Well, I guess I've waited as long as I can for a PS4 The Show bundle to be announced. Apparently Meijer is having a deal where if you sign up for a credit card, you get 32% off your purchase, big ticket items included. Seems fishy, but I am going over there to check it out anyway. May come home with a PS4 tonight after work.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 12:28 PM) That's pretty cool, though it's already on PS3/PS4 with awesome interface. Yeah, but it's quicker/easier for me to send it from my phone then fire up my PS3 and get in to the app. I've heard the PS3 quality this year has been significantly improved though.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) I guess we have a minor league shortstop phenom, right? We have a third baseman in Davidson. Semien is future second baseman. Abreu at first. We have no catcher right now. We have a bullpen that can be built in free agency year to year i guess. Eh, no one would use the term phenom, but yes, our best prospect is a SS, Tim Anderson.

To be fair, that was a beautiful set-up for that goal. I'm glad it wasn't some weak shot that squeaked through

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 12:02 AM) It probably won't work for 3 months. I will try it out tomorrow or Saturday I tried live games today, and I kept getting errors. But I watched an archive game and it played silky smooth.

Toews just spun down for no reason. He may be concussed though.

I'm surprised that in double OTs in playoffs that more of the players don't just have blowouts in the corners. Some guys are up to 40 minutes of ice time now. Their legs have to be wrecked.

A week ago no one wanted Hoffman and he was a fringe top-10 guy. Now everyone is cool with taking him #3. lol. I'm kind of excited not only for the draft, but just to get these yes-no-yes-maybe-yes-meh-no-yes conversations over with.

I'll be watching in between periods of the Hawks game, and Abreu not playing makes that easier for me. Hopefully Sale can go 8 innings.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 05:19 PM) First big non-od crowd of the year and you're not going to play the player that everyone's going to want to see and might attract that crowd back later on? Lame Ventura. Didn't they have like 28K there last week when it was like 70?

QUOTE (beautox @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 05:14 PM) My hope is that we land Rodon at 3, Reetz at 44, Conor's brother Casey at 78 and a lot of pitching from 109 onward. The Perfect Draft.....can it be done?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) MLB.tv just got Chromecast support. That is fantastic news.

I blame Rick Hahn for not keeping Casper Wells around for games like last night. That dude had some dope stuff.

Unveiled today.... The Steeglemore. Hopefully Steeger plays as well as Macklemore raps, who knows how well Kaner/Toews do right off the bat.

Fargo was really good.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) Rodon seems to be pretty developed. I wonder if him and Boras will agree to sign for slot money if the sox promise a fast route to the majors ala chris sale. That's exactly what I said about a week ago.

I sure hope he has, but I want him to prove he can lay off low sliders as well.

Yeah, sure, offer him a 1 year/$7M deal. If he accepts that, then fine.

Danish - 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K Rondon - 2/5, 2B Micah - 2/6, 2 BB, RBI, SB (only his 2nd), CS (also his 2nd)

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) Just got a call from my rep. If you have season tickets, either directly or you bought them off Stub Hub or something for tonight's game... all those ST tickets are being upgraded to gold boxes for tonight's game and they are closing the UD. You can do the upgrade at the XFinity Zone, or via your rep online. They are closing the upper deck? So does that mean that people with regular upper deck tickets get moved to the 1st level?

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 08:21 AM) Addison Reed was drafted as a closer I'm aware.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 14, 2014 -> 11:32 PM) Would you guys be interested in Nick Burdi with our 2nd round pick? Local kid who's having a great year at Louisville, just doesn't start, he's their closer. No, I don't like drafting relievers in any round. I'd rather draft a fringe starter than a regular closer. Maybe that's too old school thinking, but I want my bullpen full of failed starters.

And it looks like Reetz is playing well his senior year, too. Dan Kirby ‏@DanMKirby Apr 7 Norris HS (NE) Jakson Reetz with 2 HR tonight. Has 5 HR, 8 SB, 1.956 OPS through 9 games. No match for Nebraska peers. #MLBDraft

I think it was Quinarvy who got me hooked on a prep catcher for our 2nd RD pick. I am forgetting his name at this moment, but I think he was either a lefty power guy, or a switch hitting power catcher who was good defensively. I'll look him up and edit this post. EDIT: Found him. Not a lefty, or a switch-hitter, so I'm not sure why I thought that, but his name is Jakson Reetz. http://m.mlb.com/video/v31230535/draft-rep...tcheroutfielder So Reetz or Conor Gillaspie's brother, Casey, would be nice picks to get in the 2nd RD.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Apr 14, 2014 -> 04:31 PM) Did anyone catch the PUIG vs PENCE PS4 The Show thing on IGN today? Couple things I noticed: - Hunter Pence is TERRIBLE at video games - The game looks identical to 2013 - The IGN host (Greg Miller) said he's from Chicago and dropped a couple "HE GAWN" on some Ks (sox fan??) Pence was terrible, and he couldn't figure out how to do some of the easier aspects. Conversely, Puig was actually quite good. He beat Pence in the HR derby twice, and then even beat Russel (SCEA Dev team) in HR derby as well. Game looks very similar to 2013, yes, but I'm still enjoying it like I always do. The biggest reason to upgrade is online franchise and year-to-year cross-platform saves. Can't wait to never start a franchise again. And no, Greggy Mills is a Cubs fan. As soon as Pence and Puig left he jumped in to a Cubs/Cards game because he wanted to see what Wrigley looked like (even though they always reveal a ton of Wrigley pics before each game's release because it matters I guess).
