Sure it could. I remember the late 80s when everyone was an A's fan and the Giants damn near moved to Tampa. Each team has the hardcore base and the bandwagon fans. Giants have won 2 of 3 World Series. They damn well better be winning the bandwagon war right now.

It isn't the average fan the Giants are all that worried about. It is the corporate dollars they are worried about. especially from Silicon Valley. Why buy a box at AT&T Park when you can get a box in town?

Voynov signs extension for 6 years/$25 million

The catch being while that may be fair for MLB teams, it isn't necessarily fair for the municipalities. Why should MLB in theory be able to prevent them from having their own franchise. At least that is what San Jose is thinking. Imagine if there were only the Dodgers and a city in Orange County wanted to have a team. Imagine the outrage that would occur. What MLB imho probably is terrified of is that via the courts they might lose the ability to have territorial agreements. What if MLB couldn't stop a third or even fourth team to move into markets like New York? I would expect MLB to apply enough pressure to the Giants to accept a settlement and allow the A's to move. It can't be worth the risk of this actually going to trial. IANAL though...

Hamilton cares now and is totally going to kick IP's ass.

No. You didn't do anything. That's the problem. Got it? Try to keep up!

It's because he cares. Kinda.

It's after 5pm somewhere.

Getting married and having kids have been known to make the career less important too. Readjustment of priorities is often healthy. Though trying to guess his state of mind from our distant skewed perspective seems hopeful at best and ludicrous at worst.

Please tell me you have XBMC on it!

Seems pretty nice. I like the UI and the functionality is nice. Seems to have a good list of known podcasts.

I wouldn't count out Microsoft yet. And I say this as someone who has frequently hoped for their demise. I mean if they lower the price of their console and correct their other stupid decisions then this war quickly becomes competitive again in a hurry. Remember this war will probably last seven to eight years. Things are going to change back and forth. And if nothing else Microsoft will just throw money at the problem. They are very cash rich compared to Sony. Hell they got a billion just sitting there to sign exclusivity deals. It's funny to think how average Sony's presentation would have been without Microsoft's help. It would have been: 1. A solid games presentation but lacking any real big surprises, especially when it came to exclusives. Sony though I'm sure is hold those exclusives back until later. 2. Finding out that PSN+ was required for multiplayer. Now I think if this leads to an at least Xbox live level of service Sony fans will be more than happy about this but still it isn't the best thing to hear initially. It would have been a fine presentation but hardly anything anyone would have been going goo goo over. And perhaps even a little less inspiring than Microsoft's presentation which had the better exclusive games shown. Sony should be sending Microsoft flowers for the gift they gave them.

That is a lot to make up for!

I am messing around with BeyondPod

Yeah sorry, I missed your last post then was like "doh!"

This is what I would recommend for the lower end market. Is you are patient you can often find these for well under $300 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001202C44

If we're lucky this will cause MS to reconsider some things and perhaps lead to a price war.

In the book it was common knowledge that she was pregnant, though she didn't actually go to the wedding. It is like they thought the book version wasn't terrible enough and wanted to kick us in the balls even more. She did seem to have a bit of a belly in the seen where they name the unborn child.

Even hidden under the ...

I wonder if they are basing it off of a mean, median, or a high water mark. Like SNL has some amazingly high points but it is the definition of hit or miss. A lot of the scifi too. MASH's first 4 or 5 seasons was amazing but they started running out of prime material.

Are we okay with spoilers if the spoiler tags are used properly?

Their power play in the playoffs was amazingly bad.
