The Marlins have a legit shot at having 7 guys do it. That would be crazy. Of course they're also going to set all kinds of strikeout records at the same time.

I want to listen to my vinyl records and i want to know what system to get. Does a turntable need speakers to listen to it? If it does then i might just have to get a record player. Just something that you can put your record on it and listen right then and there.

I would like to record a cassette tape to a cd but I don't know how! All I have is a stereo that has a cd player and one cassette player with recording capabilities in it. Can someone tell me how to do it?

What are your favourite scratching albums?
What are the ones I should get
@Perfect Gent,you misunderstood. I'm looking for albums solely comprised of DJing

I can't understand much, because there's part down saying that it needs new stuff, can i play 12 inch records on this?
What do you think of the player>?
And after how long do i have to change the needles?

Any Edison records out there?

He is often mentioned in as one of the big time FA's in 2010. Teams are clearing cap space in the hopes of possibly signing this guy. But, is he a true franchise player? Don't get me wrong, he's a very good player and is only 25. However, the Raptors have only managed to post a 29-45 record. Guys like Wade and Lebron have led their teams to much better records with similar or less talent.

Is he a franchise player?
Who does Wade have pal. He has Moon and O'Neal. The same 2 guys that Bosh couldn't get it done with. Calderon is a very good PG, and Bargnani is having a pretty good year. Not to mention Kapono is one of the top shooters in the league.

Who did Lebron have last year? Not much more that Bosh. I didn't say Bosh wasn't good. I was asking if he is a "franchise" type player.
A franchise player is one that is capable of carrying a team to at least a 500 record. With some talent around him, possibly far into the playoffs.
29-45 is a joke for a player that has teams unloading their talent in an effort to possibly land him. I don't know if he's worth the trouble.

I was looking at buying a record player for my husband. The brand is "olympic bsr" found it at a store but it has no needle for the turntable. How much would it be to buy a needle and do i need to look for a specific type of needle or are they all the same? It plays 78, 45, and 33 if that makes a difference! As you can tell I don't know much about record players!! I dont even know if Olympic is a good brand :\ If you have any advice that would be GREAT! Thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Postseason HR hit while playing with the Brewers.

Name the two players, how many postseason HR they had (hint: it's a single digit), and which current Brewer you think most likely to tie or break the mark.

A softball for Brewers fans on the first day of the postseason. It's been 26 years, Brewtown. Do enjoy, you've earned it.

(Washington -- you're next. Get on the ball already.)

After Kobe's spectacular record break performance and Lebron's vintage monster triple-double. how do you feel knick fans feel now? losing 2 straight games while being destroyed by two man. Not taking away anything from Kobe and Lebron (best player the the nba) but the Knicks SUCKS! D' antoni & the knicks players what are he thinking? Celtics visit next and Orlando in few days if he see another monster performance from the Big 3 or Dwight Howard, I think it's time for some chances in the Knicks.

I want an entertainment center with an open shelf for my tv so that it can be set at an angle to be seen by two walls of the living room. I also want a shelf next to it for my stereo and record player, so it has to be pretty deep. It should look like this:

I recently bought a record player and led zeppelin IV. the record is very dusty so I was wondering what to clean off the dust with. Also, is there any way I can get the scratches out?

I just purchased a "Radio-Art Cabinet" at an antique store. I am trying to get information on the web and cannot find anything about this piece and/or company. The cabinet is 32" wide, 19" deep and 39" tall. There are two doors in front that have detail work that I would like more info on. Both doors have a small profile of a man wearing a helmet located in the center of the woodwork. The bottom skirt has a small profiled face without a helmet in the center.
If anyone has any info about this company or piece please respond. Thank you!
