    4G Android phone megathread

    I'm eligible for my upgrade this coming week...any note 5 users out there that can give me a quick review or opinion? I currently have a note 3 and I like it but it's slowing down and producing a bad echo on many calls.

    4G Android phone megathread

    Dr Bretto, I have Verizon and never thought about it but if I call them what should i say. My wife has an iPhone 6 and I have the note 3. We are pretty happy with our phones but would love to save some money each month. What would you ask/say if I call them. Currently we have 2 lines...

    I also love the note [I have the 3] is there a reason you don't want the note 4?

    Worst Parent Stories

    I'm not sure how hard it is. He pretty much assaulted me and threatened me so he gladly accepted in lieu of us pressing charges. He later had his kid transferred to another school.

    Thanksgiving, Red Sox Style: Your Biggest Single SoxGasm Moment

    I wonder if anyone else would remember this moment. It was the first Red Sox game I ever attended and weeks before Rico Brogna had been traded to the Red Sox. For some reason I was a big Rico Brogna fan as a kid. In the 9th inning he hits a grand slam to tie it up. Everyone in Fenway was...

    4G Android phone megathread

    I use the stock android keyboard. I have only ever experienced it with Facebook mobile. I guess I could do the Facebook app but don't use it often enough to make me want the app...plus that whole messenger crap

    4G Android phone megathread

    Here's an odd issue I have been dealing with. I don't use the Facebook app instead I use the mobile version. Lately whenever I type in Facebook the keyboard randomly back spaces every few letters making typing very frustrating. When it back spaces it doesn't erase the previous letter but...

    I had to call the cops on a father when his son was cut in JV baseball. He got in my face and was screaming and yelling like he had lost it. I told him that I threw 10 pitches to his kid and he swung and missed at them all. He later fought another parent at a wrestling match that year and got...

    Wallet/Folio Case

    With as big as phones are getting lately has anyone ditched their wallets and opted for a wallet phone case? I have been thinking about getting one but wanted to see if anyone had real world experience or a first hand review of one. I have the Note 3 for what it's worth.

    Softball hitting drill for 10 year old

    I am a high school baseball coach and I have found with most kids, regardless of gender, they have trouble feeling what they are doing wrong. I have also found that they can usually make the adjustments on their own if you put them in situations where failing to adjust will give them negative...

    iPhone 6 - BFD

    Jayhoz...do you have the note? I have the note 3 and honestly while I admit is ridiculously big looking as a phone I love it for everything else I do on it and I'm not sure I could go back to much smaller.

    Edes: JBJ down to AAA, Betts up

    A college coach of mine used to have a saying that "you can't fix the wheels on the bus while you are driving the bus". This is kind of my take on JBJ. While he is caught up in the season it's going to be hard for him to make the adjustments, especially the mental ones. He needs to pull that...

    Making the leap from rec to travel baseball - 11U season

    A good rule of thumb is "warm up to loosen up". Don't stretch until you have a little heavy breathing going or some light sweat. It's a good time to work on stealing and getting a lead and base running while you are warming up too. Have a coach act like a pitcher and have the boys get steal...

    4G Android phone megathread

    I bought the note 3 a few weeks ago and after I got used to the size I absolutely love it. Battery life is 2 full days easy at my usage where my DROID 4 barely made it a day. The things this phone can do are pretty awesome and the big screen makes things so much easier.

    build your own desktop

    Thanks for the tips. Right now I am using Pikko as a start menu replacement and that is working pretty well. I am not having a hard time finding stuff I'm just not a huge fan of the apps UI. Anyone know of any issues with office if I have a windows 8 version at home and a windows 7/xp version...

    build your own desktop

    Got the Lenovo Scratch and dent desktop I ordered and cant stress enough how perfect this thing is. Calling it scratch and dent is really misleading. I am loving how fast it is. The Windows 8 I am not crazy about however the learning curve seems pretty steep but I will figure it out I'm sure...

    Batting aid for little leaguers

    For 10 and 11 yr olds I would stick to low resistance. Equivalent to maybe a 3 lb weight. Tennis can full of sand works well on the cheap. There is some really god info on weighted baseball's being better than bands so may be worth looking into.

    Your Most Painful/Worst Loss

    The varsity baseball team I coach lost 2 to 1 in the state final last season. Had a lead through 6 and lost it in the 7th. 3 hitter homers 5 ft foul would have won it for us...strikes out next pitch. I can't help but think when we lose by a run that it falls on coach.
