QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 06:17 PM) I'm not great with computers, i'd need a bit of help with this. go into "My Computer" click on your CD drive, cut the songs you want off the CD paste them somewhere on your computer then when your in itunes add the songs from the location you pasted it to.

I've given up on using sliders for this game. Each set i try continues to piss me off more and more. Just gona use default now.

Make sure to waste pitches to setup the CPU batters or you will PAY! -Fielder injuries lessened.

If there was one thing that would cheer me up after yesterday's debacle, this is it. hawk, "get back there...." god i love it.

UNC lost to santa clara, i believe illinois can lose to osu and still be no. 1

Skipping my 2 o'clock class to watch it. I'm so damn excited. White sox on tv........yes

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) that one was classic because an intern got Hawk and DJ some cotton candy and there was a shot of Hawk eating it with this huge grin on his face... it was classic beat me to it. that's the most classic hawk moment for me.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 08:02 PM) last night i dreamt we lost to THEE ohio state in champaign. I woke up freaking out. scary huh? :headshake :puke just got back from the game.

Portillo's

have fun w/ him baltimore.

pared's gonna have new sliders sometime this weekend

of course as soon as i say i found a setting i like, i play a game and the same old b****-ass problems are pissing me off. Hitting is waaay too hard on default. Way too many popups

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) The NBA title hasn't meant s*** to me since Jordan left and the lockout. GO ILLINI!!!! agreed. the NBA just doesn't interest me.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 01:59 AM) Steve, I know you're not playing with sliders, but turn foul balls up a lot. You have some real, real awesome AB's where you really need to work to get a strikeout. I remember, this one AB where Travis Hafner must have fouled off five in a row, brought the count full, and I got him on a backdoor curveball. It was an awesome AB... I know what you mean, when i was playing w/ the sliders and I was playing against my friend......he had a 12 pitch at-bat, that's unheard of in videogames.

Think i've finally found the right combination for my dynasty. All star difficulty, no sliders. And i'm playing out a game, then managing the next. So far i'm 3-3 (played 2-1) (managed 1-2)

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) WTF, I had no idea of this hitters eye your talking about. Jesus, I'm a moron. I'd of never of known this if I hadn't actually read this. cocain's a hell of a drug
