Parties don't define a person's character, but they sure do beat boring weekends sometimes, especially at suitcase schools where it can be tough to meet new people outside of a Greek/Sports environment. Ignore the retard 2 posts up that had nothing worthwhile to contribute and decided to spit venom at me because one of his World of Warcraft elves died.

I saw Impact. MCMSG were fun. Steiners and 3D need to call it a career NOW. So do Gunn and Road Dogg. Angle's wife is the best Diva character in wrestling, probably the best character in TNA. Angle's money. Christian looks strange now. Sting needs to call it a career. There are too many commercial breaks. Lethal's Randy Savage gimmick is bad.

You can't get insight about a fraternity from people who haven't been in one, first of all. That's like asking a bunch of message board people what the inside of a pro sports team's locker room is like and how you'll get treated. You're not paying for your friends. You know what? I take that back. With some fraternities, you are. DON'T JOIN THOSE. You'll know which ones are made up of guys who pretend to be your friend so you can just have a big clique to bang girls. My advice is to rush a bunch of them. Don't listen to the "WE BECOME A FAMILY, WE'RE NOT YOUR TYPICAL FRATERNITY" thing because they all say that. Pick one that: A) DOES COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENTS, AND FUN ONES B) HAS A VERY GOOD REPUTATION WITH FEMALES. ASK GIRLS WHICH FRATERNITY IS THE MOST RESPECTFUL AND POPULAR AT THE SAME TIME. C) IS MOST RESPONSIBLE WITH PARTIES. DON'T LET A GOOD TIME GET YOU ARRESTED. A GREAT PARTY IS ONE THAT CAN BE CRAZY AND RESPONSIBLE. D) HAS GUYS THAT DON'T PRESSURE YOU AND LET YOU BE YOURSELF. Don't ever let a fraternity inflict physical harm to you. There's good ones. Good luck! I loved my fraternity life. Made lifelong friends, got to meet great girls and meet future girlfriends, did good for the community, drank a lot, and always had a cool house to party at!

Interesting, they just showed a fun clip on Comcast. Minutes after losing a crucial game to the soon-to-be-Wildcard-Winner Houston Astros in late 2005 (Phils fans remember THAT game), then-Phillies closer BILLY WAGNER was asked in the locker room what he thought led to his troubles: "It's because I SUCK (yells) and I don't have any pickoff moves."

I want to wish Tim Hudson and John Smoltz the best of luck this weekend in Atlanta. Phillies lead the NL in Come From Behind Wins now. I thought it was neat that the "Met Killer" Pat Burrell (41 hrs!) and "Phillie Killer" Jeff Conine (every clutch hit ever) were in the game today at the same time against each other.

Baseball Prospectus and all these online "stats" counters don't take inton effects hot streaks or slumps. So I ignore them. Wagner, before Game 1 of the Phillies series, said he was "shut down" for a "tired arm" but for this series was "ready to pitch" when he had to. That's why he went 2 today, he said he was ready 3 days ago and they never got to use him. On Comcast, Sarge basically called Wagner a pussy and was all "TIRED ARM? EVERYONE'S GOT A TIRED ARM! WAGNER NEEDS TO SUCK IT UP."

"He gave up three hits in the ninth, all singles. It's not like they teed off." You're forgetting when Pat Burrell teed off on him in the 8th and hit another clutch home run off him. Wagner: "Ah er duh uh he uh has one swing I uh threw it there". Let's be real here, though. Billy Wagner is, IMO, the best closer in baseball. There's a few pretty good closers, though, so I say IMO. Today was just a game between two teams who refused to go down and the Phillies snuck out with the last at bats.

I just returned from the Baseball Game of the Year. Oh my God what a rollercoaster. HOLY SHIT I'm so pumped. I'm furious about certain pitchers, and WHY THE FUCK THEY PULLED ROMERO for The Fat Men Who Can't Pitch, but goddamn if it didn't end like a Disney movie. I'll say this though, I don't entirely hate Mets fans, they were their in force, were passionate, even more so than the other games in the series. The Phillies fans give pinch hitter Marlon Anderson a standing ovation. The Mets give Alfonseca a standing ovation and chant his name. Two turds getting their props.

I am off to Game 4 with a broom in hand. I noticed that with the Snakes losing all of a sudden the Wild Card sees the Phils only 2 back in the loss column! I hope The Other Kyle has good stuff today!

Maybe it was 1 in 20. I just found it to be a really rude billboard, especially for black men that live in the area who are healthy, for when a tourist enters and sees a giant billboard pretty much saying "Welcome to Miami, hide your daughters!" My POINT is, it's a shitty thing to be near the stadium.

On the subject of Florida and stadiums, and I swear this isn't an attempt to be either A)humorous or B)racist, there's a big ass billboard near the Florida Marlins Stadium, I saw this March on vacation, which reads: "1 Out of 30 Black Males in Miami Now Has A Sexually Transmitted Disease" And then lists a hotline number to call. If anyone lives near there and can explain WHY this hasn't been torn down, enlighten me.

I'm home from the Phils game, another awesome crowd, was in the 200 level, be there tomorrow. Did I read something about the Phillies being "dead" and "like 7 games back" a few pages back? Seriously, though, I love series like this, great Playoff Atmosphere (something Phillies have only a few games/series a year, honestly, and they're not real Playoffs, so...). Mets pitching was great again tonight. Phils were pretty good, but Moyer, Romeo, and Myers all needed defense to get them out of jams, or in Myers case a boneheaded play. I'll be bringing my broom tomorrow!

Off to Game 3 for Mets/Phils. Tomorrow we're supposed to get some rain in the afternoon. Wonder if Werth starts tonite...

PHILLIES WIN WALKOFF RYAN HOWARD M'FN MVP WINS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT DEAD YET

Wow. The second run for the Phillies comes on a 12 foot in-field single that hugged the line and just wouldn't go foul. Tie game into the 9th. Coste swings at the first pitch for Phils w/ bases loaded in 8th right back to the pitcher, sigh.

Phillies get outta a jam for the umpteenth time and bring top o' the order up for bottom of the 8th. Do or die time.

Glavine pitching a gem... Top 8 - Mets 2 Phils 0.

The intro rap by Jermaine Dupee (Now this is uh...Hey, uh, listen to them!) to Kriss Kross's "Warm It Up" always bugged me as a kid.

Ironic that in 1995, Big Daddy V won the King of the Ring in Philadelphia as 15,000 fans chanted "ECW! ECW!" I love Punk being this generation's Lex Luger to Morrison's Ric Flair.

Mets 2, Phillies 0 - Top 5. Phils have had very few chances, but should have scored a run, Glavine just gives a little and as usual, holds strong and allows very little against the Phillies. Delgado hit a 2-run bomb, that's the differenc.e Jayson Werth's 9-9 streak came to an end on a Glavine strikeout. It was a very questionable, but not outrageous, call. Double play ball kills Phillies in the 4th. Howard misses a homer by about 8 vertical feet, settles for a giant single.

Totally agree, pitching wins games, as I said a few posts up, but you play the hand you're dealt, I guess.

Stats mean jack shit, especially when you're calling out Kendrick for throwing longballs in Citizens Bank Park, the mecca of homerun balls. The Phillies are not a conventional pitching team, as they are the definition of "keep them in the game" pitching due to the offense being able to back up the pitching. Other than Hamels, there isn't one traditional "good pitcher" on the team, bullpen included. Myers is okay. Speaking of silly stats, I love how Phillies.com claims Adam Eaton is a "Met Killer" for being 5-0 against them...despite tonight's pitcher Tom Glavine having beaten the Phillies *28* times.

The strike turned baseball from America's Favorite Game into "another sport", not Bonds.

I believe Thursday Raw Thursday was at the Manhattan Center, bub. The Skydome non-Monday Raw, in February 1999, right before IYH: St. Valentine's Day Massacre, was on a Friday, I believe. "- On a holiday." C'mon, Shawn superkicking Hogan was awesome on July 4th. And the Smackdown! Halloween Special from '02 gave us the debut of RAPPER CENA, Brock Vs. Mysterio, Eddie Vs. Angle, plus Dawn and Torrie in some hot outfits wrestling...and Angle giving Benoit an Angle-Slam through a table only to have Benoit, in mid-move, break a bottle over his head. Plus Stephanie in that witch outfit with the giant bust, making out with Bischoff.

"it's that future predictions are based solely on the most recent performance." Actually Al, if you read my posts, you'd have seen that my predictions for their future were based on the fact that the team, for an entire season, not "recently", has been the best hitting NL club. That is why, combined with "keep them in the game" overachieving by useless slugs Jamie Moyer and Adam Eaton, along with new guys Durbin and Kendrick who have been effective, I think they have a chance. The pitching is the key. I'm skipping tonight's game and heading back to the Ballpark tomorrow and for the BPS on Thursday afternoon. Unless the bats are healthy, tonight's probably a big loss begind Eaton. With the way the rotation got worked out for this series I'm glad Eaton's pitching the game I'm missing, as Moyer, who has nothing left at this point, is somehow at least decent every other start. Eaton just needs to retire, and drop Mesa off a cliff on the way. I pray the Diamondbacks get some hits tonight. Aside from Eric Byrnes having a great game, they were asleep last night due to Peavy pitching a gem. Go Snakes!
