body and sends the data to Stanford. After the game, I’ll try loading up the old game thread without the two instances of f@h running to see if it’s any better.
Client-side Issues
The new SB2.0 added some client-side Javascript for the instant page refresh, so if you’re having slow downs then the problem is most likely that your computer is just slow. This could be because of an old processor, a lack of RAM, or a slow HD.
Only about 48-50, I think
That’s what Gameday says, but that seems low…

To get back to
the Young to 200 hits post in the last thread.
he was at 29 hits after 30 hits (pretty sure on that). Now he is at 36 hits through 30 games. The offense also looks much better so Young is going to be getting more PAs. And on top of that, you have to pitch to him more with Bradley and Hamilton behind him instead of just Tex.
Young
If he has 36 hits through his first 30 games and he goes on to play 158 games, he will wind up with 190 hits.
by Randy Richardson on May 3, 2008 9:47 PM CDT up reply actions
If he continues hitting like he has now
then yes. But I don’t think Young has hit his best yet. He is generally the best during June and July and is currently hitting his lowest BA since 2002. I don’t think its crazy to think Young will raise his BA around .315 like he has hit at these past 4 years if not better.
Young
I’m one of his biggest supporters, I just think it will be difficult for him to get to 200 hits if he continues taking walks at this pace (and I’d rather he keep taking the walks).
by Randy Richardson on May 3, 2008 9:57 PM CDT up reply actions
he can keep taking walks
but after seeing him get to 200 last season, I’m not putting it past him to do it again just because he is taking too many walks. Last season, he wasn’t hitting at all and that was why I doubted him, having too good of an eye won’t make me doubt him.
We're ok.
Just keep it 5-2.
Hey, it could be worse...

big hurt
still not doing much hurting this year. too early to say hes done but im questioning it now.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
oh
i had murray’s PC wrong, he shoudl definitely be good for another inning (or two if he’s lucky)
Rare Gnats Sex
if two runners reach in the 6th... he's gone. i would think.
...maybe one.
by oc on May 3, 2008 9:39 PM CDT up reply actions
I am just scared spitless..
Benoit will get in this game somehow.
Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on May 3, 2008 9:39 PM CDT up reply actions
you should start warming someone up in the bullpen
because I don’t see him going past the 6th anyways unless he has a spectacular inning. First sign of trouble though and you can pull him
My prediction from the original game thread
Murray 6.1 IP, 6 Hits, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB’s 3 K’s
Pretty close so far
couple more Ks
and a hit would be fine for me though your IP can’t be true if that’s the case. Still an amazingly close prediction
well maybe a k would have been better than that
sigh.
ok, ive moved on. who else can we bring in..
Gerald Laird is my hero.
Look at it this way...
Your prediction in the first thread regarding Shelton’s first 3 AB’s was 33% correct. ;)
Okay
Shelton was hitting much better than Boggs at AAA.
But based on 10 major league ABs, Shelton blows and Boggs is the r0X0r.
The A's tv announcer just said.
“Danley got knocked a little bit unconscious”
Haha.. that is priceless.. how can you be a little bit unconscious?Hey, it could be worse...
by HighPlainsGrifter on May 3, 2008 9:43 PM CDT reply actions
man.. the Bogg's throw
beat the runner to second.
Not such a great tag?Hey, it could be worse...

If Boggs makes that damn catch
Murray has only one out left in the 6th with the bottom of the order coming up and only a man on 1st.
nice job, Nostrodamas
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
not at all
I’m pleasantly impressed
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Any chance we can send both Shelton and BB packing?
Bring up Gold if Davis isn’t ready? I’m tired of the 1b sucking air with no promise.
I'd rather have Whiffy at 1st
than either option. Yuck.

Ok I'm convinced
Bring up Davis! Just please get rid of Broussard and Shelton
Does Salty Call the game
or does Connor call the pitches???
Salty and Laird both call their own games.
They look to the dugout for situational plays the coaches want to call.
wow, that ball to 2nd got there in a HURRY!!
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
duran
did a nice job on the catch too. but damn, salty beat the runner by a quarter mile

Gerald Laird...
...would have gone back in time and prevented the runner on first from even reaching, thus making throwing him out unnecessary.
we're all in this together...
...if we’re all about the youth movement, ya’ gotta deal with the rookie mistakes…
he’ll shake it off…

Duran 's been nasty with the glove tonight...
2 sick over the shoulder catches and that was a really tough pick and tag.
Since when
does Young swing at the first pitch. Isnt he notorious for taking the first pitch?
Well those 3 ab's..
were just not very good or very smart.

when is he supposed to start pitching again?
later this month?
by JimCrankshaft on May 3, 2008 10:10 PM CDT up reply actions
Maybe sometime late this month, they hope
Right now, he’s trying to build up to 5 innings in Arizona. Once he’s there, they’ll send him to OKC or Frisco, and once he can throw 90-100 pitches, they say he could be an option for the rotation.
that was about as opposite as two at bats can be
4 pitch walk, 3 pitch swinging K.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
nooooooo.
a walk is as bad as it can get here.

I love Bradley more and more
with each AB. Unlike the rest of the team, he is actually taking some pitches. Results may be the same, but I’ll take patience over swiinging away any day.
It's funny
He looks like Milton a little, and his batting stance seems similar to Milton. It’s almost uncanny.
Not that he’ll be as good as Milton, though. That would be very suprising indeed.

yeah
I didn’t notice that too much, its hard to tell sometimes with the quick camera movements. Take your eye off it for a second and you can miss that. But still, he seems to be going hard after each grounder instead of taking a more laid back approach like it appeared earlier in the season
that last play...
...a little too laid back for me…
in the 8th inning of a 2 run ballgame…

I just noticed Boggs has been worth 3.4 runs (by VORP) this season already.
Cat and Byrd have combined for -0.7.
Oh, Man...
Not that damn whistle from the A’s fans again.
That drives me crazy.
good thing he didn't have a chair near him
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
It's Oakland
that guy probably spent his life savings on that whistle. He’s not letting it go to waste.
I think I'd leave...
...Wright out there for the 9th…
Wilson pitched yesterday and was shaky, and you’ve got a lefty followed by 6 righties in the 9th.
Wright has also looked good
this season and last out of the bullpen (minus that Tigers game). I’d be fine letting him stay out for another inning and let CJ and Benoit have an off day
Give CJ the off day
and tell Jack Benny to hit the road.
yeah
but you never know how chances he’ll get he should be able to go at least 4 days in a row
by blueballlefty on May 3, 2008 10:29 PM CDT up reply actions
No, he shouldn't

What do you think Salty's reason for the one knee squat?
Give the pitcher a better target? More comfortable? Cause he’s very inconsistent in doing it. Doesn’t really seem to be a pattern.
And isn’t that something Pudge does if I’m remember correctly?
it's the old Tony Peña squat...
...did it all the time with the BoSox
by oc on May 3, 2008 10:49 PM CDT up reply actions
Pretty much everytime he did it
it was a low pitch. It may be his way of slappin the ground with his glove.
This road trip has started the same as the last one...
when we won two in Toronto, but lets hope we dont lose seven games in a row after this.
GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the best part about this win...
...is A.J. Murray.
when your team is forced into calling up two minor-leaguers for consecutive spot-starts… you’d be happy to walk away with one win. now, we have a chance for two.
and don’t look now. but our three most consistant starters take the hill in Seattle.
if the pitching holds up, we have a chance to play some good consistant baseball on this trip.
Okay, everybody...
Time to celelbrate, so… cue the Indiana Jones theme again:
Da-dada-dadada… da-dada-DAdadaa…
I am impressed with Salty.
I think he got he a hit today but the important part but his defense and calling the game were impressive. Not only Salty but Laird has been good the last few games calling the game. Salty has his targets down in the zone most of the time which will never hurt a pitcher.
Just got back from the Coliseum...
Final tally:
4 dogs
3 nachos
4 ice cream sandwiches
6 sodas
2 bags of peanuts
1 AWESOME RANGER WIN!

Well stay active because it’s easy to just want to sit on the couch and not do anything. Thankfully I started working out when I was 20 and have been doing it every since. And I’m glad I did. Maybe you should start working out, it’s a good thing to get used to and the results are always nice.

Yeah, I'm
6-4 but I just had a fitness thing and they said I was 6-6 which is bullshit.
I need to start working on my vertical and working out again. I do a bunch of free weight stuff but that doesn’t really work that well.
What are the best exercises to do with weights? Is bench overrated,? Seems like people concentrate on that way to much…
Say your sorry to Ron Washington
wow I had no idea you were soooo tall..
Miley is going to look like a midget next to you. Well at your height and age it’s going to be hard to put on weight until your metabolism slows down. But yes stick to the free weights and do the power movements to add strenght and size – although the size will be a slow increase until you stop growing. By “power movements” I mean..
chest- bench press
shoulders-shoulder press
legs- squats
back- pull ups
biceps- straight bar curls
triceps- close grip bench press or dips
Doing like 5 sets of these twice a week is a good start and then you can compliment it with other things as you get stronger. I’d do like 6 to 8 reps. on each exercise, if you can do more it’s time to increase the weight and before you know it you’ll be a lean mean fighting machine.
