I will keep Miguel Cabrera, Matt Kemp, Josh Johnson, Mariano Rivera, Justin Upton

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) He just got grazed. Left shoulder as well.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) Thanks for the correction. I thought I read a few weeks back that they were both Cubs. How long will it take Hawk to say its his 7th decade in baseball? I say he comes out with it in the first inning...and then several thousand more times throughout the season. Which will come 1st though? "Former Cy Young Award Winner, Steve Stone" or "7th decade in baseball"?

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 07:47 PM) http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged...der-100/1393386 Interesting... Could they get sued for that? It looks a lot like Nintendo's controller.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 9, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) This "Temple" and the good vs evil stuff makes all the others tension throughout the series worthless. Those people essentially have zero roles at this point, and their evil leader is now a scared nothing in the big picture. So we basically wasted a few seasons focusing on their lives and their struggle? And the time skipping had basically zero meaning as well as the constant? WTF. I have been confused by all of these as well. I am assuming they will tie it in somehow in the last 1/3 of the season but I am not so sure anymore. I wouldn't think they would just throw away all that information and build up...but I guess you never know.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 9, 2010 -> 02:05 AM) Lower hitting difficulty to rookie for a few games, timing only matters there. Just focus on swinging if it looks like its in the zone. Then try without guessing pitches to start getting the timing down. Once you get that figured out move back up to veteran because getting timing and strike zone recognition down while also worry about getting the location of the pitch with the analog is impossible, thats what I did last year and this year to improve my hitting. Then again I'm still really s***ty at hitting haha. Glad to hear I am not the only one that sucks at hitting. I think I will try that approach as well.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 10:37 PM) If that's the case, I'll PM & see what's up. If I don't hear back from everyone the missing parties by Wednesday, I think I'll give up the spots to who PM'd me about openings. I was just randomly looking at the board and noticed you were looking for someone for the Keeper League. I would be interested if you need someone. Ironically I choose South Side Hitmen as a name most of the time. Just shoot me a message if they don't respond and you need someone.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 04:36 PM) God of War III is getting glowing reviews. Unfortunately, I've yet to even begin begin GoW II. Same here. In fact, I only got the GOW I & II combo pack a couple of weeks ago. I will probably be able to hold out until GOW III goes on sale around Christmas time.

I finally got mine from Amazon. Can't wait to try it out tonight!

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 04:39 PM) Isn't he another slap hitter? I believe so. We need 1/3 of the lineup to consist of them to be more "Twins-like".

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 04:09 PM) It's pretty simple. Putz is pronounced "puhts" as in Yiddish for penis/fool But JJ pronounces it "pŏŏts" as in "puts" due to its Yiddish definition. Somehow the announcer has decided his name is "poots" which I have never heard before. Thanks Kal. Somewhere in my post that is what I meant.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) How do you think they should be saying it? I am not a grammer expert here...but I believe it is supposed to maybe be a soft "u" which sounds like a soft "O" but he was using a hard "O" sound. Not sure if that makes any sense at all, but I believe he was incorrect in his pronunciation. They have a pronunciation here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.J._Putz

Uh-oh...gas can is on the mound.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES! YEAH!! We will also sweep the Yanks in the ALCS by at least double digits every game.

Wow! Rios really drove that ball. Good to see.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Putz is in. Eager to get a look at him. Or Pootz as the PbP guy says.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 03:09 PM) He's got to stop squeezing that fastball, loosen your wrist a little and maybe it'll run in on righties and be more accurate. How long has he been pitching? He is a converted catcher correct?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 03:06 PM) I can't tell if that's a curve Santos is throwing, but it has some nice snap on it. Looks to quick to be a curve, can't really tell what it is...but it is definitely nasty.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) Santos coming in to pitch. Excited about this. I hope he continues to progress...we could use a power arm in the pen.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) Left handed. Nice. I wasnt sure if I was watching him in a mirror or not.

I am not familiar with this Threets guy. Anyone have a scouting report on him?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) A hit for Alex Rios! We're all saved. It was a good swing too. Good to see. I would still like to see him get a hit to RCF...but I will take anything positive from him at this point.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) I'm thinking Brent Lillibridge's problems are a slightly more extensive than "striking out a bit too much". That is an understatement. Is that what Melton said? I was watching the feed with no sound....couldn't take it anymore.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 11:25 AM) I got my copy of the show on monday night at the ol local gamestop for 9 dollars thanks to a trade in of borderlands and batman: arkum asylum Loving the game, just trying to get my batters eye back! I would swing at pretty much anything thrown at me for the first couple innings I usually have that same problem when I first start playing baseball game. I feel like Juan Uribe, every pitch looks good!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 09:11 AM) Amazon bumped my shipping date up. It's in town right now. Will be coming some time today. I wish it had a GPS tracking meter... Mine was pushed back! *Shakes fist* I must have pre-ordered too late. Have to wait until next week.
