The halo 2 maps are now out and in the playlists. i think the maps have come at a perfect time and add a little something new to halo. with 4 new maps.....it provides a little variety. i really like the addition of of 2vs2. the rankings of all players were wiped clean and everybody started off fresh without the worries of cheating. right now i'm a 13 after 2 days. rumble pit i've been tearing it up. i've won 3 of 4 rumble pit matches.

MVP has been awesome! i finished my regular season. zito got CY young with harden a few spots behind him. chavez and zito were 8 and 9 in MVP race. kotsay, jaco and chavez won gold gloves. durazo and chavez got silver slugger awards, dotel got rolaids relief pitcher of the year. my playoff adventure started and ended quick. i was swept by boston in 3 games in the first series. spring training is over and a few players really got better. harden got a lot better....consistently throwing 98-100. but thats what he does in real life so its not a big deal. rusty heredia started in A worked up through AAA and now i have him on my MLB team got way better. his poer against RHP is 85. its suprising but true....but for some reason i cant seem to hit very well with him. with all of my starters improving at least a little.....i figured it was ok to trade schmidt and i did it for tejada. kotsay and jaco were locks in the outfield and since heredia got so much better i figure i would give him a chance ot play. so i did get ichiro for that reason. now my IF has chavez, tejada, crosby, and durazo, kendall. pretty good IF and hopefully better defensively. crosby got wayyyy better defensively, his throwing strenght is just as good as tejada and his acuracy is better by 10. but his fielding rating and range are lower. so right now i have crosby at 2B and tejada at SS. i might switch them up from time to time to see how they play but right now it makes for a sweet double play.

i'm starting god of war again but i'm not happy about it. i just dont want to miss out on one of the best PS2 games because of this.

i'm playing mecury on my psp and i'm currently about 43% done with the game. the levels are getting pretty tough and this game really requires a lot of patience. my next 2 games will most likely be lumines and smartbomb in that order. i just read on the psp union that the 1GB memory stick for the psp is going for 105.00 on amazon.com. thats a super good deal.
