i missed if sheffield was acquired from free agency or if the braves got anything for him? :blink:

no he was a free agent...the yankees/red sox rivalry is exciting and all, but im getting tired of them doing all the offseason work.. the other 28 teams need to get off their ass and make some moves. the braves are gonna be a .500 next year if they dont get to work soon

Another reason why MLB needs a salary cap...to make things more interesting. Hell, anyone could manage a team and get to the playoffs every year if you spend 100 million on players. I guess it is obvious that they are still missing something though if they spend all that money and lost to the Marlins.

The only way I'm accepting this is because it offers me the chance to see the Yanks lose another World Series to a team with 1/3rd their payroll. :D

Whos gonna beat them in the WS this year? Tigers?

If only it were possible for an AL team to beat another AL team in the World Series. I get your point though. :happy:

I hate how every one complains about the Yanks allways buying there way to the World Series, I hate the Yanks personaly but i dont hate on them for the fact that they have the money and that they have done the right thing in the last decade by assembling a winning product and putting something on the field that people want to watch and when people watch that creates more fans more fans equals more money in the long run for the Yanks so i dont like the fact that they go almost every year but they all ways make the smart move and b/c of it they have fans and big time tv contracts that makes them a nice chunk of money so you cant hate on some one for makeing money and spending it to make a product aka team better!

Great. Let's have the Yanks make more money. At the same time, let's have the other teams in league lack the ability to pay even one superstar (such as Milwaukee having to give up Sexson recently) and consequently not be able to field a contending team. This, in turn, results in empty stadiums, further enhancing this problem. This is why I'm for sharing of revenues across the MLB, so teams such as the Royals, Twins, and Brewers can have a fighting chance.

But hey, what's good for the Yankees must be good for everyone right? :rolleyes:

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By dirtyvu · Posted

      I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
