The Czech Republic

Time to break out one of my catchphrases that I haven't used in a long time: This show is so bad, not even La Parka can save us now.

Can you feel me near you?

Kane is guarded, while RVD is elevated

They should have somebody on Raw give the fans periodic updates on the game.

okay thanks. I'vebene watching the Red Sox. it's tied 1-1

Have I missed much?

not me

The big deal is No Ads At Wrigley.

Kane and Shane should have a match where the loser has to become the other guy's butler. Trust me. It'll work. Also: Shane McMahon should wear a Dany Heatley Thrashers sweater.

If so they don't do it for Cubs games.

Another gripe about FOX: they put up that green screen behind home plate at Wrigley Field and break the sanctity of the ballpark, which is very minimalistic with its ads, at about two compared to the countless barrage at other parks. WGN and ESPN don't do this...just FOX.

FOX Announcer: "That's when you start getting concerned about hitting a five-run homer." Also, I think I just heard Motorhead...HHH is holding down the Marlins?

It's "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" by Van Halen. I'm fucking stupid.

The Van Terminator isn't really his "finishing" move. Besides, he's not the only one to use a Frog Splash. I agree mostly, but not on those grounds. It's disrespectful to use a move RVD created and is credited for. It's even more disrespectful that they attempt to give it a unique name. I've always considered the Van Terminator to be RVD's Beyond Finisher. You know how on Power Rangers, there was MegaZord and Dragonzord, and then MegaDragonZord, but if that wasn't enough they'd pull out UltraZord and you just KNEW that was it? And how Vader had the power bomb, and thne the Vader Bomb, but then he'd pull out the moonsault to really nail the coffin shut? Well, it's Rolling Thunder-->***** Frog Splash or Van Daminator-->Van Terminator

Ottawa Senators d. New Jersey Devils in Game 6. Anaheim Mighty Ducks d. Detroit Red Wings in Game 4. 5OT game between Anaheim and Dallas. The Vancouver-Minnesota series.

On the note of Cubs fans not being complete idiots, FOX continued its streak of quality broadcasting by saying that Cubs fans aren't belligerent like Yankees and Sox fans because they're "simpler people in the Midwest, so teams really enjoy going there, St. Louis too." So now East Coast Bias has spread to stereotyping entire regions of the nation as being inferior low-functioning humans? I wouldn't characterize Chicago as a simple and docile place with hearty cow-oriented Midwestern folk...it's a major American metropolis. Simpler people my ass. Well at least the Phillies didn't get the wild card or the FOX idiots would be going on all "Golly, these Philadelphia fans! They booed Santa Claus! They're just wacky and zany! Why, they booed Santa Claus! The Vet is a dump! Can you believe they booed Santa Claus?"

Is this an NHB first in which a thread is requested to be not taken TO, but FROM No Holds Barred?

Banky was right: this thread got no-sold. I don't want to sound bitchy or anything, but how many of you guys in here are musicians that have played alongside a living legend of your instrument? Even if he's not what he was 30 years ago, it's still an experience I will share with as many people as I can. Someday I hope to tell my children, trumpet players of course, about that night, and to show them old record album covers that are years and years old, and say I played with that man.

Didn't he jack off to Keyshawn Johnson or something? What was that whole deal?

Wouldn't a chemical reaction in which two or more compounds react to form one compound be a synthesis?

What changed that allows wrestling in Oregon?

It will indeed be good, because the Cubs won their season series against the Yankees, I believe

Here's the bullpen in the 3rd inning...again.

I believe this is a reference to the contact and high risk of injury present in wrestling in comparison to ballet. I don't think it's fair that if you don't shake the hand of the injured Sergei, you'll get sent to the back line on stage and forced to work the Royal Winnipeg style. This ain't pro wrestling.

If Clement decides to not suck the CUbs will win.
