Game One Open Thread: Cardinals at Reds (in April)

PrintSt. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds, Apr 5, 2010 1:10 PM EDT
Higgledy Piggledy
Our season preview is
here interrupted for
actual games.
New season fever come
asymptomatically?
Think of the number it
does on our brains.
Chris Carpenter Watch starts anew at one this year; meanwhile, Aaron Harang looks to avoid getting victimized by his W-L record like he has over the last two years. People always ask me, when they hear I write about the Cardinals, to predict what they'll do on a season-by-season basis, and I can't do it, but opening day—sure, whatever. Cardinals 4-2? (Allen Craig will hit four solo home runs off the bench and promptly be sent to Memphis.)

Really
He’d probably hit about 30 and then he’d walk every plate appearance for the rest of the season.
So, how about back to back to start the season?
And scare the crap out of the rest of the league?

Netbooks can multitask and play flash (and probably has a built-in camera)
The iPad cannot do any of these things.

Why would you want to do these things on a small screen?
by cloistermaximus on Apr 5, 2010 1:49 PM EDT up reply actions
If the debate is between a netbook and a iPad
Presumably a high degree of portability is a central desire.
My primary use would be internet access when I'm away from my desktop at home.
I don’t need anything with high-end computing power. I feel like I’d find a lot of other things to do with the iPad if I bought it where the netbook would only function as a glorified browser.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
you mean image over function?
can’t see how the “form” of an ipad is better than a netbook
touch screen keyboards suck
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
the touch screen bothers me
but the cramped netbook keyboard is only marginally better.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
I am not a huge iPad fan
But i had a netbook and it sucked. The only thing it was good for was portability and battery life. A crappy video card meant that even youtube videos were often crappy quality, much less the Netflix streaming video I tried to watch. It could multitask, but the processor meant that those “multiple tasks” ran at a snail’s pace.
I know it irks some, but Apple’s insistence on only releasing a product/feature once it works like its supposed to is the best way to go.
defy, cards, defy. hey logic --- you suck.
For the price of an iPad
You could get a pretty powerful netbook, which would alleviate some of these concerns.
you can use it standing up with ease
(reading, playing games, etc)
defy, cards, defy. hey logic --- you suck.
the ebook thing too
I was never ready to jump on the kindle but I’m leaning more and more towards an e-reader.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
I'm sensing a distinct anti-Apple vibe from you
I can do all those things but the aethetics of the iPad are considerably more appealing than those on a netbook.
Think; It's not illegal yet.
just anti-ipad
it’s a dumb product.
if you like it because it looks cool or you look cool holding it, that’s fine. i just buy things that do what i want them to do well.
i have an iphone and i can’t imagine something exactly like it only 3 times larger replacing a a legitimate computer

it's a brilliant phone
plenty of room for improvement, but it’s great
what it is not, though, is a computer
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
Plus
It can multitask if you jailbreak it. In other words, my phone can do things that the iPad can’t (at least until someone jailbreaks the iPad).
Hmm
I had not heard this, but that opens up some functionality that makes me hate it less. Apple will no doubt patch this up very soon…I wonder how that will affect other updates going forward.

I love iPhone and whatnot
I really don’t see how an iPad is better than a netbook assuming you are doing more than just looking at media. Touchscreen typing just isn’t as good as having tactile feedback and that would be a major thing for me. Plus I’d think it’d be extremely awkward to try to sit on your couch and try to type on your screen.
That’s in addition to no multi-tasking, and no flash.
Not afraid to nitpick
Let's be clear here
The iPad is not an e-reader. It’s not e-ink, it’s just a screen — that’s a HUGE difference. Reading entire books on that thing would be awful, in my opinion.
I don't get people who can books on Kindle
or even a laptop screen, for that matter. If its not ink and paper, I can’t read it.
e-ink is vastly better than reading a book on a glossy computer screen.
You can read it in any tone you like.
e-ink is amazing
Have you ever used a Kindle? It’s not a “screen” in the same way that a laptop is — it’s not even backlit. It’s very easy on the eyes.
but can you doodle on it?
