Around SBN: Miikka Kiprusoff Wins 300th Game, Buffalo Crushes Boston

So I've been offline for the past seven days...

After moving flats I have been without a net connection, which in this country basically means baseball isolation.  I guess I picked a good week for it eh?

I have been able to follow Jeff's writeups on my blackberry every morning [that picture essay for the Beltre game recap was incredible and was just what I needed to perk me up at 7am on a cold morning] however I have been totally out of the loop with all other news.

Has anything been said about getting rid of Bavasi/McLaren or making any trades?  Or has this season basically been declared a write-off? 

Speedy replies welcome as this internet cafe closes soon!

There's always talk of getting rid of Billy/Squinty

However talks of a season write-off are getting more and more vocal with the casual fans at Baker’s blog.

Good job I haven't been around then.

Season writeoff replies must be down by 50% with my absence.

Beware of the GTE.

At least this community makes me laugh in my misery.

It's playable with a save feature

...because it is nice to have a challenge.

However, I can’t imagine playing without one, I don’t know how you could give it more than 20 minutes if you had to start from scratch each time you played.

on the other hand, whoever came up backwards warps was probably Nazi sympathizer.

I was drinking water while reading this comment

and had to do a mental brain wipe after reading the last line to keep from spitting up and choking.

I have no idea why I downloaded this game.

What an unfun piece of shit.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

FLAWLESS VICTORY

Well,

We also lost every game since punting Wilkerson and Norton for Clement and Wlad but that’s probably just a coincidence.

Wasn't there a diary about OAK team SLG

I’m guessing it got deleted for some reason?

by Edgar for Pres on May 4, 2008 5:42 PM PDT reply actions

Corco?

...and now I'm here

by CapSea on May 4, 2008 5:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

Nope I saw it on the front page

Somehow I was even able to post on the thread.

Anyhoo it said “Loser Landing”

Then 13-19 last place.

It was also posted as the author being Jeff.

Obviously someone from HH.

by marinator on May 4, 2008 5:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'm going with Logan

not enough coffee jokes to be anyone from HH.

by MFAN on May 4, 2008 6:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

Someone just posted using Jeff's name on HH

You are right, it may very well not be a HH reg, but someone just posted a diary there mocking him.

by marinator on May 4, 2008 6:01 PM PDT up reply actions  

Eh whatever.

The SBN admins will come down on that moron hard.

by BrianL on May 4, 2008 6:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

And in case they don't, I got a screen shot of the thread with his IP before Jeff deleted it.

Don’t worry, I won’t post it here.

And in light of Jeff's post below, I'm deleting it.

So many better ways to waste time...

Also, goes without saying, but no retaliation please. I don’t want to see Jeff get pissed at us over this.

by BrianL on May 4, 2008 6:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

i would imagine this is the first of many still to come.

once people see it can be done, others will look for other openings to hack it…..

I expect they’ll get more frequent and probably more destructive.

Oh please people that log onto the internet have better things to do than hack sports websit...

on second thought, everyone fear for their lives it’s Thunderdome!!

Seriously though, the more popular a website gets, these kinds of things have a greater chance of happening.

by marinator on May 4, 2008 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

Fair warning:

I’ll be deleting any diaries that have to do with taking action against the hacker. I did not respond very well at the time and it isn’t in the community’s best interests to go crazy.

by JeffS on May 4, 2008 7:45 PM PDT reply actions  

yah, I don't think anything WOULD happen...but I see the potential liability

So what are the steps to get things back in order?

I fucking hate you Mariners

Corco was ready to firebomb the shit out of his Netgear router
