This too shall pass

Susan/Circle:
Ah, Jesus, swept by Tampon Bay? C'mon.

Mike:
Hey, now, let's chill a bit.

Mike:
Let's not forget that the 2004 Championship team was swept by Texas in May and was swept by the MFY's to staht July.

 

---

Mike:
And last year's Championship club was swept by Seattle in the June 5th series, was swept by Detroit in July, was swept by the MFY's in late August, and was swept by Toronto as late as mid-Septembah.

 

---

Mike:
These things happen.

 

---

Susan/Circle:
Frankly, I'm not really persuaded nor coaxed by comparisons.

 

---

Susan/Circle:
I mean a friggin' chimp shares 98% of the same DNA as a human, but last time I checked, a chimp's still a chimp.

 

---

Mike:
Yeah, well, head ovah to Reveah Beach this weekend and you may conclude the chimps got the bettah end of that deal.

(Shhh...I'm trying to sneak out a little early. Have a great 4th all. I pray to all that is holy we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday.)

[Bob]

Jeez. Early beer cart just announced.

Just when I think I'm out, they keep pulling me back in.

[Kaz]

LOU! You, big surly crab, you. Haha, I found you on Baseball Boss!

[Kaz]

Ok, first impressions on Baseball Boss are good. It definitely needs some improvements, bug fixes, etc. It's definitely just a beta at this point. They also didn't do a very good job of giving you a ton of credit/points so that you could just go wild trying everything out to see that it works. For example, you'll never be able to buy anything other than a pack of 5 cards, so who knows how the case/box stuff works yet.

Alot of the time, pages would half-load and crap out because the instructions were failing at some point. I couldn't see some guy's stats, etc.

Beat it to death and don't be afraid to complain in the forums. That's what beta is for. You won't be able to take anything you acquired during the beta into the live game. You'll even have to re-register again, so don't worry about card condition, etc. You can't fix it now anyways because that part has been disabled.

I played a little more than 400 games and came up just under 0.500 with my team. My best card was a Hunter Pence Spire card (dude was hitting 0.550+ in most every 5 game series I played). It'll be fun to see how everything changes when this goes live.

As usual, the day before big holidays I always seem to get loaded up with a ton of crap that must be done before the end of the day. So I haven't had a chance to do much the Baseball Boss yet.

Good to know you have been.

I'll try to get in there a bit over the weekend.

Meanwhile, I'm still plugging on the now long delayed redesign. All the design elements are in place, now I just have to port everything into TypePad. Hoping for an All Star Break go live on it. We'll see...

@ baseball boss:

Disciple of Dewey will take you all down!

Although having an h.b-esque work day so haven't quite set up the team. Seems like the perfect work day distraction...next to this subtle but vigilant site.

Have a good 4th everyone.

Heavy...long...sigh...

[This time last year I was drinking beers with Bob and Buckner-was-framed and Mrs-Buckner-was-framed and Kaz at the baseball tavern (and then more beers with Bob at the Downunder bar) and fireworks over the Charles and beating Tampa three nights in a row and, even, almost meeting the surly but lovable one.]

Another ... heavy ... long ... sigh ...

Happy 4th all.

sdu, don't worry, I'll tell you how any day here in Boston would be going for you right now:

9:00 AM - A/C busted because 3 90+degF days in a row right out of the gate in late May overtaxed it. SOooooo humid...gag.

Noon - Sun is not helping...

4:00 PM - Aw, man, so much to get done today still...take a peek at the radar...o.m.g. look at all the colors out in Worcester! It's like a damn rainbow crapped all over the Doppler!

6:00 PM - Finally! Finished most of what I needed to get done today! *ga-doosh* Damnit, where's Noah when you need him? Guess it's back into the office, I'm not going home in that mess.

6:45 PM - Holy crap, the sidewalk is dry already and the sun is out again...glad I'll have this last hour of sunlight to drive home with everyone else....ah, and the humidity hasn't left us even though the storm front went through...just like every day for the past 3 weeks. Nice.

9:00 PM - OMG, it's sooo humid. How am I ever gonna sleep?

This isn't like last year, man. The weather is absolutely detestable here right now.

[louclinton]

Then again, Lestah spins a beauty.

Ain't the glass half-full now?
