Hey Wabash, <BR> <BR>It is definitely frustrating. All the pieces are in place for an excellent game, but there are just too many flaws still, IMHO. <BR> <BR>I didn´t notice the GM AI problems as much as the in-game simulation issues. It´s a shame they can´t combine the GM structure of OOTP with the...

I´ll have to check that out. A good friend let me borrow the DVD of the first season of "Coupling", another BBC show that NBC is converting this year. It´s also on Fridays on BBC America. Hilarious! I hope, but doubt, that the US version can do it justice.

I wasted a bunch of time monkeying around with OOTP Baseball last week. The GM options are fun, but the game simulator is so out of wack that it ruined the experience for me. <BR> <BR>I was grumpy about gaming until I fired up a new season of WE6. Ahhhh, that hit the spot! I´m also going to dive bac...

C´mon, Dave. Don´t repress that Beatles animosity now. Let us know how you really feel. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif">
<BR>
<BR>I´ve actually known a few others like you who hate them. I don´t understand it, but at least you hate Oasis.

Dave:

<BR>The Beatles
<BR>The Rolling Stones
<BR>???????????????????
<BR>
<BR>That´s just silly <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_wink.gif">

Geez, this could be damn near endless: <BR> <BR>The Roots <BR>Los Lobos <BR>Wilco <BR>White Stripes <BR>Fountains of Wayne <BR>Robbie Fulks <BR>Flaming Lips <BR>Mos Def <BR>Common <BR>Michael Franti <BR>Gillian Welch <BR> <BR>This is about the first bunch I thought of off the top of my head. And it ...

Brando, <BR> <BR>I don´t object to interleague because of tradition. It ain´t the fact that it´s newfangled that bothers me. It´s the fact that it wickedly knocks the schedule off balance, especially among wildcard teams. The way it´s implemented is so silly that 10% of your schedule can end up bein...

I´m with you, Cincy. I hate interleague nonsense as much as anyone, and have from Day 1. But if someone happened to wave a Cubs-Yanks ticket in my general direction...

<BR>What can I say, my principals are for sale <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_cool.gif">

No way he should get 15-20 games. Previous corkers <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif"> get 7-10 and ball scuffers (a more common and infinitely more effective cheat) get even less! 8 games is about right.

I *think* it was intentional, but I don´t think it´s something that he did regularly. He was just desperate because of his slump. This guy lives and dies for public acceptance, and getting booed on Saturday was probably worse than being 0-for the week. <BR> <BR> I´m guessing that the had the bat aro...

Sammy may be that. Don´t know the man. But I do know that Skip Bayless was the personification of every negative sportswriter stereotype when he was here. Constantly made himself the story, always had an agenda in favor of those players who gave him access and against those who didn´t. It was a very...

LOL

Before I get too far into my season...
<BR>
<BR>Are there any other essential downloads/mods I need for CM4? There seem to be a ton of mods and skins, but I have no idea which, if any, are essential. Any help?

Dave, <BR> <BR>Don´t take this the wrong way, as I´m happy for you that your boys made it into Europe. But that HAS to be the most ridiculous basis for qualification that I´ve ever heard LOL It´s so screwed up that I can´t believe Bud Selig didn´t think of it <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile....

Lately I´ve been listening to damn near 75% of my collection on my bad-ass new Archos 20gig MP3 player. And I wouldn´t be doing it so effortlessly were it not for pk´s valuable input. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif"> <BR> <BR>As for CD´s: <BR> <BR>Lucinda Williams "World Without Tears" ...

I never knew who Mendieta was until I picked him up in WE6 last week <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif"> Needless to say, he´s been helpful in improving my set-piece play.

Thanks for the heads up, Dave. I downloaded the latest 45MEG monster over the weekend. No fun on my trusty ol´ 56k modem

Pete, <BR> <BR>It´ll click eventually...and it´s fun figuring it out. I find the best way to score from the middle with your strikers is to get them the ball on the corner of the box, take the defenders to the outside a few steps, 180 suddenly back toward the middle and unload about mid-way. If ther...

Took me four years of division 1 play, but I finally won the triple! Just had to share <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif"> Now I´m gonna try and go undefeated for a season...then it´s on to CM4, I swear!

Yeah, I learned with my last PC purchase that they´re like houses. It´s always best to buy a bit more than you can probably afford.

Thanks, Galley. That Toshiba seems to meet or beat all of your suggested benchmarks, which is reassuring. It´s got 3 USB2´s and a Firewire, which is nice because I just picked up an 80gig Firewire HD a while back.
<BR>
<BR>Thanks for the input.

I had an EXCRUTIATING experience in my ML last night! Final of the Masters Cup, my Liverpool squad v. Celtic. <BR> <BR>We´re tied at 1 and in Loss Time when my SMF Olisadebe breaks free down the wing and enters the area.
