Bruiser Chong

Is that supposed to be a legit fight near the end? I hope not; it looks awful.

The Yost firing seems like a last-ditch effort to win the wild card. Melvin put a lot at stake to set the Brewers to win now and I don't think it was going to happen with Yost. It might be too little, too late, but we'll see how much of this was Yost's fault. They're still tied for the WC and have two weeks with which to prove their downfall was largely his fault. And the only way I'm listening to any of this Houston nonsense is if they wind up missing the WC by two or fewer games. That they wore their road uniforms to make a statement shows they were more wrapped up in that than actually going out there and winning the game. This whole thing is something I would've expected from a Dusty Baker-led squad.

I can't believe all the whining going on about playing these two games in Milwaukee. Richard Justice is convinced that this of all things is what's going to keep Houston out of the playoffs.

Carlos Perez is probably the worst offender on this matter. That son of a bitch damn near broke into celebration after every strikeout.

Shane McMahon's one of the wedding guests, too. Catch him after Jake shows up.

Only Czech would frown upon a Cubs no-hitter.

YES! I'm shaking. That was amazing.

By all accounts, Z's command tonight is impeccable. Even when he's missing, he's just missing. Here we go.

As a Cubs fan, I'd say no. But otherwise, Doug Melvin's a damn fool not to get rid of Yost. The blame can fall only on him, but talking with knowledgeable Brewers fans (yes, there actually are some) who have a chance to watch this team every day, they're able to point to several things that back up the notion that Yost is a big part of the problem. He was quick to yank his starters last year, resulting in an taxed bullpen. He's gone the other way this season, leaving his starters in until they're absolutely gassed. There's the insistence on making Gagne the eighth inning guy, despite all indications that he is toast. The Brewers pretty much bet their bankroll on making it to the World Series this year. It's unlikely they re-sign Sheets, especially after an uncannily healthy year. It was the worst kept secret in baseball that CC was a three-month rental. That means even if there's an improvement in the young position players, the Brewers still have to deal with not having their 1-2 punch. Yes, there's Gallardo, but imagine the type of improvement that'll be necessary to compensate for the departure of Sheets and Sabathia. I think the team's still going to be a force in the NL Central in the coming years, but things aren't looking quite as rosy now. Their gamble to let it ride on this year looks like it might not even result in a playoff berth. Speaking of Milwaukee, the Cubs drove that bastard Randy Wolf out of the game before the end of the third frame and are sporting a 5-0 lead early on. Hopefully this signifies the Cubs are over whatever the hell the last two weeks were.

At this point, Brewers fans might be best off cheering for the Cubs. They've got a wild card lead that's looking slimmer by the game and the Astros are one of those teams in pursuit.

That's the best part about it, to me. I've had no trouble finding flavorful condiments, but they're usually packed with sodium. This stuff is low sodium, virtually no calories and the ingredients are things you can pronounce. Coincidentally, I'm heading out to a party in a little bit, needed some food, but nothing that's going to bloat me up. So I threw the remainders of a bag of deli turkey onto a plate, added a dab of low-fat mayo and a nice blotch of Sriracha. Good eating.

Yes, yes, oh god yes. I was too lazy to go to the fridge last night and check. And Matt, that's not all one meal. That's spread out through the day, though reading the post again, I can see how that would be misunderstood. I'm generally eating meals between 300 and 400 calories six or seven times a day. Though tonight involved some pizza. And tomorrow we're tailgating at seven in the morning for the first and last time this season, so I expect the day to be filled with all sorts of bad nutritional choices.

The sugar part, much like most low fat desserts, totally negate any perceived health value caused my absence of fat.

It looks like the type of footage you'd see if you watch a PAL tape. I saw this when it originally aired and have watched the video many times since; it looked normal. I don't know what's going on here. Nailz is one of the worst wrestlers/promos the WWF had in the early '90s. Holy hell.

I woke up late this morning, so I didn't get a shot at making a good breakfast like I've been doing since getting up early once again became part of my life. Subsequently, I had: - Grilled chicken fajita w/ avocado, dab of fat-free sour cream, yellow pepper, chili sauce (can't remember the brand, but you'll find it in the international food aisle and damn, is it amazing) - Turkey sandwich on whole wheat w/ aforementioned chili sauce, tomato, and honey mustard - Chili w/ extra lean ground beef, chopped garlic and onion, orange, red, and yellow peppers, various spices - Almond shake (six ounces of Calorie Countdown milk, 10 almonds, two scoops chocolate whey protein, Splenda, tablespoon Ovaltine, lots of ice cubes) The ice in the shake makes the consistency more like an actual milkshake. I need to ditch the Ovaltine and find something else, though, because I hate Ovaltine.

I'll post mine as soon as I: 1) get new batteries for my camera 2) get rid of any leftover produce that's gone bad so you people don't think I live like an animal I can't believe I'm about to spruce up my shitty fridge for you people.

I don't generally eat Taco Bell unless drinking has been on the evening's agenda. Last Saturday was one such occasion when I wound up with one of those double beef cheesy burrito things off their value menu. The booze probably played a role in it, but what a delicious six minutes that was. It was so good I wound up getting one the next night. Not nearly as good. Pretty awful, actually.

It's a shame the Jays don't play in the AL Central. They'd be right in the race. As it is, they're probably going to need to settle on third place in the AL East. I can't believe Houston, either. I'd talk about how impressive this run has been if I didn't hate them so much.

Derrek Lee's such a sad excuse for a third hitter this year. If he's not grounding into a double-play, he's striking out with RISP. Lou needs to capitalize on DeRosa's career year and give him a shot in the third slot for a while. And Soriano, to the surprise of no one, is so baseball retarded.

Man, fuck the Astros. As if they weren't annoying enough as it were, they're now getting all difficult about possibly playing the weekend series with the Cubs at a neutral site. God forbid they not get to play 81 games in that glorified amusement park.

Really? I mean, yes, he's helped, but I think the Dodgers are only four games over .500 since he joined them. Obviously he's helped them in achieving their goal of winning the West this year (if that pans out), but I don't know if that means you want to get tied up in yet another big, risky contract.

Wood almost blew another save. He didn't really need to be in there, as Lilly had given up one run through eight innings and only thrown 90 pitches. Win's a win, even if the Cubs again decided to do all their scoring in one inning and leave men on base the rest of the game.

What a slice of childhood for me. My mom started taping PTW for me right before Summerslam that year, so this was one of the first episodes I remember seeing. I must've worn out the part of the tape with Heenan's intro. Comedic gold. It reminded me of Lawler insulting everyone as he walked down to the ring with the microphone in hand.

You know things are going poorly when fans are demanding more playing time for the Ray Durhams and Mike Lambs of the world.

Didn't the Dodgers just come off an eight-game winning streak?
