AJ looking for a triple crown this year.

99 more of these threads would be nice. Cleveland won't get 2-hit many times this year.

Johnny Danks no doubt.

Alou lets Bartman off the hook. Somehow I don't think Steve will appreciate this gesture FIVE YEARS LATER.

Welcome back optimism

Mark, you're off the hook you lucky SOB.

Does anyone think there's a trade opportunity out there that will make us better than Detroit or Cleveland? 3rd place is a lock IMO.

Illini making a run here this weekend!

Your efforts are appreciated.

I think I'm gonna settle for a GC controller. I can't find a Wavebird better than $50 used + shipping. Seriously Nintendo, why did you stop making these?

In a moment of weakness, I bought a Wii and Brawl. 0473-7487-2815 for a good time Anyone else using the classic controller? Or should I get a gamecube one?

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 25, 2007 -> 11:06 PM) Has a team ever got swept by a team in the NLDS that got swept by a team in the NLCS that got swept by a team in the World Series? This is the first time that even the first two things have happened so no.

A Rockies-Indians World Series ten years after a Marlins-Indians World Series would be pretty cool.

99 years and counting...

This reminds me of the 2000 ALDS. The Cubs have led for about half an inning this series. Soon everyone will forget the Cubs were even in the playoffs in 2007.

Tuning into Santo for the last couple innings and the postgame show. A nice cap to an otherwise miserable baseball season.

People who say Halo is overrated probably are basing that opinion on singleplayer. That's fine, Halo 1's singleplayer was good but not groundbreaking, 2 was a disappointment at best. It doesn't matter, the masses consume Halo for online console FPS play. What is so overrated about that? The fact is that alot of people love the competition. When you buy Halo 3, you are buying membership into a huge online community with competitions, rewards, and downloadable content. It's by far the biggest FPS community in console gaming and maybe in all of gaming. Personally, i don't like playing Halo online or any other console FPS's, but I understand why people do. I am more interested in the Halo 3 singleplayer, which we don't know much about yet. You can bet the ending will be better than Halo 2, though, since they aren't making another one. But go ahead and keep calling things overrated without backing up your arguments if it makes you feel better.

Wow ok, I have to admit this looks pretty fun.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 11:31 PM) Madden 2008 for the ps3 WILL be 60 fps, but NCAA will still be at 30 fps for the ps3. Good news. I haven't heard this but huge save by Sony if this is true. PS3 needs all the system sellers it can get and Madden has always been one. Great video here of one of my most anticipated games: Left 4 Dead. In short, it's 28 Days Later the game. http://kotaku.com/gaming/e307/left-4-dead-278432.php

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 04:27 PM) But the Wii will be played by gamers and non-gamers. I'm not a "gamer", but I love my Wii system. I know my in-laws have fun with it also. I think it will survive due to it being more than a "gaming system". It will be the thing that when you have family over they will want to play, unlike an XBox and such. Once upon a time board games were HUGE family entertainment. The Wii is the board game for the new age. I agree, it won't die out because it has mass appeal. The problem is that many gamers can become instinctively prejudiced against a system that prides itself on its non and party games. It seems like Nintendo, the company that beat Sega and won our hearts, is giving up. Like they are selling out to the lowest common denominator: party games and can't-miss sequels to proven franchises. I want to like Nintendo as much as I used to, but it's hard when it seems like they are focusing harder on broadening their base than pleasing the core gamers that made them the company they are today.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 02:35 PM) Guitar Hero is prolly one of my favorite games ever.. I cant wait till the 3rd one comes out in a couple of months Skip it and get Rock Band. You won't regret it and your money will be going to the right people in Harmonix.

Full album downloads available and online play mean I'll buy Rock Band and probably a guitar. Hopefully one of my friends is willing to blow $80 on a plastic drum set.

Lol, if you want a $500 PS3, you better get one this month because Sony is gonna stop selling them in the US.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 03:09 PM) Yeah it does. Between that, Lair, and Killzone 2 you can tell the PS3 really is capable of significantly better graphics than the 360. I was pretty amazed that the Killzone team actually pulled it off. You can't tell the difference between their in-game graphics and the CGI video. Incredible, really. I have to disagree after seeing the latest video of Mass Effect. Both consoles have shown they can produce CG-quality graphics when a team spends enough time and resources developing for it. If you have a choice, get this year's football games on 360 as they will all run at 60 frames vs. PS3's 30.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 11:48 AM) American made that is the scenario here....Japan has always been better in the electronics/high tech gadgetry department. 360's and PS3's are both manufactured in China. Microsoft was just cheap on the heatsinks which they are rumored to be replacing in refurbished consoles. Of course you void your warranty if you open it up to check. I still want to see a breakdown of the failures of launch units vs. the subsequent shipments. Mine was manufactured in May '06 and I've logged at least 200 hours on it with no problems. If you buy one, be aware that it's a hot and noisy console and needs alot of open space to be happy.
