Speaking of, would you think it would be a good idea if, on the Dark Knight Rises DVD, they have a "In Memory Of" for the victims of the shooting after the credits?


I think they should. When they were talking about possibly pulling the movie I thought "It better be to dedicate it to the victims" they most likely will. If not, I wouldn't be too surprised, on The Dark Knight DVD, there was no mention of Heath Ledger even though the movie was dedicated to him.

Two things that interest me about Gamgster Squad, though, Will Beall is wrote the script for this and the upcoming Justice League movie. If this is good, then I'll get my hopes up more for a Justice League film. Second, is Ryan Gosling. He could play Batman in the Batman reboot/Justice League movie. If he does a good job in this it means he can do action and be the playboy Bruce Wayne.

Plus the fact that it just looks to me like a damn good film.

While taking a break from roster updating I think I'm gonna start a MP in 2K12, as a starting pitcher.
The tough decision is to join a contender or help out a struggling team like KC get to the playoffs. I also might help out my Phillies salvage a winning season virtually.

Also just read about Manny Machado in the O's game today. He hit 2 homers in his second game that both went to the same exact fan. Apparently he was the youngest Oriole to have a multi-homer game. Pretty cool.

That is pretty cool.

The Phillies got a good win tonight. Chase Utley <3 He hit the home run to win it.

Oh, and, the third to first move worked. I'm not joking. It actually worked with Johnathan Lapelbon and it ended the game. Carlos Beltran got out on a third to first move. He is the chump of all chumps tonight. To be fair, he broke for second as soon as Papelbon moved, still the third to first move? Wow.

Yeah, Howard and Chase have played better as of late. (Huge homer by Chase, whew. :) )
Halladay's dominance in his last two starts have proved he's back, for sure. It definitely would give me more hope for next season if some young guys step up and we win some more games by the end of this season.

Throwing around some deliveries to use. I like a quick delivery so I'm thinking Heath Bell, Jenks, Jason Motte, Okajima, and K-Rod, but I also like Daniel Hudson and Strasburg's, though they're a bit slower.

Alright, can someone help me out here? After I finish my next team (the Mariners) in my project, I'm going to do the Dodgers. Now, a lot of their acquisitions (Blanton, Ramirez, Victorino) are already on different teams that I've already done. What would a 25-man roster for the Dodgers look like before those acquisitions they made? Sorry if this seems impossible to do, but I just need a bit of help.

Do you want something like their Opening Day 25-man roster?

Philliesfan, you totally just missed his point. Dish, you're probably better off finding their roster from earlier this season and using that

Yep, I did. I misread. I thought he said after those trades were made, not before.

But yeah I would probably look at their Opening Day roster or something similar.

Ok, no problem. In other news, pull out beds in hotels are SO UNCOMFERTABLE!

I have to say, since I'm a pitcher in AA for My Player, my fielders suck SOOOOO bad. It frustrates me to no end. I end up losing skill points and occasionally giving up runs because my infielders constantly bobble balls, throw off-target, or dive and completely miss the ball.

On another note from my MP, one of my last starts had me and Toronto's AA team battling through 10 innings to a scoreless tie until we ended up losing 1-0 in the 11th. I had 0 energy through the last few innings but I was dealing the whole way. It sucks that I went so long and wasn't rewarded the W, though. :)

Edit: Man what a difference a new delivery makes. After having some rough outings I changed my delivery to Strasburg's and twirled a 13-strikeout, 3-hit, complete game shut-out, my best performance yet.

Seems like when you're doing fast games, 99% of the time the AI doesn't understand the concept of a sacrifice fly. I mean, I've seen one or two, but I've seen way more times that there has been a runner on third and 0-1 out, and the batter hits a fly ball to the warning track for an out but the runner didn't stay on the base to tag up...
