Stop Us If You’ve Heard this Before: Server Fixed!
When Computers Piss You Off July 8th. 2008, 11:55am
Apologies all around for yesterday’s debacle. We deserve the beating we took in the comments. Billy Wagner (aka, our spotty, petulant, erratic server) has officially been dumped. Now serving: Brian Fuentes. The jist: As the audience grows, you have to do this thing called “optimization” and we thought we had been optimizing for the last three weeks. Not at the level that was necessary. So we had to pay an optimization specialist to work his magic. Best way to see if our money was well-spent: Tell all your friends about the blog, or call Colin Cohwerd and tell him to try and knock us out again. We won’t be angry if Fuentes falters … from here on out, it’s on the “specialist.”

Thank you for addressing this in a post TBL. Hope this new server works out.

Before we go any further, all right, we have to swear to God, Allah, that nobody knows about this but us, all right? No family members, no girlfriends, nobody.

who did you have handling this before?

You did not create great optimism by trading Billy Wagner for Brian Fuentes…

The only closer I trust is Kyra Sedgwick.

Brian Fuentes? Didn’t he lose his closing job last season? Might I suggest Joakim Soria? He’s young, shown he can get the job done, and he’s got the potential to be one of the best ever. I’m just saying. Fuentes is barely better than Todd Jones. I don’t like this gamble.

And this will be the last time that I suggest this, but I don’t think anybody would begrudge you for trying to make a little coin off this here site.

Lets see Fuentes get out of this jam

Mrs. TBL has been saying that for years, but she still married him.

Forget the paypal link. We need a home address, so we can drop off anonymous envelopes full of cash.

TBL, it happens. for those who bitch, too f’ing bad. last time i checked this was a FREE site. now if you charged…
July 8th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
I like how J2B says we can’t bitch and then proceeds to bitch about the people bitching.

You know the Nazis had pieces of flair. They made the Jews wear them.

And the state of CA has implemented a new form of flair to combat that thing called global warming…

Dammit Sparty. How the hell did that one slip through moderation? Get me the fucking interns.

I get one really good one a month…in all seriousness, i use to say that about myself at my old job. it was quite sad.
July 8th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
“Brian Fuentes” has got a meeting with the Bobs… yeah, they called him at his mother’s basement…
