Dorks And Losers

Here’s a look at prob­a­bly the clean­est and most effi­cient server rack ever. Apple’s server included 3/4 Petabytes of stor­age space, 3 miles of fiber optic cable, 4 M2 Gb net­works, 90 Xserves and 40 Xserve RAIDs.

The San Fran­cisco Giants have THE worst August sched­ule. With weather affect­ing much of base­ball in early April, some teams paid dearly or will pay dearly. The for­mer affected the Mariners and Felix Her­nan­dez, while the lat­ter affects the Giants as the team plays an amaz­ing 31 games in 30 days with no off-day and includ­ing one double-header.

“If we’re pro­fes­sion­als about it, the kind of play­ers we are, and we know what we’re here for, it shouldn’t mat­ter for us,” Molina said. “Everybody’s look­ing for a day off, but it’s Mother Nature. There’s noth­ing you can do about it. I’d be more than glad to play 60 in a row. I don’t care.”

Ouch. This bru­tal August will play a huge role in the National League West Divi­sion, and let’s just say I’d be more com­fort­able with the Giants lead­ing the divi­sion at July 31, 2007 than not.

On a side note, a quote from Barry Bonds on Álex Rodríguez’s soon-to-be unprecee­dented April and pos­si­bly future sin­gle sea­son home run record:

“A-Rod, I’m so happy for him. It’s great. It’s phe­nom­e­nal to watch. I hope you guys enjoy it, too, because it is just phe­nom­e­nal. I hope he hits 100, I really do.”

Good for Barry. Too bad I didn’t see the video on him say­ing that. His body lan­guage would have given an more hon­est pic­ture than just his words.

The Giants are super hot, win­ning their last six games to reach 10–8. H-O-T-T, HOT!
