Customer Review: solid game, awesome graphics
MLB 2K7 for Xbox is solid. the graphics are awesome! you really see the true Atlanta Braves colors in this game. the gameplay is easy and smooth and the rosters are easier to mess with because you only have the MLB and Triple A rosters to play with. in MVP 2005, which i still play, you make one roster move, and then you've got to make 10 more just to fit the bill. Pros -custom music, including batter intro music -awesome detailed graphics -rich in colors and design -different weather modes, cold, cloudy, afternoon -easy and smooth gameplay -commentary from ESPN -old school pitching and hitting modes Cons -sometimes, the game can seem to computerized and at times, it seems slow -pitching is slow -although graphics are awesome, MVP had better face and player graphics compare the 2, and you'll know what i mean. overall, solid game. lots of fun. More for hardcore baseball gamers.

My kids had 2k5 and loved it, so I bought 2k7 and they're in heaven.


How many games will Joe Torre win for the Boys in Blue that they'd blow, otherwise?

The impact of a manager on the final, year-end standings is one of the most intangible issues in all of baseball. After all, a manager doesn't hit, field, or run the bases. All he does is inspire and direct.

Joe Torre decided to let Joba Chamberlain keep pitching without calling a time out, in a crucial, 2007 post-season game against Cleveland. In a scene that looked biblical, Chamberlain was besieged by a swarm of flying pests. Hopelessly distracted, he blew the lead and the Yanks lost the game and their bid for a title.

Jones, as you know, is a perennial Gold Glove outfielder, and though his home run production was relatively low last season for Atlanta, it would have put him at the top of the Dodger charts.

Flies, notwithstanding.

The Dodgers are hoping Torre's stewardship will put them three or four games to the upside, come late September.

Torre was the respected Manager of the New York Yankees, but he didn't bring home the biggest prize often enough: World Series titles. So, facing a cut in pay, he left the Yanks and was rather quickly embraced by the dismal Dodgers.

Make a different decision, and who knows, just maybe the Yanks would have been Sox-slayers and have become world champions, once more.

But the big question remains:

Dr. Gary S. Goodman is a top trainer, conference and convention speaker, sales, customer service, and negotiation consultant, and attorney. A frequent expert commentator on radio and TV, he is also the best-selling author of 12 books, more than 1,000 articles and several popular audio and video programs. His seminars are sponsored internationally and he teaches at more than 40 university extension programs, including UC Berkeley and UCLA. Gary's sales, management and consulting experience is combined with impressive academic credentials: A Ph.D. from USC, an MBA from the Peter F. Drucker School of Management, and a J.D. degree from Loyola Law School, his clients include several Fortune 1000 companies.

Torre has enlisted some of his former Yankee coaches, so the Dodgers have a good clubhouse staff, no doubt about it. And his signing encouraged veteran Jeff Kent to play at least one more season before retiring.

And will he secure enough victories to get them back into the postseason, either as the winners of the Western Division or as the Wild Card representatives in the National League?

But that is often enough to make a critical difference in a game.

The biggest acquisition of the off-season so far for the Los Angeles Dodgers hasn't been Andruw Jones, impressive as he could turn out to be.

The biggest find of the off-season is incoming Manager Joe Torre, who may end up being the greatest bargain, as well.
