Dunn hit a grand slam for me last night in MLB 12 the Show. His batter walk-up music is "Camouflage" by Brad Paisley. This is all a good sign.

Man, movies have been severely lacking for what seems like forever. I haven't even had the inclination to see a movie in the theater since GWTDT.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 01:29 AM) All you creamy peanut butter eaters are a bunch of jokers. You're missing out on all the good stuff. + infinity

Chunky, strawberry, untoasted. Anything else is simply stupid and I refuse to acknowledge.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 10:15 PM) Here's an interesting take on Dwight: http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/201..._medium=twitter It makes perfect sense. "I just want to win" but I don't want to win badly enough to join the team with the best record in the NBA with another young superstar and the league MVP? Here's the original Berger article: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/ken-berg...-him-to-chicago God, it's so annoying. Even if they had to deal Deng and Noah, Dwight and Rose is an insane combo and you have enough depth to fill out a great starting five any way you slice it. I'd get worked up about it but this has been known for months. The way the Magic are playing right now, they'd be insane to give up Howard for anything less than a king's ransom. Move along. Dwight to the Bulls can't happen. Bill Simmons said it best in his trade value column... This is a weird comment that can't be backed up but I'm making it anyway: I don't think any NBA fan base loves a player more than Bulls fans love Derrick Rose. If you went into a Chicago sports bar and started trashing Rose during a Bulls game, you'd get beaten up and left for dead in an alley. It can be confirmed by me. Chicago hearts our D-Rose. Felix calls us on it all the time. Dwight doesn't want to compete with that.

God. Damn. It. Hawks extend Carcillo 2 years.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 02:33 AM) Game Change on HBO was solid. I agree.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) Ok, pulse pitching and cursor hitting are way too hard. I am losing 1-0 in the 5th inning of my first game vs. Texas. I have 0 hits on offense with like 8 Ks. And pitching, I have only allowed like 3 hits, but I have 0 strikeouts and like 3 walks with Sale. I really don't think I'll ever do anything other than power bar pitching, good old MVP Baseball ripoff style. As for batting, zone + button is it for me. I like how every game is different. I put up 8 runs on the O's with like 4 homers and was worried that it was too homer happy. In the two games since, I've scored 0 and 1 run, with no homers.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 12:47 PM) LOL, I just realized that I can't make the draft. Oh well, I know it's incredibly lame for the commish to miss his own draft, but I'm not going to move it unless it's cool with the majority of the league. Dude. Move the draft for f***'s sake.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 11, 2012 -> 12:10 AM) And Swanson's ex-wife Tammy is Offerman's real wife, pretty cool. Yeah, that's Megan Mullally... she's rather famous. Nick Offerman went to high school with one of my co-workers. He actually owns his own woodshop. Not a joke. That's a hobby of his, which makes Ron's drunken work in the woodshop in, I think, season 2, all that more impressive.

Watching SNL. Jonah Hill got fat as f*** again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 07:09 PM) LOL Benny reading the Tribune in a lawn chair while the Jazz were intro'd. I was at the game and can confirm with photographic evidence. Also, Derrick.

That sucks about Rubio.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 11:37 PM) I'm officially hooked to HIMYM. Saw a few episodes today and I'll be starting from EP 1 on Netflix. The Naked Man and all the Slap Bets are absolutely hysterical. The first few seasons are awesome. Slapsgiving had me in tears.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 10, 2012 -> 01:16 AM) You wanna share these with me? lol PM me your email address. Last night I also downloaded the songs from MVP 2005 and have them playing in the menus. That takes me back!

Wow. The Show has everyone wearing 42 in a Sunday game. Wow. Wow.

That is quite a load-up Viciedo puts on his swing. That is not a swing that is going to lead to much success in the Majors, sadly.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) It would be Scola and Lowry. Lakers want a pg and they want more depth. They won't be doing any deal 1 for 1 involving Pau (unless its something ridiculously in their favor). That would be my guess as well.

Longtime basketball writer Roland Lazenby reports that Pau Gasol has been traded, but Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports refutes the report. Lazenby offered no details on where he is going or for whom Gasol has been traded for, but is reporting that more information will be given shortly. Wojnaroski has said that while Houston has been close in pulling off a deal, there is nothing imminent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 02:49 PM) Brooks is claiming that tickets will be cheaper in many situations with dynamic pricing than on places like stubhub. Alejandro walks, AJ bunts them over to 2nd and 3rd, one out. Nothing will beat those $5 day of game seats that will be available all season long on stubhub.

That swing Rios had in the first looked better than anything he did last year.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 02:17 PM) I hate seeing AJP. People who say this truly forget the black holes we had at catcher in the 15 years leading up to AJ.

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) Don't much care for the WGN boxscore graphic this season The location is moronic. Enough with catering to the select few sports fans who haven't upgraded to HD televisions. However, today's broadcast, though widescreen, isn't HD, so hopefully the location is moved.

I cannot experss how much the experience increases in The Show when you add all your custom sounds. Player walk-up music, Thunderstruck to start the game, Nancy Faust's "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" playing randomly throughout the game and after losses. Let's Go-Go White Sox after the game ends. I added CSN music for between innings. After a "k" the stadium plays hawk saying "HE GAWN". It's a perfect experience. Someone over at OS uploaded a ton of random team specific stuff too. I'm excited for that first game against Texas, and to give up a bomb, to hear the Natural music in the background. Anyway, can't wait to play more tonight. They made Sale a beast in that game.
