How is Michael Cole still employed after 8 years? Seriously? The highlight of his career was in 1999, when a "heel" Jim Ross angle had JR refer to him as a "pretty boy, nice tight ass" in one of the most awkward promos ever. Other than that, Michael Cole is awful, and only Mike Tenay trumps him on the "mute button" scale.

Actually I can't smoke marijuana anymore (got a pretty decent paying job out of college that randomly tests) and I only drink maybe once or twice a month now. I didn't have the best of the best grades at my school, but did manage the Dean's List all of senior year and somehow got a 1410 out of 1600 on my high school SATs, and although that's a great score, the SATs mean little in the real world. I've run out of space in my signature for the super over for a night but now admittingly lame Triple H Squash Tour 2007 signature, so expect something Phillies related just for you on Sunday. I'm getting hives from this attention please find a Lenna thread to draw attention to someone and discuss baseball here.

Yes, because you swing a...wooden door... at people. You probably should've edited your posts twice to delete that sentence. Since you inquired about my personal life, I'm very non-violent and would never be associated with an organization that caused physical harm to its members. And Bob Barron's still awesome. Edit: Is it still there? I sold that website. The dude hasn't change it at all, I see. I don't know why. Forgive me for not remembering I uploaded a picture 3 years ago, though. A lot of marijuana and beer and occassionally having a life closed my memory banks, I suppose. STOP TALKING ABOUT ME, TALK ABOUT BASEBALL.

Nice! That's me on the way to one of the '04 Playoff games if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for saving that picture of me. Note the "WOODEN PLANK" temporarily serving as the fraternity house door after a drunken charge took it out, as well as the equally disturbing "vanilla pudding" wall paint color. Posting a handsome picture of me you've kept on your computer for three years (eww...) is the best come-back to my ultra-awesome "Mets Grieving Stages" post? Come on New York, fahgetaboutit!

So you're not allowed to post your thoughts here unless you've posted ALL SEASON (which I have) ? Who the fuck are you, again? For someone that pretends he is a mod you sure do everything BUT discuss baseball. Now you have: 1) made self-imposed stupid rules 2) flamed me, puts words into my posts that a blind man could see weren't in the post 3) claimed things about baseball players that logically make no sense 4) STILL not discussed baseball once 5) told me I have to be here all year to post 6) obviously not been here all year, since you have no idea who Steve J. Rogers is 7) made the last two pages un-fun So anyway (please don't respond, I offered to be civil with you and discuss baseball but you couldn't comprehend that and keep telling me not to celebrate despite having a lot to cheer about in Philadelphia and still using the words "IF WE LOSE" in multiple posts) - the Brewers, despite having some sick Piggly Wiggly commercials on MLB Package, had an even sicker looking defense tonight. In a bad way. Errors/missed balls galore pretty much put away any chance for them to make the playoffs, IMO, despite Chicago making no effort to clinch the division. Bright future and possible MVP candidate (top candidate), young team, but season seems over. A shame, I wanted to see Bernie Brewer slide down the, uh, slide and do something special for a home Brewers playoff game. The Padres look sick right now, and I hope they stay hot if only just to keep the even hotter Padres out of the playoffs if the Phillies lock up the other spot. The Rox look pretty deadly, and the Padres really haven't had a tough schedule late in the year, but only looked vulnerable when playing Colorado. I'd rather take my chances facing Young and Peavy then getting Holliday and friends every day for 3-5 or 7 games.

Awful show. An endless promo video for Judas Mesias ends in him getting pumelled for 7 minutes and made to look like a job guy. HAHA. Dudleys, bless their hearts, are the only thing that gets any reaction, but their matches aren't holding up at all. Did Don West say "Firecrotch"? This is so much worse than 2000 WCW. Also, Christian Cage looks sickly.

The point of that was that Steve J. Rogers over-exaggerates the Mets problems. I think everyone got that but you, considering the same joke has been made in this same thread countless times by different posters. Where in that post did I once mention CELEBRATING? Or even mention the Phillies AT ALL? Are you mental? Jeez, chill with the flame-baiting.

Keep in mind they had Brock kick out of Goldberg's attack and it was an Eddie counter plus Frogsplash that did Lesnar in.

Steve J. Rogers is in the thread but not posting. I'll let you know if he starts sending me strange text messages about the sliding door being left open...

You've still given nothing to this thread, not even opinions about baseball, except ones that were erroneous. It was your incorrect statement that originally led to me rebuttal and your serious uncreative response. I'll ignore your comments about me because they are unfounded and also erroneous. Even the people that like me only find my posts, quote, "funny", in a negative OR positive manner, once in a blue moon. The moon is not blue. Keep trying, chum. The times I bitch about Manuel or Myers, my only two targets, are when they do something stupid (Myers throwing bad pitches and losing games, blowing up on the media, Manuel's numerous coaching blunders), and the rest of the time I either give Philly updates or give positive opinions on the team. This is a discussion forum and is thus a grounds for conversation and not uncolorful metaphoric ine-word phrases also serving as sounds like your "Whoosh." or whatever you were trying to convey following the dissection of your original point about the great MVP Ryan Howard. I shall check in tomorrow at approximately 3 AM to discuss the Phillies post-season push following a trip to the great Citizens Bank Park and the local bar. I hope to be in a happy mood and will see if we cannot resolve this matter with a discussion of what your favorite baseball team is and how their postseason hopes are going. This will be Eastern Standard Time, so if you're really from the Pacific Northwest, I invite you to join me at 12 midnight Pacific Time. Otherwise, please post your baseball-related comments that do not attack posters for having differing opinions and I will comment on them.

This is a different team. Even if they lose, the fan reaction won't be "DAMN THEM!", it's "I FEEL BAD FOR THEM". That shows that this team is a lot more deep and actually cares, IMO, and separates them from the heartless bums that played here in the past. This team is now completely void of heartless no-talents, except for occassional appearences by Alfonseca, Davis, Mesa, Helms and Barajas, and has a never-say die attitude, plus a lot more developed talent than previous years. Perhaps I'm just popping for Myers, who I've hated, showing some positive emotion and doing a very "Batista-like" dance after his big final strikeout tonight. I dunno, but I'm excited, and going to home games #19 and #20 tomorrow and Sunday and if they don't win the East, I'll be disappointed, but not mad. That's a far cry from the town's attitude as of late.

The MLB.com and TSM Mets fans all show signs of grieving: "This isn't happening. Come on, Phils are 4 games back, they're not catching the Mets ..." - DENIAL "WTF?!?!? COACH YOUR TEAM WILLIE! Ugh! Another shitty performance by Wagner!" - ANGER "You know what? If they don't make the playoffs at least Willie gets fired!" - BARGAINING "Fuck this. Let the team go down. This is ridiculous." - DEPRESSION And devo comes with the latest: "Might as well forget everything that's happened, 'cause it doesn't matter anymore." - ACCEPTANCE We'll never forget those Mets that we grieve for. Our feelings may be tempered more with good memories than sadness as time passes, but that isn't to say that waves of raw emotion won't overcome us way after we thing we should be done. I think the trick here is to understand that the feelings will occur, try to keep them in perspective, try to understand why you feel a certain way, and if there are any unresolved issues that cause particular emotional pain, forgive yourself and others and if necessary talk with someone about it. There is no completion date to grieving...let your emotions flow through the stages of grief. Mr. Met loves you!

"Whoosh." Hey, great contribution to the thread! ____________ FIRST PLACE BABY! How the Mets get 3 hits is just pathetic. Man, I hope the Nats are ready, because the Phils are playing inspired baseball and I think the division is ours. Kyle Kendrick, if he played a full season, could easily get a ton of ROTY votes, methinks. Even for a pitcher.

Rollins is so winning the MVP unless the Rockies sweep the Snakes. Got tickets for tomorrow night at the Cit, "LADIES NIGHT" baby! Bring on the Nats! Braves have mailed this game in offensively and defensively. "hurting him as a player." He must be some player then to be hurting and lead the league in RBI, and would likely lead in HRs if not hurt earlier in the year. I do agree though, his "feast or famine" technique is holding him back from even bigger numbers and hurts the team at times.

The Phillies pitching will keep them from the playoffs. Or embarass them there is they do make it. Either way, the NL is horrible and not one NL playoff team could beat any AL team in a 5 or 7 game series.

Phils tie it at 4 playing home run derby. Mets down by 4. Aww.

Phillies winning big tonight. Mets get spanked at home, Padres losing, and Brewers won (Brew Crew have 3 with SD, helps for them to be in a race). Now they gotta take care of a moderately hot Atlanta team.

Ha. Or not.

Orton pins Cena, new champion.

OMG RKO ORTON UNDER THE TABLE...

The Matrix spot is obviously the returning Gail Kim.

There's your CHRIS JERICHO RETURNS VIDEO. Not that it'll matter because WWE matches are in slow motion and lack logical booking or interest.

Because he wants to show Coachman loyalty and give him a last taste of power, since Coach seemed upset that Regal's returning next week. This Beth Phoenix resembles Beth from Dog the Bounty Hunter...

Really, is "bury" the optimal word here? Carlito, when he saw Triple H, basically had "I'm a Big Pussy" tattooed on his head. He ran away. He couldn't even get away from a guy on two bad quads. He was then beaten up. Repeatedly thrown into the cage. Spinebustered. Pedigree'd on a chair. All as Triple H took his time. The crowd went silent, some of them actually boo'ing. This is what, say, Scott Steiner in 2000 would do to Jamie Noble or Evan Karagias. This qualifies as a burial.

Hustle Championship Surrender Ceremony!
