As the resident Pearl Jam fanboy, I'll mention No Code.

Phillies just turned a 5-4-3 triple play on the Reds. I believe this is the 1st triple play I've seen (either in person or on TV).

Reds win. Fuck Gordon. Make Myers the closer.

Great, Gordon has now loaded the bases in the 10th w/ 1 out. Let's see how this goes.

Phils 1-hit the Reds, only to have Scott Hatteberg tie up the game at 1-1 w/ a 2-out HR off Gordon in the bottom of the 9th.

Yikes! Dusty during the beginning of the 8/10/85 NWA show, talking about Tully/the Andersons breaking Sam Houston's arm : "Like a couple of wetbacks crossin' the Rio Grande..."

If they're going to put Myers in the 'pen, they might as well go all out & make him the closer. Does anybody really trust Gordon any more?

Someone on the writing staff must've been watching some Aqua Teen Hunger Force recently.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/kingbookerout Not having Book on TV every week is going to suck, but at lease he went out w/ an awesome match w/ Matt Hardy. Does he come back w/out the King gimmick? I'd like to see a face run without dumping the gimmick, but I'm not holding my breath.

Also, some more spoilers blatantly stolen from the DVDVR thread:

So, the "head monk" in last night's episode had a picture of himself & the woman from the ring store from Desmond's other flashback episode.

Next week's previews said 4 episodes left, which really doesn't jive w/ the upcoming flashbacks list.

That's what people said last year (and the year before that). Then they miss the playoffs by a handful of games, and suddenly those early losses don't seem so unimportant. EDIT: suddenly, my avatar seems relevant to my Phillies fandom.

"You need me to make you a mix tape?" And, HOLY CRAP, Kate. I may have to go back and watch that scene again.

It'd be interesting to see an updated "viewers added/lost" breakdown for Raw. The last one showed Cena's segments adding HUGE numbers of viewers, but that was a while ago (at least it's been a while since someone posted them on this board).

Or Kendrick, for that matter? That spot looked all kinds of fucked up. They were too close to the ropes to hit that move correctly, as Kendrick didn't have enough room to rotate over on the move (otherwise he would've ended up hitting the ropes or landing outside the ring).

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed (Meltzer?) that they were NOT supposed to win that match.

I don't know, hosting the capital of the Confederacy is fairly Southern. Just a tad. Well, sure...142 years ago. In today's USA, I'm not so sure. I consider "the South" to be: NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, TN, AR, LA, KY. I bestow "honorary South" notoriety on WV, as well.

Virginia is more mid-Atlantic than it it southern. In my book, anyway.

"I'll take the case!" - Capcom to develop Harvey Birdman game. Described as "having a court room setting, like Phoenix Wright." EDIT - oh, it's already been mentioned in the PW thread. My bad!

Y'know what? Cena's going to be boo'd next week in England, too. So what? Is it hurting business? Nope. People need to stop running around like Chicken Little. "Cena's getting boo'd! Job the belt off him!"

C'mon, he was making "logical extrapolations".

Cena got his ass kicked all match, and only won because Edge speared Orton, HBK superkicked Edge, and then caught HBK w/ a surprise flash FU. How did that bury those 3?

Hey, when did Edge get those new tattoos?

I've got Calvin from the 1st panel of this strip on my left shoulder blade.
