Green Monster Games (Curt Schilling)

RJ will go down as arguably one of the 3-4 most dominating strike out pitchers that ever lived, if not the most dominating. Josh still has his legacy to craft but I wouldn't bet against him.

Should steroid offenders have their marks taken out of record books? :P

I'm thinking of a certain Yankee and Giant here...

anyways, you owe it to yourself to at least check out TR even if you aren't particularly interested in the sci-fi setting since you are in the business of MMO's.

(oh and I saw what RJ did to that bird, no way I'd ever want to bat against him :P)

I really appreciate you taking the time out to talk with us, and specifically myself over the last 1hr or so. It's nice to see that from 'the big guys' every once in a while. If when Im back from lunch, you have left, I jsut wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and to keep your nose to the grindstone, sir.

-Less classes, more freedom Having 24 in one game is just too damn many to keep up with and balance!
take care

We don't sit back bitching about whether Veeshan is a gigantic #$@!$ afterall.

You have little respect for him? Or you just aren't a fan? Respect denotes personal knowledge of someone doesn't it? Maybe that's just how I take the word, it's a pretty significant to me, my respect for someone else.

Not liking an artist has zero to do with respect to me.

He's basically entered the NYT best seller list multiple times in a genre that gets very little play there. His audience is world wide, and ya I am biased because I am a fan, but his talent is irrefutable imo. The guy knows how to make iconic characters and memorable worlds, far more than I could ever do with a pencil and paper.

Down loading a trial now.

And ya, if someone is caught, or admits to using, the time period in use should be completely wiped out in my opinion, stats, awards, all the personal stuff. Even if you have to go back and 're-gift' awards I am all for it.

Damn, I've always liked you since I heard you were a gamer, too bad you don't pitch for the Dodgers

(oh and really the thing I hate most about the steroid stuff is the tarnish it puts on the legitimate players and the fact they had to compete against a bunch of cheaters...I personally don't care what someone does to their bodies otherwise)

regifting sucks. I got a broken coin collector last year.

Whatever you do Ngruk, please make raiding more than a few lame groups. I know 72+ man raids will probably never happen again, but there sure is an awesome feeling when you down a big badass mob with like 40 other people, a collective omg we r so awesome feels pretty good.

The MLB should fine the player for using steroids for their whole entire salary for the years they used steroids. Then they make it into a big check and the offender has to hand it over to charity in a huge press release.

Good luck getting the players association to sign off on that one

Just wanted to say I really enjoy R. A. Salvatore's writing as I've read around 15 of his books, his fight scenes are excellent and , for the record, Artemis Entreri >>>> Drizzt.

[Draegan]

R.A. is a pretty good author. I loved reading his Star Wars books. Put some nice flavor on it.

38S's got a good mix of talent on the top end. Good writer, good artist and a baseball player that loves MMOs and has the money to spend.

think this will ever happen with bud selig as commish? i mean, he's the main reason why all this cheating happened in the first place. he knew what was going on even in the mid 90's. the 98 season really "saved baseball" because that summer really got a lot of people reinterested in the sport after the strike. it was plainly obvious mcguire and sosa were on steroids (among others). i mean, you could see the zits all over mcguire's neck when he was playing and on his back in some post game interviews. i'm originally from pittsburgh, and when barry bonds came into the league he weighed maybe 190 pounds, then, in his mid 30's he goes to san fran and puts on 50 pounds of muscle and his head grows 4 sizes.

i just think it was a combination of selig knowing the homerun chase was good for the sport and being horribly afraid of the player's union. testing for steroids and other performance enhancing drugs should have been in place since the early 80's. however, i hope this investigation leads to many people being suspended and records being removed.

[Daezuel]

I wonder why Baseball is so targeted though...is anyone gonna sit here and tell me that there aren't far more roided up freaks in the NFL?

[Draegan]

All NFL players are tested. They have strict rules against it.
