    -MLB Power Pros (ps2) is fantastic, and keeps getting better as I progress through the season. If only I could get the "arrange team mode" in season unlocked. Then I could make some classic type rosters.

    -Royals will finish around .500 in '08, even in that ***** of a division.

    -This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb is my current favorite band. Do your self a favor and check them out.

    "Ace152" comes from my pitching days, Im also known to use the forum name "Bonny". Mid 30's, I like beer, mexican food and my wife and kids. MVP 2005 and RBI Baseball are the best video games ever created. Still pitch a bit, but my fastball left me 2 seasons ago. I dig punk rock, Hip hop from mid 80's to mid 90's, golf, yelling and Kansas City Royals baseball. I won an MVP award in 2004 and even scored a plaque, which hangs in my garage. I love maps and breaking up double plays.

    Im also psychic.

    -Im still enjoying Royals baseball, especially the past few weeks.

    -Currently 2-0 4.37 era this season. I have nearly nothing left in my arm and have had to rely on curves and sinkers in both my starts. The fastball is gone. POOF! Gone. But Im sitting at 99 career semipro wins, one more baby.

    -Speaking of babies, wife and I are getting ready for a third.

    -My internet is so slow. But living out in the sticks is kinda worth it. Except It takes days for me to DL anything.

    -have the first practice with my new team in Bham. I told my wife all winter that I was hanging up the spikes, but couldnt resist attending a new player workout/tryout last sunday. Ended up getting picked in the 1st round(5th overall). My arm is shredded however. Im fat too.

    -Calgary/Detroit should be VERY good tonight

    -The Thermals "The Body, The Blood, The Machine" has been in my truck CD player nearly non stop since its release last fall. GREAT ALBUM(if punk/indy stuff is your thing)

    -The "riser" is the most devastating pitch in the world of Wiffleball. Freaking unhittable.

    ...MLB 07 The Show(PS2) is growing on me big time. Mostly thanks to the great pitching interface. The franchise bug still sucks. So does the lack of roster editing.(it can be done, but its a pain in the butt) With some creative slider tweaking, it plays pretty close to MVP.

    ...I've switched to bottled beer only. No more cans.

    ...Taking a year off from playing (real) baseball. This will be the first season Ive missed since I took a year off to coach legion ball in 1993. My legs and my shoulder can use a break. Plus Im going to be swamped at work this summer. Plus Im fat.

    ...Its supposed to be 89 here today. Not liking that much.

    ...Subscribed to DirecTV and the MLB Extra Innings package. Wired up a box in my garage. The wife and kids each get their own room in the new house, the garage is mine. Now I need to go buy a recliner and a little fridge.

    ...I wish there were more Royals on the Pic of the Day.

    ...I used to be a big hockey(Avalanche) and college football(CSU Rams) fan, but my interest has declined in recent years. Now its pretty much all baseball.

    I plan on losing 20 or so lbs before next baseball season. Id like to catch again, plus the extra weight(6'1", 245) the past 2 seasons has torn the crap out of my legs.

    My only dietary change thus far has been switching from coffee to hot tea in the morning. Baby steps.

    My wife saw me testing some rosters this morning and stated, "Baseball in the morning. Baseball at night . Baseball all summer. Baseball, baseball baseball." I said, " Thats right woman." Gave her some sugar, slapped her behind and said, "Here's the card, go buy yourself something pretty."

    Pitchers: What do you throw?

    in Baseball 101

    1. 4 seamer lo 80's

    2.Curve/slurve depending on situation

    3.Circle change

    33, 6'1" 240

    6-4 4.10 era this season

    Im over the hill, and I've had to change the way I pitch the past 2 years, losing 5mph or so on my fastball. Now I throw breaking stuff 70% of the time.

    Remember kids, stash some pine tar somewhere on your uni/glove. It will help your curve a ton. Just a little bit though, not gobs of it. Just enough to get your middle finger sticky for that one pitch.
