QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:22 AM) Jesus, great hiding spot. No s*** man Thats genius, and he was only FOUR!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) When the injury first happened, the best guess was that he'd be back at the midpoint of next season, but since then, you're right, all of the news we've heard has been pretty good, "ahead of schedule" stuff. I don't think Miami would have given up a 2nd rounder if they thought at the time he'd miss the whole season. Not when Brees was still available. The only way this is true is if DC hit some sort of major roadblock in his rehab. Which I doubt.. I mean hes been in shorts and a tshirt throwin bombs on the practice field.. walking around WITHOUT a limp.. I seriously doubt that he is not gonna be able to play at all next season, and I expect him to be there on opening day UNLESS they hold him out depending on how much training camp he misses if any

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) ProFootballTalk.com hears QB Daunte Culpepper may miss most of 2006. Rehabbing from knee surgery after tearing his ACL, PCL, and MCL last season, Culpepper initially felt he'd be ready for the start of the upcoming campaign. However, there have been recent reports he won't be able to play at all this year. The Dolphins have pursued Joey Harrington and Tommy Maddox as insurance policies and currently have only Cleo Lemon and Brock Berlin, who's in NFL Europe, on the active roster. PFT is full of s*** Culpepper is ahead of schedule, he may not be ready for the opener but theres no way he misses the entire season

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 12:46 AM) Did you ever get your hand stepped on by someone wearing cleats? That'll do it. Nah never been stepped on.. I was always one of the faster players so they were never really close plays.. but I get what you guys are saying I was thinkin more along the lines of simply just sliding into the bag and breaking a finger from that

Well you guys can be happy with his .1 something batting average, but im not.. Those numbers could be even better if he was hitting Never questioned his glove though, nothing wrong there

QUOTE(KJean @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 09:52 AM) I was just wondering if anyone had any information about Crede having an appearance/ autograph signing this Saturday somewhere. I think I read about it on here, but then again I could be making it up. Thanks! It would be nice to see Crede make an appearance at the plate this season.. geez what is goin on with some of our hitters

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) Thank God. Sox win 4-3. Jenks makes me s*** my pants now. Why because a hot hitter right now got a hold of one? Hell be fine

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) The carry the gloves so they'll hold on to them while attempting head first slides. It reduces chances of breaking fingers. I dont understand how you break your finger sliding.. Who is going into the base sliding with their hands mashed into the ground flat? I havent figured that out yet.. I always assumed everyone just slid with their palms somewhat up, at least thats how I slid

Ide send them Anderson for him thats for sure

Since the Sox just won the world series I am not gonna add them onto the list.. Miami Dolphins (I would literally kill someone to have this happen) - - - - - Illini Basketball - Houston Astros - - - Orlando Magic - Houston Rockets - Houston Texans - Kansas State Football - - Colorado Avalanche (They got two recently so I am not as pressed to see them win another)

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 12:00 AM) If someone offered them the #2 and #3 picks, I think they'd still probably take Bush. Why, they dont even need Bush.. Furthermore, he is not going to be the superstar player everyone thinks he is.. He cant run between the tackles, I think he measured in at the pro day at like 5'11 206, something like that.. With the Texans offensive line, he will get hammered.. DD however has gained over 1,000 yards every year hes played.. He is also a very good reciever out of the backfield.. Its stupid to take another RB and pay him #1 money when you are perfectly fine at the RB position.. OLine is their biggest need by far

QUOTE(WCSox @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 11:26 AM) Yeah, that is kind of stupid. I'm pretty sure that there's a "hold all runners" button, though. If I end up no liking 2k6 after a month or two, I might pick up a used copy of MVP '05. Is MVP supposed to be some sort of a continuation of the Triple Play series? Both are made by EA, correct? Yeah but triple play was PS1 and I never really liked it that much.. You can find a used copy of MVP 05 pretty cheap as well

QUOTE(WCSox @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 09:38 AM) Haven't purchased a baseball game for several years (I'm more of a Madden guy) and haven't had time for games in general over the past few years, but I received a $40 gift certificate for Amazon.com and decided to give 2k6 a try. I've only played it for about 4 hours but, FWIW, here are my initial thoughts of the PS2 version... - I was somewhat disappointed in the graphics. They remind me of the crappy 2k1 game that came out on Dreamcast (the one with Pedro on the cover). Overall, I'd say that 2k Sports is about four years behind the curve. The graphics aren't BAD, mind you... just not as good as they could be. - The audio is better. Miller says some stuff that doesn't make much sense, but that actually adds to the realism IMO. I enjoyed Jeanne Zelasko making fun of the Cubs in the pre-game show. - I really like the pitching controls. The pitch selections seem to accurately match what the individual pitchers feature in real life. The hitting, on the other hand, is less spectacular. - No Brandon McCarthy on the Sox roster. Grrrrr! - On the other hand, the batting stances and pitching motions of the individual players are well-mimicked. The Cell is accurately-depicted as well. - Pitchers get overly-nervous is save situations. Yeah, I realize that they're trying to mimic reality, but they took it a bit too far. In the real world, Bobby Jenks has SOME command with a one-run lead in the 9th. - The one thing that really irritates me is the way that the CPU outright screws you once you take the lead. It seems that whenever I'm up by a couple runs in the 5th or 6th with an opponent on base, anything that I throw that's remotely out of the strike zone becomes a wild pitch. For some reason, I usually end up throwing multiple wild pitches in such innings. It's complete bulls***. After getting screwed by the CPU, I actually managed to pull back into the lead in one of the games. The CPU then forced four singles off of Jenks in the top of the 9th to tie. Thome hit what should've been a walk-off homer in the 13th, but the CF ran up the RCF wall and snagged it. Complete bulls***. I don't mind this kind of crap in the advanced modes, but all of what I described happend on the "Rookie" setting. Outside of that last point, it's a pretty decent game. I'd probably give it a 7/10. I'm still trying to get the hang of it and will probably enjoy it more after I learn all of the controls. Never had the opportunity to play MVP, but I was a big fan of the Triple Play series back in the '90s. I thought that TP was a more exciting game, but 2k6 is still much, much better than 2k1 for Dreamcast. You need to play MVP then, its better than Triple Play.. and way better than MLB 2k6 The graphics alone are so much better.. Have you noticed yet that the baserunners round first no matter where you hit it.. That was what pissed me off the most

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 12:01 AM) I know he hasnt been healthy and moulds hasnt had injury problems and should be the number 1 or 2 regardless, two good receivers should allow carr to find one of them downfield before the defensive line gets to him As long as the do the right thing and trade out of the #1 spot and get D'Brick they should be able to turn the ship around fast.. I am praying they dont take Bush

QUOTE(Tmar28 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 04:44 PM) Miami would like Chad Jackson Excellent pick. We take the BPA and get another weapon for C Pep Culpepper Brown Chambers Jackson Booker Welker McMike :Drool

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 06:42 PM) of course he has fans. K-Fed (or super K, as i like to refer to him as) is an amazing composer/rapper. God please be joking..

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 05:31 PM) Im having a terrible time trying to phrase what i am trying to say, I dont really know how to come across without sounding like an idiot( ). I guess I am desensitized is what it comes down to. I watch a youtube video called "Im Juggernaut, b****" and I laugh my ass off. I can honestly see this lacrosse player having a vile lingo that him and his buddies converse with and this statement, while crass-insensitive-homicidal-crazy it might sound, means nothing. If it actually applied to his knowledge of a rape, then to me he is a sick son of a b****. If he knew nothing about the rape and was just writing some off-the-wall-crazy-ass text message to his buddies, i really dont consider him a sick son of a b****. It seems I am in the minority, so I wont try to aggravate the issue. Well I agree with you and dont think hes sick either.. I found it pretty funny, it just depends on your sense of humor.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) I've never seen so many people in obvious denial about such a superior video game... Yes the stats are a little screwed up but the graphics more then make up for half an hour of tweaking it takes to make the rosters realistic. I'm wondering if all this hate is because they accidentally made your homeboy Baj black... Man you have to be kidding me.. if ANYTHING looks like PS1 Graphics its easily 2K6 The graphics are terrible, it seems youre the one who is in denial.. MVP is far superior to 2K, I dont understand how you can argue that its not

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) No Boone, right? I created him

How can you even send someone a bill in the TRILLIONS and be serious about it?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 12:37 PM) ESPN's reporting it as 4 weeks. Either way, tough break (no pun intended) for Cookie Crisp. ? ESPN is reporting he will be out 10 days Linky

2K6 sucks... the MVP Graphics blows it away, its not even close.. get out of here with that trash Anyways.. first game with the updated rosters and sliders... Atlanta beats me 5-3 I gave up all 5 runs in the second inning, a 3 run inside the park HR by Renteria and then a 2 run blast by Andruw Jones.. Atlanta 5 14 2 Florida 3 9 0 It was 5-1 in the bottom of the 9th and I ALMOST came back but with 2 outs and runners on 3rd and 2nd Hanley Ramirez flew out to CF.. I also hit a HR with Mike Jacobs, a laser shot to RF Willis went 5.2 IP, 11 hits, 5 ER's, 8 K's So far, this was the best game ive ever played on MVP.. I enjoyed the entire thing and thats the first time Ive felt like that about actually playing it.. Thanks for the sliders man, they are perfect pretty much

Gonna play my first game with the updated rosters and tonys sliders.. I chose to be the young and rebuilding Marlins.. This should be interesting..

QUOTE(chisoxdavid @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) Which ones are the red chewey ones? I am a sucker for Nike things. They are the ones that come in the red package and say "Chewy" on them I was inspired to go buy some tonight

Jenks (S,1) 1.0 3 1 1 0 0 1 9.00 The game was a good one, and I almost blew it by pulling an Ozzie and leaving Buehrle in there for too long. Thornton was able to get out of the 8th with the bases juiced and not let up a run though, so that was a relief. Jenks got hit hard in the 9th, but finished it with a double play ball. As for the sliders themselves, I liked them. I'm not much of a strikeout pitcher, so it's not surprising that I only struck out one person, but I do like that the computer was more wild than usual. There wasn't an abundance of power, and it wasn't that easy to keep the ball in the zone (as shown by Buehrle's 3 walks). The game was a close one throughout, and was much funner than without these sliders. Holy crap thats awesome.. those are the kind of games ive been dying for.. I am going to set it up right now and give it a try and see what happens
