QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Mar 9, 2010 -> 03:57 PM) Howard Stern was talking this morning about the writers not having any idea how the show will end........I am starting to think I agree. In the strory arc Ben was to be in four episodes. People liked him and he was written in more. They obviously write the episodes and figure out what the main plot of each season is as they go along, but I believe and still believe they had a master plan as the series went a long. Once they saw how great Emerson was they probably realized how great of a leader of the others he would be and wrote him in to be that. I doubt they just magically decided to have a leader of the others, and probably had plans for that role and decided that Michael Emerson would be perfect in it. Either way I don't really understand why people get upset if the writers make it up as they go a long, what show on TV isn't written that way? The show is still awesome weather they made up everything 2 days ago or 6 years ago. Can't wait for the Ben centric tonight, Ben's episodes are always the best.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 9, 2010 -> 12:13 AM) Someone teach me how to hit. I keep chasing on crap pitches. How do I learn pitch recognition. 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.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 8, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) Graphics are basically the same, or at least not enough to notice without playing the game side by side. Gameplay is virtually the same too. However, having Home Run Derby (most fun I have had) RTTS pitching and fielding training, online leagues, + all the little nuances (umps gather together and have video review for Fair/Foul HR calls, catchers taking masks off to field, pitchers actually being struck by line drives, fielders helping eachother out of hard plays, ect). False, they're noticeably better. The players look better this year too. Gameplay is virtually the same though.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) Please, a closer is a lot easier to replace then Joe Maur or Justin Moreneu. Hell, i could even argue that Baker contributes more to the team then Nathan. He's a good-to-great pitcher, but he gives you 5 innings a week if you play your cards right. And those 5 innings a week, are usually the most important 5 innings of the week.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 07:32 PM) I posted it when they cut the lead to 2. Sorry my bad I was pissed after the game and obviously just looked at that as a jab at the ISU fans. I still have no idea why Lloyd Phillips let whoever it was at the end make the basket with no contact to put them up by 4, when he should have destroyed him and put him on the line.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 06:11 PM) ISU is making this a wonderful wonderful ending.. That was completely necessary.

This may be the most frustrating basketball team I've ever watched.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) "The Cubs dont overhype their prospects" - Cubs announcers. LOL I laughed when I heard it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 02:09 PM) bomb Q Wrong game

Jones singles, steals, kotsay doubles him home 3-0

Lets give the ball to Dinma early and often today.

QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Mar 6, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) Watch the Cubs game live and catch the Dodgers game later on MLBN (if it isn't blacked out). The Dodgers game isn't live on MLBN, though it's live on DirecTV channel 694. Though I assume you, like me, are also going to watch the ISU game somewhere in there. I am probably going to flip between the two Sox games, and by the time the ISU game starts all the scrubs will be in anyway. I figure I'll primarily be watching the Cubs game so I will DVR the Dodgers one. Yes, that's the plan by the time ISU is on I wont be watching the white sox anymore. Go you Redbirds.

What game do I watch later today. Cubs on WGN? or Dodgers on MLB network? Two different white sox games on two different channels each live.

Birds win 69-65... Uni vs Bradley 1pm ISU vs Wichita 4pm

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 5, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) I started to get ready to go out tonight and all the sudden you guys are tied. Nice spurt to end the half it looks like. Austin Hill scored 10 points in about 2 minute to tie the game single handidly. It all happened so fast, I'm like shocked.

I really f***ing hate this team sometimes.

Go you redbirds

Well since no one mentioned it Missouri State won the other play in game 52-46. Drake vs UNI 12:05 Creighton vs Bradley 2:35 Wichita State vs Missouri State 6:05 Illinois State vs Indiana State 8:35

QUOTE (Stocking @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) Like jacks scar, maybe jin cannot remember that he learned english That would be epic if he just blurted out an english sentence later in the season, and all the sudden realized he could speak it without having any idea how.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) Nah I can, but that's why I said "comfortably". I have about $25 to last me until the end of school. Hah. Jesus, I spend like 25 dollars a weekend on a cheap weekend here(ISU) I would never be able to make it to May on 25 dollars. Where do you go to school?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Anyone else care to make predictions on this? SIU over Drake Evansville over MoState UNI over SIU Bradley over Creighton Wichita State over Evansville Illinois State over Indiana State UNI over Bradley Illinois State over Wichita State Illinois State playing UNI I refuse to predict this game. I'm too superstitious.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 01:57 PM) I hate CLo even more now Ya just the last two games tomorrow night are on 101 I think. Since the hawks are on CSN.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 05:55 PM) Yeah, the first time I went two years ago we went on friday and then skipped saturday and went back sunday. After that, we knew we wanted to go for the whole weekend. Hopefully we can make it to sunday so you get to see the redbirds win the damn thing. Ya, I'll be back at home then too so i want the 5 hour drive to be worth it.

If the birds making it to Sunday, some friends and I are going to drive down. But we couldn't find enough people who wanted to go the whole weekend worth it money wise.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 3, 2010 -> 12:07 AM) Nice, just nice. I'm refraining from Franchise mode until OS releases their Full Minors roster. I'm loving the customization though...my RTTS RF/2B enters to No More Mr. Nice Guy, and my name is actually said... Must be nice having a fairly common last name.
