PrintCahill, presumably on a pitch count, is done and the A's take a 3-1 lead to the seventh. Barton likes September.

It’s not a “grounded,” so it’s not. More importantly, it’s not the batter’s “fault” because he hit the ball hard; it’s usually the runner’s fault for running when he shouldn’t have or being doubled off. At least that’s the idea.

Industry for a couple years isn’t a terrible way to go. On the other hand, it’s not like college—if you’re out of science for a little bit, admission committees usually need to know what you’ve been up to and why you needed the time off.
Good to know, definitely.

Ten years off is a lot. You need to be prepared for the haul though.

If you ever need some thoughts on the process, hit me up (speckops@gmail.com). I’m a first year, so the process is pretty fresh on my mind.

4th Place Team for AL & NL
If you look at the standings, the A’s would be in 4th place in each divisIon including the NL.
Don’t know if you follow Beyond the Boxscore, but they have weekly power rankings of the teams based on wOBA and some other composite advanced stats for hitting, fielding, and pitching. The A’s have pretty consistently ranked around #10 for a while now, whereas the Giants were #23 last week. Lul records.
I think so.

Kennedy opened the gate yesterday in the first with 2 outs

Tonight the Rangers have been throwing it around.. pass balls and Barton’s little league Home run
Did we win yet?
I had to shut down the MLB Audio. Stupid SB Nation upgrade.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
Not for me.
I have an old laptop that is sensitive to too much drain on the CPU. If there’s too much demand for too long it starts to overheat and will crash if I don’t shut down.
For most of the season, this was only a problem on really hot days, but since the upgrade, a game thread will shut me down in less than an hour. I finally gave in and got AdBlock for Safari; that helped a lot, but I still overheat after about two hours. Yesterday I tried turning off auto-refresh and I actually made it through the entire game, but I had it off again today and I didn’t make it. Looking at my CPU monitor utility, I’m not sure if auto-refresh actually makes a difference, but the site in general is definitely working the CPU harder than it used to.
So I just have to shut down my browser every half hour or so, which means losing the audio feed.
Hopefully I’ll have a new laptop by next spring. I don’t expect SB Nation to streamline its CPU use just for people like me.

The best thing to do would be to open the sucker up,
and try to blow some compressed air around. It’s mostly likely a dust buildup that’s your problem. You’d be surprised how much gets in there.
If you really wanted to, you could also remove the heatsink and re-apply some thermal grease, but that’s more difficult.

Hmm, that makes sense.
I’m not sure I trust myself enough to do it, though. I’m not very good with machines. I’m afraid if I take things apart I won’t be able to put them back together.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
Granted, a lot of laptops make it intentionally difficult to open the bottom panel.
I had a laptop that forced you to take it apart from top to bottom just to get inside. Needless to say, I never even got a quarter of the way in before giving up.

Mine's an Apple PowerBook G4.
It’s from before they switched to the other chip. 2003, I think.

Ah. Then you might be out of luck.
I’m not very familiar with them, but I’d imagine it’s difficult/near impossible, consider it’s an Apple.

They still get dusty as hell inside
Get one of those little cans of compressed air, you can get them at office stores or best buy or whatever.
There will be an intake somewhere. Blow air through it. You’ll see the dust shoot out of it.

Reminds me...
Those tourist-oriented Swiss created a holiday, basically so they can shoot off ordnance fireworks. Incredible amount of gunpowder smoke, little kids with M-80s, pretty incredible.
Be there August 1 some summer…it is magnificent.

Oh, good God, no.
I like to look at pictures of fireworks, but I absolutely hate hearing them. One of my least favorite things in the world. I am miserable every July 4 and January 1.

Well, then Switzerland on August 1
is not for you…
The percussion from the Chinese fireworks, set off from the high ramparts of a medieval fortress in Martingny, was palpable on one’s chest.
Most incredible.
