OT: Best web baseball publications?

With spring training only a couple of weeks away (drools) and my Jays on the verge of becoming a contender once again (prays), I'm wondering what online baseball publications you guys read. ESPN Insider seems to be pretty in-depth. Not sure of the price, but I'd be willing to pay for some good onlin...

Increasing playing time is definitely a good suggestion.....I'm playing on 20 mins. now (not sure how long it takes in actuality), but would be open to a 25 minute game if need be. Love that avatar fan, just don't tell PK that we are only the 5th team in soccer history to have the most internationa...

In the good old days when my work-from-home job gave me a tonne of free time and cash for gaming, the hefty price tag might not have been a gamebreaker for me. However, now that I'm back in the real world, busting my ass for every dollar and cherishing each free hour I have, I just can't see myself ...

I think that overall the hit variety is good, but is anyone else seeing a disproportionate amount of base hits up the middle? I just get the feeling with this game and EA baseball games in general (Triple Play included) that if I am not aiming my hit somewhere, it will go straight an unreasonable a...

I love the fact that passes are far less accurate this year. Ratings have more of an impact as they should.

Besides the ball being more lively, I believe they've created a better momentum model for the players as well.

Wow...never expected such a huge leap in realism. First impressions after 4 games. -Ball is more lively. Leads a tonne of scrambles for loose balls and makes it much harder to just plow through the defense. -Loose ball battles are more varied an immersive. -Headers from loose balls have a better "fl...

Unfortunately, my switch from the ps1 controller (which was pre-owned and I took back because the analogue sticks were too loose) to a ps2 pad has backfired on me. There is severe lag on "analogue" mode and even when I turn it on right when the xbox powers up, the lag on the shoulder buttons is unbe...

You could really see why he made the Vince trade- Aaron and Eric Williams provided adequate water to teammates when they appeared thirsty, and Mourning's presense, even ...

Bought a dreambox converter (delivered in less than a week surprisingly) and also picked up a used ps1 controller from EB. While the converter is amazing, the pre-owned controller probably wasn't the best idea...The analogue sticks seem to be a little loose. Is this common with ps1,ps2 controllers? ...

Thanks skinsfan (good luck tonight by the way...jk, go seahawks)...I've tried those sliders out before and found them to be pretty solid. The only problem I had was seeing guys like Peja take a million 3 point attempts at times.

NBA2K6 Sliders (xbox)

Just picked up this game the other day and can definitely see why the game (and the 360 version) have been getting such positive reviews from gamers. The feel of this game is great and the new shot stick controls really change the way I think about basketball gaming. I've found that all-star difficu...

I'm embarrased about it, but turns out the real problem was that my original AR memory card is pure crap.

Yeah, I did that.

I then when into MVP, saw it under Rosters and tried to load it...Still got the unable to load message.

Are there some files in the folder that I should remove? That's the only thing I can think of right now.
