Holy shit - rip off of Press Start? www.vimeo.com/channels/pressstart

Press Start is an incredibly generic name. I sincerely doubt they intended on ripping off anything.

Hi!
No... we didn't want to rip off anybody, we actually had about 10 other titles for the show, but Press Start! was the most popular... and to be honest I didn't even know about the Vimeo channel!
Sorry if we pissed off anyone...

Am I missing something? Do the Rays have the best record in baseball with the 2nd lowest payroll? Are the Marlins the same team thats been in contention all year. Also, D-backs, As, Twins, Brewers, Phillies and Cardinals are all in contention and well below top 5 payrolls. Pay attention and stop the foolish complaining!!
