Down on the Farm

Oh man, have you played MLB 07: The Show for PS3 yet? That game’s crazy sick. If you go and download the roster updates, you get to use Phil Hughes (they have his real windup), Mighty Matt DeSalvo, Chase Wright, Timmy Lincecum…all those guys who got called up earlier in the year. It’s frickin’ awesome. No Rocket though, he can’t be included in the game updates until he appears in an MLB game. I’ll post a more in-depth review tomorrow…

Low-A Charleston‘s game with Rome was suspended due to rain in the top of the 3rd. I assume they’ll pick it up tomorrow, and I’ll post the stats then. You aren’t missing much, except Garrett Patterson getting effed up.
