Every time I face the Astros and Craig Biggio gets a hit off me, the record thing comes up saying he's broken the record for most career hits. This happens every time he gets a hit.

It does that with Griffy after awhile with Hr's/RBIs because he breaks the record that the game has saved

actually, i suppose you could say, "it works as intended"

although annoying, he is breaking the record each time, although, it's his own record and Jack shouldn't be making a GINORMOUS deal out of each successive one....

Does it with Roger Clemons when he strikes someone out.

Unfourtenetly yes untill Randy comes and beats it. I played a season with the Yanks and in Clemens last game (in which he would have gotten Cy-young if he didn't get blown out three times in a row) Randy had gotten ahead of him. I quickly fixed that with a 15 strike-out game to end the season. He need 12 to tie him again. I let Clemens go the next season anyway because as good as he was he asked for too much money and I already was going to drown in debt again and barely make it up again with the world-series bonus.

Okay, I've heard this sooo many times and I've only played a little more than a month into 2008(2nd season). Get this, I played the Astros 14 times in April, that's half the games I played the whole month. So, I had to deal with Biggio breaking the record almost every time I played them, it got unbearable, I just turned the sound off and listened to some music. Oh yeah, Biggio got hit about 5 times for making me listen to Merluzzi talk about a new era beggining.

Jack: This is now the START, of a new era

(next at bat, biggio gets a hit)

Jack: This is now the START, of a new era

wait so is it a newer era than the era before?

Aparently to Jack Merluzzi it is

I hate Jack Merluzzi, he's so dramatic, and he says things weird. He'll be like "HOLLIDAY!.... Gets a base hit!" Ugh, so annoying.

That's why it comes in handy to love music, I just listen to music everytime I play(which has to be well over 300 games). I haven't listened to his commentary in decades, okay not really, but you know what I mean.

Yeah, I usually listen to a new episode, if I have one, of Cubscast (It's a Cubs podcast) every time I play a game and mute Jack.

It's basically a bad programming job in making decisions on what's a base hit, a line drive, a pop-up, etc...

If the darn Konami programmers wrote a better program to make comments a bit later in the play (like The Show does) then this wouldn't be much of an issue...

It'd just be "god, that idiot jack merluzzi needs to get off the caffeine and speed".

i hate Jack and how a success mode guy with HD First Slide ability can have their hands on the bag but be magically out

oh and how he repeats...

Jack (After J.D. Drew gets a hit): There's a base hit!
J: Drew... gets a base hit.
J: Drew... that's his first (second, etc.) hit of the day!
J: The red sox put their leadoff batter on base!

It's more like this: "The Red Sox.... PUT THEIR LEAD OFF BATTER ON BASE!"

Yeah, I mean it was a good idea to try to have him excited on some of them, but they have the excited voice in bad spots, as in non exciting plays.
