Last Man on Earth returned tonight and was fantastic as always.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 04:41 PM) Dropping 'Crashing' after last night's ep. I'm going to watch it tonight.

So yeah, outcome was good, but the fans were real annoying. Later all the bars were packed with Hawks fans and I don't know if I saw more than 4 or 5 Predators jerseys out after the game. I don't know if Hawks fans drank all the bars out of their kegs like we did 3 years ago, but the DJ at the TinRoof made a reference to it. And as I noticed last time, Nashville is such a surprisingly clean and safe-seeming city, at least downtown.

Anyway, Nashville was a good time this weekend. But the chants they have at the stadium are so s***ty and petty. Well to start, they obviously have their "Keep the Red Out" campaign. Then the PA announcer before the game read a line about "No one comes in to OUR house and pushes US around!", then when Hawks fans walked down to their seats before the national anthem, a Preds fan at the top of the stairs told each Hawks fan to "Be respectful during the national anthem", implying Hawks fans aren't. Their "Hey!!! You suck!!" chant and pointing at Hawks fans after Nashville goals is obnoxious. Then they did a CRAAAWWWFOOOORRRRDDD chant after every goal, followed by "You suck!" and "It's all your fault!". They boo Kane tremendously every time he touches and puck, and they played a video on the jumbo screen with their mascot beating up a dummy in a Hawks jersey while the fans went wild and cheered. We had an elderly man 2 seats down from us wag his finger in our faces after the Preds tied the game 3-3. A guy behind us asked out loud how "All these people have no problem rooting for a domestic abuser" after Kane scored. Same guy later yelled out that Crawford is an overrated piece of trash p****. Same guy also ran out of the building after the open net goal by Kane.

Saying you're not sexually attracted to a certain type of person, even if it's based on race, is definitely not racism. There are multiple ethnicity and races of women that I am not sexually attracted to. It doesn't mean I treat them any different as people, it just means I'm not trying to f*** 'em. How is this a thing?

Moncada strikes out in a 6-pitch AB in which he didn't swing the bat. However, the strike-3 called was a solid 5 inches inside. But the dude definitely has some patience at the plate.

QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Mar 6, 2017 -> 05:11 PM) nice AB by Zach Collins! f***ing internet connection completely skipped over his AB. Did he double?

My internet is lagging horribly right now, so I missed it, but Collins just picked off at runner straying too far off 1st. Hopefully a highlight goes up because Merkin said it was a great snipe by Collins.

I'm in Nashville for the game tomorrow. Assuming Glass makes his debut.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 3, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) Thank god. Just over 3 weeks until we have it.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 3, 2017 -> 10:40 AM) I wish the defense in The Show would play as smoothly as it did in MVP 05. Having said that, The Show is amazing and I'm with you, I need to squeeze in a few games a week in RTTS. Defense and ball physics are a big thing they worked on for the new game. My biggest issue was turning double plays. If the throw to 2B was short, I wouldn't have enough time to preload a throw, so my 2B would hold the ball for half a second before throwing to 1st instead of doing it in one fluid motion because it was waiting for me to get the throw meter in the green. Also, urgency of defenders was always an issue that has apparently been fixed as well.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 3, 2017 -> 09:52 AM) Stoked for The Show. First baseball game I've purchased since MVP 05. Wow, you're going to be mightily impressed. I'm still playing my franchise from last year's game. I play a few games a week.

Ha! Very nice.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 06:39 AM) I pre-ordered The Show 17 so I hope this is true lol had to take advantage of 20% off though I did read 5here was a Groupon for 50% off which I never received an email for. I always go to Best Buy, ask for the special edition one, and then see if they will pricematch to Amazon's standard edition price of $47.99. It's worked 2 years in a row.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) Awesome, yea we try to get one nice suite so that we have a good place to watch games/pregame when not at the tables/sports books/pools. MGM Sig has nice places and so does the Elara Hilton. This year we have one of the Golden Nugget suite's: I'm interested to see how Downtown is for a few nights, only been there for a few hours before and it should be a pretty different experience. Typically we stay near the Cosmo, love that area. Holy s***, that's your suite?? And I'm glad you say that about the MGM Sig, because that's where I'll be for a bachelor party this summer.

Kopech's start vs. Seattle will be on whitesox.com

I'll be getting MiLB.tv this year for the first time. Gots to watch those youngsters play.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 27, 2017 -> 06:31 PM) I haven't had much time or energy for games lately, I dove into Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 but haven't been able to commit to much else, mostly playing indies here and there but Horizon is right up my ally and so far so good, its absolutely gorgeous and tight as hell, this is the kind of game that sucks me in. Between this and Andromeda later in March this is the most ive looked forward to games in awhile. Did you really get it a day early? I'm surprised they can do this.

WE ARE LESS THAN 12 HOURS AWAY FROM WATCHING WHITE SOX BASEBALL PLAYERS PLAY BASEBALL. Like Jesse in the b****, I'm so excited.

A few guys at work are talking about the new Ghost Recon Wildlands game, but after watching a couple videos of it, I don't see the appeal. It looks like The Division with less of a storyline, or Far Cry, without the fun arcade style play.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 07:47 PM) Yeah, I don't mind giving him a look at second, but otherwise I'd be floored if he could play a solid CF. Yeah, if you can turn a 2B in to a CF, I don't know why you wouldn't, unless you were protecting said player from injury by hiding him at 2B.

Some dude, whom I totally forgot the name of, hit 3 HR tonight.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 08:41 PM) Steve bannon spoke today about his daily war to destroy the federal government. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/top...b643_story.html Steve Bannon looks like a South Park character come to life.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 09:48 PM) Hopefully. I have a love hate relationship with the WBC. On one hand I love any sort of international sporting competition, on the other hand, I hate seeing a Sox asset taxed unnecessarily early in the year. It was really cool though being in Sunset Park BK when that Mexican hat took off from the 2009 classic, it was like every dude on the street had on that hat for a few weeks, really showed that MLB can be a "cool" sport. I don't mind hitters in it, but pitching playing in it makes me a little nervous. Spring games are a good chance to work on things. WBC games are full bore.

Damn, Hawks offense is clicking hard right now. Defense...could use some work.
