    Shaw-and-tell

    We shouldn't forget that he only had about 100 games at third in the minors. I expect his fielding to be a work in progress. I guessed last year (too lazy to look for the post) that his fielding would probably be at least not worse than Sandoval's, while it appeared that his offense had a good...

    Looking for hifi audio help... plunge into vinyl

    Dunno. I never owned any MFSL pressings. Like you, I used Discwasher, which was both better and more expensive than doing nothing, but, as you said, not really effective in the long run. After some research, my conclusion is that there's really no substitute for a machine that both cleans the...

    Looking for hifi audio help... plunge into vinyl

    I agree with catomatic. The stylus and tone arm are the places to begin. These are what will wear out your vinyl. The AT tracks at 2 grams, which I'd consider the absolute maximum acceptable. I assume the cartridge/stylus that ships with it is designed to track at 2 grams as well. It's...

    2015 Colts: Karma Chameleon

    That's alright. At least my mama didn't have to put a sheet over my head so sleep could slip up on me. Edit: Shave and a haircut, two bits.

    Major SOSH Upgrade, November 2015

    I was never paid only because I don't do Paypal (long sad story), and I don't do auto-renew (different but similar story). If you can find a way to avoid those two things, I'm in.

    2015 Harvard Football: New England's other really good if not necessarily still undefeated team

    I saw the thread title and came here to post your edit. Amherst and Trinity meet this Saturday at Pratt Field. It will be viewable over the internet. NESCAC is the only football I watch these days. And, of course, an Amherst alum (Doug Swift, '70) is one of the "grumpy old men."

    OK, so it's November 1. Feliz Dia de los Muertos, sans-culottes Mets fans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0j356dm1GQ (Thanks for the NYT article link, ITP. Lester Young was nicknamed "Pres," but he said that before he became the Pres, the real first Pres was Coleman Hawkins.)

    Woke up this morning to hear the Mets won the WS last night. My guess is that the Royals will be back at Citi tonight, anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jimmTyd_adQ
