QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Feb 8, 2010 -> 10:43 AM) Not sure how many people play NHL 10 for PS3 on here but if you do and you you play online team play what team are you on and how do you like it? For anyone who doesnt know what it is you basically create one character and use them at a certain position and you can play pick up games or join teams and leagues. The more you play unlocks higher attribute points and allows you to be rated higher. They start a new season each month and even have playoffs at the end of the year played live somewhere in Canada. Anyways, if you play it or want to check it out here is my team Glitch3s G3t Stitch3s I should have anywhere between 15-20 guys depending on when you look at this and as of now we are 17-7 in the February season so if anyone is looking for a team let me know. Not a big fan of NHL Video games, but thats something I've always wanted in every sports game. There was an online game (Ultimate Baseball Online?) that let you do it a few years ago, but I think it shut down.

Throwbacks seem to be very popular this year, especially with the Jazz and Cavs.

QUOTE (Jbabs34 @ Feb 8, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) Video of HR by Austin Wilson...its ridiculous And that was last year with a wood bat. He's definitely got power. Also, I liked his swing from what I could see.

Hadn't seen that. That's an eerily similar swing. Now Gordon, go put up crazy A-Rod numbers

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 8, 2010 -> 05:35 PM) But BJ was wearing #10 at the time it was retired, and when he had his second tour of duty with the Bulls, he wore 11. I think it makes no sense to retire numbers if you are willing to unretire them for 43 year old back ups, especially guys who have never worn that number before. I understand Vizquel is a HOFer himself, but that makes no difference IMO. It may be one thing if Vizquel wore 11 as a tribute to Aparicio his entire career, or at least SOME of it, but he was a Concepcion guy and the only reason he isn't 13 is Ozzie won't give it to him. What's next? Ramon Castro gets some pointers from Carlton Fisk and wants to wear 72 with Pudge's blessing? The best players in the game today, the finest human beings, the greatest humanitarians, could ask Bud Selig if they could "un-retire" 42 for a season, to pay tribute to Jackie Robinson. The answer would be no. A retired number is a retired number. The only person who should wear 11 in a White Sox uniform is Luis Aparicio. I'm gonna agree with you DA. I think retired numbers stay like that forever (2 Exceptions can be made: The player them self returns (Harold) or someone's son coming to the big league squad (Like they were gonna do with Patrick Ewing Jr.)) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 8, 2010 -> 05:58 PM) It was Vizquel's idea, from the espn.com story when he signed: One thing that will likely change is his number. Familiar No. 13 belongs to Guillen. "That's going to be a hard thing. I don't think Ozzie is going to give up his number," Vizquel said. He said he might ask countryman Luis Aparicio if can wear his retired No. 11 as a tribute. Or maybe the No. 17 that was worn by another Venezuelan shortstop who played for the White Sox, Chico Carrasquel. Guillen said nothing has been decided but he would be reluctant to part with his number, one he wore for so many years with the White Sox. He suggested that Vizquel try No. 23 -- just one digit removed -- because it's such a big number in Chicago, the one most notably worn by Michael Jordan. He already had Chico's number, did he seriously need to go and ask for 11. I really like Omar, but I don't like this.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 09:56 PM) No Balta, that is not my counterpoint. My counterpoint is that when the guy sees the court, he is incredibly selfish and never tries to play within a system, whatever system he has been in. Tyrus is the king of ill advised shots at crucial moments. He has never been a stop and pop player, yet thats what he always tries to be. His shot has never been consistent enough for him to get the ball at the top of the key and try and drain a 18-20 footer without even considering passing the ball to another player, which is what gets him benched nearly all the time. His defense is top notch, I love watching him swat away shots down low, but when it comes to him playing within an offense, he just never has gotten it. He has never earned more playing time, he has squandered it. There have been numerous times where I've yelled at the TV watching Tyrus try to drain a 20 footer when he could easily go right up to the basket.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) Does that statement hold double meaning? He's Beckham, so he's gonna come in fifth?

That was related. Priceless.

How much does NO like Peyton now? Is he like, Mega-God?

That's the game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 07:56 PM) After the moves they made last offseason, I think he'd fit in Detroit too. But that team's a mess anyway. I was thinking Detroit, but part of me would like to think Joe Dumars wouldn't put up with this.

Well, I can't think of anything off the top of my head, so I'll say the first half of the perfect game. It's a miracle I wasn't pulled over getting home.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 01:08 PM) i guess i didn't campaign hard enough You're currently in fifth. That's to be expected with that name.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) He is an unmotivated Zach Randolph. He can't play a team game, and he thinks he should be the center of attention. He can't handle playing a role on a good team. The Clippers would be a great place for him. The Clippers would be horrible. He'd play behind Griffin and Kaman, and they could actually become really good with a healthy, lived up to hype Griffin. I can't really see anyone other than the Knicks or Warriors.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 11:45 AM) Honestly, how many here haven't wanted to unleash a profanity-laden rant at VDN several times in the past 1.5 years? We're fans, we don't get paid by the organization. I think the same is true about Ozzie. If someone like Tyrus cussed out Ozzie, he'd be in a grave under the court floor right now. We'd all agree that Tyrus has the talent to be a top power forward in the league. Some say give him to an experienced coach, but would Phil or Sloan put up with him? God no. The only teams I can really see him succeeding with are teams like Golden State or the Knicks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) Strasbourg money isn't that scary; his contract wound up being fairly reasonable for that level of draft pick. The $50 million he was talking about was scary. And someone said it before, Harper has done a lot to reach the majors early. Don't know if he'd pass up on the bigs over money, when he'd still be getting paid.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 08:26 AM) Got the PSOM in the mail on Friday, with a full writeup on Heavy Rain. This is going to be one of the best games of all time. Heavy Rain Preview I know we've spoken about it before, but everytime I hear something new about this game it gets me more amped. I'm excited about Heavy Rain, but I'm still a bit skeptical. But you're right, if executed well, it'll be a masterpiece. Also, my friend recently talked me into playing a game that we used to play, and he now was able to buy. He keeps telling me to promote it, so if anyone likes free text-based-RTS games, check it out.

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Feb 7, 2010 -> 06:33 AM) Not to hijack the thread, but isn't it curious that with all those years of winning, the Red Sox have a better farm system than ours. I guess we can't use the excuse that we don't get enough top draft picks. Duane Shaffer really sucked. Just look at the past 3 #1's compared to Shaffers. Shaffers: Ruffcorn, Pearson, Christman, Johnson, Liefer, Seay, Dellaero, Wells, Stumm, Ginter, Borchard, Ring, Anderson, Fields, Broadway, McCulloch. Brian Anderson is the most productive of all those picks. Then Fields. Post Shaffer: Poreda, Beckham, Mitchell There's 3 guys that all project to be worlds better than the monstrosity of our 1991-2006 drafts.

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/yb/140979634 Nevermind. I stopped seeing Tyrus' side of the argument. I was for Noah's suspension because that is inexcusable. If this we're another profession where someone wasn't being given the best opportunities by their boss, and they cussed them out, they'd be fired. Edit: Sam Smith was present, so its more reliable.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Feb 6, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Can someone enlighten me to why Ranger is running away with this one? I'm not sure I recall anything he's written. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...5263&st=855 That page onward is why I voted for him. Seriously, it was both an insightful read and hilarious.

My friend said if Harper fell to us, you only take him if he doesn't catch. Because we have AJ and Flowers

QUOTE (T R U @ Feb 6, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) Is it just me, or does anyone think this isnt going to be very hard for some gamers out there...

Good win. Richard getting 7 rebounds was a nice suprise.
