Laptop Organs Harvested! The product itself is probably not bad but XXXXXXX who sent me the refurbished product, shipped it WITHOUT a WiFi card in it - contrary to promotion. The OS also was not activated. I was talked through activating the Windows 7. Crude doesn't begin to describe the state of the missing WiFi card sent - a masking tape was used to hold it together and it was missing screw(s) to keep it in place. I couldn't get the antenna wires in place and the signal was very weak. Frustrating experience. I ordered this product from Overstock on Dec. 30, 2013 and finally secured Return Authorization Jan. 30. Note, my bad experience is something that quality care on the part of XXXXXXX agents could easily have taken care of.

Disappointed Overall this laptop is a good product. My reason for the average rating is due to the written description and customer service. Before buying this laptop I contacted customer service asking if there was a slot for a micro sd card and was told no, this laptop did not have this. I bought something to use so my daughter could bring up her card on her laptop. Now that we have the laptops I see that there is a slot. So, I wasted money on buying something extra. And then in the description it states the laptop has a web cam but only one of the laptops I bought (I bought two of these) had a web cam installed. I had to end up buying a web cam for the second computer which was a waste of money since it only works for Skype but not for recording videos so I still have to spend more money and buy another one. Overstock was kind enough to refund some of my money for the missing web cam and I do appreciate that but I wish they would have checked the laptops out before sending them. I feel Overstock needs to double check their descriptions before putting a product on their web site and also needs to better train their employees.

Laptop is just what I wanted. Was very excited to get my new computer. Only problem is the battery only holds a charge for about 5 minutes. I called and was told new battery's would be in soon. They would send a USED one if I wanted. I said I would wait for a new one. Still waiting Only suggestion is to put a NEW battery in all products before they are sent out.

Good laptop; but one had problems.... I bought 2; one for me and one for my mother. My mothers worked perfectly. Mine had problems. The first was that the battery was NOT functioning. I found this out about 2 months into the purchase. First time I used it, said battery could not maintain service.....Next time in the hotel room; battery went dead. I had to order one from Staples and it was over $100. Next the computer tells me that this is not a true Windows 7 copy, but a fake one. It costs $$ to reactive Windows 7. The lap top will work wihout it, but keep getting pop ups.

Defective computer I eeceived the computer in a timwly manner with not shipping issues. The refurbished computer was not completely operational. However, the computer will not function unless it is plugged in. I replaced the battery because I want to keep the computer however, it still does not charge. I liked the fact it was equipped with Office 7 Home edition. The computer is fast and would have been a great buy if it were not for the defective battery port. I am disappointed that the product was not thoroughly inspected prior to shipping to customers.

This really not good !! For starters the left speaker didn"t work,sometime you get the computer the specs. don"t match what"s stated, whoever is in control of quality control needs to do a better job in making sure the people that do the refurbishing do a good job.I wouldn"t recommend buying a refurbished laptop from Overstock.com in the future i will try someone else or just buy brand new.

New Laptops vs Refurbished Laptops
When you browse the large selection of laptops here on Overstock.com, you may see this icon that labels them as "refurbished." A refurbished laptop is either a computer that has been returned to the retailer or manufacturer for a refund by a customer or a computer that has just come off a lease. The computer may have had a slight defect or simply not met a customer's expectations. Before a laptop can be resold, any defective components are repaired or replaced and the computer is then carefully examined to ensure it works properly. Any computer that goes through this process must be identified as refurbished or reconditioned. Refurbished laptops can be a bargain compared to some new models, but it's important to make a few comparisons first to make sure you're getting a good deal.

Tips on Choosing the Perfect Laptop
Many factors go into choosing the perfect laptop. The task can seem a bit daunting, especially for those who may not really know a whole lot about computers. One of the first things you should consider is what types of activities you or the person you are shopping for wants to use the laptop for. This will give you an idea of what type of features you need. When you consider what you want the notebook computer to do, you can worry less about confusing numbers like processor speed or memory. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect laptop computer for any user.
How to Choose a Replacement Adapter for Your Laptop
Your laptop makes your office, your entertainment and your important files portable and convenient. You can take your laptop anywhere you go, whether you're working at home, the coffee shop or the park. One of the most important laptop accessories you can have is your laptop adapter or power cord. Your laptop needs power to keep you on the go, and a lost or broken laptop adapter can seriously slow you down. Even if you haven't lost your laptop adapter, you may want to purchase a back-up power cord to keep at home or at the office. Here are some steps to help you quickly find a replacement laptop adapter or power cord, so you can get back to work and play.
Laptop vs Desktop Computers
Your computer is possibly the most versatile piece of electronics that you own. But with all the options and features available for laptops and desktop computers, you may want to do a little research before you decide on your next computer. The most basic question to ask yourself is probably whether you want a laptop or a desktop computer. There are advantages to both laptops and desktop computers, so which computer you settle on depends on what your needs are.
Tips on Choosing Laptops for Students
When considering laptops for students, it's good to keep in mind three main factors: size, operating system and computing power. The right laptops for students should be able to support any programs they need for school work while still being portable. A bulky and overpowered laptop does not serve an English student very well, while a student studying computer engineering will probably find it essential. Here are a few tips to help you know what to look for in laptops for students.
Tips on Keeping Your Laptop Cool
If you use your laptop computer for long periods at a time, especially with it sitting on the couch, bed or your lap, its base can get very hot. Although most laptops have a built-in fan, it may not be enough to keep your computer and sensitive components cool. You may need to find ways to keep your laptop cool to prevent the development of heat-related problems, such as unexpected shutdowns. Using computer accessories, like PC stands, and following a few simple tips can help get air flowing underneath your laptop.
Top 5 Laptop Accessories

These accessories will help make using your laptop simpler while maintaining the portability you want.
Best Features of a Laptop Case
Whether you use your laptop for business, school or just keeping in touch, you're probably using it on-the-go. Laptops are ultimately portable, but carrying your laptop with you means exposing it to bumps, scratches and the elements. That's why it's a good idea to have a good laptop case for transporting your laptop and laptop accessories. When you search for new laptop cases, keep a few of these features in mind to determine which is best for your situation.

What to Look for in a Laptop Desk
Laptops have become a part of life. You can now take your computer on the road, to school, to work and even on vacations. If you plan to take your laptop computer with you when you travel but also have a workstation in a home office, then a laptop desk can be a lifesaver. Knowing what to look for in a laptop desk can help you pick the one that's perfect for you and your home office.
Features to Check on Laptops for Sale

Tips on Choosing Laptops for Gaming
When it comes to PC gaming, desktop gaming computers are the workhorses of the industry, but you can have a mobile gaming experience with laptops if they have the right components.

Here are some tips for choosing gaming laptops that will let you take your games on the go.

Archer, Weaver set for duel at Angel Stadium
Rays righty scuffling, while Halos ace finds himself in a groove
Highlighting the second game of the Rays-Angels series be Chris Archer and Jered Weaver, two quality starters who have been heading in opposite directions recently.
Weaver will be making his ninth start of the season and fifth at home. He has won his last three starts and is 4-0 with a 1.71 ERA in his last five.
In four of those five starts, Weaver allowed exactly one earned run. He allowed two in the other.
Weaver has made nine career starts against the Rays and has a 4-3 record with a 3.92 ERA, but he has not defeated the Rays since the 2011 season.
Of note, Weaver enters the game eight strikeouts shy of passing Mike Witt for third place on the Angels' all-time list.
At the other end of the spectrum, Archer is 0-1 with a 7.36 ERA and 10 walks to 11 strikeouts in his last three starts. In addition, he has gone five innings or less in three consecutive starts for the first time in his career.
In his first five starts of the season, he went 2-1 with a 4.11 ERA.
Critical to Archer's recent results is the fact opponents are hitting .227 in two-strike counts, up from .152 in 2013.
Archer knows the numbers and is aware something has been amiss.
"I think the reoccuring theme the past three or four starts is I'm not executing with two strikes," Archer said. "And I'm having one big inning. Not executing with two strikes is driving my pitch count up. And with men on and two outs, the successful pitchers in this league make pitches and get out of it."
Archer has made two career starts against the Angels. He went 0-1 with a 5.06 ERA after facing them on back-to-back starts, Aug. 28 at Tropicana Field and Sept. 2 at Angel Stadium.
Rays: Cobb getting close
Alex Cobb (left oblique strain) will make a rehab start on Saturday for Class A Charlotte against Clearwater (Phillies) at Charlotte Sports Park.
The right-hander is expected to throw five innings or 75 pitches. He has been on the disabled list since April 13. The Rays were 7-5 when he was put on the DL.
Angels: De La Rosa rehabbing
Former Rays right-hander Dane De La Rosa, Angels manager Mike Scioscia's 75-game bullpen workhorse in 2013, is optimistic his latest rehab setback is just a minor bump in the road.
"I just felt some tightness after the last inning I had, so I decided to shut it down," said De La Rosa, who made 12 appearances for the Rays in 2011-12 before being traded to the Angels for Steve Geltz.
De La Rosa had been pitching at Triple-A Salt Lake but came back to Anaheim on Wednesday to be examined. He received a cortisone injection in his AC joint and won't throw again for two days before heading back to continue rehab.
"It killed a lot of the inflammation," De La Rosa said Thursday, adding he now had "no concern whatsoever. I just needed to get this taken care of."
He said he was pleased with his consistent velocity -- 92-93 mph, with some 94-95s thrown in -- before the tightness.
Scioscia said De La Rosa was showing the velocity needed to pitch in Major Leagues before the setback. De La Rosa experienced forearm tightness in the spring that cost him most of the exhibition season. He rehabbed and came back to pitch in one game for the Angels but with diminished velocity, so he went back on the DL again.
Worth noting
• Angels left fielder Josh Hamilton (torn ligament in left thumb) hit on the field Thursday for the first time since his injury. He's on target to begin playing in Minor League games at the end of next week, Scioscia said.
• Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun (sprained ankle) went through two days of agility drills and baserunning with good results, and will begin a rehab stint with Salt Lake City in Reno this weekend.
• Rays pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (right elbow surgery) will throw bullpens on Friday and Monday. The right-hander is expected to be back with the team by late June.
• Rays right-hadner Jake Odorizzi did not allow a hit against the Mariners on Wednesday afternoon until there were two outs in the sixth. James Jones' two-out single ended the longest no-hit bid by a Tampa Bay starter since Matt Moore on July 11, 2013, against Minnesota.

Not this guy, I don't understand all of the negativity. Some people are just never satisfied
Disappointed and Cancelling
Disappointed but not Cancelling
Totally Happy and Keeping my orders
Unappy With Some stuff, but generally happy and keeping my orders.
I'm seeing a lot of disappointment in the NYTF talkback thread over Castle Grayskull, so I wanted to create a poll to see how many folks are actually going to cancel their orders in August or September.
"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
Not this guy, I don't understand all of the negativity. Some people are just never satisfied
I'm unhappy about hearing that the monster grate won't be included with CG (as of now) but I am mostly happy with the castle and am keeping my pre-order.

What no monster grate? If I'm paying 300 bucks I better be getting my monster grate. Don't be cheap Mattel

Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
Yeah I love the Castle and even though the skulpt is about 2 inches shorter than the B sheet i have hope when mattel design tackles it to turn it into a working playset they can fix the hight, so i'm keeping my order.
As for what gets cut like the dungeon grate or anthing else that was my disapointment. I mean really a Grayskull expantion pack? Were already paying $250.00 for this thing how much is mattel planning on squeezing us for this castle?
My thoughts exactly, we are paying a pretty Pennie for this thing and they can't just include everything? I feel like punching Scott in the face right now
I'm generally pleased with the design. It is smaller than I thought, but still a great way to display the figures. I wanted that Monster cell/gate, hopefully it will be released later as a bonus or something.
I hope they add some reflective mirrors or portals or something also.
I am happy and keeping!
Keeping, I love it. Yeah I'm upset about possible cut accessories, but they might throw it in later or they may not. Either way I'm keeping it.
I committed to the CG order and am going to follow through with it, however I am disappointed with the narrow looking facade and size. It's just not what I was expecting.
Psalm 18:32 - "It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect."
Yeah, same here. I also wish the remaining silver weapons from the weapons rack were included to replace the red Man-E-Faces ones. I'm not keen on the brown rooftops, and I wish the trap door was located above the dungeon.
Overall though i'm extremely happy with it. The sculpt is amazing, and I have no problems with the size.
Castle Grayskull is a work of art!! I'll be keeping all of my CG pre-orders.
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
I'm unhappy with the throne not being designed to sit the Sorceress and the removal of the awesome dungeon grate, BUT I'm keeping my Castle regardless. It looks amazing every time I look at the pics of She-Ra being dwarfed by it. The inside might be a little cramped, but the sculpt is fantastic.
Keeping the 4 I ordered. If money was easier to come by, I would order more to give to all of my nephews.
I'm not cancelling my pre-orders, but I am disappointed when we were told that if Mattel did offer a Castle Grayskull, they would do it 100% right. Right now, it feels like things are only 85% right with the size reduction and missing accessories. Plus that spot for the Wind Raider is kind of pointless.
Proud supporter of the Snake Men.
Most Wanted: Slave Girl, Crita, Lizorr, Tyrantisaurus Rex, Great Black Wizard, Darius, the rest of New Adventures.
Most Wanted Filmation: Lord Masque, Ileena, Granita, General Sunder, Teela, He-Man, Skeletor, Hordak head.
No Slave Girl? Watch us hurl!
A barbaric world without slave girls? That's truly barbaric!
Unhappy With Some stuff, but generally happy and keeping my orders.
• Cutting the dungeon monsters was a terrible move
• The trap door doesn't lead to the dungeon?
• I wish the throne room had more floor around the throne itself.
• Computer Room looks sparse.
• Not too crazy about that third level above the computer room.
• I wish the castle was a little bigger. Granted, I'm not going to ride He-Man on Battlecat through the entrance or anything, but that entrance is a lot on the snug side. Those pictures with Fisto and Clawful's heads almost touching the ceiling really hits this home.
Despite my issues with the interior, Castle Grayskull's exterior looks stellar. I know Mattel can fix some of these issues with future releases. Perhaps release the dungeon monsters, some furniture, or maybe some artifacts from Filmation or MYP.
I hope the inside walls match the outside walls. It will definitely help.

I put undecided but will probably keep the castle. I think I am dealing with sticker shock. After seeing the images from NYTF I don't know that I am getting what I expected for the amount I paid. I am hoping they beef it up a bit and add some details on the interior. I had a hard time justifying the spend and the images have made me question it a little more.
How do we cancel? If its easy then id say sure im canceling. What bothers me most is that buying this castle assumes ive been collecting everything from the line. Ill be getting weapons with no weapon rack. An orb holder with no orb' etc.also what happened to the playmat? Honestly I think they could have done a better job. Its another rehash on vintage witb lack of inovation. Castle Grayskull never looked like that in filmation. I was hoping for a serious update not another copycat. What happen to all the interior sculpting they were suppose to do? Disappointed in size as well. On a positive note it did look nice. But not 300 dollars nice.
I'm keeping it MIB, so even if the thing is made outta peanut butter I couldn't care less. As long as the box is clean and sealed I could give a flip about doorway sizes and grates.
I have to say when I saw the pics I was a little let down. I was blown away by the Icon Heros castle and for some reason this did not measure up. I guess it is harder to sculpt something when it is going to be turned into an actual playset, but.....I guess one thing is that I agree that it looks straight vintage and I was hoping for something unique to classics in some way. Also, and this is my fault I think, for some reason I had it in my head that the back half would fold out flat and the entire thing could be placed against the wall. That is not the case and that is a bummer for me cause I really only want an awesome 3D back drop for my figures, I dont plan on playing with all the little stuff inside, though some of it looks neat. I likely will keep the castle order (if in fact it could be canceled) but I really wanted to be blown away and i am not. The door thing is really an error in judgement and hopefully can be fixed. The Horsemen are awesome, but I dont see how making the door smaller so there can be a thick base under it, effectively making the castle stick it's tongue out is something that made it's way into the design at all.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
I'm happy (okay, the entrance could have a bit more headroom) and keeping mine.
I really hope we can get that Dungeon piece later on, as well as Point Dread (with the Talon Fighter) and the triangular weapons rack from the old cardboard insert.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
I'm willing to buy somebody's Castle here, as I'm completely gunshy about all the negative things concerning DR's shipping!
since i believe there is quite alot of work to do detail wise sdcc is going to be finished. and thenany fears i may have had will be proven unfounded.
for a work in progress...perfect. i feel we will get a 3d version of that tiny paper weapons rack from the original for the new weapons.
and no it doesnt bother me to pay more for the grate further down the line. keep expanding. monster grate, point dread? shut up and take my money!
- - - Updated - - -
was pretty certain that is the small weapons rack ive seen mentioned is comming with it and still in production at time of nytf.

The updated HTC One M9 packs speed and software improvements into a handset that remains lustworthy in middle age, but it doesn't exceed the competition where it counts.

The HTC Desire 510 doesn't have the specs to excite committed tech fans, but it handles the basics well, has 4G LTE for superfast data speeds, and it doesn't cost the earth.
The latest entry-level Android phone from HTC packs 4G LTE and a 5-inch 720p screen into a jazzy two-tone body.
Although its flash-equipped front camera is eye-catching, its image results aren't as impressive as I'd hoped. Still, the flash will illuminate your face where other phones can't, and the Desire Eye comes with fun software, is well-specced and waterproof too.
The HTC Re's features might not be as unusual as its design, but it's still a solid little camera that's easier and faster to shoot with than your average smartphone.
The HTC Desire 820 is a 5.5-inch Android phone with a 64-bit processor, an 8-megapixel camera and a fun, colourful design.

In this July 26 file photo, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner speaks during a news conference at city hall, in San Diego. / Gregory Bull AP
A proposed settlement has been reached in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against San Diego and embattled Democratic Mayor Bob Filner, local media are reporting, and an aide to one San Diego elected official has shared video that she says shows Filner leaving City Hall on Wednesday with boxes.
In recent weeks, a growing number of elected officials, including U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., have called on Filner to resign in the wake of 17 women stepping forward to say he made improper sexual advances toward them.
Two news organizations reported they got word of the proposed resolution from San Diego city attorney Jan Goldsmith, but Goldsmith did not respond to an e-mail seeking confirmation sent late last night.
The San Diego City Council will vote on the proposed resolution Friday in a closed session, KGTV reports.
Goldsmith told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the process "requires that we maintain confidentiality of the proposal." Most council members have not yet seen the proposal, the Union-Tribune reports.
One Twitter user, Diana Palacios, deputy chief of staff to San Diego Councilman Scott Sherman, shared her video with USA TODAY that she says shows Filner leaving San Diego City Hall with boxes in tow.
On Wednesday, a San Diego businesswoman became the latest person to charge Filner with making inappropriate sexual advances.
Dianne York says Filner, a 70-year-old former congressman, groped her while posing for a photo with her.
Twitter, meantime, crackled with reaction to the news.
Christine Pelosi, Democratic strategist and daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., tweeted: "Filner apology and resignation needed."

Bipolar disorder cannot be identified physiologically. That means it cannot be found by things like blood tests or brain scans. It is diagnosed based on symptoms and course of illness. When available, family history plays a role in diagnosis. The diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder are described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5).
Bipolar disorder is often diagnosed based on the following:
- Initial assessment—Your doctor will ask about your symptoms. You will also be asked about your medical and family history. Your doctor may want to interview your family members and/or other people close to you.
- Physical exam—Your doctor will do a physical exam. You may be given several lab tests to rule out other causes for your moods and behavior. Those causes could include hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism . If a physical cause for your symptoms is ruled out, you may be referred to a psychiatrist for a psychological evaluation.
Psychological evaluation—After you see your regular doctor, a psychiatrist will be able to evaluate your symptoms. Diagnosis of bipolar disorder is based on:
- Presence of symptoms over time
- Absence of medications that could cause mood symptoms or medical or neurological illness that may look like bipolar disorder
- Family history of bipolar disorder
Mania could be diagnosed based on an abnormally elevated mood. It must last at least one week. It also must occur with three or more of the other symptoms of mania. If your mood is irritable, four additional symptoms must be present.
Depression is diagnosed based on depressed mood or loss of interest in pleasure. It must occur every day, or nearly every day. This must last two weeks, and be accompanied by five or more of the symptoms.
A diagnostic evaluation may include a mental status exam. This helps determine if your speech, thought patterns, or memory have been affected. Sometimes this happens in the case of bipolar disorder.
You may also be evaluated for other psychiatric conditions. These include anxiety disorders and alcohol or drug abuse . You will also be evaluated for other potential medical and neurological causes for your symptoms.

Hot Harry's home...with Chelsy
After a couple of months tasting America, literally, Hot Harry's home in England. He was out last night at a club. Chelsy Davy was there too.

I mean, she was his official date at his brother's monumental wedding just over 6 months ago. Full Story

President Obama and his wife Michelle are touring the UK. They cruised by Buckingham Palace today for a visit with newlyweds William and Kate, just returned from a 10 day honeymoon in the Seychelles where, amazingly, no one was able to get a photograph.

After a rainy road trip, the Nats are back home tonight to face the Mets.
The Nationals open a seven-game homestand tonight, still reeling somewhat from their disappointing 2-4 trip to St. Louis and Pittsburgh and in need of a bounce-back victory tonight. Under normal circumstances, a home series against the Mets would be exactly what the doctor ordered, but the Nats may be catching their division rivals at the wrong time. New York has won four in a row, and right-hander Chris Young (who one-hit the Nationals April 10 at Citi Field) is back from the DL starting the opener.
Jordan Zimmermann gets the start for the Nats, trying to bounce back himself from his worst start of the season (five runs, eight hits allowed in St. Louis). Zimmermann has already beaten the Mets once this year.
With Ian Desmond officially off the roster while on paternity leave, Alex Cora will be starting at shortstop. Roger Bernadina has been recalled to temporarily take Desmond's roster spot; the outfielder will be available off the bench tonight.
Check back for updates throughout, and catch me on CSN's "SportsNet Central" live from the ballpark at 6 p.m. …

Gametime: 7:05 p.m.

- Sec314 - Apr 26, 2011 at 7:41 PM
Cora at Short? Are they just obstinant or do Riggleman and Rizzo fear that if Espinosa plays SS he will vaporize?
- TheYellowSlant - Apr 26, 2011 at 7:49 PM
So Cora at 2nd and Espinosa at SS is magically better? Even though Espinosa hasn't played there this season at all and they're trying to keep him comfortable in one position?
- Sec314 - Apr 26, 2011 at 8:12 PM
I'm firmly in the "Flip Desmond and Espinosa" camp. The only objection I've heard is that management fears messing with Desmond's head if they did that. So why not at least try Espinosa at Short now while Desmond is off?
- Ballston Nat - Apr 26, 2011 at 8:18 PM
I am ready for Espinoza to try out short. This is a business and we must win. But it would be a gutsy move by Riggs and Riz to do the switch at the time of Desmond's first child…Always look at the kid and think I was a shortstop until you came long. If Desmond is meant to lose the job, he will continue to play out of it. Perhaps we can clone Espinoza and have him at both ends of the double play.
- JamesFan - Apr 26, 2011 at 8:31 PM
No,let's not flip players around 20 games into the season. My problem with the Nats in the past is that players move around so much, they never get used to their regular position.There is no miracle with this team. Let them play and make incremental changes.
- Anonymous - Apr 26, 2011 at 8:39 PM
@JamesFan,Desmond is already 1/4 of the way to 40 errors … that's FORTY? And, again, as for the past six years, too many on easy chances. That also means the Nats project to have 110 errors. NO improvement in that category over last year … Its way past time to make those incremental changes … no-arm, no bat Cora at shortstop? That's far and away worst than Guzman! They've gone backwards … waaaaaay backwards requiring more than just an incremental change?
- carolync - Apr 26, 2011 at 8:45 PM
It's too late to put Espinosa at short. They asked him to adapt to a new position and he's done that very well. He does not deserve to be jerked around. I think he has a good chance to go to the All-Star Game at 2B. I don't see much competition there with Utley still out and Uggla not hitting. Would be nice to have him and a couple of our pitchers.Besides, I don't think Desmond could adapt to second and I think Rizzo feels the same if you read between the lines of the statement he made when Danny came up.We're stuck with Desmond at short. The best we can hope for is for him to have some hot streaks like he did last year.We're going to the game tonight after all! Can't pass up a chance to enjoy some Nats baseball without having to hold my breath when a ball goes toward short.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Apr 26, 2011 at 8:46 PM
A new night a new opportunity to finally start hitting the ball. Don't be afraid to swing at strikes. I am not of the camp going into a count. That is for teams with a bunch of power. We are 15th in the league in homers, so we need to hit like contact hitters not sluggers. Swing at the first good strike, hit the balls on the outher third to the opposite field, putt the inner third and drive at the pitcher's head the middle third. We bat like we are all power hitters. I blame this approach to Eckstein. (which of course I think is a bigger problem than Desmond's fielding).
- Wally - Apr 26, 2011 at 9:13 PM
I don't think moving Desmond to 2B will help much. I think his issue is basic fielding. He'll get less chances at 2B probably, but not enough to matter.I have been a big Desi fan, but 180 games or so is enough to start drawing some conclusions, and I am losing confidence in him. I guess I am coming around to JayB's idea of trying him in CF, but that has to happen at Syr. He can't try to learn that in DC.
- DFL - Apr 26, 2011 at 9:16 PM
Nats have the wrong Eckstein. Fire Rick Eckstein, drop Cora, and sign David Eckstein.
- Anonymous - Apr 26, 2011 at 9:16 PM
I wonder if the Mets would accept a package of Desmond, Carr and Stammen for Reyes. They get a shortstop with upside (despite the errors) to replace Reyes, a potential starter (they have no pitching)in Stammen and a good relief prospect in Carr.If that deosn't get it done, I'd throw in Brad Peacock as well.
- Will - Apr 26, 2011 at 9:49 PM
But you only get a five month rental of Reyes, then he'll fit the FA market to make big bucks.He's been playing very well this year, and seems to be 100%. There's no reason that he wouldn't expect a contract around 5/$100mil.So why not just wait until October to throw silly money at him and save the prospects?
- Unkyd - Apr 26, 2011 at 9:53 PM
Espy is in a groove at 2nd…please let's not yank him about in his rookie year! Keep My Boy at SS until a full time replacement is available. I don't see the replacement ready to go, right now, without moving Espi, which just shifts your problem one spot to the left, anyway. Sheesh!! Anyone would thing SS is the only thing standing between us and the 2011 World Series Title. Newsflash: not the case! This team is SO much better than it was 2 years ago, and the most optimistic of us will be grinning like chimps, if we win 81 this year. I gonna let Rizzo continue to build this monster, and he definitely gets the benefit of MY doubt. It's a process, and less whining would make it more enjoyable….
- Will - Apr 26, 2011 at 9:57 PM
Also, a switch makes a lot of sense, though I can understand management waiting at least a whole month.Desmond hasn't shown any improvement. If anything, he's regressed. At this rate, he's on pace for 50+ errors, and he doesn't have a scapegoat in Adam Dunn anymore to explain away a third of them.Who knows, maybe something will click for Desmond at 2B, and we'll have a solid defensive infield. But as it stands now, he's a constant liability in the field. I'd be interested to see how many unearned runs have been caused by Desmond over the past two seasons, and how many of those runs produced a Nats loss.
- Not Werth It - Apr 26, 2011 at 10:43 PM
Congrats Desi!Everyone relax. Desmond is 20 games into his second season at shortstop. He'll cut down the errors."You know the best thing about 1st year shortstops? They turn into 2nd year shortstops."-Rizzo? Riggleman? someone important for the Nats said that last year. And I liked it.
- Anonymous8 - Apr 26, 2011 at 11:08 PM
Cora is slow to the ball. Bad break on that 1st single of the game. Not sure he would have gotten to it but the effort was poor.

Nice shot by Werth. He has 4 singers now, and I can remember at least 3 shots he has hit off the top of the wall for doubles. A few more feet and he has 7 homers on the season. Wouldn't be too much talk about him starting slow.RAMOS!

So you live by your LH specialist and you die by your LH specialist. This is why I liked the idea of having Detwiler on the team as Slaten has good looking stats if you look at ERA but inherited runners is a big stat that has to be considered.

I think it is time that the Nats stop thinkiing of Zimmermann as a potential top of the rotation starter. He's not down to the Jason Bergmann level yet but he's beginning to remind me of Craig Stammen.
- Anonymous - Apr 27, 2011 at 1:09 AM
Two runs behind, seems like 20 runs behind for these lame hitting Nats. Put this game in the loss column.
- Natman - Apr 27, 2011 at 1:10 AM
Mark,Luckily there are such statistics, but not a simple one like ERA. His WHIP is 1.71 and his H/9 is 11.6. But looking deeper his BABIP is an ungodly .429 way higher than his usual .280-.300 mark. He's either a bit unlucky or his fielders don't get to balls that they should.
- Doc - Apr 27, 2011 at 1:14 AM

A journeyman team of re-treads, untesteds, and sure-to-fails. 1/3 of the team in Head Start, another 1/3 on Social Security. And 100 percent of them protected by the Nationals Excuse Factory, Inc.

Bryce Harper decided to hit a HR tonight to join in with Werth and Wilson Ramos.

That's three homers in four games for Harper, in case you're scoring at home.(If so, at least someone's scoring.)

I am thinking of doing a personality test of model submariners. I have long held the suspicion that we / I have a particular profile in comparison to the model boating fraternity.
Scale modelers: Quiet, contemplative and detailed people who like to be admired in front of others although relatively short tempered and not good at human relationships. Very reliable people, but not exciting. When they do get excited they also get repetitive and boring. Love cricket.
Steam boaters. (Add paddle wheelers of all types here) Completely obsessive about their hobby. Nothing else matters when a steam engine is being heated up. Tend to have anger problems when their boats get stuck. A bit like Vogons. (Refer Hitchhikers guide etc) Cricket
Warship modelers (The combative model types). They mainly come from America and are members of the NRA. They are not dangerous though as they have this outlet, and do not have the confidence to become real social problems. Tend 'not to have really grown up,' and watch old war movies where there are real baddies and goodies. Love football.
Fast boat modelers: Inherent show offs, however not secure enough to be outgoing in relationships. The speed and the 'shock and awe' of the model boat does the speaking for the modeler. Needless to say they rely on this. A bit unreliable, as unless there is acknowledgement in what they commit to, it is unlikely to be done. Don't like sport.
Yachties: Very competitive and arrogant. Tend to like the 'right of way' rule too much on the water and in life. Appreciative of the environment but if 'anything gets in the way hard luck' still prevails. They all talk about the 'real thing' even though some of them have never sailed a real yacht. They have a deep feeling of disappointment or disenchantment about something in their life. Love golf.
Submariners: Very smug people. Willing to risk humiliation for the excitement of surprising others, however this is unlikely to be a social phenomenon. They like to disappear in social settings and suddenly surface with witty ideas and then disappear again. Very good game players, although they will twist the rules and lie to win. They are loners who gather in isolated places to just do their individual thing together, and then leave. Tend to have 'arrangements' rather than relationships.
Any additions to this?
