The Wire Troll: Andrew Cashner’s Strong Return

Out since early July with a strained lat, Cashner returned to the rotation last week and was in fine form. He tossed five strong innings against Arizona, allowing four hits, no walks, and a couple of earned runs in a no-decision. The Padres are going with a six-man rotation down the stretch and Cashner’s got the Rockies at home in his next start. San Diego has been on quite the roll since the break and the successful return of Cashner will do nothing but aide in ensuring a strong finish for the Friars.

Although each of the face buttons serves a primary function, some change contextually based on where you’re positioned or which direction you’re pushing the left stick.

Video Game Review: Rock Band Blitz

It’s truly magnetic gameplay that calls for tons of experimentation with the power-ups as you mix and match to fit the style of the song. For example, fast-paced, guitar-heavy songs can benefit from guitar-specific bonus multipliers – then mix it with the Road Rage power up that wipes notes from other tracks to help you concentrate on hitting those string notes. The discovery of what works best is absolutely rewarding and keeps you coming back for more.
