QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 9, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) This "Temple" and the good vs evil stuff makes all the others tension throughout the series worthless. Those people essentially have zero roles at this point, and their evil leader is now a scared nothing in the big picture. So we basically wasted a few seasons focusing on their lives and their struggle? And the time skipping had basically zero meaning as well as the constant? WTF. I couldn't agree more. My wife and I are very much turned off by this season. THIS is how Lost is ending? Random s***? I guess it fits.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 10:04 PM) I think we solved out too many forward problem, Buff should play D, he's very good at it. Somebody missed the breakaway that was a direct result of Buff's D-suckiness. Now, in the general Blackhawks-concern portion of this post: Thank God this is happening now, and not in the playoffs. The Sharks are having similar issues right now as well. That hit on Seabrook was disgusting. Let's not forget that Wiz was retaliating after Seabs hit Perry to the head in an uncalled penalty. However, Wiz left his feat and put his elbow into Seabrook's head. Seabrook did not have the puck, and that hit came with an intent to injure. I'm sure Seabrook is concussed, but hopefully he'll be back sooner rather than later. The refs ignored a disgusting hit on Sopel later in the game, when he was also without the puck and was railroaded from behind that directly led to the game-winning goal. There seems to be a mark out on the Blackhawks, and if the refs aren't going to help, we need to figure something out. Last night's game was a f***ing joke. The NHL needs to better police these guys or else we're going to have some big time problems. We are a team that can be bullied, and that's not good in the playoffs.

The White Sox are not crazy enough to be interested in Dukes.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) I've looked over all my sliders and gameplay settings a few times and everything looks normal but my RTTS player is hitting .430 with an 1.100+ OPS, 18 HR and like 70 RBI going into August in the first year of his career on All-Star difficulty. I have something like a 50 game hitting streak going and I'm no longer receiving points for it, don't know what that's about. I'm not sure I'm actually having fun at this point, there doesn't seem to be much of a challenge it seems that in every RBI opportunity at the very least I'm good for a shot single through the 1B/2B hole. Maybe you need to put down the controller for a bit...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) What's the worst that could happen... He plays like s***, and we are right back to where we started. It just goes to show more so how much of a f***up the whole Huet situation is... as a lifelong Blackhawk fan, the past couple weeks have been rough, and seeing this bum in net will not make me happy.

Wow, f***ing Crawford is STARTING tonight. Ugh.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 06:16 AM) I also enjoyed it. Glad to see Walton Goggins' character wasn't killed off. Seems like he'd make a great villain. I was surprised he was the villain, I thought he'd play a different role. It will be interesting to see how he's used from here on out.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 09:24 AM) Which full minors roster did you use? I was waiting for O.S. Full Minors. It was just called Complete+Minors, and I checked and things were mostly accurate. For the big spects, I edited appearance to my liking. I've been following O.S. and it seems like those will never come out, I couldn't wait any longer.

General manager Mike Rizzo called the release "a performance-based decision" but also implied Dukes's place in the clubhouse adversely affected the Nationals. Rizzo said the Nationals "will be a more cohesive, united group" without Dukes. "The clubhouse will be more united," Rizzo said. "We'll have a better feel around the ballclub. We'll gain just by that alone."

Yeah, baseball-related does not apply to Dukes.

Nutjob

Really, there's no excuse not to run Johnson out there other than discipline. I can't argue with it as it would teach a bad precedent if they ignored such things.

My God this game is great. A wonderful full minors roster was released so I finally got to start a season. I tell ya what, feisty, when you put real at bat music in and queue up "Boom" perfectly for Bobby coming in, the s*** seems real. It's also nice to be able to hold my own at the plate now. It's not like I score 10 runs a game (though I did score 9 last night, TCQ was 1-2 with 2 bbs and a homer, and Andruw Jones of all people pinch hit in the 7th, got a 3 rbi double, and then in the 8th was up again and got another rbi double)... that Indian's bullpen sucks. It's really a great, great game, and it's nice to just have a batter's eye capable of not striking out every at bat anymore. Kev's suggestion of learning the zone and look of pitches on rookie before going to veteran was definitely the key.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) Anybody watch Justified tonight? It was great... "You know what that is? Nope? I dint neither. That there is the cap that goes on a rocket launcher..."

QUOTE (G&T @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) Score says Huet has the flu. That f***ing p****.

Why is Corey Crawford being called up?

QUOTE (Jim Spencer @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) Everyone knows Ovechkin is a dirty player, but I also don't think he should be suspended. I just wish we'd play them one more time this year repeat-offender

I think the White Sox presently have one of the best if not the best 3 uniforms sets in baseball.

ugh

I used to LOVE skitchin'... my buddy and I played that all the time. It was, clearly, a blatant ripoff of Road Rash, but it was still cool. Road Rash 3.

Love it.

Mauer being traded would mean in my mind that MLB is broken and needs to be fixed.
