Sure, but not here in Europe. Anyway, I wouldn't mind watching a baseball match. I have no doubt it is interesting, but I guess european TVs don't think the same.

I guess that they don't think there will be much of a following for it. For the most part baseball is not constant action. If it was a new sport today, it would never catch on because of the need for constant action by the viewers/fans.

It caught on when a game was meant to take a few hours, as a way to pass the time (henceforthe the "National Pasttime"

You know, the starring sport here is soccer. Everybody seems to be a bit crazy for it nowadays. You have to blame TV for that, because it takes a big focus even in the news. I don't like it very much, in part for that reason. I prefer tennis or basketball, though I don't usually follow it on the TV, but major events.
Actually, I'm keen on Formula 1 (another version of NASCAR), but it's due to the fact of Fernando Alonso being a fellow Asturian (Asturies is a region, a kind of state, in northern Spain). Oh, Fernando Alonso is the actual world champion, and he is struggling with British Lewis Hamilton for this year championship.

Up to 10 (for mohrorless: baseball team + a manager). 4th place in RAC, 8th place (and climbing) in total credits. The project finally found some work for Gralfang's AMD Duron machines (host ID=1614: 64 KB cache? What is it?)!

The 10th would be a benchplayer or a relief pitcher the manager does not count towards the #of players on the roster.

Anyone know why Cosmology@Home seems to detach on its own from my one and only BOINC client? I have re-attached 2 times up to now.

It didn't attach from my pc at home, but over the weekend (according to Boinc) the remaining WUs were aborted by Cosmology and no new WUs have downloaded! The pc at work was not effected.

Mine has never detached since I attached it. I blame your shrubbers.
