MLB.tv is broken...that's nice.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) There's almost no point in signing Bonifacio if you're not gonna start him against lefties Seriously, how is he not playing 2B?

Rose looks very hesitant to drive.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) ahh you mean the legal version of loan sharking. The crazy thing is that the government does it. John Oliver had a segment on this the other week. They'll setup payment plans for those who can't pay their traffic violations. Then they have to pay a ton of interest for that payment plan. Thus paying a lot more than the amount of money they initially owed.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) I read about the child support thing. I also read that they can be jailed until the payments are caught up. How is anyone supposed to catch up on payments while in jail? You don't want to be poor in this country. Because when you're poor, you have to resort to those payday loans or some other sketchy crap where they charge you crazy interest. It's just a cycle of debt you can't get out of.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:15 PM) i cant figure out why the guy ran. He was clearly running for his life before the cop started firing, its like he was told something bad was about to happen and panicked He had outstanding warrants for child support.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 11:07 AM) geez, that officer wasted no time pulling the trigger. the guy running off looked like he was about to run a 13 second 40 time. he could've easily ran after and tackled him or something. The officer must have felt "threatened" by a 50 year old man who just got taser'd and runs a 13 second 40.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 05:57 PM) So I think the marketplace is a little broken in DD. Once you get a really good player, sell that player, make a s*** ton of money, use that money to buy a bunch of packs, gets another good player in those packs, sell that guy, repeat. I sold my extra Puig card for 19,000. Used that to buy 7 packs. In those 7, I picked up a Jose Bautista and a Troy Tulowitzki. Decided to keep both. Then opened up a SECOND Bautista card. Sold it for like 14,000. Then decided to sell my Cole Hamels card that I never get to pitch with anyway for like 11,000. Then used all those extra players to feed to my created player. I now have Puig, Tulo, and Jose Bautista in my lineup, my created player is a 99, and I have like 35,000 stubs in the bank still. I have a feeling I could have a super team in the next few days and will probably get bored with this mode. I think they need to SEVERELY nerf the amount these cards sell for. I could get 57,000 for just my Tulo card alone. That would buy me 57 more packs. That's over 300 players! Chances are in those 300, I will get at least 3 more diamond players, and the cycle will never end. My best pack pull has been Elvis Andrus and I've opened around 10 packs. It looks like you have better luck than most. And Puig only costs 19k now?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 09:54 AM) Derrick drops 40 in 20 minutes. 20/20 from the FT line. Can Niko please teach Derrick how to flop? He will never get his FTs unless he exaggerates contact.

You do have to wonder how a traffic stop for a broken tail-light escalated to a guy getting shot in the back 8 times. In the case of charging the cop with murder though, that's almost irrelevant. You don't shoot a guy 8 times while he's running away AND tamper with evidence. Not to mention he tried to tamper with evidence while there was another officer at the site. We need to thank whoever shot the video. Because if it didn't exist, the cop would have gotten out of this one.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) So how does each game work for Diamond Dynasty. There was Extra Innings, Offline, or you can play someone. What are the rewards for each one Depends on the difficulty you pick. IMO DD has a long ways to go to catch up with the Ultimate Team modes. There's just not enough modes to play, especially since online play is a total toss-up for The Show. Madden Ultimate Team has a ton of single player challenges. FIFA Ultimate Team lets you play through different seasons in different leagues. There's also tournaments. You don't get any of that with Diamond Dynasty. Playing the CPU just leads to one reward at the end of the game, there's almost no end goal. I'd like to get a team full of legends, but if there's no incentive to get a team full of legends, what's the point?

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 12:57 PM) Palace has been really playing well since Pardew took over. Still a surprise, but not as bad as if they played in December. Man City took 22 shots and had the ball for 76% of the time. Yet they still lost. lol And yeah I saw that CP was 4th or 5th in the BPL since Pardew took over. Arsenal might actually not finish 4th this year. Woah!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) Josh Vitter, Felix Pie, Jake Fox, etc. are among my favorite examples. Every Cubs prospect is supposed to be the savior and it...doesn't work. To be fair, I'm not sure if there's ever been a Cubs prospect that's looked as good as Bryant.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 11:04 PM) Gray no no through 6 Now through 7.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 09:21 PM) Also is Micah Johnson not in the game? Do they update rosters with new players? It'll be about 2 weeks before he gets put into the game. You can download him from the player's vault if you want.

At the end of the day, it's just one game. There's a new game on Wednesday.

City just lost to freakin' Crystal Palace. They've now sunk to 4th and are at risk of losing a guaranteed spot in the Champions League round of 32.

I'm not sure how you take the same lead after you almost got picked off on the last pick-off throw.

Atta boy Micah.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) i dont think Jeff liked the way moustakas celebrated that. And I don't blame him If you didn't like what he did, hit him the next time he's up. Don't hit the next batter.

I hope Shark just has no control today. There's no reason to start a bean-ball war with the Royals.

Flowers :|

Nice quick inning. And my god Melky looks shaky out there.

Nice job by Micah.
