    Build my new PC

    I am building a new machine this fall. I am going with an AMD X670E/AM5 board since there is speculation that Intel is doing away with LGA 1700 and AMD has confirmed Zen5 will use AM5. Will probably splurge on a 7800X3D as I am not buying a new GPU (have a 3070 which I will probably replace when...

    Hi, I'm Kyle Schwarber and I hit bombs!

    Not to mention those two ghastly long hairs next to him. And that girl with them, I believe she had ear piercings!!!

    The Red Sox ARE good. So now what?

    Part of the problem is that '18 set a crazy high bar. Even '13 was a bit of a cruise to the postseason. The AL East will be a real dogfight in late August and September just like in, ahem, 2011. At least now we have a play in game so a 90 win season won't go to a complete waste. Buckle up!

    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    Wasn't Bay a constant trade binky here for a couple of years before the trade? I think people just put the immediate post 07 seasons out of their mind for some reason, he was such a good player when he was here and they cut bait with him at the right time.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    Unfortunately we have but one real provider option. We can get Frontier but it’s VDSL and I am not sure how far we are from the VRAD. My previous experience with them vis a vis connection stability was quite poor and that was when we lived in a much more urban area. For all their price...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    So just to share my experiences with Optimum for people living in lower Ffld county: I took my cable boxes to the Optimum store in Norwalk and discussed switching to internet only and what the cost would be. On their website new customers pay ~$45 a month for the 300 tier service and ~$75 for...

    Reserving Judgment... But What Did the Sox Do and How Bad Will They Get Hit?

    Anyone mentioning vacating titles is trolling. I mean, there are idiots out there talking about how MLB should force the Astros owner to sell the team and then require the team to relocate. It's like some fever dream revenge fantasy.

    Betts/Price to LA for Verdugo/Jeter Downs/TBA

    And not only that, he's managed to parlay the big spending into actual titles which a lot of other big spending teams have not been able to do. It sucks that the game has come to the point where a guy like Betts shouldn't stay in one organization for his entire career because one organization...

    2020 Playoffs: Who You Rooting For Now?

    One of my earliest memories of being old enough to ditch church on a Sunday was watching the NFL films sb4 episode, marveling at Stram's coaching... it's nostalgia I guess. I think it went Three Stooges episodes, NFL films episodes, then the early games, all while avoiding the concept of Sunday...
