Alderson: ‘Big fundraiser tonight for gas money’
2 hours, 1 minute ago
NEW YORK (AP)—Even Mets general manager Sandy Alderson can’t resist pointing out the team’s financial difficulties.
The team tweeted Thursday afternoon that Alderson had started a Twitter account (at)MetsGM.
Alderson’s first tweet: “Getting ready for Spring Training-Driving to FL but haven’t left yet. Big fundraiser tonight for gas money. Also exploring PAC contribution.”
Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said Alderson was playfully responding to a New York newspaper that pointed out the GM was driving to Port St. Lucie—Horwitz said Alderson drives because he takes his dog.
Alderson then added in a second tweet: “We’re driving to St. Lucie because our dog (Buddy) doesn’t like to fly. His complaint: Where I sit, no lights and no stews.”
Coming off their third straight losing record, the Mets have cut payroll by about $25 million since the start of 2011. A trial is scheduled next month on the lawsuit filed by the trustee seeking to recover money for victims of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme. He is seeking $386 million, claiming the team’s owners were net winners from their investment.

Re: Alderson pokes fun at financial situation on his twitter account
in case anyone is wondering....something went wrong with my usual computer, so I'm using a different computer and runboard is setup to remember me as Maxwell Smart on this one...
my usual computer got dorked up after a "flash" update and being on imdb.com a couple nights ago, and I haven't been able to get it back to fully normal yet, so I don't trust it...and none of my anti-virus, anti-malware, or system restore attempts have fixed the problem (actually, they don't think that anything is wrong)...

Re: Alderson pokes fun at financial situation on his twitter account
Go to a website (I kid you not) called bleepingcomputer.com and search for a file called ComboFix:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
It's a slow, 38 or so step process (that runs automatically) but it can detect and remove things that no other tool I've tried can do.
Before you run it, get a program from the same website called RKILL that removes malware in memory.

Well I used this address: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill which wound up downloading something called "PC Performer" by Performer Soft...it found 408 errors, and stated that I needed to purchase their "premium version" to fix the errors...

funny thing is...google has me blocked on that computer...so I'm discovering bing for the first time...
after that "PC Performer" didn't fix the problems; I tried "Spybot" which found problems but only "fixed" 1/2 of them because it claims that I'm not an administrator...

Re: Alderson pokes fun at financial situation on his twitter account
so far, nothing is working on that computer...tried the rkill.net thing tonight, which found and destroyed a couple of "java" type of files...but it still acts like something is blocking google and replacing google with searchcore.net (which from what I read tonight, is not good)...
