QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:01 AM) I just downloaded the game for mac, do I still need to get the patches or do they update the game download when patches come out, as well? I don't know for sure, but it can't hurt to get the patches.

QUOTE(Drew @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) Correct. They are, however, available shortly after broadcast in most cases. Being in CA, I rely on MLB.tv for most of my viewing and am generally only subject to Nationwide blackouts. Fox owns the rights to broadcast, it's up to them when to let MLB.tv air games. If they are a game that you are being blacked out for, they don't become available until 6 AM (EST) the next day. If your zip code is here, you'll be blacked out for White Sox games: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/components/video/tv_2003/zip_cha.html

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) Honestly i don't know how anybody can not choose chelsea! They are stacked with talent and they won it last yr. Same reason some people don't root for the Yankees, they buy their players. I have a hate for teams like Chelsea seems to be and Manchester United is, and for that, I will never root for them.

It would be nice to get a hot streak going since I'm going to Baltimore to see them for 2 games next weekend. It starts now

Maybe my Sandy Alomar Jr. cards from my childhood will gain in value now! Probably not

SA Jr. has a 6.09 CERA this year

QUOTE(CySox @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 05:16 PM) JASON SCHMIDT!!!!???? DONTRELLE WILLIS!!!!!!!????? No thanks to both.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 05:12 PM) I agree. I also think Javy Lopez ain't happening either. There just isn't enough playing time to justify taking the contract. Jason had a good point earlier that if it meant the Orioles would also send someone like Cabrera, it might be worth it. Still, I don't see it happening.

QUOTE(2nd_city_saint787 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) why bring in/need a guy like Javy when you have AJ batting over .300?? Technically, AJ isn't hitting over .300 anymore

QUOTE(Young Gun @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 04:58 PM) Honestly, I don't see how that would work. Wouldn't Lopez want to start? And the fact that he's making 8.5 million this year, which would probably be around what, 3 mil for the rest of the year? I wouldn't give that to a backup.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) Other possibilites are: Josa Molina Jason Larue Sandy Alomar Jr. Javy Lopez Mike Piazza I doubt Piazza would accept a true backup role, and considering his defense, I don't want him as a backup. Our staff is already easy enough to run on.

Thanks for everything in '05 Widge, and good luck in your next softball league

AJ's average is offically at .300

Thats horrible Jermaine.

Pods

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) Sometimes I've wonder if any of our guys can actually hear. There's been like 10 near collisions in the outfield this season. Most of which were between Mack and Dye.

high strike

Goooooooooooooooooooooooch

That was a horrible bunt, but it got the job done.

All of you that are tired with Ozzie better be willing to eat your crow later in the year.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) I usually like Ozz' over-all plan, but depending on what was said to Jon, the club should have some serious thoughts about removing him as manager. Definitely. The manager who led the team to its first World Series title since 1917 should get removed for yelling at a pitcher who can't complete a simple order.

Garland misses twice.. wtf

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 02:43 PM) The out actually saved us there. Run would have scored regardless on the groundout, but it definitely would have been a DP. Now another opportunity to score a run. We would be in the same situation as right now, runner on third with 2 outs.

RBI! Woo!
