Yeah that was a bad loss since they were up 6-2 when they gave up two runs in the sixth, then two runs in the ninth to tie it, and four in the 12th. Anybody see Rolen's stats on the Sunday night game comparing his BA. HR's & RBI at home v. on the road? Time for another road trip! Honestly though I think it was just not taking the Expos seriously enough and not showing up ready to play after an off day.

Jaxl, I saw this the other day and thought about it, as my situation pretty much mirrors your scenario. My problem is that almost all the time I am hanging out with my friends there is drinking involved, so that does make it tough. My advice, which isn't fool proof, is to identify the days of the week you always drink, then see if you can drop one, and DO NOT drink on other days. Here's my week, usually. Sunday - Usually do not drink, may change during football season. Monday - I usually drink a fair amount while watching wrestling/MNF. Tuesday - Fricker's for wings & beer. This may happen every other week though. Wednesday - No real specials lots of people going out this day. Thursday - $ 1.99 36 ounce beers at Burrito Loco, so lots of beer is consumed. Friday - I try not to drink this night, since I do enough during the week. Saturday - Lock the women & children away! So if I usually drink Monday/Thursday/Saturday each week, I try to only do it one other day during the week, although it does not always work out so well.

I still say give Orton the title at the October PPV or Survivor Series. They can do the slow burn with Orton questioning why HHH gets the first title shot after Summerslam when he has only lost to Benoit once. I would assume once Orton wins the title he'll be turfed from Evolution, so if he gets the boot and is out of Evolution, how can they keep Orton and HHH away from each other for 8 months?

I don't know if this belongs here, but I do not know the seriousness yet, so I won't make my own thread. In the U.S. National Team's 96-71 victory over Puerto Rico, LeBron James, Allen Iverson and Amare Stoudemire all were suspended for this game for missing/showing up late for a team meeting.

I totally agree that it will be the most unbelievable moment in baseball history.

I agree, I think that Nomar would stay depending on the offer, otherwise he is going out west. Wild Card great chance, catching the Cards, no chance.

Me too, as long as it's about the ORIGINAL Horsemen. None of the nobodies mentioned (Steve "Mongo" McMichaels, for example.) Nah, if you've seen the Benoit DVD, Arn only had about 30 seconds to bitch about the Horsemen coming back for a huge pop, even though others said they were "old news". Arn will get plenty of time ot do it in a Horsemen DVD. I really wonder though if they'll mention the 1993 version that had a four month run.

Wait is Austin going to come to the aid of a woman getting beat up by a man? Does he have to own the market on that?

The Astros and Reds are now in the 13th inning of their first game, it will never end. I predict the Reds will trade another relief pitcher during this game, causing them to run of pitchers.

"Given the close personal and competitive relationship between Kellen and Sean Taylor, as well as their equal talent level on different sides of the football, we did not want to penalize Kellen for being picked one slot below his former teammate," Collins said in the statement. That's the biggest load of shit right there. Yes they were oicked one spot apart, but TE and safety are not the same positions. Kellen Winslow is going to be loved by Browns fans and some fantasy owners, and that's about it.

Brandon Larson is starting at third base for that AAAA team.

Yes when Eddy and Dean were talking about WM XX and what Benoit's win meant, it was very emotional. I was busy cutting onions and getting pepper sprayed.........

Personally I'd like to see Benoit win at Summer Slam. Then on the next Raw, HHH can challenge Benoit for the next shot, angering Orton who says to HHH, "I've only lost to him once, how many times have you lost to him, and you get the shot?" That way they can plant the seeds but let it linger a bit, and have Orton win the title at the October PPV. The Edge turn just comes out of nowhere, considering they haven't tagged in awhile. The only way I think it could work is Monday have Edge bitch about how he's beat Orton twice, so he deserves a title shot. Benoit beats him later that night cleanly. Edge can then cost Benoit the title at Summerslam and claim he did it because he knows he can beat Orton.

So for Art Howe, is it more fufilling managing a team with a limited payroll and good personnel guys or a team with a huge payroll and idiots scouting?

I still thought they should have had a six man tag two weeks before the Ironman match with Orton getting the win for Evolution by pinning Benoit, then they could have played that up after last week's match leading into Summer Slam. While I don't mind the battle royal from the standpoint of getting people on due to the time constraints, and it appeared it may have furthered one storyline (Edge-Jericho), it is lazy booking for a No. 1 contender.

Not something smart to say to the cops, regardless of whether they are making dumb arrests.

That's awesome. I have a question since I have never been to Yankee Stadium. When YS was renovated in the 1970's, are the sight lines good, no obstructed seats, etc.? Because really if the seats are in good view, it just comes down to how many luxury boxes they can get in I guess.

But 20 dollars seats, and hope you get upgraded when it doesn't sell well and parts are tarped off.

I also like the description of "rouge marsupial"

You guys are out of your mind, how could watching a TV screen hurt you while you're driving. And I'm sure it was spur of the moment, but why would this guy even lie about it, I can't imagine he would get more time because of that.

Heinz-Kerry has a very creepy vibe to her, and everytime she speaks, it seems contrived.

I don't buy the back label. Unless their marketers are idiots they should put they serving size as one-half the box. Having a Sat Fat over 100% of daily intake is dumb.

I would guess Obama would likely get a shot for President in 2012. By no means does that mean Kerry will be a two-term Prez, or even get it once. Hell, if W gets the bid this November Obama may get the bid in 2008, there is quite a buzz about him.

Is ESPN gonna be filming the Vikings practice squad?

3 (Gibbs 3 - Shula 0) Damn that 35 point quarter, I kept thinking about Super Bowl XVIII against the Raiders, and not how they beat the shit out of the Broncos! Oh well, at least it strengthens my argument of Joe Gibbs > Don Shula.
