Well, the Cubs won 97 games in the regular season. And how many did they win in the postseason against those 84 win Dodgers? None. So, by your claims, the Cubs are a worse team than the Dodgers.

This is just getting ridiculous.

LMAO... I wonder if they'll even bring him back on TV since he never wrestled a televised match with the new gimmick. Too bad Vince isn't on TV. They could have Dolph introduce himself, and Vince give him the look of death followed by "YOOOOOOOOOOU'RE FIIIIIIIRRRRRED!"

Does anyone do the vote by mail thing? I signed up for it when I registered in California since I don't have a car. I received my ballot yesterday. I'm able to mail it in anytime between now and November 4th, or I can deliver it to a polling place on election day (defeats the purpose, eh?) or to a "vote mobile" at a variety of public libraries. I'm certain I'm voting for Obama, but I haven't lived here too long and I still need to learn more when it comes to candidates for local office.

Seriously, giving up an RBI single to the pitcher? I didn't get a chance to watch last night's game until after it had ended due to being occupied with moving a shit ton of furniture. I'm able to watch the whole game today, though. I just hope the Dodgers can pull it out. Still a long way to go. They'd still have a very good chance going back to LA being down 0-2, but I'd feel much more comfortable if they split the 2 games in Philadelphia. The Phillies are a damn good team.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6199025.html?...adlines;title;1 Hmm... Sounds inetresting, but so did NFL Head Coach. I enjoy that game, but it's too time consuming and I can't stand to play more than one game at a time.

This thread got me to go back to GTA. It was my 20th (non-arcade) 360 game, and I've acquired 16 more games since. So I got a little distracted with other games, you know? It's great though, and I think I have 15 missions till the end.

So, you forgot to change the draft and it happened automatically, eh? This thing is D.O.A.

Halo 3: Recon expansion announced: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6198820.html?...adlines;title;1

Caught a touchdown pass and then feigned mooning the crowd? Well, I guess that would distract the cop.

That was 2K5, actually. 2K6 had Shaq on the cover. And yeah, the whole series has been good except for 2K8. Leo, the online leagues are way better than NCAA's, except that you can't play multiple years. You have detailed stats and you can even check stats/standings/etc. from detailed league pages on 2Ksports.com. For example: http://community.2ksports.com/community/le...ndex.cfm?l=4828

It seems like a horrible fate, but it looked like when he was dug up, he had "died" from lack of oxygen and then regenerated once the casket was opened. Like a long nap.

Happy birthday, Porter. I thought you were a lot older.

Just watched ECW. Striker's Austin impersonation was spot on. I couldn't believe WWE allowed Grisham to say, "The Jamaican's getting high!" followed by Striker's B.C. kush line. All that after Striker made a comment of Kofi's locker smelling like a high school art teacher. So many stereotypical Jamaican weed smoker references.

I did well considering I have more SD talents than Raw. Haven't watched ECW yet.

You ever play Eternal Sonata? No, but I liked the demo. I'm more interested in Tales of Vesperia. I've been holding off on buying the single player games, though. Those can wait. I've been buying the multiplayer games I know I'll play a lot, like Rock Band 2and NHL 09.

There have been several roster updates released. Favre was on the Jets in an update that was available the day the game came out. You have to enter into "Quick Play" for an online game (don't even have to play the game) to download the rosters.

It's not for everyone. For people like me, the freedom is a wonderful thing. But some people find that freedom overwhelming and don't want to go exploring on random quests and stuff. They like a more linear game. Personally, I enjoy both. They're 2 different experiences. I love Japanese RPGs, which are as linear as it gets for the most part, but Oblivion is fantastic in my book.

I'll be picking up NBA 2K9, Saints Row 2, and then another game to exchange later for fable II. There are other games I want, including GH: World Tour and Fallout 3, but I'm happy with Rock Band 2 for now and I haven't finished Oblivion, so I can wait and buy those later on, no exchange. Not counting arcade games, my 360 collection has gone from 19 games prior to GTA IV, to 36 now. Yikes.

I know the preseason schedule started off on Sunday, but it kicks off here with Jazz "at" Lakers in Anaheim. More importantly, the Bulls play Dallas on Thursday, but even if there was any chance we'd be getting that game (there wasn't), the Lakers and Clippers play each other that night. Oh, and the Oklahoma City THUNDER~! make their debut tomorrow night. We also have some games scheduled internationally, as well as local games against international teams. They are listed as follows (all times Eastern): Thursday, Oct. 9 New Jersey vs. Miami at Paris, 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10 CSKA Moscow at Orlando, 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12 Miami vs. New Jersey at London, 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14 Washington vs. New Orleans at Berlin, 2 p.m. CSKA Moscow at Toronto, 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15 Golden State vs. Milwaukee at Guangzhou, China, 8 a.m. Friday, Oct. 17 New Orleans vs. Washington at Barcelona, Spain, 3:30 p.m. Milwaukee vs. Golden State at Beijing, 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 FC Barcelona at L.A. Lakers, 10:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19 Toronto or L.A. Clippers vs. FC Barcelona at Los Angeles, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21 Lietuvos Rytas at Golden State, 10:30 p.m. Now for the 20 questions: 1. Who will win the MVP? Chris Paul. As much as I love Kobe, Paul should have won it last year. 2. Who will win the Rookie of the Year? I may be biased, but I say Derrick Rose. He's already playing for what should be a 50 win team (barring a disaster like last season) and he has the tools around him to work with. 3. Who will be the Coach of the Year? Maurice Cheeks, Philadelphia 4. Who will be named to the All-NBA First Team? PG: Chris Paul SG: Kobe Bryant C: Dwight Howard SF: Lebron James PF: Kevin Garnett 5. Who will be the NBA's Most Improved Player? Kirk Hinrich 6. What team had the best offseason? 76ers 7. What team had the worst offseason? Warriors 8. Which team will be the most improved over last year? Miami. Philly will better their record, Chicago even more so. But Miami was so far down that they will improve most. 9. Which team will be the biggest disappointment? Spurs. They looked like they were slipping last year, and I think they'll fall to a lower seed this year. The Suns should drop off as well. 10. What was the best offseason move? Philly signing Elton Brand. 11. What was the worst offseason move? The Clippers losing Brand. 12. Who will make the playoffs that didn't last year? Chicago, Portland, Miami 13. Who will not make the playoffs that did last year? Atlanta, Denver, Washington 14. Who are the best five players in the league, position aside (weak-sauce question, I know)? Kobe, Lebron, Chris Paul, Garnett, Tim Duncan 15. Who will be the division winners? Boston, Chicago, Orlando, Utah, Lakers, New Orleans 16. Eastern Conference Final: Boston vs. Detroit. The Pistons always seem to find their way in, and I think Philly and my Bulls are a year away from the conference finals. 17. Western Conference Final: Lakers vs. Jazz. The Rockets are a tempting choice, but recent history suggests they won't make it this far. 18. Who will win the NBA Title, and who will they beat?: I hope this isn't just wishful thinking, but Lakers over Boston in a rematch from last year. 19. Who will be the #1 pick in next year's draft? I have no idea, since I don't follow college basketball much outside of Illinois and the occasional UCLA game. 20. Make one bold prediction: The Spurs will be eliminated in the first round.

Has anyone seen this for NBA 2K9? i found it via a Gamespot link. Looks pretty awesome, even though I just skimmed and don't know all the details yet: http://www.theotherseason.com/#/leagueHome

Obviously, I want the Dodgers to win. But if they happen to lose, I can take solace in the fact that a guy I know from Glenwood High School, Jayson Werth, will play in the World Series. He's a good guy, and he's one of the only famous people to come out of Springfield/Chatham Illinois since Abraham Lincoln. The others are Kevin Gamble, my friends Chris and Jared of the band Augustana (the rest of the band is from elsewhere), and Lanphier High School (my dad's alma mater)'s own Andre Iguodala. Oh, and Jayson's uncle, former Angel, Met, Dodger, and World Series Champion with the Blue Jays, Dick Schofield. Dodgers in 6.

I watched American Gangster earlier today (found no thread for it) and it was just fucking awesome. As far as movie stars go, Denzel is my #2 baddest motherfucker alive after Sam Jackson. Denzel's obviously a much more versatile actor, though.

Cool.

Yeah, I like Venk and all, but I thought from the beginning that it was a stupid idea since I figured it'd only cause more drama. But, to Venk's credit, he just wanted to get all this shit out of the WWE folder. I don't blame him. Way too much arguing, with many posters involved- myself included.
