I actually like having a hard copy to pick up. I stare at a computer screen all day long, the last thing I’d want is to go home and read the journal on yet, another computer screen. My eyes are watering just thinking about it.

Love WSJ...so far superior to any other newspaper I have read.

sothball - October 14, 2010 reply

I like the fact it's not written at the 8th grade english level.

Great writing, great pertinent information. It makes the OCR look like the Lincoln Elementary 5th Grade Herald.

RexTookMyStash - October 14, 2010 reply

exact reason why

I won’t buy one of those ereaders. I like books

2pintsofbooze - October 14, 2010 reply

Rec'd

RexTookMyStash - October 14, 2010 reply

Agreed. I still like a book to read in my hands.

sothball - October 14, 2010 reply

plus I like having full bookshelves

it makes me feel smarter

2pintsofbooze - October 14, 2010 reply

My bookcase if full of 80 copies of Tucker Max books.

RexTookMyStash - October 14, 2010 reply

sweet

the next step is reading them

:p

Copyright laws are the last way artists can make a living, besides touring

yeswecan - October 14, 2010 reply

Most of my friends who used to dl free music all the time

now use iTunes or wherever else you can get songs for $0.99 cents, or albums for ten bucks.

This seems to be the future. Personally, I haven’t bought a hard-copy of a CD in years.

RexTookMyStash - October 14, 2010 reply

movies are next

soon there will be a hard drive in every flat screen, where you’ll simply download movies into your tv instead of buying dvds.

2pintsofbooze - October 14, 2010 reply

Online TV content is really growing. The cable and satellite TV industries must be...

…really questioning their business models.

sothball - October 14, 2010 reply

I feel like people watch 3% of their 500 cable TV channels.

Can you imagine only paying for the shows you actually watch? For people that aren’t glued to the tube, this is $50-$75 more bucks in their pocket that isn’t going to Comcast for Dish TV.

RexTookMyStash - October 14, 2010 reply

I am real close to dumping FIOS...

strictly for online content.

sothball - October 14, 2010 reply

As long as it leads to less plastic in landfills, I'm all for that.

RexTookMyStash - October 14, 2010 reply

glad to know you stand for SOMETHING

2pintsofbooze - October 14, 2010 reply

besides

hating DOV

2pintsofbooze - October 14, 2010 reply

I think we all share that bond.

mattwelch - October 14, 2010 reply

I can't get behind the "abolish drunk driving laws" thing, however

yeswecan - October 14, 2010 reply

Anyone who agrees with everything we write is probably an insane person

Point is to start conversations, including how best to prevent drunk driving!

mattwelch - October 14, 2010 reply

I usually get to your site through RealClearPolitics...

…can you measure the traffic they send your direction. If so, is it substantial?

sothball - October 14, 2010 reply

They're among our top 10 or so referrers, maybe top 5

Though I’m sure that was much less when Republicans ran Washington. Instapundit is probably Number Uno.

mattwelch - October 14, 2010 reply

Be sure to read Steve Lopez's L.A. Times column Monday or Tuesday.

He was part of a test group who smoked marijuana and then tried to drive on a test track. Even he was surprised at his ineptness.

angelslogic - October 14, 2010 reply

I'm all for stunt journalism, but driving is pretty low on the things-to-do-list for stoners

mattwelch - October 14, 2010 reply

Ordering pizza for delivery trumps driving.

RexTookMyStash - October 14, 2010 reply

I'm pretty much an insane person.

I’ve been posting on hit and run for a few years now.

Nashdiesel - October 14, 2010 reply

Libertarianism goes a bit too far for me...but in the right direction.

Lower government involvement to the lowest possible level.

sothball - October 14, 2010 reply

...already read your article earlier today on publishers admitting they are afraid of Muslim violence.

sothball - October 14, 2010 reply

Me too.

Good job Matt Welch.

44FAN - October 14, 2010 reply

Thanks again guys!

sothball - October 14, 2010 reply

back to work

I guess

2pintsofbooze - October 14, 2010 reply

Matt, great job. You not only have a good command of the material

But a smooth, fluent speaking style.

angelslogic - October 14, 2010 reply

You're making me blush!

Though it’s part of my job description…. Maybe you can start the write-in campaign to have me replace Gubi!

mattwelch - October 14, 2010 reply

Say the word.

angelslogic - October 14, 2010 reply

That was an entertaining and informative discussion

Thanks, fellas!

yeswecan - October 14, 2010 reply

Does this mean I have to get back to work?

RexTookMyStash - October 14, 2010 reply

Do that more often in the offseason?

SMUangelFan - October 14, 2010 reply

And sorry I can't support the Rangers....

You can’t support another AL west team in the playoffs. ANYONE but them, even the Yankees.

Nashdiesel - October 14, 2010 reply

Trying to re-listen to this tonight...

Nothing but commercials repeatedly talking over you guys…very loud commercials! :((

K3YEROUT - October 14, 2010 reply

About Napoli coming back or not....

These are the things I think about before I go to sleep. My brain is over-used from classes and then teaching and volunteering and working, so when I think of things like this, it helps me shut my eyes so I can wake up in a couple of hours and do it all over again.

I believe Mike Napoli is our most valuable trade chip at this point. Pretty much the only thing I’m sure of is that this Napoli/Mathis thing is dead. It’s going to be one or the other or none, but not both. I can see Napoli and Conger splitting catcher with Napoli also logging time at DH.

As far as BACK UP 1B…..Kendrick can play there, Rivera can play there, Wood can play there, Trumbo can. That’s the most useless reason to bring back Napoli. And in reference to Matt Welch’s apology about Trumbo, no apology is needed, I’ve been skeptical of the kid all along and I still don’t believe he’s ready to be a major league player yet. He isn’t doing anything in AAA that Wood wasn’t doing.

We used to talk and talk about Wood going down and working on his plate discipline, etc etc. And then for about a month, Wood would have it, and then lose it again. Trumbo gave us about a month of plate discipline and that’s it. HE’s wood all over again.

Halowood - October 14, 2010 reply

Jered Weaver and Dan Haren are much more valuable trade chips

c’mon…

Rev Halofan - October 14, 2010 reply

I should have clarified. Trade chips who we actually might be shopping.

There’s certain guys that aren’t available like Haren, Weaver, Hunter, Morales and of course Rob Quinlan.
