Just had the most epic game ever. Game 4 of the season vs. Twins. I go into the bottom of the 9th down 2 runs. I get the first two runners on. I then get a sac fly at the CF wall that allows both runners to advance two bases because it was Pierre and Beckham on the bases, and the CF fell down making the catch into the wall. Cut the lead down to 1, and then scored on a sac fly to tie it. The game went into the 15th inning with the same score. Then Jason Kubel homers in the top of the 15th to give the Twins a 7-6 lead. I was content w/ losing at this point because it is 3 AM, and I have class in the morning. After I get 1 out in the bottom of the 15th, Andruw Jones steps up and jacks a HR to tie it. S.O.A.B. So then Ramon Castro comes up (he replaced Omar Vizquel who was pinch-running for AJ) and hits the WALK OF HOME RUN. I won the game on back-to-back jacks, with the replacement player hitting the HR. It was sweet. I am just glad the game is over and I can finally go to sleep!

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 09:30 PM) Actually, Beckham does get some national exposure already. He's been on Scott Van Pelt Show a couple times. He's been on Mike and Mike. Harold Reynolds mentions him whenever he can, and they predicted he would be the 2B of this decade. If the Sox get in the playoffs, and he plays well, then the sky is the limit as far as his fame. I agree. Beckham has been getting mucho love from the media. But he still remains largely unpopular in the fanbases methinks.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) Sadly, I'm waiting for the one with the pitch edits (or at least the one with all the Minor Leaguers with proper faces). Meh. I don't really care to wait any longer. Some Sox mistakes I noticed..... "SP John Ely got traded to the Dodgers in the Juan Pierre this past offseason. 3B Joe Crede is placed in Class-A, even though he is still a Free Agent. 1B Dayan Viciedo should actually be listed as a 3B, with 1B as his secondary position, not the other way around. RP Matt Thornton added a CUTTER this spring training. Considering he throws his fastball at 97-98, his cutter probably comes in around 91-92 SP Daniel Cabrera should be RELEASED. He is no longer on the team." I was told that Cabrera and Crede are on the minor league teams for reasons that they didn't have enough minor leaguers to create. You can simply release them from your franchise. I manually made the other chances, plus increased Morel's defense rating (they gave him like a 45. Wtf?), and make Mitchell and Thompson faster, as well as giving Beckham a little more power and increased his horrible base-running ability. Also increased the velocities and K-rates on Santos. Increased K-Rate on Hudson too.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) I've had 4 f***ing homeruns stolen from me in a matter of 2 weeks. It's driving me insane. Really? I have only had 1 robbed, and it was Maggs robbing Pierre.

Holy s***! Were your seats IN the dugout? You were like 2 feet away from Beckham when he was on deck....wow.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:42 AM) http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=2112489 Yeah, I checked the other right after I posted this. Should have obviously checked the other one first.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:44 AM) How would we rank Rios as a CF in the AL, MLB? 2nd in the AL, first in the MLB. That's just how good he is.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) God do I hate ESPN. Nomar said on Baseball Tonight that there is good diversity in their lineup. He said we have a great thing at the top of the order with Alexei Ramirez. He also said "Juan Pierre, who is great in that 2-hole." Then Bobby Valentine said that Beckham will remind people a ton of Nomar, and that he'll bring up the bottom of the order. Ack. I just made a thread about this. Whoops, my bad.

LOL. They just talked about the Sox for a couple minutes giving us love for the strong pitching, then Nomar and Bobby Valentine gave love to our hitters.....sort of... Nomar: "With that lineup, they got Alexei and Pierre at the top. You know, Pierre is an excellent 2-hitter." Bobby: "And Gordon Beckham is remind a lot of people of a Nomar Garciaparra. And Beckham will really bring up the bottom of that lineup" Alexei at the top? Pierre in the 2-hole? Beckham hitting in the bottom of the lineup? I appreciate them dedicating a few minutes for this team, but wow, the boxscore alone would prove these wrong. Also to note, Nomar gave Beckham the nickname "The silent killer"

If MLB '11 The Show adds this in it's game, I will trade for him immediately...... Sammy Gervacio with "The Stare"

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 09:10 PM) Thanks, Joe. I don't know if you play Madden, but I love playing in the rain or snow and how the players seem to slip and slide while running. Well that's because in the NFL, they play through most weather, and in baseball, they rarely do, so that is why it's already in Madden. Not a big deal to me, but it will be cool to have to hurry to get a game to be official before it gets cancelled.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) That sounds kinda neat. I don't need to see a full brawl or anything, I'm just fascinated by all the cut scenes and realistic things the game has in it. For everyone, does the game have rain? I've only played one game like I said last night, but it would seem like a neat feature to add in. No rain. I wish they did, but no. I think they have games that are played "after" rain, like you will see soggy infields and stuff, but not during the game. They experimented with adding fog for this year, but ran in to too many problems graphically. I think they are going to try and add weather for '11.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 05:46 PM) It's called Franchise Mode. And it rules. Especially with this pitching staff... I agree. I like to switch off from RTTS to Franchise when I get frustrated.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) For the Show, fighting automatically occurs if you have been beaned enough and it was intentional. They won't show the fighting though. They'll show the guy charge the mound and the camera goes away. For arguing calls, you're guy will automatically do it if he thinks it was really a bad call and then you get ejected. Happened in my 2nd game for RTTS. I mean you should be able to trigger your manager to come out and argue a play.

Christ Heyward. Wow. I bet when J-Hey smashed it, Tim Kurkjian splooged himself screaming, "THAT SOUNDED LIKE A f***ING 30-OUGHT0-6!!!!"

HRios!!

Andruw!!

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) The way he's pitching he could pitch a complete game with 115 pitches, but I agree. Maybe give him one batter then pull him. Let the fans give the ovation he deserves. That's what I was going to say too. Let him start the inning.

Blackout today looks like a fail......

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) Kotsay really wants to hit the ball into the ground. Just can't get it fair. Maybe Kotsay should understand that hitting it on the ground is not the best thing, especially when that's EXACTLY what the pitcher wants you to do.

What will Q have more of come seasons end..... HR or HBP?

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) is it just me or did CQ run like last year's JD on that wild pitch? He certainly did not get a walking start on a ball that squirted 10 feet away.
