After today's game
I hope hendry and beane make another trade. Do they really need mike wuertz? They already have bailey, devine, and ziegler. Reunion of wuertz in chicago please!
I tried really hard to like Wuertz
But he made it very difficult in his last couple months as a Cub.

Rajai Davis
He wouldve been a solid CF option, love that elite speed and defense
Oakland was not going to trade him.
Rajai was absolutely on fire in the second half last year. They love the guy.
Of course, he probably could have been gotten prior to that 2nd half. I agree that he’s pretty awesome.

Gosh, this guy is a potential monster pitcher.

Gallagher was traded to the Padres last year...
… as a PTBNL in the Scott Hairston deal.

@Twitter as @brommmietze
Yeah.
The audio will be as good as your connection… same with a lot of the video streaming sites… if you’ve got 1500kbps down, its going to feed you accordingly. If you’ve got 500, you are gonna see reduced quality.
If you have wifi available, stream the games there instead. Better quality, longer battery life.

MLB 2k10 or MLB 10 the Show?
Has anyone bought either yet?
I only have a 360 so i’m stuck with mlb 2k10.
No ps3, but i could downgrade to a ps2 or psp version of mlb 10.
WHich option is best?
i talked to someone at gamestop today who said the show...
i have both and am planning on going with the show
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
I haven't seen the new 2k version
But all the other years The Show wins hands down and I don’t see why that would change at all this year. I have The Show and it is very addictive. Especially the Road To The Show campaign.
I have MLB 2k10
and can say that while it is vastly improved from last year, 2k is working on a patch to fix some things, but they are more of tweaks. The Show is a safer bet this year, but next year 2k will be on par with it.
The Show is far superior
The 2K franchise is making strides, but it’s still an inferior product. They should do what the did with the ESPN NFL2K5 or whatever when they were fighting with Madden back in the day… the offered it for $20 compared to Madden selling for $50… it was as good as Madden, but at that price point it sold a ton. They should sell the 2K games for $30 and hope to make a small dent in the budget-conscious buyer, especially since they’ll never be able to compete when it comes to quality, depth of features, and just sheer enjoyment. Check out the compiled averages at MetaCritic and I’m sure you’ll agree.

If you gave up on pitchers in one really bad spring training outing
The Tigers would be releasing Max Sherzer, who just gave up 5 runs on 4 hits, 3 walks and no strike outs while getting one batter out. I am thinking the Tigers are not thrilled about this, but guessing he will get a few more innings to see how it goes.

Wells – 2 IP, 6 up 6 down

And I, too, am a big Good MB fan. He’s been great for team chemistry so far and is producing early
