As I anticipated as early as week 15, Craig Krenzel (QB-OSU) was released today by the Bears. The dude simply can not play professional football, however, I wish him the best of luck in the future and you have to think this guy goes on to a sparkling medical career. Current Depth Chart (IMO): 1. Grossman 2. Hutchinson 3. Orton 4. Kitner

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 04:57 PM) BTW Addy, for the minor leaugers, I don't have the link, but EA put the Top 100 minor leaugers in the game, just not there real name. BMac, Anderson and Sweeney are in the game, just not there real names. There is a list online some where, just do a little diging, and you will find it. You guys are awesome. I get a little geeked out with these EA sports dynasties. You should see my College Football dynasty; I literaly have a notebook in which I create and distribute 10 prospects each season. Although you can't choose which school your prospects end up at, it's a ton of fun to watch where they go and try to snag one or two of them yourself. It really makes things much more fun to track their progress and success. I plan on starting my dynasty tonight or tomorrow, so if you guys could help with the online roster stuff I should be off and running. Oh yeah--one more thing--I absolutely destroy. Bring it on.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) What system are you using? I used the PS2 modem and downloaded the "official" rosters from there a month or so ago. I never bought a sharkport so I haven't ever got the rosters off the internet. Also, if you have it for PC I think you can download the rosters that are up to date as well. I have a PS2. Do you have to register with EA or anything goofy like that? I mean, I'd love to just download one versus putting everything in by hand.

Beautiful guys. Thanks a ton, and I mean a ton, for the help. If I have any questions regarding the downloading of rosters via the internet, I'll let you know. Did you guys ever use the internet downloads, and if you did, what kind of expierence did you have? Sounds pretty badass.

Disclaimer: Attention all mods and admins, although I'm fully aware we have a 76 page thread for MVP, I have neither the time nor drive to make it through 76 pages. I know you guys do a lot to keep this place nice and tidy, so all I'm asking for is two or three days before you merge. Thanks. 1) What can be done to update the rosters for dynasty mode? Is there a way to get Sosa to the O's, Delgado to the Fish, etc. without ruining the integrity of the game? 2) Do you guys recommend plugging all the minor leaguers in or would that take far too much time? 3) Should I create Tadahito? Did any of you guys? 4) What constitues the "default" rosters for dynasty mode? In other words, can I put Sosa to the O's, Delgado to the Fish, before actually opening up dynasty mode? Or, is there a way to do these sorts of things once inside the dynasty? Well, I think that's about it for now, I'll post more if I got em, thanks for the help. Basiclly, I'm concerned with the rosters and such. Thanks.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) When I first read this thread I couldn't stop laughing... SO FUNNY! Ummmm...yeah, we got it.

Per ESPN Radio Sportscenter: Phil Jackson agreed to terms with the LA Lakers and will hold a press confrence this afternoon.

Wow! Don't get me wrong, I'm just as excited about Broadway as the next guy--but, entrenching himself in a god spot in the rotation? That's impressive.

Perhaps. In the meantime, how about we applaud his recent outings. The guys has looked fantastic. I don't know if Neal has a future in this league as a starter, or if that would be on the Southside, but if that is what he wants to do, he's going to have to spend some time down in the minors getting streched out and working on another pitch.

Talk about a Freudian slip. Or is it...a Freudian splitter. Thank you, thank you; I'll be here all week.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) Que? Per Conan "No hablo"

I've been looking forward to this call-up for awhile now. I have been mezmorized with the Brewers system for a few years, waiting to see these cats at the big league level. Unfortunately, it comes at Branyan's expense--a guy I just love to watch.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 12:05 PM) Whatcha think? knight, you have me falling out of my chair. Awesome work!!! Goldy, you're up!

Since when does Tank play baseball?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 10:27 AM) Ok how is this. You're down on a guy with a 2.80 minor league ERA coming into this year, a 3.00 ERA in ST this year, a guy with a 1.15 ERA in a bandbox? Whatever floats your boat. Are you daft? I clearly said, and I quote: Is it really that difficult to follow? Maybe I'm not making myself clear this morning. Funny how both Jabroni and 101 know exactly what I was getting at, but you failed to comprehend my logic.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) I don't even give a flying f*** if he posts here. All I know is his numbers this year are more than deserving of a promotion. Hence endorsing his promotion. Where's the problem? Or are you just trying to stir the pot per usual?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 10:12 AM) One quick question Addison, why aren't you high on Baj? What has you down on him? Just curious I don't feel I need to like the guy because he posts here. From what I've seen, as small a sample size at it may be from either last season or ST, I think he has very ordinary stuff...nothing to write home about. But, if he can get guys out at the major league level, I don't care what he throws.

If would like AddisonStSox somewhere in the upper-right hand corner, with Soxtalk.com in the lower-left hand corner and I would like this to be somewhere on there as the slogan: "I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought"

Alright fellas, I'm in no rush, but I challenge the three of you (or whomever else wants to give it a shot) to make a sig with Bobby Jenks and the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. Here are some pics to get ya started:

Estes oughta get rocked--and I mean rocked--in USCF. If Contreras holds them to 3 runs, we win this game.

Initail Reaction: Yikes. This really seems like a poor organizational decision. I know we were talking about Jenks yesterday and we all seemed awfully excited, but now is not the time. We are in the midst of a pennant race and we are going to bring up a flamethrower with mental issues? No. Let the kid try his hand at Charlotte and try out for the set-up role in 06--which I anticipate him winning. I'm not as high on Baj as the rest of the happy-pants posters around here, but if we are going to bring up a righty, he oughta be the guy. The only thing is, Guillen LOVES going with guys he has had a positive personal expierence with and if he still has doubts after Baj getting roughed up last season in the bigs (small sample size or not) he may pass on him. Hopefully Marte isn't going on the DL.

QUOTE(Hanky Panky @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) While we're on the topic of trades, Eric Chavez was 5 for 5 today with two homers. We had better trade for him soon before it's too late or he costs too much. Yeah, I'm sure Kenny will get right on that.

I might be the most vocal Harris-basher on this board (sorry Steff ) and yet I still endorse sending Timo WAY WAY WAY before sending Willie. A) Wille has tremendous range--a noodle arm--but first-class range at second B ) He is the team's current backup middle infielder (Ozuna...ha) C) Although the pipsqueek can't seem to understand how to steal a base, he has awesome speed off the bench The Sox organization would be foolish to re-assign or trade Willie at this point--he's an injury away from being a starter and the probable starter on a good fifth of the league's teams.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 06:09 PM) That was only close to a strike because the current strike zone in the mlb is ridiulously low. Raise the damn strike zone. This oughta be good. Let's hear this one qwerty.
