Microsoft got knocked the f*** out. Only thing I didn't like is PS+ is required for online play, but even then PS+ is a great service. I was going to continue using it anyway. The discounts, free games, etc. make it worth it.

If the PS4 has a good SKU launch for a reasonable price, I'm all over it.

The sports comedy gods rejoice at the news of Tebow as a Pat.

I like.

Holy s***.

Seriously though, the more active SoxTalk posters likely know more about the minor league system than Rogers.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2013 -> 03:19 AM) I'm the best thing to ever happened to this thread. Without me, this thread is a bunch of middle-aged homers crying about referees every single day of the year. Not even close. Putting your hands on the most physically gifted player the game has ever seen wouldn't mean a thing. He'd even be better against inferior, one dimensional athletes, and no zone defense. C'mon, q. You weren't even a fetus when most of these guys were playing. Other than Jordan, LeBron trumps every player here without question. Mark Price? C'mon, dude. People like to make fun of Nash and his d. Who's Price checking today? lol. I will respond to Zoom and Booqua (amazing that he actually came with something besides piggybacking zoom) in detail later when I'm sober. I just posted NBA.com's All 90's team. And I dunno if LeBron trumps Hakeem. And there would be years where Pippen, Hill, Barkley or Malone could be better at forward. Thing is we don't know. But a lot of those guys would be the undisputed #2 in today's NBA, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that LeBron wouldn't easily be the second best player. For fun, let's replace Larry Johnson with LeBron on those Hornets teams. Taken at the same time. Is LeBron winning any titles?

People really need to learn that Rogers may be the dumbest person associated with baseball. I remember him saying the Sox were fools for not throwing something stupid like $20M/yr at Daisuke.

The 90's Stars: PG: Payton, Stockton, Hardaway, Johnson, Price SG: Jordan, Drexler, Dumars, Richmond, Miller SF: Pippin, Hill, Wilkins, Mullin, Schrempf PF: Malone, Barkley, Rodman, Kemp, Grant C: Olajuwon, Ewing, Mourning, Shaq, Robinson To say that LeBron would be a third team All-NBA with Pippin, Hill, Malone, and Barkley is not THAT outrageous.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 03:20 PM) Bears are working out Jamarcus Russell. Yup They need OL help.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 8, 2013 -> 03:03 AM) It's a bit ironic the last couple of seasons that Herm Schneider has become renowned for keeping players healthy. If you look at that 1998-2002 group, almost all of them were wiped out. Jason Stumm, Lorenzo Barcelo, Jon Rauch (was never the same after the labrum injury), Jim Parque, Mike Sirotka, Rob Purvis, Corwin Malone, Rocky Biddle (he went on to become a decent reliever with the Expos), Kris Honel, Danny Wright, James Baldwin and Matt Ginter. The only ones who became "successful" were the least highly touted of the group....Buehrle, Josh Fogg and Chad Bradford. Then there was Kip Wells, Garland and Matt Guerrier. (Of course, Garland wasn't our draft pick, he was the Cubs'). Then, of some of our recent pitchers, Hudson and Brandon McCarthy have had horrible luck with injuries, Clayton Richard some problems as well...Sergio Santos, it has almost been like a curse when we try to draft and develop our own pitchers. How is that ironic?

Also woo, runs!

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 08:24 PM) Beck really looking good at the plate. I think the time off for him was a good thing. The Slayer Hath Returned.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 03:57 PM) I think they will probably come out with a $300 Last of Us bundle. They have an Uncharted 3 bundle for that price. You can probably get the Uncharted trilogy for $60 or $70 right now and Journey is worth playing for $10. For anyone that doesn't have a Blu Ray player, those games at that price would be worth it IMO. True. Lately it seems that Sony just keeps churning out great exclusive after great exclusive. Really need to buy thatgamecompany though. Should have done it after flOwer

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) Naughty Dog is soo good. Reason enough to own a playstation imo. I feel the Last of Us will sell plentg of consoles, despite the new generation.

I'm stupidly excited for Last of Us. Bought every ND game at launch since Jak and Daxter. This will be the same.

I'd like to lower my expectations.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 01:31 AM) Well on his way to "I think Gordon's full potential is .300, 25 HR, 110 RBI (per year) " from that risen from the dead thread in which you posted . What thread??? Edit: Just saw it's back. Damn, that's a throwback.

The Slayer hath cometh.
