Open Thread: Game 162 - Oakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners (cont)

PrintSo the game is tied 7-7, and we're going to the 11th. Yes, OBVIOUSLY, not the A's game. But rather, the one everyone is watching (and yes, it should be on TV for you). Tampa Bay has done the nearly impossible; rallied from 7 runs down in the bottom of the eighth to tie the Yankees and take them to extra innings. Dan Johnson is the hero so far; Damon has been the goat. Meanwhile, Boston is clinging to a one-run lead against Baltimore. Not enough drama for you? Atlanta and Philadelphia are tied in the top of the 13th. St. Louis won 8-0; if Atlanta doesn't win the game, St. Louis captures the Wild Card.
In the A's game, the A's lead 2-0 on a homerun by Jai Miller.

I've been watching the half-innings when the Rays hit,
and watching the A’s/listening to Ken during the other times. Oh and the Sox/O’s are on my actual TV.
It’s a bit overwhelming.

I'm usually like that, I just don't care that much.
Last day of baseball for me, I’ll watch the A’s game.
I'm using ESPN on Xbox Live for the first time ever for a live event
It is…. AWESOME. I can split screen two games at a time, so I’m watching two of three at a time of Sox/O’s, Rays/Yanks and Phils/Braves. I’m loving it.

No, cuppy. Wireless adapters work great. It's just that one of my adapters doesn't support WPA and aside from
security, I heard it’s a lot easier to set up with comcast internet.

modem seems to be okay per people on dslreports
I’m not a fan of D-Link (Linksys till I die) but I’m sure it is okay, G adapter for Tivo is fine.
Great, thanks for that. I've been afraid to pull the trigger.
As for the router, well it got good reviews and it was cheap ($24 I think). If I need to I can add some kind of extender to stretch the signal.
I feel a little better now.

Buy a Surfboard 6120.
$65-$80 or so on Amazon usually.
DOCSIS 3.0 so you’re set for the future.
I’ve been using one for a year or two. Using it right now.
Surfboard 6121 he's talking about has DOCSIS 3.0 also
No real advantage to the 6121. It is a different shape, has a built-in MOCA filter and an off switch (optionally). External MOCA filters are cheap and no one uses MOCA anyway. So it’s a toss up, personally if the 6120 is cheaper, I’d skip the 6121.
It is 3.0. Pretty sure I don't need it though.
...being a role model I probably wouldn't recommend eating dirt. But at the same time, I'm not trying to be a role model. I'm just trying to eat some dirt.
futureproof
You don’t need it unless you get a data plan of over about 2mbits up or 25mbits down.
But it might help in the future.
6120 cost about $20 more. I'm going with the 6121.

Nice win A’s! See you in Phoenix.
A's finish off the regular season with a WIN!!!
