So what ya got on Ace of the Diamond vs. Major? I liked Major but couldn’t stand Ace.

Enjoying that picture...

Oh, that’s disappointing. I was hoping that it was some classic game that I hadn’t remembered. Year + Griffey is kind of silly.

Amazing introduction. What’s the significance of 1-7-0 for the visitors and 2-4-0 for the home team? I don’t recognize it.

“skiddish”? Come on, video-game-making company!

I know I’m late to the party, but why would a person use the phrase “male blacks” when the perfectly normal “black males” is available. “Male”, like “female” is an adjective and not a noun, so technically “black males” is incorrect, but it’s in common usage.

BTW, if you’re into Japanese Baseball, the Pro Yakuu Spirits series is excellent!

OH! JPL was Japan Pacific League? I’m familiar with seeing パ・リーグ and セ・リーグ, but JPL threw me for a loop completely.

Is JPL a known entity? I’m only used to seeing “NPB” as the name of the league. Does the overall national baseball organization go by “Japan Professional League” or something like that?

Nonsense! I personally do at least 200 texts a day. (No, I don’t. That would be insane.)

“We need more women, just because” is the kind of straw man that lazy thinkers use when they want to convince people that they don’t have to do any intellectual work. It’s not “just because”, and it never has been. Women buy and play video games, and are participating significantly in the economic market for video…

Non-solid state hard drives are pretty cheap, now. This Western Digital 2.5" (I’m assuming we’re talking about a laptop) drive is $48: https://smile.amazon.com/Blue-500GB-Mobile-Hard-Drive/dp/B00C9TECFO .If you want to use this machine for a while, you can spend a little more for more space. This 2 TB (4x 500GB) is…

I think there was agreement because you were clearly trying to be insulting and make your counterpart feel bad about themselves. They chose not to take the bait and instead played along, probably because they were amused by the situation. I think most of us reading along can see that.

The fans kick on when the CPU or GPU (the CPU for the graphics card) have high activity. Processors these days are smart enough to dynamically shut down some cores and run slower to conserve battery, so if the fans are going crazy, then that means there’s something running that’s causing it.

I just went to seven of the twelve NPB stadiums in September, and the domes are definitely not very special stadiums, even Tokyo Dome where the Giants play. My least favorite places were Kyocera Dome in Osaka (Orix Buffaloes), and Nagoya Dome (Chunichi Dragons), though Kyocera Dome has seat-back A/C which is nice in…

Yeah, we’re all concerned about that. That’s what the story is about!

Garrett Atkins, stole him from the Rockies in a trade in MVP 2004 on PS2. I think I gave up Arthur Rhodes or something for him.

I thought it might have been rice or something like that. I wouldn’t stand to reason that the whole cake would be meat. If it were, it’d probably be 3-4 lbs at that size, which at a restaurant, I assume, would be crazy expensive.
