Seeing Jayson Werth get a graphic on Baseball Tonight, much less for getting 9 hits in 9 straight at bats, is astounding. I'm a Phils homer and all, and Werth's pretty damn underrated...but c'mon, Jayson Werth 9-9? 1 away from the NL Record, 3 away from the MLB record.

Just got home from the Phillies whooping the Mets asses. Loved it. Durbin's either really really good or really really bad. Glad he pitched well tonight. I don't know how being 3 games out of the playoffs with the best offense in the league is "dead", but to whoever said that, uh, okay. As long as the pitching can keep them in the game and overachieve, the Phillies will be right there 'til the end. Plus the NL West is notoriously un-clutch at tight races or in the playoffs. Hope that continues.

Raw felt like it was 9 hours long tonight, and a comp. show of "Bad DX Skits", "Bad Cena Matches" (love his PPV work, his Raw matches are always coldsores of matches), and "Boring Non-Finishes". Mr. Kennedy continues to have awful matches (Super Crazy, last week w/ Carlito, tonight with Hardy). And Kennedy won't be McMahon's son.

But the Mets, Phillies, Padres and DBacks all playing each other affects teams that can realistically win a World Series when healthy. The Brewers and Cubs and Cardinals cannot win said Series. In a perfect world, none of these teams even have a good enough record to be IN the playoffs. But someone has to win the Central. DBacks/Padres is probably the series of the month. The Best Team in The NL and the Best Pitching in The NL That's Starting to Hit, respectively.

"the mother of Vince's 'son' turns out to be Sable" Kayfabe, they were fucking back in 2003.

I would've put Mets/Phillies or DBacks/Padres under the thread title as FAR more important series than those shitty NL Central teams, but oh well. I'm headed out to Phils/Mets tonight. I got tix for Wednesday's game, too, and sold the tickets for tomorrow already. On a related note, Brett Myers may be the biggest piece of white trash ever, and I hope he gets injured for further embarassing himself.

Game back on August 27, 2007 To the delight of our fans, The Kings of Kings, Triple H, made a triumphant return with a victory over King Booker at SummerSlam. Tonight, The Game returns to Raw. After a nearly nine-month absence, what will the 10-time World Champion have to say? And what are his plans for WWE? Meanwhile, WWE Champion John Cena pulled out yet another gutsy title defense at SummerSlam when he turned back the dangerous challenge of Randy Orton in one of the most memorable matches in SummerSlam history. What’s next for The Champ? And has he seen the last of Orton? Also, Mr. McMahon's search for his bastard son continues. He had hoped that the mother of his illegitimate son would reveal herself at SummerSlam, but his hopes were dashed. Perhaps on Monday Night Raw in Boston, more clues will surface about the identity of the Chairman’s long-lost son. In Diva news, Candice Michelle watched Beth Phoenix help dispose of 11 other Divas at SummerSlam's all-Diva Battle Royal. With her victory, Phoenix won the opportunity to challenge Candice Michelle for the Women’s Championship. With a championship match in the future, things are sure to heat up between the two Raw Divas. Umaga also successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Kennedy and Carlito in their Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam. The Samoan Bulldozer emerged victorious, but just barely. Will Mr. Kennedy and Carlito continue pursuing the Intercontinental Championship? Find out the answers to all these questions and more Monday night on Raw when it airs live at 9/8 CT with a special broadcast on the Sci Fi Network.

"They obviously want to set up an Extreme Rules blowoff by having Morrison have to cheat to win." Anyone else getting Deja Vu with this excuse for Punk losing every month? Why, exactly, would a match being no DQ or whatever HELP Punk? Morrison looked great in an Extreme Rules match against Dreamer. Since when is Punk some God of "Extreme Rules" matches? Has he even been in one? I'd be more worried about the titles that actually have a little bit of value left before you throw your arms up about the ECW European Title. The loud-ass "BORING" chants for Khali/Batista trumped the Taker/JBL Stinker from '04, and Cena has no credible challengers that can actually have a fun match.

Motion to close the Benoit thread since it's become a Chyna's dick discussion.

Cena winning is awesome. Long live huge title reigns and Orton was, thus far, the weakest challenger during the reign...who REALLY thought he was ending it? Haha.

500,000 buys for World Title Matches featuring Orton, Khali, and Morrison? I SAY THEE NAY.

The Temple Football Coach has come to the booth in the 5th inning of the Phillies game and brought his team's bad karma. :::3-run home run hit::: "I'll let you call that one. That's an uh-oh ball." :::solo homer hit::: "Oh man, let this stop." :::Nunez misses a ball::: "You guys better get me out of the booth."

Whiny girl Giles costs the Phillies a run. He doesn't want to get in Ruiz's face again or an ass-whooping will ensue. I loved the close-up shot of Maddux earlier in the inning when crappy Padres 3b missed the tag on Victorino. "FUCK!" Okay, the Padres 3b is probably not crappy, but he had Victorino dead to rights and just...missed him. Incredible. In other news, candy-bar eating fat kid Mike Zagurski has season ending surgery. Never liked him.

I can say that this will be by far be the worst SummerSlam ever. There isn't one match on this card of interest to me, even to see free.

When a reporter asked Jimmy Rollins if the Phillies were the "MacGyver" of baseball, a reference to the 1985-92 television show starring Richard Dean Anderson as an extremely resourceful secret agent, Rollins laughed. "Yeah, with duct tape and Motrin," Rollins said. "We'll just keep finding ways to get it done." Got tix for 3 of the 4 Phils/Mets games! The one game I didn't get tickets for, stupidly (at the time) was the Monday opener, which would've been Hamels starting. Fucking injuries! And whoever said Charlie Manuel deserves MOTY, that was funny. As if Manuel has made one productive move this year (His bullpen use is comical, not the shittyness of the bullpen, his swapping in and out of said shit or taking starters out WAY too early, not to mention idiotic line-up combos, keeping Iguchi at second at bat, keeping Roward below Burrell, moving Rollins around, not benching Howard a game after blatantly dipshit at-bats, there's endless things here...). The Phillies offense is what keeps them treading water, let's be real here.

No, you're a mark for using a worker's status to put yourself over on a message board, actually. And you know better. Or maybe you are untrained, I don't know.

Brian Gerwitz spilling food all over Santino Marella wasn't funny. Ironically, Santino's "written material" became unfunny when Gerwitz was in a sketch.

Cole's taking that Cy Young before all is said and done. And Howard can win the MVP if A) The Phils made the playoffs (different than last year when they didn't, he's not having as good of a year), B)He finishes with the HR and RBI lead and C)He stops striking out twice a game.

"Oh, Ron, the boardwalk is so big! How will we make it all the way to 12th Street in time?" "TRAM!"

"New Jack calling me a Micheal Jackson looking fucker when i went to go check up on him after a cage match...and yes he was on a live mic in front of a big crowd." :::cough::: Mark. :::cough:::

There's no better gimmick than what Santino is doing now, stop it. It's almost as if the shitty Hollywood Writerz aren't doing his lines.

I'd say there's absolutely no way Triple H returns tonight. They have to save it for SummerSlam after deciding not to bring him back at MSG.

Champ on hot seat August 20, 2007 As Raw heads into North Carolina’s Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, it is clear that Randy Orton will do anything to weaken John Cena before their showdown over the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Just a little more than a week before the Biggest Party of the Summer, the Legend Killer sent Cena and all WWE a message when he attacked The Champ from behind on Saturday Night’s Main Event and flattened him with a thunderous RKO on a steel chair. What is Cena’s condition going into Raw, with SummerSlam less than a week away? And will Orton send the WWE Champion yet another painful message? The identity of the WWE Superstar who is Mr. McMahon’s illegitimate child remains unknown as Jonathan Coachman appeared unable to get to the bottom of the mystery on Saturday Night’s Main Event. The Chairman has rejected Eugene, Melina and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin as his potential love children. Will there be new developments this Monday in the billionaire’s quest to find out which Superstar could be the fruit of the McMahon family tree? Also, with the matchup for kingly supremacy announced, how will King Booker prepare to face the returning 10-time World Champion, Triple H, at SummerSlam? Can Booker and Queen Sharmell scheme a way to hold onto their royal Raw kingdom? Finally, with the big Dating Game date between Ron Simmons and Maria scheduled, will the jealous Santino Marella find a way to throw an Italian-sized kink in the game-show machinations of Raw General Manager William Regal? We’ll find out Monday night in the Tarheel State, live at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

Heading to Ozzfest on Wednesday. Was given a friend's extra online ticket printout page. He's going but not with my group. I'm assuming they scan the barcode and such...but it has his name on the page. Will I be allowed in without his credit card or ID? Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
