How much does it suck that Smoak isn’t on the roster?
Also, is it possible to hit well with Julio Borbon?

I already made a catcher for us.
Didn’t change anything else, and I can’t hit with Borbon to save my life.
I had been borrowing my brother-in-law’s copy, but I bought the game yesterday to have my own. Chris Davis has 6 homers in the first four games.

It's a frustrating game to play with
Especially in regards to the sliders, they’re busted out of the box, and when you play with them, you lose achievements, but I’ve had some fun overall with it.
Sliders?
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty."- General George S. Patton
Difficulty sliders
Pretty much at every difficulty level, they’re pretty fucked without some severe tinkering.
I'm still working my way through spring training, but I'm not very good at hitting.
I’m basically old-school Ranger’ing it out there. I only score through home runs.
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty."- General George S. Patton
Work the count.
Basically, unless it’s a change up meatball down the middle I don’t swing first pitch. Still pretty awful at curveball recognition though (kind of like in real life).
You get the pitchers frustrated and you will see something you can drill.
Yep, I have a theory that the thing actually penalizes you sometimes when you swing at the first pitch
Even if it’s right down the middle.
I’ve actually gotten pretty good at working the count and taking my walks, although I still can’t foul bad pitches off when I need to with 2 strikes.
"I think it's funny because everybody wants Ozzie Smith range," Young said. "I want people to show me a guy that has turbo range like that."
I could walk like a true ML player
back in the MVP2005 days. I could get 100+ BBs in a season with the really good plate discipline guys.

The Animated Ballpark in Arlington
Not me.
I hack like Chris Davis in that game. I just don’t have the recognition skills or patience.
I usually take the first pitch unless it’s a meatball, but after strike 1 I’m swinging and hoping it works out for the best.
There is no question.
I can’t hit to save my life on the damned game.
Pitching? Easy as hell. I can only play me be a pro (whatever its called) as a pitcher….I’m too retarded to hit. I could in 09, but not now.
I can't hit on this game, either.
I played 10 games tonight after the Ranger game ended and probably scored 20 runs total.
If it’s not a fastball that I guess the pitch and location correctly, I’m probably not going to hit it.
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty."- General George S. Patton
Just a learning curve
Always happens with a new MLB game. Once you see how pitches break in each game, things get better.
I’m always a little too conservative, sometimes I don’t swing at all until I have two strikes, even if a meatball comes.
I think focusing on fouling pitches off is the best hope to start with, and take some walks.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Hitting with the Borbon I made on my old copy of MLB '08 can be frustrating
He either goes 4-4 with 4 line drives or 0-4 with a bunch of weak fly balls. My theory is this is because he doesn’t have any power.
I kinda have the same problem with Elvis, too.

I imagine I would have hated the Showtime Lakers, and I did hate the Shaq lakers, but I don’t mind these Lakers. Bryant is an all-time great, and Gasol wasn’t appreciated enough until he got to LA, but he’s always been a favorite of mine.
I will say that it was easier to like them with Ariza, though.
I hated the Showtime Lakers
We could never beat them. Never, never, never.
It was like a nightmare. Mark Aguirre or Rolando Blackman would knock down a shot, you’d start feeling good, then Magic would bring it up and hit Worthy breaking to the bucket for a slam.
Then there’d be a missed jumper, Kareem would send an outlet to Magic, he’d hit Worthy for a slam or Scott for a three, and it seemed like they were just unbeatable.
Ugh.

i havent really looked into this before
but i think this last draft might end up being the best point guard draft ever, just a bunch of quality guys drafted (not sure if there were any other good pg’s in the deron williams/chris paul draft, or if you’d consider jerry west and oscar robertson pg’s)
by studcrackers on May 9, 2010 12:59 AM CDT up reply actions
I haven't looked into it either
But it seems hard to imagine one with as much quantity where practically all of them had an immediate impact.
Of course, we still haven’t seen Rubio, and he might end up being one of the best.
The amazing thing is
not everyone has been fully evaluated.
Of course Rubio isn’t here yet, but you also give Jrue Holiday, Maynor (might not get an opportunity until he gets out of OKC) and Teague (sigh) at least another year of evaluating. And there’s still some SF projects to spot up (Clark and Daye especially)
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
That may be
But it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have hated them.

One of the Celtics teams was the best team ever. I'm too tired to remember which one exactly.
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty."- General George S. Patton
are we referring to
the 80’s celtics? b/c it’s thought that the 85-86 celtics have a case for best team ever. easily greatest frontcourt ever w/bird/mchale/parrish and walton the 6th man of the year
them the 82-83 sixers and 87-88 (or 86-87) lakers are normally recognized as the best teams of that decade
That's the one I was thinking about.
Although I would love to see how a guy like Russell would fare in today’s game.

You can be knowledgeable
and still suck at your job. Being a manager also doesn’t help since you’re talking about a job that is 99% dependent on everyone else doing their job. Acta could be the greatest manager in baseball and not win while the opposite also true.

Modern Warfare is my favorite episode of any sitcom so far this year.
It was incredibly well done.
This week's episode....
was pretty great, especially The Killer/John Woo parody.
It’s pretty hit and miss, though, the unironic sitcom tropes can get tiresome at times, but when it hits, it really hits.
I am still debating my friends
about Allison Brie’s hotness. She’s so hit and miss, just like the show.

what do you guys think between Modern Family and Community? I’m really on the fence on these two…
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Modern family
is a really easy 30 minutes of TV. It just flows by. Community can be hilarious or grating to the max.

I have to know what Conan was talking about in this .gif.
"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty."- General George S. Patton
That was easy.
Conan asks Harrison if he has any Indy hats or memorabilia because they might be worth a fortune. Harrison said he didn’t need that stuff, “I’m RICH!”
What I love the most is they brought up their associate producer to quiz Harrison on Indy trivia. After a weird man crush moment, the associate producer asks Harrison what color was the tip of his whip in Raiders of the Los Ark. Harrison gives him a cold look and says “Who gives a shit (or fuck).” Then “ASS” was stamped on top of the producer.

I miss Rangers or Robbers
Highlights:
If the trade goes down Tex for Salty and Harrison, I’d give it an F. If it goes Tex for Salty, Harrison and Elvis or Lillibridge, it’s a D-. And if the Rangers throw in even Mahay (much less Benoit or Wilson) to get three of those guys, it’s a surefire job-losing F- for Daniels.
* * *
I really hope this is the deal that Little Jon Daniels and Tom Hicks are holding out for. Word has it that 26-yo Lefty SP Joe Saunders and 24-yo lefty 1b Casey Kotchman are already on the table. Compared to the Atlanta deal, just those two (who are major-league tested) represent a better deal that what the Braves are offering. Plus, there’s been rumors that the Angels may add a third prospect (names vary) to the deal.
Saunders is in his third partial season at the major-league level, and he’s a proven winner in the AL West whose improved every year (11-3 lifetime in the bigs, with a 4-0 record and 3.16 era in 7 starts this season). That would immediately put him ahead of everyone but Millwood on the Rangers starting rotation (and yes, I’m saying he’d be ahead of Padilla – right now).
Kotchman is hitting well and judging by his road numbers and the fact that lefties love the Ballpark, his numbers would get a quick boost as a Ranger (currently hitting .300 with an .858 ops in 89 games).
Tex straight up for those two would be a B++ trade in my book, and if JD gets any other prospect worth anything at all added in, make it an A+!

At the time the trade was made
the team knew it would set them back in the short term. Elvis and Feliz by themselves have a chance to be worth more than Teixeira was. Whatever the team gets from the other three guys in the trade is pure gravy.
Teixiera being here in 2008 (which would have been his last year here) would not have made the team a winner. There just no way to look at this trade and not see the Rangers as bigtime winners. Unless, of course, it’s through your compulsive need to paint everything Daniels in the worst light possible.

I want to see an extended conversation
between Justin Smoak and Derek Holland. It would be a pretty stupid conversation.

Why, because they are from the South?

No
Derek is from Ohio.

“What?”

Fernando Rodney...
walked the bases loaded. Sweeney battled to get it to 3-2 and then grounded out.

Leaving the bases loaded seems to be the Mariner specialty this year

Torture.

A 20 inning "classic" would be great here, but
I’m guessing the Halos end it here. :(

From Gerry Fraley in tonight's DMN chat, which I just scrolled through quickly:
Royals have a good GM in Dayton Moore, but he took on a huge project. Ownership is to blame for cutting corners on player development. Moore making progress, but the talent is at the Double-A level.
Though admittedly
the team’s been building a rather good farm system.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
so since i work during the games
someone explain how smoak got a stolen base tonight?
also how many times has vlad been thrown out on the basepaths this year? that’s really the only complaint i have about him
yes he's into S and M.
Standing and modeling, he must know GoET is watching.
Wash for this scene your role is to act like a manager who know's what the F he is doing. I know it's a creative stretch 'cus.....he do what he do.
he looks like he has liver disease in that one.

Also, while I'm here, that one post of mine wasn't a worst-case scenario
It was a pessimistic scenario. We have clearly exceeded it. A worst-case scenario would’ve involved way more injury and death.
by Jeff Sullivan on May 9, 2010 3:45 AM CDT up reply actions
I think most of us realize that...
And honestly, that post getting thrown in your face is a low blow.
Anyhow, no Rangers fan who witnessed this game would troll a Mariners site.
In fact, no Rangers fan who has watched any Rangers game ever (expect for maybe that 30 run game, tell us how our ass taste, Baltimore?) should ever troll any other team’s anything. The Rangers might have less relevance than some minor league teams.
Sorry for the trolls.
by ghostofErikThompson on May 9, 2010 3:52 AM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, it's not like it's the regulars who're coming by and flipping shit
But I dunno, maybe they’re newbies who post over here and don’t know the rules. I’d just rather have us being the ones calling our team pathetic.

it’s like insulting your family.
It’s fine if you do it, but if someone else comes by and does it they better be ready for an ass kicking.

I had to go see who the troll was...
it was Rangers … not cool dude!
GoET did get 3 recs with his Shazbot em tomorrow gif….if you’re not going over there to say something nice don’t go, unlike that jerk-off from the A’s site who came on here.
