QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) Thats about right for a split squad... about half starters. Yeah, 5 starters, and good prospects. In the end it doesn't really matter I guess.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 11:55 AM) That's what I don't understand at all about the upcoming tablet craze. Seems so impractical to carry this sort of thing around with a large exposed screen like that. At least with a netbook you can close it so the screen isn't exposed. If I had one of these tablets I could picture myself only using it at home while sitting on the couch or something but maybe that's what they're ultimately positioning it as. Which again, is why you would buy a netbook for 1/3 the price, or a laptop for the same price, but can do a LOT more things. I mean, not being able to multi-task is such a killer. I wouldn't have bought it anyway, but once I found out is has no multi-tasking, it immediately became irrelevant. They are probably saving that for their iPad 2nd generation, so people will flip out about it and get excited again.

I won't be buying this for 3 reasons. 1) Netbooks cost 1/3 the price, and can do twice as much (multi-tasking especially) 2) It's such an awkward size to carry around, completely impractical. 3) I don't buy Apple products.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 09:32 AM) Have you tried asking your manager for a change or more playing time or a trade? That worked for me in 2008 RTTS. Not sure if they tweaked that in this version though. No chance I am going to ruin my shot at being with the White Sox. Anyway, the season ended, we won the AA championship, and in the offseason they offfered me a 2-year deal for AAA, so it's alll good now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 10:49 AM) Split squad vs Angels Peavy starting Danks LF Beckham 2B Quentin DH Pierzynski C Ramirez SS Rios CF Kroeger 1B Morel 3B Gartrell RF So the rest of the starters are in Vegas. Damn, Ozzie is not trying to beat the Cubs is he?

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 08:52 PM) Because the White Sox are coming back for that #1 spot! This would be my AB intro- because I would wish everyone i'd love was there that night! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zfbrNukQvc This would be my closing song if i was the closer! God, I totally forgot about Ludacris' Number 1 spot. That is such a kickass song/video.

So the only person I hit well is.......Tim Lincecum! Grienke, Zambrano, Halladay all dominate me. I was able to scratch 3 runs and 6 hits off Webb in 7 IP, but Lincecum i DOMINATED. I have 5 runs, 7 hits, and walk vs. him without a out recorded in the 2nd inning. You know who hit a 3-run HR? JUAN PIERRE! F'ing Pierre. Mr. 0 HR in 2009 hits a HR off Lincecum, it was epic. I tagged him for like 5 ER, 9 H in his 7 innings pitched. Also drew a walk and took a LOT of balls from him. I don't know why, but he is the only pitcher I can read for balls and strikes. I think it's his motion or something, but they brought in relieves, and they all dominated me. I was able to plate a run in the 9th off Wilson/Affeldt, but I lost 7-6. I let the CPU pitch for me, so I just work on hitting. I have yet to win a (non-RTTS) game in MLB 10 The Show.

Well, the Barons won the AA championship with a walk-off HR in the bottom of the 13th! I finished the postseason 1-0, 16 IP, 0.00 ERA, 12 H, 13 K, 0 BB, 0.75 WHIP. And the Dodgers swept the Twins for the World Series.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 11:48 PM) It's more about meeting your advancement goals, then stats. Usually if you meet every goal, and have good stats in that advancement period youll get moved up. I completed every advancement goal since about mid-June. I got the same email almost every advancement period about being ready, but keeping me in AA to boost confidence....

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 11:31 PM) I'd pitch him to the Cubs and see if they bite. But if they don't. you can't swallow that contract. Keep him and use him, just use him the right way. That's what I was going to say too. See if the Cubs want him, and pay half his salary or whatever. The only good thing Linebrink has ever done for this team is talked Peavy into coming here.

Just threw a complete game shutout in the playoffs with 8 Ks, and I got 940 pts.

Ok, I am setting fire to Kenny's house...... I stayed in AA Birmingham the WHOLE DAMN YEAR. My final stats of the reg. season..... 19-3, 2.03 ERA, 5 CG, 3 SO, 195 IP, 183 hits, 7 HR, 15 BB, 132 K, 1.01 WHIP And Daniel Cabrera got promoted before I did....... Time for the playoffs, I hope we lose.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 10:21 PM) Anyone know why Brandon Hynick hasn't pitched? I assume he's injured, but what's the problem? Wonder if this guy will ever go to way of Rick Ankiel at some point in his career. He hit .300 with 15 HR his final year in college, and hit .344 in AAA with Colorado (in only 32 AB) but had 2 HR and 4 doubles. http://thebaseballcube.com/players/H/Brandon-Hynick.shtml

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 07:59 PM) So annoying I'm on the verge on the majors, but I just can't seem to earn that promotion. I'm a 1B and in the beginning of my 3rd year in the minors currently starting for the round rock express(astros AAA). I've been traded twice so far. Yeah, I can't seem to get into AAA. I am about to finish my first season at AA, and my ERA has been sub-2.00 the whole way, even dipping down to about 1.89 with a WHIP under 1.00. I have struggled a little recently, but will still reach about 18 wins and almost 200 innings.

QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) maybe this will help you clear your head. Makes about as much sense as Across the Universe.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a5LvUrIIqw...feature=related

QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) Sorry, was getting at this: I have no idea what I just watched......

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 07:30 PM) I remember someone started a thread like this last year, I said Regulate by Nate Dogg/Warren G Awesome song.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 07:30 PM) http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0110912/goofs I disagree. I saw a show on TV about all the goofs in movies, and I am pretty sure they had a clip of Samuel Jackson admitting that he messed up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 07:05 PM) Nick Johnson is the most injury-prone player of the modern era. No thanks. Nick Johnson would like you to kindly take a look at this fellow....

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) Man, how could you diss Donny like that. Any player I get a chance to have an autograph from is a welcomed opp. You should never say no. I remember even getting Rick Brunson autograph one time. Yes, the exact reason I got a Brent Lillibridge autograph. I got Harold Baines and Gavin Floyd. And then I got Jerry Owens and Brent Lillibridge. I think they both actually devalued my ticket they signed.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) Frank Whaley played Brett. Look it up. Yeah, but the joke is that Samuel Jackson messed up his lines and called him Brad.....even though his name is Brett http://www.evtv1.com/player.aspx?itemnum=5691

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 06:57 PM) Had a blast today at the Sox-Indians game. Game was fairly by the numbers, Retherford looked great, Putz seems to have life on all of his stuff, Santos is looking like a major league pitcher, and Daniel Cabrera is a mess. What happened after the game is where the fun began. I had great seats right by the dugout, so after the game after being spurned by Ozzie and Cora, I got Nix over to sign a ball, Lucy came up behind him with a look of hopeful expectation on his face, I did not ask him to sign, felt awful afterward. Next, came Retherford. Really nice guy. Fellow next to me asked him if he was playing tomorrow, said nah, “Going to Vegas.” Next comes Jordan Danks. One of the most athletic looking guys I’ve ever seen. And I’ll tell you Jordan Danks might be the coolest damn guy on this team. We had the following exchange. Me: Think you’ll be in Charlotte, this year? JorDanks: Dunno, they haven’t told me anything yet. Me: at least they seem to be fast tracking you. (At this Danks turns with the biggest grin on his face.) Jordanks: Absolutely! (He then turned to leave) Me: it’s the production! Next comes Dayan, who still clearly struggles with his English, but was good enough to come over and sign. After all this I was pretty damn happy. The players had dried up, so we turned to leave, and made it half way through the parking lot before my brother realized he has left his jacket in the stadium. We had to run back for that, but in some sort of divine providence, we got back to the employee paring lot, right as The Carlos Quentin pulled up to the stop sign in his car. Got his autograph, thanked him profusely, and went on my merry.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 06:55 PM) Huh? The line from Pulp Fiction is, "Check out the big brain on Brett". Even though the characters name is Brad? right?

Gartell just missed that one. Let's go Viciado.
