Welcome to garcemac.com

So I’m playing MLB 09 The Show, my first baseman is at bat against the Houston Astros. Houston’s pitcher, who’s name I neither recall nor care to look up – is tossing a crapload of lazy 80mph sliders all game. Basically the most annoying pitch ever, next to the knuckleball. Anyway, I finally broke down and swung at a slow-motion slider that I knew was coming and hit a deep double to centre field. Good enough, but I knew the next batter would invariably strike out.

Surprise, he didn’t. Nope, he drove a single over second base and I head off to third. As I approach the base, my third base is frantically calling for me to stop. Okie dokey, Mr. Coach, I’ll stop at third. But there’s a problem. My guy doesn’t stop, he continues to run home. WTF? I move my left stick trying to get him to stop, go back to third, ANYTHING, but noooo he just continues to run into the waiting catcher. Out!

What a load of crap.
