Oh jeez, if that rumor is true, then this is a great day to be a GTA fan.

For us ignorants, who are Opie and Anthony?

Owned. GTA > Any Halo game. The replayability value of GTA is massive. Halo's, while good, is not. Beatsly, it had gotten delayed about a week.

That would be pretty badass if I got mine early, too. Be cool, gamestop, please be cool.

Who cares if a player goes to a bar after a bad outing? It's what they did back then, and it's what Ozzie suggested they do after the first game of the season. Willie's still young, if he were the age of Valentin and "b****ing", then I'd get on his ass, but he's still got a lot to learn. I'm sure Ozzie gave him the talk when he read the papers. And, as far as I know, he's only complained once to the media. He showed the talent this year, now in my opinion he should get another year to break out.

Oh man, the closer this game gets, the more and more excited I get. Just watched the latest trailer on IGN and man does it look beautiful! It seems you can parachute, too! Amazing! Also, the radio stations have finally been released! IGN has the scoop on them! http://ps2.ign.com/articles/557/557665p1.html Man, the radio stations are gonna rock. Only, it seems there is no Fernando. I'll miss Fernando. 1 Week!!! Begin the countdown.

aboz, why don't we give Willie another year, like Aaron, instead of giving up on him so quickly?

If they need an SS and 1B, what about a trade with Wilson Valdez and Ross Gload or something along the lines. If we traded PK too though, I'd want to keep Gload.

Erm, Crede has had success in the majors, albeit when he was a call up a few years ago.

Why all the hate for Willie? Holy hell, he showed me some serious potential this year, what with five for five games and a strong start to the season. And not to mention, this is just his FIRST full season in the majors. Not every player is Albert Pujoles who shines right away, case in point, Aaron Rowand. Give the damn kid another year.

Name was on the tip of my tongue, but I could not remember! Thanks for telling me. A-Rod = Owned 20 something million doesn't buy you the umps. Owned Owned Owned

Sounds like the fans are yelling "Bulls***". They're the bulls***. MEGA

^Red Sox at Yankee Stadium

WHOMG!!! AROD PULLED A EX BRAVES FIRST BASEMEN FROM LAST YEAR!!! CHEATER!!! YOUR OUT CHEATER!!!

Only time I watched, they talked about NHL and hockey. I wouldn't have expected anything ground breaking from KW.

Anyone just see that Fox News blip and they said something about a "self help group for long suffering Cub fans". ANd then in the background some stupid old lady is crying with a handkerchief. What a bunch of f***ing babies. Babiest fans ever. f***ing losers. And you'd think Sox fans didn't even exist.

Haha, I didn't get into baseball much until 2001, so I felt no pain!! And rally caps are fun and they are a baseball past time. Whoever included that as attention getting is mistaken.

Jeckle, you already got your say in this thread. There's no need for you to post crap every other post about how you hate it and little snoozing smiley guys. If you don't like them, say it once, and LEAVE THE f***ING THREAD. f***ing spammers. Excited Necrophiliacs, is one.

Keep this on topic, please. Hey Punch, could you please elaborate on these mental toughness issues you believe he has?

Fox just said he is a free agent and a huge ground ball pitcher. He hasn't had the best year over in Boston, and from what it sounds like, he's developing badblood with manager Tery Francona and could probably use a new home. He's also had a pretty bad season, which could lower his value as a free agent. If we can't sign or trade for a top of the rotation guy, what do you folks think of Lowe as a possibility?

Sprite I might make an exception to, but none of those are better than water, in my opinion. Gatorade is just nasty sugar water. Coke, I don't even know what the hell Coke is. Carbonated water with syrup or something. Milk is cool in the morning. Coffee is pretty nasty. Iced Tea makes me want to vomit for some reason.

Beer is gross. It's like wine. Why do people even drink wine? It tastes like absolute s*** and doesn't even quench a thirst. God damn, water > any other beverage.

A year after spending his lifes savings on his beloved Marlins World Series tickets, Mr. Badillo finds himself in a financial hole. He's just been fired, he's living off of stale bread and food. HE moved into a hole in the wall apartment. While thinking of ways to rake in some money, he started buying lottery tickets with his small Burger King paycheck. Why, oh, why did he drop out of high school? He did win $500 once on a scratch off ticket, but that was after he had already spent $1,000+ on them. "I need to get my money back from that damn baseball game", Badillo says to himself. Badillo remembers friendly outfielder of the Marlins, Juan Pierre, tossing him a throwing practice ball. Badillo, already being drunk out of his mind, didn't even see it as it hit him in the face. It only hurt for maybe an inning, and he got a free ball out of it! Badillo looks at the ball neatly displayed on his shelf, along with a few third place bowling trophies and a box with about $350 in it. Badillo reaches into his box and pulls out a nice, crisp, $10 bill. "I need booze", he says quietly, for his brain could not think of a single thing to help regain some money. Fifteen minutes later, Badillo arrives back at his apartment with a twelve-pack of Old Style. Seven cans later, Badillo looks at the foul ball and comes up with a brilliant idea. "Those f***ers should pay fer my fifteen minutes of pain!!!!!!", Badillo shouts. He grabs his box full of money, a phonebook, and starts dialing for the cheapest lawyer.

As much as I hate both teams, when this Yankee team gels, it is over. I f***ing hate the Yankees.
