HEY EVERYBODY
I need to know (and I’ll ask later, too, since a lot of folks aren’t here on Sundays) the following:
1. How many of you have problems with long gameday threads (load time, etc.)?
2. How many comments does it take before you start having these problems?
3. Are you having them while also running MLB.tv/Gameday/whatever?
I REALLY hate overflow threads because they’re little, ugly, and show in the Recent Posts section, while the Gameday Threads do not, but I don’t want, like, a majority of peeps struggling to participate, either. That would be really f’n stupid.
So let me know and I’ll figure out how to handle everything from this point on. Generally a game does not go by that one of myself, Z, duck, Stacey or 2632 aren’t around and can’t post a new thread.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
I don't have many problems
And I’m still on dialup, and I’ve got AIM, Yahoo Messenger, and Media Player on.
I've had problems..
Usually at 400-500 it starts to slow down considerably for me.. I have that problem with or without gameday on. Never keeps me from posting, though.
I’m still surprised that the issue hasn’t come up for other people on here… I have a pretty decked out comp.
What he said
Usually around 500, and IE7

running a 3-year old titanium powerbook with DSL (wifi)
running the gamethreads with MLB.tv streaming (800k) simultaneously. using safari as my browser.
no real problems. sometimes MLB.tv slows down, but never the game thread. Of course, with the auto-update feature, I rarely refresh the entire page.
not too many problems
it does get a bit slow around 500, but no biggie
however, i am having a problem where none of the pictures are coming up. avatars and everything.
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
I think that's new today

I've only ever had troubles
when I’m also running a RAM intensive program at the same time, like iTunes or something.

Around 450
My computer starts to take a bit to load, and I think that I have a pretty good one.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
Today's topped out at around 450
I think unless we’re at 400 by the 7th, we might try and avoid overload threads, unless it’s causing problems. If it is, post during the game, and we can do one if needed.

Yeah awesome
I didn’t have the problem today, but last night my computer was really not having it because Scott hit than walk off coupled with the thread being something like 600 posts.

I don't have a problem with them running at all
and I watch every game on MLB.TV.

Are....You....Ready?
I said…..are….you….ready? Then, for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home…..
It probably has something to do with that pitch he took off his foot yesterday.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
I think they said he twisted his ankle rounding a base

I'm about to go to work
I’ll be checking in with yall during the game. PLEASE GOD BLESS US WITH A WIN!

BP jerseys...weird.
I’m all for more orange, though.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Guess they'll try anything
to break the Sunday losing streak
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
Now we know why
Dave said to wear orange
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Oh they're wearing orange? Is that why Dave told everyone to wear their orange today?
I’m watching the end of the British Open. It would have been a nice story for Norman to win.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
Harrington is a good story, too, though

I'm just glad that cocky bastard Poulter didn't win

based on what he said about him and Tiger?
That was a little cocky, but I do think it’d be great for the game if there was someone who could consistently play up to Tiger’s level.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
No, wearing PINK PANTS to a major!!!
If you ain’t Jesper Parnevik, you don’t get to wear pink pants.

I can live with guys rockin' pink Polos

Is Burres growing a goatee?
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
was just about to say that..
he’s trying hard. rogain around the mouth maybe
good thing quiroz speaks spanish.
can relate easier to burres.
now calm down and get this guy out.
Can't blame people for not showing up, really
The O’s always lose on Sundays and it’s hot as balls outside.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
I would absolutely love to tune into an O's game one day and see a pitcher that's not absolutely godawful.
Throw some fucking strikes you pathetic piece of shit.
it's 95 degrees and humid as fuck.
I was just outside for 10 seconds and that was enough.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Yes it's totally disgusting outside.
I shall stay indoors with my air condition today.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
It's a good plan.
I plan on not moving from this chair for a while.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
I've got a playset to stain
but I’m think, oh, 7:30 before I even attempt that.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
That would take decades
Thing is freakin’ huge. The in-laws and their ideas (and gifts)....
(Not ours, but same design)
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
holy crap
that belongs in a city playground, not a back yard! ha ha
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
Ok Brian
That was fun. Let’s make the next few innings a bit less eventful
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
i won't bite..
i’m a burres fan. sorry bud haha
I'm considering going to the Bowie game tonight to see a buddy of mine on the Phillies and check out Weiters for myself...
but it’s really hot as fuck…
Oh yeah? Nope I don't think I've ever been to a Bowie game before.
The BBQ place is at the stadium or no?
Hell, Red Hot & Blue ain't that far away
if we’re talking off-site. Only about 20 minutes down 50…..
love their pulled pork.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
It blows
Andy Nelson’s or Red Hot and Blue away.
It’s been there about 7 months now, really really good pulled pork.
There are three things I never lie about, food, women, or money.
I will remember that
I’m gonna get to Bowie this summer, I swear.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Andy Nelson's
Is actually really really bad.
I figure that if it’s good BBQ you don’t need sauce, plain and simple.
I just love
hearing Gary on a Sunday.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
That was not anywhere near the outside corner.
I want to punch this ump in the nuts, too.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
I'm in favor.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
that "strike" was some bullshit

Dude, Thames got teh same call against him
All I ask is consistent incompetance, that way I know what we’re up against.

Jim...
Didn’t 3 Beers Gary just say the Tiggers pitching was horrid? Maybe that’s why they can hit well?
Dude, if Melvin hits another home run today
I am going to come to the conclusion that he’s been sprinkled with magic fairy dust or something.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
might not be too bad
aftter the sun goes down. Although it was so hot last night at the game, so maybe not.

Another Harry Caray quote:
“Booze, broads, and bullshit. If you got all that, what else do you need?”
burres pitching like his early-season form
when he was top 10 in the AL
i was kind of joking on the absurdity of that streak
but i still back this kid 100%!
point taken though
Like orange jerseys and black socks
Just like on Fridays I wish they’d wear orange socks with their black jerseys.

Goin' to Shea this weekend
but that’s not really the same thing. Figured I’d go before they tear it down…
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I really want to get to Shea this year
But I don’t think I’m going to be able to. The season is fast coming to an end.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
People
Always seem to hate on Shea. I’ve been to Shea, The Trop, Olympic Stadium, and never minded any of them.
Then again, MLB is MLB and I’ll watch it no matter who it is.
SkyDome sucks
No way around it. That is an ugly, ugly monstrosity.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
actually
was there a few weeks ago, not a bad stadium. not as bad as shea.
"We might as well just win this game." -Adam Jones
Then Shea must be BUTT ugly
because SkyDome when I saw it in 95 was one of the ugliest buildings I’ve ever seen.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
I've not been to any of those
Probably the “worst” stadium I’ve ever been to is old Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

I didn't mind it so much
of course I was only there for two games when I was 13.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
I want to
But don’t think I can make it. My record this year is 8-3. They should totally just give me season tickets.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
It even LOOKS hot as hell there

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE
RBI Double, to third on the throw.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
Wow, the Tigers are a bad, bad defensive team.

luuuuuuuuuke's a BEAST
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
that was a HORRIBLE decision to wave huff home
but it worked out
Decent throw, and
he’s out by a thousand miles, to quote 3DG from last night.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
That wasn't even a tough throw!
That was just awful. They would have nailed Huff.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
dang it, Luke
when that ball was dropped you should have been back at third.
"We're excited about the future, but we also want to be excited about now." - Brian Roberts, 07/17/08
seriously why did he stop?
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones

damn
he shoulda been bck on 3rd
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
DD was saying the other night
that they need to do a better job making decisions on the base paths. If you’re going to go then go, if not then bust your ass back to the base.

LUKE?
What were you thinking???? Maybe Samuel should have been yelling “GET BACK GET BACK GET BACK”
maybe Samuel sent him like he did Huff and Luke got confused
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
i'm sorry, correct me if i'm mistaken..
but isn’t it a third base coach’s responsibility to also participate in this situation? shouldn’t he have been yelling for luke to get back? after all, he can see the third baseman at that point..
but .. of course luke should have just run back asap to third..
The Shortstop Position
Saying they need to upgrade is like saying Chernobyl needed a couple of brooms and mops to clean up.

and there are two outs

Which Johnny Cash song?
I’d love a O’s reliever to come out to “God’s Gonna Cut You Down.”

It was
Folsom Prison Blues.
I also don’t like how it seems like the scoreboard needs to entertain you 24/7…
Of course, I’m not a fan of how they’ll play a song after a double or something, then continue the song for the next hitter.
I think Ramon Hernandez came up to bat to Surfin’ USA at one point.
I'm sure he was thrilled...

I don't really mind that stuff
between innings. But I don’t need to see Will Ferrell dancing up on the big screen when someone hits a home run or something. We’re plenty excited about the home run without that crap.

I wouldn't be too upset
If they did something like brought up Scott Moore and had him play 2nd and then had Roberts play SS.
Of course, Moore isn’t playing 2nd at AAA and Roberts might be traded soon anyway.
He's there
For his golden hands, obviously.
I think Fahey’s arm must be bothering him, because he can’t throw the ball, at all…even worse than usual.

I'd be nice if he could be a little more efficient
The Tigers are definitely getting their chances when he is going 5-6 pitches per out.
the tigers have a lineup full of great hitters
getting a solid 5IP out of burres would be considered a huge accomplishment in my opinion
2B Durham to the Brewers

This one's on DD
Burres should never have started the 6th. I guess Crow takes the blame for the first and second ball hitting, although, frankly, it’s not like we ought to expect much.
At that point it was a tie game
and Burres had already thrown 100 in the 95 degree heat. Who knows? If it had stayed close maybe they would have pulled Verlander sooner?

Who said that? You? We’ve already had two series with Boston and New York, two of the top three in your divison, so don’t tell me about strength of schedule. I just suggest to Mr. Trebley not to make promises like he did after the game last night.
Go Tigers!

You're real funny, pal
Who on earth said anything about strength of schedule? And who said the Tigers were supposed to win their division? Pretty much every baseball predictor around in the pre-season, that’s all. I don’t know specifically who off the top of my head. I do know that your team just got a split with a team that has half its payroll and a quarter of its expectations, and instead of looking at the reasons the Tigers are struggling (um, I don’t know god awful pitching?), you are blaming umpires and getting pissed off at another team’s manager for trying to instill confidence in his club. The Tigers are a $137M .500 team.

Well Tillman looked ok tonight at Bowie - wild as shit in the first inning.
Settled down somewhat after that. Their 35 year old closer pitched.
Other than that everybody looked pretty mediocre. Nothing to write home about.
