Nice string of SO's for Nate while runners were on 3rd and 2nd. Let's score some more runs, Tigers!

I happened to flip over to Spike for a bit and it just happened to be the beginning of the Ortiz/Shamrock fight. Not to be one of those poster-types I hate (the ones that go into the WWE forum just to say "why do people watch WWE"), but I'm still lost on what the big deal about all that was. To each their own, I guess. The important thing is it's currently 5-0 for Detroit.

Well in fairness, I believe Show jobbed to Hardy (by count-out, I think) about 4 years ago around this time on Raw. I was just thinking about that while watching the SmackDown 2002 Halloween special on 24/7 before Raw last night - they were pushing Show as a monster on SmackDown! who Lesnar couldn't beat, yet people on Raw had been beating him for awhile.

Virgil and the Million Dollar Man. I guess Virgil went broke by 1996?

I could be remembering this wrong, but it seems to me this did come up (although without much detail - just HHH not liking Austin when McMahon came up with the idea). I think the idea was to turn HHH face when they broke up after KOTR, but HHH got injured in May. However, yes, it was an odd team up.

Typical fantasy board response to that kind of match ending with no announcement is a no contest - no win points for Cena, no DQ points for Undertaker.

I got burned by no Carlito appearances (that money could have easily picked me someone who appeared on Raw AND may be on SmackDown) but otherwise I think I'll do ok this wek. You guys that didn't pick all 6 women doing the strip poker... why? I forget the total but it adds up to such a low dollar amount for 6 people, and they all get specialty match + match + multiple appearance points.

Check WXYZ (Detroit ABC) if you get it, big party going on outside. Looks awesome. WDIV (NBC) too, it looks like.

Heh, "they won 95 and I lost 67".

Now that's a post-win interview.

If you're, say, the Yankees, that would be the way to look at a win like this. This, however, is a team that lost 119 games in 2003. This IS big.

Rogers pouring the champagne on the officer was great.

Great times. Bondermania!

Nice catch!

Thank God Sheffield is up.

3 outs to go.

Damn, hoping for a 3 pitch SO. That was prety close for A-Rod.

I would like to see a few more insurance runs this inning.

I have never heard the Detroit River called the "Windsor River" before, but I'll take it.

That's a shame (losing the no hitter). I'm really glad I was able to get home from work around 4:30 to watch this game. As someone who more or less stopped watching baseball by 1995 after following it a great deal as a child (I still followed the standings and went to games with people, but I didn't spend time watching it on TV to see the Tigers lose) I'm really happy to see people excited about baseball in the area. A friend of mine got me back into the game big time recently, so it's been a great season to be a Tiger's fan. It's also funny that early in what I remember being the 2004 season, a friend and I went to Comerica Park and saw Bonderman start a game the Tiger's badly lost. This turnaround is great.

I'm stuck watching this on MLB.com Gameday at work (and not even enhanced Gameday - stupid old work computers), but man am I enjoying this game.

I'm beginning to think this show is not airing. They are taping a show Monday and a show Tuesday - are they really putting 3 shows in a can before one even airs (technically, taping the 3rd while tape 1 airs)? The Fantasy page also lists the show on the 10th as being taped on the 9th. I guess we will find out. Edit: "No taping on Monday. Originally planned, but they added the taping this past Monday and canceled taping in Columbia" - Meltz.

I haven't even received this weeks yet. That pretty much solidifed me not renewing for a 3rd time. The hot news buzz is usually all here by the time I even get to read mine.

In theory. I e-mailed the Fantasy Board to ask why they are allowing this, then e-mailed Meltzer asking what the hell is going on with the taping schedule (due to the Fantasy listing of the 10/10 ECW show being taped on 10/9). Edit: From Meltzer - "No taping on Monday. Originally planned, but they added the taping this past Monday and canceled taping in Columbia" So, the Fantasy schedule is messed up and using old information.

The ECW thing is confusing. It was once said there would an ECW taping after the 3 hour Raw and an ECW taping the night after to air the next week (I thought) because of the supershow. They now have one show in the can, taped Tuesday night. They are apparently taping another Monday, and ANOTHER Tuesday. This is all very strange. Kelly said on WWE.com that it was happening in her hometown of Jacksonville, which is where the taping they are doing this Tuesday is. The Fantasy schedule has the October 10th ECW show as being of Columbia, SC, which is where Raw is on Monday. Either the Fantasy board (and by proxy, WWE.com) are confused about the ECW airdates vs tape dates - and I don't blame them because I am now as well - or what they taped on Tuesday was filler for the crowd, never meant to air. . And no, matches where the loser leaves Raw / is fired / whatever do not count as specialty. Baiscally, unusual stipulations that occur based on who wins or loses a match (or who was the ref during a match, since that question comes up too) while a match is found under standard rules cause it to be scored as a standard match.
