Dave Trembley Booted out of B-More
The Orioles needed to do something as, while injuries played a factor, the bottom line here is that the losses were piling up and a change was in order.

Video Game Review: Alpha Protocol
The actual layout of the controller doesn’t take long to become accustomed to, but that doesn’t mean it’s always smooth sailing. The sensitivity of the left stick is a constant hassle, both with moving around and aiming your gun. Considering you’re supposed to be a stealthy bad ass, those aren’t the best areas to be having difficulty. The too-close camera further exacerbates the issues.

Video Game Review: Rocket Knight
It all works like you’d want from a platformer. Once you get used to the rocket-pack mechanic, you’ll find yourself zooming all over the game map. The responsive controls are necessary, as the action gets in close quarters during some points, and the jump/rocket-boost/attack combination can get frantic. However, you’ll never feel like you’re out of control.

Video Game Review: ModNation Racers
The default settings hold up fairly well, however, with accelerating/braking (R2/L2) and boosting (L1) mapped to the shoulders, and drifting/jumping (X), weapons (square) and shields (circle) on the face. You can also sideswipe other karts by flicking the right stick toward the offending vehicle. So while things are still straightforward, there’s some strategy lurking just below the surface.

Indy Leagues: Remember Reggie Taylor?
Speed was his ticket to the Show – Taylor swiped 40 bags at High-A in 1997, but a lack of patience doomed him – he drew 28 walks against 163 strikeouts in the Show and, even in the minors, his OBP rarely careened above .300.

Dear RotoRob: H2H Help!
I have won one week since Week Two. I am in third place, but double digits behind second. My offensive stats are middle of the pack or worse across the board. My pitching is the only reason I’m even this high at this point.

The Wire Troll: Don’t be a Dumbo, Pick up Trumbo
The picture of Morales on the ground with his leg bent in the wrong direction is not a pretty one, folks, and this is a huge loss to the Angels as they try to keep pace with both the Rangers and Athletics in a suddenkly tough American League West Division. I’m not against celebrating, but let’s face it, this wasn’t Game Seven of the World Series and it’s just about time to cut this crap out of the game before someone else gets seriously hurt.
