MLB 08: THE SHOW PREDICTIONS

roxintober — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:37:35 -0000

I mentioned this in the game discussion the other day. I'm gonna try to play a game of MLB08 The Show every day, based on a projected lineup and the projected pitchers. It worked out decently the other night, Tulo had a big base hit, Redman had a very reasonable start. So tonight, 04/17/08, I have played the game, and this is what we will see:

1. Singles galore from the Rox. An extra base hit when it matters.

2. Peavy gone much earlier than expected. (First 5 innings)

3. Francis returning to form.

4. Rox win.

Obviously, I'm gonna keep it semi-vague, because saying the score will be X-X is a bit silly. But this is what I'm predicting. Also, another good night from Barmes, if he starts.

For the Tiebreaker. Anyone in attendance PLZ do this!

Ok, so I am going. I suggest everyone from PURPLE ROW do the same as I am.

I am making signs that say "PEAVY SHMEAVY" and "PEAVY LIKES COLDPLAY" (if you do the same, insert any band that is easy to make fun of, like Nickelback as well).

I want everyone going to the game from PURPLE ROW to do the same.

PEAVY SHMEAVY

PEAVY LIKES COLDPLAY

Hurdle needs to learn one thing....

Hurdle needs to learn a display of emotion.

He needs to get kicked out of a few games in the next few weeks. Maybe 1 per week.

He's gotta throw a tirade too, like thrown hats, sunflower seeds and bubble gum on the field. Baseballs thrown, broken bats. I even like using the rosin(sp?) bag as a hand grenade. Get these players going.

I understand that it can be hard being a baseball player, but I just don't think Hurdle is someone these players want to back up. Hurdle has just reverted to his own ways. I even heard him say "These guys are doing as much as they can." Now...that's just terrible to hear a manager say.

Sure....accept the way your players are playing...less than .500 baseball over the last month. Back to your comfort zone.
