'98 Yankees, minus Chad Curtis.

When I look at Nova's ERA it reminds of real life...

Isn't there a slider that addresses the foul ball issue?

Teixeira 4-4 and Beltran making flying catches????!?!?! Y4L: If only...

Same here. I'm wanto you to go 0-162, but I hope you have a lot of fun while you're at it

Isn't it amazing how ahead of their time the guys at EA were? Like Y4L said, makes you wonder, how much more is there to discover.

Pretty cool

The one of Lou Gehrig batting is also pretty great.

We all agree on that one. Wow, this must be a first!

It's all a matter of balance. If he's there all the time, than it's obviously too much. What is too much? Well, that is a very good question, and if there are no guidelines in place, then the lines will get blurry. A 14 year old might be a kid, but he isn't a child anymore. Think back to when you were 14. Still, some things might not be appropriate for a kid to hear and see. Of course, if it was agreed with Laroche that his kid could be around, and then they change the rules on him, he's most definitely right to feel betrayed.

Doesn't seem bad visually, but it still looks a bit too arcady.

Like most things, to me, the best solution lies somewhere in the middle. Emotions are part of every sport, and as long as you don't exagerate in your celebrations, they should be accepted. Hitting a Home-Run is incredibly hard, and you shouldn't be expected to just keep your head down and go about your life like nothing happened. If you score a goal in Hockey, you are allowed to celebrate. Maybe this was how things were in the old days, but the old days were hardly and example about many other things. Integration is one. I'm not comparing both things, just saying that things change and so does our understanding of them. Goose Gossage recently went crazy on this subject. I can understand where he came from. To me, as long as you act professional and don't disrespect your opponents, celebrate away. In Jiu-Jitsu there are rules in place that clearly state that you can neither celebreate too much nor leave the mat until the referee has raised the winner's arm. World Championships were lost because over-celebration. These rules have been a matter of discussion over the years, but I very much agree with them. Be happy all you want, just don't disrespect the sport or your opponent. In my particular case I don't celebrate too much after victories, but I have punched the floor like a madman after loosing one time - right afterwards, still on the mat, I apologized to the referee and to my opponent (both friends of mine), I was just mad at myself for screwing up. Nobody batted an eye - emotion is a part of every sport.

On the one hand I coudln't care less for how anybody else looks. On the other, I do like the notion of the Yankees looking like a professional and well groomed baseball team. And of course, an employer has the right - to an extent - to demand their employees to look a certain way. For example ,you wouldn't want to be in a court of law where a judge shows up wearing sakteboarding shoes and baggy jeans. (A person's value does not lie in their appearance, that is another matter, but certain things are expected from certain jobs).

How fun would baseball be if pitchers had to give batters the location of the next pitcher? Like snooker, where you have to name which pot you're aiming for. That would be a cool feature for an All-Star game, hahahaha

Screw the 30 games. Just give CC a bottle and then make him slap Chapman around. (OK, this was insensitive to CC's addiction, but Chapman deserves a good slap-around)

I'm getting the same. I agree with Gordo, time to move on and find some better AV.

So, nobody voting for Bernie Williams then? Shocker.

There he is picklebrad

Rick Ankiel and Jeff Francouer couldn't do much else, but they have\had great arms.

Just by googling 'SF Giants font' I got a lot of hits. Maybe you'll get lucky.

That's exactly what I think.

Rose doesn't do himself any favors every time he opens his mouth.

There's great food all over Portugal

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.

A newer game sure would help, but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen. You can only re-invent MVP a certain amount of times, no matter how great it is. It's just not going to appeal to the younger fans, sadly. Either we talk more about real life baseball here, or we're going to be extinct sometime in the not so distant future.
