    2019 MLB Season

    We are just hours away from the first regular season game! Sure it is in Tokyo, Japan but it counts as an A's home game. I'm hoping the Cubs can catch fire this season and bring home another title. Go Cubs Go!

    2017 MLB Season Thread

    Season starts tomorrow. First time in my life that the Cubs are the defending Champions! No National League team has repeated since the 76 Reds so the Cubs have a lot of history to overcome. Go Cubs Go!

    NFL 2016-17 Regular Season Discussion

    The last of the throw away games is Thursday so we might as well start talking about the real games. This might be the last season for the Raiders in Oakland so I hope they make it a good one.

    2016 NFL Off-Season Thread

    We probably should have started one after the last regular season game. Lots of cuts should be coming up as teams dump salaries.

    2014-15 MLB Hot Stove League

    Lot's of off-season changes have already taken place. The Twin's fired Ron Gardenhire, he shouldn't have a problem getting a job if he wants one. Perhaps he'll end up with the D-Backs. I have heard Dusty Baker mentioned as another candidate for the D-Backs also.

    2014 MLB Regular Season & Post Season too!

    We're just a couple days away from the start of another season. Seriously not a big fan of the overseas games. I wonder if the Cubs will be out of it by May 1.

    Rush review

    I know a lot of people will automatically pass on Ron Howard’s Rush because they have no interest in Formula One racing, those that do are going to miss one of the best movies of the year. Yes it is a one of the best racing movies ever made but it is so much more that it would be unfortunate to...

    SSD Recomendations

    I would like to add an SSD to my desktop computer. My motherboard and the case have support for it so I figured why not try it and see how it goes. Any comments and recommendations from those of you that are using an SSD as your boot drive would be greatly appreciated.

    2013 MLB Season

    Sunday is Opening Night (it should be day but that is another discussion) and it is the Astros first game in the American League. I’m going to miss having the Stros in the Central since they were the only team worse than the Cubs.

    2012 MLB Regular Season and Post Season

    Well the regular season starts today, let the games begin. It doesn't look like it is going to be a very good year for my Cubs, nothing new and I didn't expect much from the new leadership in year one.

    HBO's Game Change

    It's another well made HBO film that is worth a watch. Moore, Harrelson, and Paulson gave terrific performances and the movie does a good job examining the behind the scenes workings of the 2008 McCain campaign. Edit: foolish me can't get the name of the film correct. Mods please correct. Thx

    2011-2012 Hot Stove League

    Since so many transactions are already taking place we might as well have our yearly Hot Stove League thread. As for the Cubs getting Theo Epstein, they better not give up any real talent for a GM since there are plenty of good GMs to be had without giving up any players. Obviously the next move...

    The Closer: Season 7

    Is anyone watching the final season of The Closer? I've been a big fan since the beginning and I'm kind of sad to see it go but nothing lasts forever. I enjoyed the first episode and I liked how they took care of the administration change. The resolution was good for Brenda and Pope but Taylor...

    MLB 2011 Regular Season

    Ok teams are starting to break camp so it's time for some baseball. I'm going to take a guess at the NL playoff teams but I'll go with the safe picks. East Phillies Central Reds West Giants Wild-card Braves Although I picked the Giants they are probably a team that is one or...

    I have a new computer with Blu-Ray drive and have no idea which software package to purchase to enable Blu-Ray play back. Any recommendations with Pros and Cons included would be appreciated. Here are the specs of my PC just in case that would be helpful. i7 950 processor 4 GBs...

    Rizzoli & Isles Season 1

    I've enjoyed the first two episodes and definitely will continue to watch. Certainly it is a tried and true formula but the leads are interesting and McGill is a wonderful character actor.

    Netflix to delay renting new releases for 28 days after release

    Neflix has entered into an agreement with Universal and Fox to delay renting new release Blu-ray and DVDs for 28 days after they are released. Avatar will be one of the first films to be affected by this new policy. I admit that I do not know the current state of Blu and DVD sales, are they so...

    2010 Baseball Discussion

    Teams are breaking camp today so it's time to retire the Hot Stove thread. It's another year and it will probably be another year of disappointment for my Cubs. I think they will finish 2nd or 3rd in the Central.

    Starcraft II

    I played the first campaign level this past weekend at Blizzcon and really enjoyed the game. Although it will not be out until next year it's shaping up to be a good continuation of the series.

    Flat Screen Recommendations

    I’m in the market for a new flat screen monitor. Anyone have any recommendations? My video card is the ATI Radeon x800XL and I like to play games from time to time but I mostly use the system for business type activities. I was thinking of something in the 20" or larger range...
