QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 02:37 PM) PS Move is sadly an amazing controller. Just very, very few good games utilize it well. Killzone 3 and Resident Evil 5 we're OK, just not good enough. Dead Space: Extraction was the best Yeah, Move is IMO, way better than the Wii, it just never got the support from game developers. SCEA should have made more games too. Sports Champions 1 is really solid, and I heard the 2nd one that just came out is really good too, but outside of those, I have yet to find an interesting game.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Nov 22, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) Hard to call it luck when it was IIRC the 4th straight slider of the sequence. Luck that he was able to hit that, and hit it hard enough to flip it over the wall. Not luck that he guessed right.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 22, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) This needed it's own thread? That's what I was thinking. I posted it in the catch-all thread because it's almost completely unimportant news.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 22, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) So...Best Buy has some great Black Friday deals going all weekend for video games. Highlighted by Assassins Creed III for $35 Best Buy 3-Day Sale Holy s***, this PS Move bundle for $40. Comes with LBP 2 and a "nunchuck" controller. That's a real good deal, just for the LBP2 game alone.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Nov 22, 2012 -> 09:09 AM) Kept meaning to do this, but only got around to it now. Hope it's not too late. Yeah, I wrote my paper a little over a week ago. It's alright though, I had about 84 responses from here and other forums, so sufficient enough sample size. Thanks anyway!

Ha! Ken Rosenthal just got played on Twitter. He just tweeted.... Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal One of the game's nice guys. RT @CesarIzturis: Can you tell the fans that i have signed with Toronto. Rosenthal doesn't realize that is actually a FAKE twitter account. Apparently Ken didn't take the team to read Cesar's previous tweets..... César Izturis ‏@CesarIzturis will someone please suck my dick César Izturis ‏@CesarIzturis smother my balls in whip cream to ease the pain they feel on fire call that stupid bear tell him i try to prevent fire balls didnt work f*** César Izturis ‏@CesarIzturis i have aids oficial César Izturis ‏@CesarIzturis mi amigos i have dentist appoinment today to cure aids they have sppecial cream to apply my nuts i will update later unnerstan César Izturis ‏@CesarIzturis damn that prostitue was great only 40 per hour maybe she got aids LOL. Do a little more digging next to you tweet to an UNVERIFIED account. Ha.

Sale for Stanton straight up would be an interesting conversation.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) Rienzo, Viciedo, Thompson, Mitchell, Sanchez, and Castro for Escobar and Stanton. Get it done Hahn, even if it involves a roofie colada I don't think there is any way the Marlins accept that. The only "somewhat" proven player there is Viciedo, and the only promising prospect is Thompson. The rest are borderline guys.

What was the LOWEST pitch hit for a HR last season you ask? Delmon Young's lucky 3-run HR off Sale..... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/t...-low-home-runs/ The ball was about 11 1/2 inches off the ground. EDIT: Delmon also had the 2nd farthest inside pitch hit for a HR. The #1 on that list? Miggy.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 04:53 PM) Are these Spring exhibition games usually televised at all? Not all of them, but I would say 70% of them seem to be on either local Chicago TV stations, WGN, ESPN, or whitesox.com They actually do quite a bit of the games on whitesox.com. I think they did like 13 webcasts last spring, and that number seems to grow each year.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 10, 2012 -> 05:17 PM) Somebody on twitter is trying hard to spread the word that catcher Bryan Anderson is coming to the Sox from St. Louis. He was outrighted to AAA Memphis last week. Possible, I guess. That somebody made a good call.

"The White Sox signed catcher Bryan Anderson and left-hander David Purcey to minor league deals, Eddy reports (on Twitter)."

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) I truly love DWise, but his time has passed. Very bad move for the Sox as they start to move forward for the season. Maybe Robin will be able to read his hot streaks and sit his ass the minute he looks like he's entering one of those tailspins. When he's hot he's damn good. When he's not, ugh. I don't think a $700K deal for a 1 WAR player could ever be considered "very bad". It's not like the Sox gave him $3M.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 02:51 AM) Soooo how about that Wii U that came out? Anybody buy one? Looks like a huge flop by Nintendo, in my opinion. They got lucky by striking gold on Wii. They got greedy with Wii U.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 21, 2012 -> 12:44 AM) I wouldn't mind Figgins as a cheap bench player. Better than Rey Olmedo or ODawg. That's for sure. Agreed. But Hahn sure as s*** better not get him w/ the intentions of battling with Morel for the 3B job. I can't handle that.

Chone Figgins DFA'd by Seattle. Can now be signed for minimum. Kenny always gets his guy!

Thank you David Akers for giving me a win, Crabtree for beating a competitor, and Marshall for beating another competitor. Gould came up 3 pts short of making this an awesome weekend of football for me.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) In their partial survey after this weekend. His stats as a defensive player isnt Heisman worthy regardless of which team he plays on. If he won the Heisman it would be one of the worst winners of all time. 6 picks and less than 100 tackles going into the final weekend? Thats like a very, very good CB. But he doesnt return punts, doesnt play CB and doesnt run back TD's. Just like Honey Badger it would be a travesty. Charles Woodson was the winner because he was the best player on the field at all times scoring for the offense, defense and special teams. But Teo isnt even as productive as Suh was when he finished second. If he wins it would be because everyone else in the running is an underclassmen and his personal story. His production is just not Heisman worthy. Could you even say he's the best defensive player in the country? I sure wouldnt. How about comparing him to the best backer (and not even the best defensive player) on the other undefeated team in the country? You are confusing me saying he has a chance based on his that partial survey and his great story with me saying he should win the Heisman. I have no idea who should win or not, I don't follow enough of the other teams to really say.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 04:26 PM) People who like to point out holes in WAR use bWAR. Well yeah. I can't even count how many times I've seen people who oppose WAR (or pretty much all advanced statistics) say "ZOMG BEN ZOBRIST SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MVP THEN. HE HAD THE HIGHEST WAR IN 2011!!!" And then when I remind them for the umpteenth time that no one uses bWAR, and fWAR is where it's at, they use that as a reason why WAR is stupid, because 2 different publications calculate it differently. It's a headache.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 04:01 PM) He has no chance and shouldnt. His stats arent eye-popping enough for a defensive heisman. Oh he has a chance, as the link someone just posted shows.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 04:24 PM) Depends whose WAR you are looking at. The Baseball Reference has his WAR 3rd behind Lofton and Griffey, and Frank's offensive season if you pro rate it out, is better than Cabrera's 2012 and it's really not close. Nobody uses bWAR.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 12:13 PM) Gonzales mentions Michael Young at 3B if the Sox can get some salary relief. Basically there is no chance at Headley. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-11...ter-gm-meetings Follows suit with my MLB The show franchise. And Young had a monster 2013 for the Sox, so clearly that would happen in real life.
