Wow, I just saw the DUMBEST homer I think I have ever seen before. Soriano basically leans over the plate and one hand swings at one almost in the dirt that he flicks 435 feet to center field...........The last game I played was a joke, their frigan batboy probably could have hit a homer blindfolded.

Are you still on Pro or tweaking the sliders?

That last game was on Pro which is why it shocks me so much......I lost 10-5 against the Cubs using the Redsox. Just saw something cool though that I figured I would share. I got youk on first, Ortiz smokes a grounder to 2nd, the second baseman trys to tag Youk out but Youk evades it and winds up on second, everyone safe.

Damn, that's definitely new!

Pro and Rookier are def a bit arcadish. I had a similar HR with A-Rod last night, a low-and-away pitch (off the plate) and I pulled it over the Green Monster. The swing looked awkward like it should have been a pop-out to third. Haven't seen it yet on All-Star but I've only played about 10 innings.

I'm still working on doing something about sliders for myself on All-Star. The players have too much power out of the gate on All-Star for my taste. Mainly the CPU players hitting an obsene amount of bombs. Hell, Ehh we should correspond and make our own sliderset!

Can anybody tell me if Bonds( under a fake name) or Clemens is in the FA list for this game?

Bonds is usually under John Dowd or something like that.

i understand that. what i was wondering is whether he and or clemens were on the free agents list? neither have officially retired, so my guess would be that they would be on there like clemens was last year. but i was just hoping somebody could confirm.
