QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 31, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) He's not been spectacular. I don't care what his ERA has been in his past 18 starts or whatever. I watch him and I don't get the impression that he's dominating teams and/or shutting them down. He's just been average, meh, okay... This is true. Peavy's numbers look good. But when I watch him pitch, I never get the feeling that he's dominating anyone.

Detroit's trying to give this game away and we're just not taking it

It's nut up or shut up for Peavy. He's yet to win a HUGE game for us, but I think this will be the first.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 05:30 PM) What difficulty level? And its kind of early to be stating this. Unless the cpu cheats there really is no way to prevent 70-7 scores, even at all madden level (and that is with 5 minute clock no acceleration or 7 minute with). All-pro

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 09:57 PM) Peavy vs Fister Liriano vs Scherzer Sale vs Verlander Oh boy this should be fun. How in the hell are there still tickets available? Tigers really slumping coming in. Fister coming off an injury. This should be very interesting. Tomorrow's game is huge for setting the tone. It also makes the next two so much easier.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) Thanks Mendoza, Chen, and Guthrie. See ya around. Royals have played their part in screwing the AL Central contenders.

Tigers lose! For once, Miggy didn't get a big hit late.

This is bad...really bad. Francouer, you suck.

Lorenzo Cain! Shades of Jarrod Dyson from last night.

Come on Herrera, stop sucking. You never sucked like this against the Sox.

Laird, Jackson, Dirks due up. Not going to be easy.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) No Holland tonight. Will be either Crow or Herrera for the save opportunity. I'm hoping it's Herrera. Cabrera due up fourth.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 10:54 AM) Really pleased with Madden. Game surpassed expectations. Game seems a lot more realistic this year. I played 10 min quarters with accelerated play clock down to 12 seconds and won the game 28-16. Realistic scores FTW.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) OCZ sucks btw. When I built my computer I bought an OCZ SSD drive that had a $10 mail in rebate. I paid the dollar to get it within 3-5 business days as opposed to 6-8 weeks. Well, 4 weeks go by and I still didn't have it. After multiple email exchanges, OCZ kept telling me they had sent it out to AMEX (the form of the rebate was an AMEX card) so i need to contact them. I contact AMEX and they have no record of receiving the request from OCZ. Some more digging (thankfully AMEX customer service was competent) it turns out OCZ authorized an AMEX card for $9 CANADIAN. It took another 2 weeks for them to sort it out, reissue the card and send it to me. In the middle of it I had told someone from OCZ that at minimum I should get a "refund" of that dollar I spent for an expedited rebate, but of course they didn't give it to me. So... Yeah. f*** OCZ. Cool story bro. I did get a rebate from them before, took a while.

Zach Britton is awful. We need to score some runs today.

Lopez with a ground-rule double. Welcome to the club.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) I believe the Royals have Cy-Guthrie going tonight too, so there is hope. Guthrie got his ass kicked last time out against Boston.

Lopez will be a better option than Olmedo. Although Olmedos defense is pretty damn good. Lopez is the opposite.

This is a big game. If Kansas City can miraculously sweep the Tigers, we will be up 4 going into Detroit with a win today. It takes a lot of pressure off the club IMO.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 10:41 AM) The final product is much better than the demo. I think the fact you have all the teams makes it much better.

Tigers lose! Sox a season high 3 games up.

Jarrod Dyson's range is incredible.

Dirks is on to lead off the ninth. Come on Holland.

So what happened to Youk?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) I think we win tonight. Only because nobody thinks we can. I need to make more predictions.
