Yeah someone tell the Twin Cities fans that THEY ONLY WON THE SECOND ROUND! Not the NBA, not even the conference. Just second round. No confetti and storming the court. Geez

Should they really have fouled Cassell there? Hard to say that paid off.

edited for accuracy Hey wait, I thought we still weren't sure there's going to BE a 2004-05 season for NBC to televise...wouldn't that suck for them.

As a matter of fact I do, and it feels wonderful. I can't believe it took me so long to discover the joys of unsignatured posting.

It goes for hockey, with a goaltenders' duel. It doesn't go for football because it's just rows of men smashing into each other and grabbing teammates' asses. It doesn't have that same component of a winning and losing player the way baseball and hockey do. And we all know low-scoring basketball sucks.

I had this debate with people at school today, talking baseball. It started with soccer and hockey goaltenders and spread to pitchers. What constitutes a more interesting game: batters knocking balls out of the park left and right for nine innings, or watching two pitchers rack up Ks and other assorted outs until one error turns the course of the game? They say "Who wants to watch a 0-0 game? That's not exciting to watch, that means they suck." I say "Well a 6-6 game means the [pitchers/goalies] are playing like crap." We both have our merits to our arguments. I think I was more eloquent, but that's personal bias. But if you told me you could control the play of a Cubs-Astros game, and you asked me what I'd rather see, I'd have to say I'd get more enjoyment from Wood and Clemens dueling and the fielding not allowing runs for 8+ innings than Sosa, Alou, Ramirez and whoever's hitting well for Houston these days hitting out-of-the-park homers.

Bitter? I thought that CanadianChris would want Philly, beacuse they beat Toronto, who beat Ottawa, who he likes. Unless he doesn't like Philly because last year they pushed Ottawa to 6 which made them possibly lose to the Devils in 7. ahh my head

If John Tesh doesn't write the theme song, I'm not interested. But anyway, it'll be odd seeing it on NBC. They're probably thinking "Hey, can't be worse than the XFL." I hope they remain on ESPN though, as Brian Engblom and Darren Pang are good announcers. I like the Panger. I like that Stanley Cup national over-the-air coverage doesn't start until Game 3, that way the games that are shown to the entire audience will be more crucial and thus more exciting. On the other hand it does screw over the team with home ice in a way as the national audience will get more road games. Whatever. It's hard to tell.

Just check the avatar, man. All I'm sayin'. "Those loonies are gonna blow up the ocean!" "WE'LL BLOW UP THE OCEAN!"

I can't believe Clement and his chin beard lost at home to Tubby there. Couldn't they have distracted him with some tasty baked goods?

Don't make me get sentimental CWM. I too feel a weird sort of connection, camaraderie with my fellow TSMers. Though we're of different ages, countries, education levels, financial backgrounds, and so, we're all on the same page here. Mod powers notwithstanding, everybody's on the same level here, and I think that's really neat. ...I'm not a Communist. My condolences, MDH. I lost my grandfather five years ago and that really hit me hard. I can't imagine life without my two grandmothers who have always been at all my various events, and overall a very very integral part of my life.

I get compliments/ridicule for my size 15 feet

I had short periods of time in which I felt fatter than usual, but I think they were just transitory things that growth spurts helped to even out. Now I have really muscular legs but my arms are like twigs. Leg muscle doesn't impress the ladies, does it.

If Major League was made today, I think it would be about the Brewers and not the Indians.

Wrapping up senior year with my big jazz concert Thursday night, graduation soon after, and getting ready for college at Northern Illinois University where I will attempt to value my education for the first time ever. I mean, I'll kinda have to at this point, what with people being at a higher level, and actually ahving to pay for it and all. Whatever. I think I'll reach my potential at last.

NO

I think they need more offbeat references to 80s WWF like last night's Tito Santana. Maybe one time, Regal goes to Eugene's dressing room and he's rockin' out to old theme songs. Best choices: Beverly Brothers, Strike Force, or Demolition. Honorable mention: Slick (Jive Soul Bro)

I love those 80s-style wrestling jackets. I just assumed he embroidered his name on the back wrong. I'm surprised AS doesn't hate Eugene because of that unkept frizzy hair and beard. Some PROFESSIONAL wrestler he claims to be. How can he have ANY sense of pride?

Jericho's lookin' gay.

How could JR call that a spine upon the pine? That was clearly the canvas. You senile old booger.

The Special People's Elbow?

Screw The Coach...ha. Not THAT. Actually, Rocky brings up a valid point. "Raw vs. Smackdown Dodgeball Classic" should be held in August. Bowling-pin and basketball rules apply.

SWOIVE! IT WAS A SWOIVE!

I thought that was Rocky for a second then I look over and it's Eugene. haha
