Zero Displacement Grill 73

This grill will pick you up, and slap you back down again. You’ll end up right here. Going up 1: I won’t fall into any traps about a talented person’s character, but the voice is awesome and it looks like Ted Williams is going to get a second chance. And fast. Going down 1: There ...

FK Tech Requests – This is not a grill 86

Alright people, listen up. I want you to drop (in) and give me 20 (ideas). This is not a grill. So far, the things on my list are: 1) Seeing if updating to WP3 will break everything No WP3 for you guys. 2) A button to allow editors to move a whole thread to another ...

See, I told you I’d post this today! 100

The Thursday Grill: a trust exercise with Jesus 62

What an Odd and Repellent Grill 272

Unlucky season so far for Zook. Conor Jackson? Not so much… Heavy sigh: Wallace still projects to be an average hitter and at least as good a hitter as Overbay I got lost in the math here, but do I need to drop my objections to defensive stats? Go get ’em Rob No. Not close. ...

FK Tech Talk 81

All, First, I’m about to embark on an upgrade to the most recent version. In tests on SandFK, it solved the new post issue, so we’ll see. Once that’s done, the only thing I’ve heard about is AJAXing new comments (so there’s no need to refresh). I’m sure there’s more, so havatcha!

Thank Grill Its Friday (20100409) 130

First off, I wanted to flag this story. I’ll say this about the Dude, he has a good poker face. I knew the Griffey thing had to be a big deal, so I was specifically looking for it and saw no evidence. Second, stories like this will be fun until we get out of our ...

Hank Greenberg (probably) lost a lot of home run points a long time ago. Tango has earned a lot of credibility points recently. Slusser has trolled for a lot of unicorn ...

This Grill Contains links to the future: 03082010 182

Hello everyone. I have survived my blistering work schedule and bring you a dump of my over-900 google reader, fresh with depressing sports news, depressing other news, and jokes about Godzilla. But first, the Oscar was really for uncovering the xbox of the future. Depressing sports news: My other favorite team signed Coco Crisp too. ...
