To be honest, one of his homers was so low that it was practically golfed out.

:-s

It's still weird for me. I can't help it.

Hey hey hey...WGN has a silly logo and slogan, and plays a lot of bad movies, and tv shows...but lets not say something we regret about Roadhouse...

I hope I'm not late to the party on this, but HA! http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/sp/v/mlb/players_l/20080402/7812.jpg

Just let it go, man. It's the Social thread and it's all pretty much on the same topic. If there are other similar topics in the social forum, they'll be locked/merged too. This is not a new procedure.

But there was a need for 5-6 threads to follow the MLB draft? ;) MLB has a draft?

I know the thread has a Bulls slant, but there's a lot of general NBA draft discussion already underway in this thread...lets keep it there. No need for two threads to follow for this... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=48652

You think Cleveland is going to trade CC within the division? I don't.

2007 Cubs +62 2007 DBacks -20 The Brewers don't have the benefit of playing in the NL west.

I think that's happened like once... Your probably right. I think it was Cook with Colorodo. The difference there being that The Rockies sucked because of injury. The Orioles may be above .500 for now, but evryone knows they wont be going anywhere any time soon, especially now that the Rays have burst out of the celler. Do the Orioles know that?

You're free to start a poll. Ultimately of course, it's Tim's decision....

If you get a chance to say something, see if he'll do a Q&A chat on NSBB. Or at least check the site out.

Not to beat this to death, but how is this different from someone pasting a youtube link on NSBB? What I pasted above is basically the same thing. Ok, lets say in the Soccer thread, so and so posts an embedded youtube video like you explained. When I go to that thread, not knowing that the post is there, my computer will download at least the player and the initial image file, or the swf, or however that works...the point is that it's downloading some kind of content from youtube.com. Only here where I work (I don't know about others, so I won't presume to speak for them, but they've indicated concerns as well) anything from youtube.com is blocked. So I'll get a red x as the content won't download, and my userid gets logged on the proxy for each one of those. Currently nothing on NSBB is blocked (if I have avatars and sigs turned off) so I'm ok. But I would have to stop coming to NSBB at work if these were allowed. The URL's are just url's. If I go to a thread and see that a youtube.com URL is linked, I can skip it and if I really want to see it, go to it when I get home. Images sometimes can be an issue, but that's a risk I take...it's not often that they're blocked, and so I'm not terribly concerned about it. But videos are a big no no due to bandwidth issues. I'm not suggesting that site policy be made specifically from my concerns, but that's why I personally don't want to see this.

Youtube.com, and all content from that site, and other video sites like it, are blocked where I work, and from reactions from others, it's blocked there too. It doesn't matter whether it's playing or not. For example, when I do a google search, I have to be careful, because any youtube links show thumbnails that are blocked for me. It's still content from an unapproved site that's you're forcing on people. There's no reason to do that, when a URL will suffice. If it's just me, that's one thing...but others seem to feel the same way about this. I can't speak for Tim though...this is just my opinion.

Is embedding a video different from pasting the link? I'm pretty sure there isn't a difference. Yes. Embedding the video means that the video loads in the forum. Pasting a link gives you the choice of whether or not you want to view it.

I know I said this somewhere earlier in the year, but it's funny...Lou eventually comes around to the right ideas, but it sure can take some time for it to happen. Better than not happening at all, but this should've happened long ago.

Is that 3 games in a row with back to back HR's?

Just playing some devil's advocate here... Didn't we say that Rich Hill was just in a slump too?

Use the postgame thread for this kind of stuff...doesn't really call for it's own thread.

Where's D-Lee? I'm also not seeing Fuku.

I find your lack of faith .....disturbing.

My wife recorded the Len and Bob call, but if someone doesn't put the Hawk version on the web somewhere, I'm gonna be upset.

Gah...I'm at work and missed it...someone better put video of that homer and the Hawk silence online somewhere.
