Holy cow, that game looks amazing. I mean, wow. And a full editor comes with it? Good grief. I don't ever play PC games anymore but that one would be #1 on my list in a heartbeat if I did. Wow.

I can't decide whether this looks awesome or whether it looks like a cliche-riddled mess.

The second one is a whole different situation since there's already a runner on third. I have no idea why managers don't walk guys in that situation either. Drives me nuts. But you don't walk a guy hitting .200 with one out and a guy on 2nd. That's just bad baseball - you know, not "The Cardinal Way".

I checked something like a dozen of the entries from the latest post and none of them are available for streaming on Netflix. What the heck? Yeah, I don't know. I just checked again and a couple of the ones I wanted to add (I hand't yet), are still aren't and the majority of the ones that showed as new are now gone from the list. This is the first time something like this has happened on this site, and I've been checking almost every day for half a year. Sorry! Yeah, I check it daily myself. It's a big mess right now. They've got season 1 of Orange is the New Black as being brand-new today, for example. But hey, at least THAT is available streaming, unlike 99% of everything else they've got listed.

No. You don't walk a guy hitting .200. There's already one out so no need to walk somebody to create a double play situation. You figure Jeter either strikes out, grounds out or flies out - none of which will advance the runner (unless he hits a bomb to center or something). Even if the runner advances, there's 2 outs so sacrifice fly not an issue. And, finally, they'd already sacrificed the guy to second (insert Tabe rant about how this is the worst play in baseball).

You do know that the latest game was the fastest-selling and biggest-selling in the series, right?

Great comparison - I think Payton was lying too.

Chan Ho learned from the original master, Denny McLain.

There aren't enough fingers and toes in this world to count all the mistakes WCW made like this.

Saracen might be my favorite character in any show ever. Riggins is great too. Saracen definitely has some all time awesome moments. He's so one note, which felt like a limitation of the actor, but it turned into him actually playing THAT KID many of us knew in school. Quiet. Meek. Lacking in self confidence. Seeing his character grow and mature throughout the show, including how he broke down into tears in front of Coach, was a real treat. You rarely see character growth like that. It's up there with Jesse and Walt's journey from Breaking Bad. All this Friday Night Lights talk got me looking on Ebay for a "Clear Eyes" shirt or something similar. And my search turned up the companion book, which I didn't know existed. I ordered a copy this morning. I have a feeling I'll be binge watching the show again before too much longer.

That's a great story.

Hughes just didn't want to look money-grubbing, I imagine. The Twins should give him the bonus anyway.

You're speaking in Cubs-speak so it all comes out as marble-mouthed gibberish.

This is a stupid side discussion but... How do I know Lidstrom was vastly superior to Jeter? Easy. Lidstrom was the best player at his positron in the last 40 years - maybe #2 if you favor Ray Bourque. Jeter wasn't even the best on his own team. Lidstrom was an elite player his entire career. Jeter had multiple years where he sucked. Lidstrom was elite offensively and defensively. Jeter was terrible defensively. That's how I know. This is probably where I should mention that I LIKE Jeter. I mean, heck, I might very well have had him as a student when he was in high school...

The short on Mackey Sasser was freaking awesome.

Only in the cities where he played. So every NHL city except Detroit and San Jose. Yeah, seriously, I don't remember either.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Give it a try. Seriously. It's not really about football.

This is really something that's unique to baseball I think. Take, for example, Nicklas Lidstrom in the NHL. Lidstrom is vastly superior to Jeter as a player - as in so much better that Jeter can't even sniff Lidstrom's rarefied air - and more than his equal in class and dignity as a person. "The Perfect Human" is a pretty great nickname to have, dontcha think? What did he get from the Red Wings fanbase or any other? Nothing. After he retired, they had a ceremony to retire his jersey. That's it. No year-long schmaltz-fest.

Everything I've ever heard about Cruise is that he's cool to work with. And I generally love his work. Oh yeah, Shooter is great.

Stick with Buddy. He's awesome. And, really, the whole show is full of awesome moments. Lots and lots and lots of them.

Bad Ass is a lot of fun. I enjoyed that way more than I thought I would.

Well, you're one. There can't be possibly be 4 or 5 whose opinions are as wrong as yours
