e3 starts today with Microsoft going first. Nintendo and Sony go tomorrow, but Nintendo did have an awesome announcement today. The Wii MotionPlus, which provides 1:1 motion feedback:

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 12:06 AM) Lost in the PK hate sure to come over the all-star break is that Contreras is completely unreliable. We were discussing earlier how we are going to desperately need a fifth starter for the stretch run. The problem being getting rid of Count's roster spot. He has nothing anymore.

That may just be the single worst game I have ever seen from a single player. EDIT: Beaten. Point still holds though. 0-6, 9 LOB, and game costing defense.

0-6, 9 LOB, and game costing defense. Nice job, Paulie.

what a long game.

Come on guys. Extra bases should tie it. Let's go CQ!

Indoor volleyball, and I guess some beach too.

My God Konerko is just brutal out there. Also, nice to see another no namer add Cy to his name. Just a brutal approach out there, but Walk will keep his job.

Too bad Kong is up. Prove me wrong and do something.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 03:30 AM) If there's one idea which has been cemented in my mind from years of Sociology courses, it's winning the lottery will ruin your life unless you go to great lengths to hide your identity. Money changes everything -- particularly the relationship among family and friends. This isn't the place to discuss the topic, but all I can recommend for anyone who wins the lottery is to pay a substantial amount of money to secure your assets, hire a special FX company to disguise your identity at the press conference, and NEVER reveal your name. Ask the Whitetaker character whom won one of the largest lottery totals in US history how fame has changed his life. His grand daughter was killed because of the extravagant allowances he gave to her, which she -- in part -- spent on drugs. get into chat

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 03:00 AM) Was Carrassco a relief pitcher at Charlotte? I question why you would leave a relief pitcher used to maybe 2 innings at a time to stay in any longer than 30 to 35 picthes He was in long relief.

Why does Greg Walker have a job still? We have no clue up there, no preparation.

Get him out of there.

QUOTE (Steff @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 05:01 PM) Sounds like it would be a great fun for them. $500 and it's not even Christmas time is where i'm struggling. Gonna check out eBay. Maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks all. Steff Seeing how demand hasn't been met yet, there's a good chance it's even more expensive on eBay. But since you likely won't be able to find either in stores, eBay is still probably you're best bet. Also, it's 250 for the console, and 80 or 90 for Wii Fit. That should be everything you need. Not quite 500, but yeah, still a hefty price.

Who has ever hated on AJ? He has to be the most loved here.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 04:12 AM) So again, what would they give us? More salary room and it's a deal.

Happy 10k.

I've missed out on the last few chats. I know you've missed me.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 03:34 AM) So this is a ritual here now? Post a LOSS thread after every loss now too? Yeesh... It's been done for years now so I don't know where you've been. It's just a postgame thread, why not talk about it?

Had to be rigged.

Am I the only one who wants a sweep? Much preferably the Twins over the Tigers. It would make this a two team race and I would love our odds. I'd rather not let the Tigers keep hanging around.

Brendan Fraser is the man. Rewatch the first Mummy, reazlize it's greatness, then learn never to critisize him again.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 04:26 AM) Because he wouldn't have scored from second on a single anyway? I understand trying to get to third with less than 2 outs but when you're distracting the man at the plate on a 2 strike count your actions becomes counter productive. I didn't watch the game, but wasn't it just one strike?

As far as I know, we haven't announced a call-up but it will be a 12th pitcher. I'm not exactly sure on the candidates. But more importantly, what should we be doing with the closer's role. Liney now has 1 save to 3 blown saves. Dotel isn't much better with 2 blown saves, 34 career. Thorton is usually terrible in the 9th with the lead as well.
