Styles

This is gonna be a fun one.

Albert Belle.

The Rumor was OF Nick Markakis, but I sure hope not from an Os fan standpoint. If they give up Markakis instead of waiting until Nov 15th (when Mazzone's contract expires and Atlanta would get nothing), then they are fools. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is not going to happen. It's an Atlanta pipedream. Of all the things to sayabout Peter Angelos, he is a damn good lawyer and a stickler for details. The compensation agreement would have to have been worked out before The Braves gave Baltimore permission to talk with Mazzone. There's no way Angelos would ever allow them to take away his Golden Greek, Markakis. Even if such a situation was fathomable, Perlozzo could have reached a verbal agreement with Mazzone like in the NBA and waited until the moritorium date ends to officially sign him. Being that they've locked him up before then, I can guarentee there was no such snag. Maybe we can give the Braves a taste of their own medicine and send them "top pitching prospect" Luis Rivera! (O's fans will get that one and Braves fans maybe too).

White Sox in 5.

To be fair, Ray Miller is one of the top pitching coaches in baseball, and came out of retirement 2 seasons ago to help our young staff and lowered their ERA by over a run. He's coming off pretty major surgery though and his family wants him to retire for good already, but yeah Mazzone is in a class of his own. When the rumors at the Orioles boards started rumbling at the end of the season that bringing back Perlozzo would mean Mazzone, many of us were skeptical but I guess friendship really does outdue money.

At the grocery store they sell Rockstar and Full Throttle (by Coke) which are 16 oz drinks for the same price (2 bucks) as the 8 ounce Red Bull or Mountain Due. So I usually go with one of those. But, I recently bought a case of Red Bull at Costco since that was the only one they had, so I'm stocked with those.

Yup.

Eh, whatever I actually managed to find 5 pitchers off my god awful team I wouldn't mind keeping.

I don't mind the elevated keepers so much since it allows you to build, but by the same token, I'm not a fan of the 5 hitters/5 pitchers rule. I was heavy on hitting and planned to blow up the pitching and start again. Oh well, I'll play by the rules but consider that a petition for change.

If you watched UFC 55 as your first show and enjoyed it, you'll be a BIG UFC fan because that show was probably the worst PPV they've had in years. Seek out any of the recent events in stores and you'll be getting some great stuff.

Yes, except you forgot Coach, who I hear is young and handsome and enchanses our enjoyment.

He's not signed a contract yet. They've contacted him with the offer and he's verbally committed but he still has to sign. The latest rumors are Goldberg is having second thoughts though.

If you remotely liked/are interested in Warrior, yes buy it. It's quite funny in several spots especially the montage of Warrior interviews, the discussion on Parts Unknown and the political way they explained his departures. If you have no interest or liking of the Warrior, you can skip it.

No. Meltzer did a huge story about the DVD and Warrior's career in general and while he said the DVD was actually mostly fair that was a manipulated image where WWE got careless. Someone produced the same program with WWF Champion Shawn Michaels vs. Vader as the top match with an identical undercard, so it was edited because they couldn't find a program with Warrior listed on the card from that time period and needed something to illustrate and were too careless to edit out the "WWF Champion" part. That's all it is.

that's the best part <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree completely. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here, here! Good riddance to the most obnoxious fans in baseball. (don't get too comfortable Yankee fans, you guys are a close 2nd, and I wish you nothing but a speedy elimination too).

I was giggling manically the entire time. I love it! Regards to "Idiot Nation". One down, one to go. Let's go Angels!

Frank Shamrock should be the new RAW announcer.

LOL, did he report it in the 3rd person like that? I wonder who his source is for the 3rd item? But, seriously, Styles calling MMA? Isn't he under WWE contract? Things are just getting weird now.

Poor JR.

Poor JR.

?

What chances Stephan Quadros gets the job? I've read there's bad blood between him and Joe Rogan. Anyone have any details?

wwe.com down for anybody else?

I asked Wade Keller about it, he had this to say: You sure he wasn't doing the hockey and UFC at the same time, RRR?

If the Mike Goldberg rumor is true that would be HUGE and the first "jump" of the new War. Goldberg has been the voice of the UFC for as long as I can remember, does he have any experience in pro wrestling? Will UFC hire Stephan Quadros to replace him? This might get very interesting.
