It's October and many of you are still reeling from late-season collapses (hey Mets!) or more recent ones (was it the curse?). But a few of us have waited fifteen years to feel this high heading into the league championship series (and happily distracted from the Eagles' sinking record), and what better way to align our collective karma than to play a game of stickball? No, no, not
actual stickball (by all means, stay seated), but 2K Sports new Xbox Live Arcade game-cum-reliable-prediction-simulator
MLB Stickball (800
/ $10), featuring 120 players from all 30 teams.
So head out to the back-alley ballpark, Dodgers vs. Phillies, and see to it the
right team wins. Seriously people: Don't. Jinx.
Anything!Update: Two additional games
coming this Wednesday!

The streak of games to want had to end at some point

Yeah but you've got to love the big headed cuteness as Hector's pitch might get "sent tru da winda" by Vinnie.
Or not...

I like it better with motion controllers...

This has some potential for people like me who loved the incredibly simple baseball games like RBI Baseball and can't stand how complex the games are today.
That said, where the f is the XBLA RBI Baseball remake?

If by "right team" you mean the Phillies, then I concur.
Anthony @ Oct 6th 2008 4:58PM
LETS GO PHILLIES!!!

After what the Cubs did this and last season...I can't handle baseball until the spring.

Wow, this looks like a Wii game, are you sure it's XBLA??
bm @ Oct 6th 2008 6:26PM
Haha, I was just about to say, if this was on Wii, everyone (especially JRW) would be shitting themselves from bitching so hard right now.

Go Phillies! (I'm gonna go ignore my Eagles woes by playing Mega Man 9 until my thumbs bleed).

Don't remind this sour Cubs fan what he just witnessed last week. At least I can take solace in the White Sox losing today.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Didn't you hear? Saying "Don't. Jinx. Anything!" Could in fact cause a jinx! Uh oh...Better re-do your rituals four more times.

I loved 2K Sports "The BIGS", I would give this a download and if its good I'd get it.
But. They should have just updated the rosters to The BIGS, I still play that game.
