I've been all about the Out of the Park Baseball 9 the last few weeks. I'd try Diamond Mind, but it doesn't have a Mac version and OOTP does. I am starting to be sufficently addicted that I'm thinking of looking for a OOTP-based online fantasy league and try out my defense-walks-doubles-and-groundballs approach against real people.

Hopefully 2K Front Office will be better than NFL Head Coach, but 2K makes some pretty awesome sports games, so I'm sure it will be good. As for online simulation games, I highly recommend Sim Dynasty, a simulation loosely based on the 1950's, so there's no DH, no free agency and no interleague play. I've been playing it nonstop and sunk countless dollars into it for almost 5 years now.

Is there anything like HBD on the Xbox 360 by chance? It sounds fun, but 15 bucks for a 3 month season… well I’d want to play my season quicker and for less in the long run.

There will be soon.

“People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.” —Rogers Hornsby

The Times and P-Ihave done all they can–and then some–in dragging out the reporting of the GM and Manager searches.
The Rule 5 draft is only a couple of weeks away; then there are some Free Agent acquisitions (or speculations about potential acquisitions). Then there are trades (or speculations about potential trades).
With more dragging-out by our ink-stained wretches, it looks like we might get to Spring Training without a lot of staring out the window.

does speculation about the coaches by Larry Stone count as off-season fun?

Josh Wilker's Cardboard Gods has to be one of the best baseball card blogs. It is not your usual baseball card blog, it's a must read though. vr, Xei
