I kind of fell in love with the repeatable Draft Conquest map. I've done it a LOT!
One problem, if you want to call it that is almost every game, one of my batters gets plunked! One time it was for consecutive batters!
Can we please have the ability to at least charge the mound? In Triple Play, I think it was the triangle button.
Add that to DD next year!

What an accomplishment. I used to love having those days when created self was still allowed in DD.

I remember this Ozzy solo song!!!, but forgot the title. Jim Florentine just played it on his Sirius/XM metal show!
I remember this video also.
So surreal now!!!!!

@TheGoaler_PSN

Gaoler rhymes with jailor and I believe we’re getting a #7 John Force.

He drives fast straight like a fastball. Not all circular.

Huh???
Dang.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste 🤪

They would have to get the rights to use Bristol, my favorite NASCAR track. You haven't lived until you race there, even in a videogame. It's nuts there!

@beanball0571_PSN Can't wait for that Metal Gear Solid. The series is a top 5 all time for me.

'3' was probably the best in the series!
I got the 'Plat' for that and "MGS V: The Phantom Pain." Getting 'S' rank on all missions was a mutha!

Still playing HUT in NHL, and am about to finish the 'Battle For Brooklyn' DLC in The Division 2, since I was born & grew up there!

@TheGoaler_PSN I know Glenn personally GREAT BAND! Glenn should be on tour here in the USA in April dont miss it! His new album comes out 1st week of Sept. If you are in NY (i think i saw you post that) i MAY be able to have you meet the man

I would love to meet Glenn.
BCC is incredible, and I hope to see them 'live.' Yes, I'm here in NYC.

@xsdert34_PSN said in Best Card Right Now in the Show?:

Ironically, I was better with the "Gold All-Star" St. Louis Cardinal Beltran than the "Signature Series" New York Met Beltran.

I was awful with that Gold Beltran and was afraid it would be the same with the Mets version. Nope! Thank goodness. That card wrecks ish!

@rageincage007_XBL said in Best Card Right Now in the Show?:

I wish I could get to Beltran. 17 days of playing time logged, thousands of packs opened and still don't Ohtani or Judge.

When you do, and you will, your eyes will fall out, lol.
Obscene card. Had him for about 2 weeks now.

Can't believe i found this. Wow. Someone on the 'Ozzy's Boneyard' channel on Sirius/XM mentioned this. I said: 'what???'
Googled it, and it's real. Mind blown!

I mean, I could go on, but have to add that they weren't evil. They sung about evil, as in heroin addiction in 'Hand of doom,' etc. Just an amazing group of musicians. I appreciate them so much.

Hard to say they were evil when they had lyrics like, "could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say if they knew you believed in God above? They should realize before they criticize that God is the only way to love." After Forever on Paranoid. Geezer Butler, besides being one of the greatest bass players in history, was also a world class lyricist.

People who say that Ozzie or Sabbath were evil never actually listened to the music. A Satan worshipper wouldn't say, "God bless you all" at the end of every concert.

Ha ha. Great point.!
Biohazard did a cover of 'After forever' for that 'Nativity in black' Sabbath tribute album.

Let me just add a couple of deeper Ozzy & Sabbath tracks just because.....
'Steal away the night' 'Road to nowhere' 'Time after time' solo.
'The Writ,' which is about a bad contract with a record company or something & has a groove in the middle that is, well....unreal!! 'Snowblind' & 'Symptom of the universe' by Sabbath that starts out harder than hard, then mellows out unbelievably! Check them when you can.

@ralph13m_PSN said in RIP, Ozzy Osbourne:

@TheGoaler_PSN RIP Ozzy. He & Sabbath are at the top of my list for all time favorite bands. A few years ago, my daughter bought me tickets for Father's Day to see Sabbath here in Albuquerque. Front row center. Since she knew how much I love them. One of the greatest concerts I've ever been to. She even caught one of Tony Iommi's picks that he threw out to the crowd. The only thing that was missing was Bill Ward behind the drums. Even though the drummer they had was pretty d-a-m-n good.

As far as songs besides the usual that everyone knows, A National Acrobat on the Sabbath (B)loody Sabbath album and Into the Void on Paranoid and Supernaut on Vol IV are my favorite Sabbath songs. Fun fact, Jeff Beck said the riff on Supernaut is his favorite of all time. It was also a favorite song of Frank Zappa and John Bonham. And his duet with Lita Ford on Close My Eyes Forever is amazing. With added benefit of seeing Lita Ford being the smoke show that she is in the video.

The world will miss you, Ozzie. You were one of a kind. Let me see your hands! I love you all!

You got me with that last paragraph!!

I've been fortunate to be a fan of Eddie Trunk and his rock shows since 1999. He's a master of the deep track, and i've discovered some incredible stuff over the years, thanks to him. From Saxon, to UFO, to Y & T, and more recently 'BCC - Black Country Communion.' If you've never heard of them, PLEASE check them out. Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham & Derek Sherinian. Thank me later. They have 5 stellar albums with their 4th maybe being their 'Led Zeppelin 4.'
I always knew the Ozzy & Sabbath 'hits' like 'Iron Man' 'Paranoid,' 'Crazy Train,' 'Bark at the moon,' etc. Listening to Ed, I got to hear deeper, incredible stuff like 'Hand of doom,' 'Lord of this world,' solo 'S.A.T.O.,' 'Believer,' and 'The road to nowhere.' Like you mentioned, 'A national acrobat' is great! I also love that groove at about 1:05 in 'The thrill of it all,' that could easily be sampled in hip-hop! And we're not even including Dio-era Sabbath!!
I mean, I could go on, but have to add that they weren't evil. They sung about evil, as in heroin addiction in 'Hand of doom,' etc. Just an amazing group of musicians. I appreciate them so much.

I just heard the news. I cant say its unexpected, but at least he got to feel the love from fans and fellow musicians at that tribute concert.
I love all music, but rock is my favorite. Ozzy was much bigger than one form of music. His solo career was amazing. I found out recently that he never wrote any of his solo stuff!! That's incredible. I'm listening to 'See you on the other side,' rn on Q-1043 here in NY. That hits so much harder now.
Van Halen is my all-time favorite band, but there is no rocker that I cared about more than Ozzy, so this really hurts. He will live on through the amazing Black Sabbath stuff, and I don't mean the obvious songs everyone knows by them, and on through the amazing solo songs. Most people heard of him through the reality TV show, but we knew of his humor and greatness through the timeless music he was a part of.
Rest well, king. I love you like crazy. Not a train, though!

@TheGoaler_PSN said in What are the best stub making methods?:

I've heard Equipment is a good method.

By equipment do you mean flipping equipmenton the marketplace?

Yes. I've done it a few times.
Some of the 'Buy Now' and 'Sell Now' margins are very good rn.

Isn't it about the time we get one of these?
Also, what about the Extreme Program? On the horizon?

That 'Yerminator' gold Topps Now from a couple of years ago was fun. So was the '42' series Nico Goodrum. That card was god-like!

@LQR_NSW said in What are the best stub making methods?:

Does anyone know any other stub making methods?

I've heard Equipment is a good method.

For that draft CQ map, i pulled a Tyler Bremner, #2 pick 44k card, but need it for the collection. You can get lucky.

@wth08ovie_PSN said in Daily login player (diamond):

I just got mookie betts as one of my 2 daily login cards. Too bad it wasn’t months ago

That's probably why you pulled him now. It is known that his price is down drastically.
