oh wow... talking baseball games!
I don't comment much on video games. Not really my style. I like all sports games and I'm not really a fan of first person shooter games, mainly because I don't have time to play them... but the Show... oh the Show... might be the best sports game ever. I am a baseball guy first, I love baseball, I love playing it, watching it, talking it, anaylzing it... everything. Outside of RBI baseball that I played as a kid, I have always been disappointed with these games, especially after you play them for a little while. Pitching is easy, batting is easier and the game itself is so slow.

And that is why the Show is amazing.

It is everything you could ask for in a baseball game. It has pitchers who recognize my willingness to swing at an outside slider and avoid high fastballs that I murder. Pitchers avoid guys who are on fire, like in reality. The pitching/batting challenge of this game is second to no baseball game ever and the attention to detail is above and beyond. If you have a PS3 and love you some baseball... the Show is the real deal.

Hey Adam,

What can you tell me about Radek Faksa? Does he draw an NHL comparison to anyone you can think of?

Kind of like a Martin Hanzal but not as gritty, two-way 2nd line kind of guy. Brian Huddle could give you more details.

Baseball games have sucked since about the mid 2000's when they changed the pitching engine, since then they have sucked. Batting is usually easiest to learn, however, in baseball games the pitching is where it is at, bad pitching = bad game IMO.

I hate the sox, but that was a retarded statement. he hasn't even pitched a game there yet. Boston is always a sellout no matter their record. a decade ago the phils were at the bottom in home attendance

(frank)ing waste of a spot when they use him as a forward. We could use more offense and we have him playing 4 minutes a night on the 4th line. he is too slow and useless up front. hardly anybody wants to drop them with him as well. Zuccarello should be up with the team imo. at least given a chance until kreider, assuming he signs.

Last I heard he had started skating on his own and had a set back, so I really don't know what to think, and there haven't been reports that I've seen.

Julien gets tired of answering the questions everyday, so he's basically told the press when you see him on the ice with us you'll know.
