Just saw an ESPN sidecar the Nationals released Papelbon, never liked that guys attitude.
 
Saw another side car article where Dombrowski was asked if he'd consider a Papelbon return to Boston. Crazy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
...from what I read was that Paps actually asked to be released from his contract...how fucking dumb is that?
 
Did see that, was trying to find comments Scherzer made about that action but had to do the squeeze a favor so I dropped the ball on it. Probably have comments on Quick Pitch tomorrow AM.

Now Ron, please tell me you googled for those and didn't have those pics on your hard drive, lol!
 
^^^lol..no, I had to re-google them...but I knew they were out there...I remember them from the old rspn days.
 
Just saw an ESPN Article stating that John Lester has endorsed Papelbon coming to the Cubs if that team shows interest. They have Chapman what the hell else do they need.
 
Papsmear...!! ah, yeah I recall those pics, gave Yanx fans fodder to despise the fker papsmear.....

I'd wager Papsmear's gonna' have a hard time getting a job, even with RP's in dire need around the league....

LOL.... not even as an afterthought....

With Severino going back n forth this year, he's almost got as may "Free Fare Mileage Points" as Crapuano did last year. IMO, Seve needs to know he's got a roster spot in the Bronx, at least 'til years end. Seve in the pen??? maybe???

tho' I'd rather see Seve as a SP, I'd not hesitate to put him in the BP, IF Trashman has the tiniest inkling of obtaining Papsmear....that would be grounds for a riot, that would make the Boston Tea Party look like a red coat prayer 'kumbaya' vigil, as Papsmear is thrown in the Hudson....

...the acquisition of Capuano was another of those blatant contradictions to "the plan".

seem's there was a plan part deux, too....?


:clap::biglaugh:

I think the Accountant done forgot which revision of "the plan" Hal & his gopher are on, ntm- since neither have played with a full deck from day one, they too forget what rev they're on or s/b on...? At this point going forth, herein layeth:

"The Plan" - Part XXX aka - 'Infinity and Beyond' Part I of a continuing soggy saga, new chapter, new book, new players, same Owners, GM and Brass....

to be continued later....
 
My laptop died at 5:05 PM today EST. Anyone have any suggestions as to the best laptop in terms of
battery life, DVD & CD drives, and adding WORD for my writing. I am not very knowledgeable on
laptops. Thanks in advance.


Oh M G .........Please stay away from that poison prick! From a business point of view,
this is a no brainier!
 
...I prefer Macs myself...the build quality is second to none, the mouse/track pad is great, the operating system is more stable and they are essentially trouble free, (no drivers to down load, not a bunch of ongoing updates) and though they cost more new, they are worth more used. You can get a very good 2 year old Macbook Pro which is what I have for $400-$500.

...if you use the Chrome browser you might also want to look at Chromebooks...VERY reasonable.

...I'm sure that Tote will weigh in on this because he disagrees with me on this subject...lol.
 
your statement regarding macs was basically accurate up until around 2014/15. new windows architecture finally did what apple did many years ago....full redesign. macs do have updates and downloads all the time Ron, you just dont have a choice about it like in windows systems. hardware is good, but apple doesnt corner the market on quality anymore. Some really good Lenova models as well as Japanese/Korean made laptops.

i like your latter suggestion, chromebook or surface tablet w/ keyboard. Media Drives in laptops are features that are going the way of the do-do bird. If you need a media drive for files, I suggest use a portable/external drive and start converting your files to the cloud. Chromebook can your about any software now that MS Office has been reduced to Android Apps. For a little more power, the Microsoft Surface is considered the best all around solution.

I'm not a fan of 2nd hand or refurbished computers because they are a constant security risk.

Check out CNET for reviews like this:

...hmmm, only up until 2015?....CNET, which you referenced also says this;

http://www.cnet.com/topics/laptops/best-laptops/


...but no matter how you slice it, whatever is best for each individual is ultimately up to them.



...just so my meaning won't be misconstrued, what I'm saying Tote, is that as far as computer preferences, not everyone needs the ability to do spread sheets, not everyone plays video games, not everyone uses the laptop for work and so people's requirements vary depending on their individual needs and daily use.
...for me, it was about reliability and simplicity and I prefer the OSX operating system and a Macbook laptop...but that's where Apple and I part ways because where cell phones are concerned, even though I've tried the Iphone and I didn't care for the IOS operating system...and I went back to my Samsung Galaxy and the Android format...like I said, everyone has their own preferences for their own needs.

my son sent this to me, this morn, talk of ironic synchronicity???

bwaaaahhhaaaaa!!!
 
Yup, all personal choices. Used them all, in various situations and needs. Just never been a fan of Apple, period. Apple people are techno trolls.

As for CNET, you can find a review to agree your preferences, just like reading RSPN lol!

Hybrids are the future, laptop when you need it, and media tablet when surfing playing or watching movies.

I've traveled 250k miles since Jan 2015, and the folks rocking the mac air and iPad combos are giving way to the Surface and Chromebook crowd. Largely because iPhone lost its edge to Android.

If you are willing to adopt a more comprehensive apple solution (laptop, tablet, phone, TV, iTunes and data storage then by all means go for it. But if you are only replacing a PC laptop and still have windows and Android based technologies throughout, mac laptop really doesn't add much value.

Used to like Dell laptops, but don't care for them anymore. Many other more reasonable choices.
 
...wait, Apple people are "techo trolls"?...gee, thanx for the insult and the broad but incorrect generalization. Do you seriously think that is the reason I prefer Macs, and do you seriously think that conversely, Windows does not have its own corresponding share of geeks?...c'mon Tote, you're better than that.

...you missed my point...like I said, I only used CNET because you cited it first...go dig up another source that pimps Windows based PCs and I'll "trump" it again with one that pimps Apple.

...as far as "the future", well, that is up for debate...but we are talking about right NOW. As far as your extensive travel, that's also irrelevant because you can travel the world many times over and you can ask both Windows and OSX fans why they prefer their platform and you'll get the same answer/s from both sides.

...and sorry, but in case you are unaware or in case you have forgotten, you can also run a Window platform on a Mac but you cannot run OSX on a Windows based unit.
 
My travel observations speak to trends, and those trends are backed up by market share data, apple has better competition.

You ever run your Mac on mirrors? It's an even cludgier windows experience.

Enjoy your hipster Mac while you sip on that white chocolate macchiato, soy, no whip and surf Reddit to compare Pokemon stats.
 
^^^Oh please, just climb off your high horse with your "travels" crap, as if that makes your opinion beyond reproach...without realizing it, you just admitted they are totally unnecessary because you just admitted that market data is readily available and so again, you are basing your views on your opinion, as am I.

..."market share"?...wow, you're now talking sales numbers as if that somehow is a yardstick for quality...and it isn't. Apple has never had the lion's share of the market, but that's not what we're discussing.

...and as far as your last sentence, it is neither accurate nor appreciated...that's twice in this thread you've done that...so you can take your condescending stereotypical comment and stick it in your ear.
