If I'm Golden State, my eyes and ears just perked up. San Antonio without their main superstar just made a statement against what was some fans' sexy pick for the West. With Duncan and Robinson, it used to be that the Spurs picked up steam during the second half of the season. Now, it's the playoffs. The West Finals are shaping up to be marquee tele.

May hold off until a LAN coming up in about a week. Still rather tempted, though.

Alright, who wants Johnathan Villar?

If you're running Gilgamesh, then by all means make dem War Carts are hunt dem Barbs like they're stranger things. Otherwise, they just annoy me to no end. Skews every Civ towards war regardless of their strengths. Damn non-Mongolian Mongolians.

You don't wanna scare him off!

The Civics tree really helps you streamline into what type of victory you're seeking - for better or worse. I'd argue to start with either America (war, baby!) or Egypt (commerce, Silvia!) and go from there. Oh...turn off barbarians.

Extremely rough news. Berman's not the greatest human being to walk the planet, but nobody deserves that experience.

Four-player couch co-op finally spelled out and confirmed, so done and done.

Anyone intrigued in NBA Playgrounds? Thinking of getting it on the PC and reviews seems to be par for the course, but there's that nagging dissenting opinion for whatever reason.

Houston has lost Nene for the playoffs. Not exactly a killshot, but the guy's been valuable this year. Look, I'm not saying I want to keep the Warriors and Cavs out of the finals, I'm just saying Rockets/Spurs vs. Celtics/Wizards would be pretty damn fun.

His brilliance has caused Meester Alldeersun to DELETE him from the roster...temporarily. If the NL East was the Hardy Compound, the Mets would be Drunken Vanguard1 right now. (Yes, that makes the Braves the dilapidated boat.)

Seems the same as AP. 1 yr./$3 mil. Agreed with the idea that even at 75%, it's a good pickup. Did they keep C.J. Anderson? Seems the two could make a pretty good combo while not letting either good too over-worked.

To say nothing else about Civ VI, the music they've used for the Aussies is right bonzer.

It is the end of the year for scouts and such, though. They've done their part. That's gonna be weird for the new GM when the coach starts swinging their weight around.

I mean...it's only Thursday...but...

Dawn of War 3 Open Beta until Monday. I've already pre-ordered it, so I'm hoping to see how my rig handles such things.

Btw, I think you and I face off next week, so early congrats on your win. I'll be on a boat somewhere dangerously close to the Bermuda Triangle.

I'm with ya. If Atlanta traded every single person on their roster for Giannis, I'd support it.

When I was growing up, I told my Mom that the saddest song I ever heard was the ending theme for Mystery Science Theater 3000. She asked me why and I said 'it's because there's not any more MST3k to watch." That is still true. When the last episode finished, I was immensely sad and yet incredibly proud of what they accomplished. Even if this was the final hurrah, I'm exhaustively thankful to have seen their work.

Yeah, it's usually used for players that are exclusively DH. I think it came into prominence when David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez shifted to DH roles as opposed to 1B or 3B.

That means it's a category you aren't competing in.

That should still be the same as last year. Yahoo may have removed the mentioning during a redesign.

It is not a good time to be a catcher on my team. In the span of three days: -Buster Posey takes a fastball to the head. -His replacement, Geovany Soto, busts up his elbow. If someone has a hit out for Lucroy or Jason Castro, just let me know now, k? Oh, and feel free to bitch about the league here. Ain' nobody got time to clean up the draft thread.

Got no time for people like Mixon. No putting you on the spot, TCO, but if someone is punching a woman in the head and breaking bones, I am very concerned.
