That Mike Fontenot... thread pretty much killed what was left of my soul.

FYC!

Apparently the Indians are battling the Orioles for most ex-Cubs.

Orioles aren't going to give up easily.

They are trying to trade for Gathwright according to crazy rumor guy.

Vinny Del Negro is a stupid fucking cunt.

Someone should shiv him.

I'd forgotten how comical NBA refereeing has become.

I don't know how KD manages to still care so much.*

*may just be an effort to get him to come over here and tell me how bad
the officiating really was.

FYC!

Two games in, and _already_ two awful, awful selfish solo homers.

Milton Bradley is the most entertaining Cub since Zambrano always. I'm going to love this era.

Injury scare, dropped line drive, fan interaction that could have ended in a dead white kid.

Pretty good start.

Screw the wedding talk.  Let's talk about Pre's bachelor party instead.

Two words :

Eastern.  Europe.

Krakow is fun, I've been there a few times.

Does anyone here need wedding invites?

Yes, I think.  Last time I allowed my brain to process the wedding conversations we were still deciding.

Well worth the read if you were fond of DFW:

No way!  It's almost like they're not real people.

I really wish you had something else in your life other than to sit around and shit out
the same tired comments in a pathetic attempt to someday get invited to eat at the
cool kids table.

A couple more wins, and it'll be time to restart the franchise at the next difficulty level, grab a team I don't necessarily like and start wheelin' and dealin'. 

I was reading one of the devs say that some of the franchise bugs they were fixing would require a restart, so might be early to start a "serious" franchise.

The r-stick throwing actually works right, so that's nice.

I find if I throw an unreasonably ridiculous amount of sliders and curveballs, the AI doesn't slaughter every pitch.

Also, I don't care about the cards you can unlock, but the general bug filled nature of the game was highlighted
for me when Alex Rios hit a two run double off the right field fence against me and I unlocked his card.  Maybe it
was for not giving up a grandslam...

Also, thanks for Thabo.  He's turning out to be very useful.

He's a pretty decent mediocre player.

Seriously, I don't know NBA basketball, but I always thought he was a pretty useful guy to have.

(Also, just to be an ass, I have to mention that Gary Thorne is one of the worst in the business.  Maybe I'm saying that because whenever he calls an Iowa game, he turns into a biased prick.  STICK TO HOCKEE THORNE!  He's the main pbp guy for the Orioles.  All my DC-area friends want his ass GONE.  To be a non-ass, I bet he's not so insufferable in this game.  He cannot be as bad as Verne Lundquist in College Hoops 2K7.)

I thought I was the only one that hated Thorne. Welcome to the club!

I'm quickly learning to hate him.  If I make it through more games before I give up,
I'm sure I'll be asking to learn the secret handshake.
