So LeBron James is going back to the Cavs. Didn't see that coming honestly.

@Mr_Mustache

So did I...

@-JKR-

Ferme ta gueule!

@Earendil

You guys hurt my feelings last night winning like that. WE wanted to win!
07/12/14, 16:15   
@-JKR-

lol I still can't believe that play Billy Hamilton made. That kid is special.
07/12/14, 23:01   
@Earendil

That was pretty fantastic, indeed.

Not a huge soccer guy, but that was a pretty goal for Germany in the finals today. Well done, Deutchland!
07/14/14, 06:32   
Yeah, it was an enjoyable finals to watch. It was another 0-0 game after 90 mins, but it was an exciting one, with lots of chances (unlike Argentina's previous game against Netherlands). And very pretty goal to end it, so glad we didn't go to PKs again. All in all, a very well-earned victory for Germany.
07/14/14, 14:03   
NO ONE CAN STOP GERMANY

BOW DOWN BEFORE OKTOBERFEST
EAT THE BRATS
07/15/14, 01:18   
yeah.... i was hoping for a dutch/germany final... It would have had a bit more action for sure.... Argentina play to defend..drives me crazy.

This year was an overall great tournament..and it's safe to say the winner went to the best team by far. Way to go Germany...

Talk about a lame Home Run Derby. National League, more like LOL LEAGUE amirte
07/15/14, 17:37   
The Home Run contest is one of the most boring displays of 'skills competition' in the four major sports. Baseball should really find a way to incorporate more baseball skills into their All Star Game celebration, like hockey does. Why not a catcher vs. base runner stealing game? That would be exciting. Why not hit rocket grounders at a 3rd baseman and see how many he successfully fields and throws? Why not a pitching competition where 4 or 5 breakable targets are set up around the plate (middle, upper and lower corners of strike zone)? And of course the home-run competition can be pared down to basic points-per-hit. Specific areas of the field can be awarded points, with HRs being the most. Line drives down the line can be worth the next most, or shots off the wall.

Anything to spice up what is otherwise, a VERY dull experience.

@TheOldManFromZelda

That pitcher-hitting-targets sounds pretty cool, but I don't know if I'd want to watch a third baseman field grounders. :P
07/15/14, 22:57   
I set my VCR (not DVR) for it, and found out -- with ANGER -- that there was going to be about a one hour rain delay. GAH. How am I supposed to watch the whole thing now?! "Luckily," when the stuff I had taped DID end, I flipped over to ESPN (@ ~6am) and they were recapping it from where I left off. I can dig it.

Like Lou suggested, yeah, maybe a points competition would be better, maybe get some points based on cumulative feet or something. Its a good point; I don't know how they had all of this stuff in baseball videogames before, but never out there for real. MVP Baseball 2005 has the spruced up Derby stuff that Lou mentioned as well as the Pitching mini-game (though more computerized..and videogame..).

Commonwealth Games starting tomorrow! Woop!

Thought about posting a seperate thread, but it would probably just be infested by either gloating Aussies (Me and pokefreak) or gloating Brits. The Canadians are going to pretend it isn't happening. Ah well.

@Shadowlink

Whoop! Team NI.
You'll find us on the podium for boxing... and little else.
Wait, is there shooting? We might be contenders there too. Fighting and shooting. Come to Northern Ireland! lol

@Super_Conzo

I hope we'll take the pool events, but our swimmers have been a bit rubbish in recent years. Should do well in the Hockey & Netball though. Maybe the Rugby.

@Shadowlink
There is actually a third Australian I invited here that lurks sometimes. He still hasn't posted yet though...
07/24/14, 04:56   
@Pokefreak911

I've invited a few others over the years too. My cousin who barely posts, an old primary school friend who can barely remember his own login details, and another friend who never posted and hasn't spoken to me since my relationship with his sister went down the shitter (Queenslanders, what can you do).

Mustache actually did a list a while ago based on profile locations, there's about a dozen of us. You, me and the guys above account for about half of that. All the rest lurk.

Only regular active posters count IMO.

@Shadowlink
The person I invited only recently got into Nintendo so I thought this place would be a great fit for him, he's just busy with Uni and stuff so he doesn't have much time.
I wouldn't mind seeing that list.
