No idea Choken. That would be awesome though for the Sportscenter flashbacks they show on classic. Narrarator: "And that concludes the sad tale of Donnie Moore. On a happier note he was the inspiration for a character who shot himself in a film that featured a prosthetic crank."

Moore was an Angels pitcher who allowed the home run to Dave Henderson in the 1986 ALCS,IIRC. And that led to pretty much a nervous breakdown, resulting in suicide.

I don't even think the Marlins would have been the big story in any circumstance. They were the big story a few years ago when they were the upstarts who won the series. Been there, done that.

Yes, they are set TO MAKE A RUN at the playoffs for the next few years. Nowhere did I say it was going to be easy, and they would be locks to get to the playoffs. But they have put themselves in a position to be in contention year in and year out. That is all you can do, after that some breaks fall your way you are in the world series.

I'm driving. If you were worth anything, you'd delete that shit. Seriously, just stop it with this guy. I'm as pissed as you are, but don't fucking post his personal information for everyone to see. I don't give a fuck if others do it, you shouldn't lower yourself to that of a twat. If anyone tries anything on the guy, I hope he breaks their neck in self defense. This was posted last night on usenet. Who cares if it was posted on Yahoo's front page, ESPNs homepage, etc.. It is still a shitty thing to do, to put it up anywhere. The "they put it up first" rule means jack shit.

I used to hate the Marlins firesale deal, but fuck all that. The owner provided a championship. As a fan, if you stop showing up right after you get a championship then you deserve to be called bandwagon jumpers, I don't care if he sold off every player, coach, bat, base,etc. Fucking spoiled Marlins "fans".

Over the course of 162 games, bad appearances will be evened out of the equation in the end. So this team is set to make a run at the playoffs for a few years. And to claim that a team can make the playoffs, can't make the world series is just absurd.

Yes, with Prior/Wood/Zambrano/Clement, they will never be anywhere close anytime soon. Where can you honestly go with 4 good pitchers who are still on the rise?

Getting ahead of yourself much? Has this owner shown where he is going to be willing to spend the millions of dollars to keep Castillo, Lowell, Urbina and Pudge?

Oh, boo fucking hoo. They got a title in their first few years of existance and then got torn apart. Cry me a fucking river.

If there is more blood less plot in the next one, it is going to suck ass. I enjoyed the movie, but the only real plot point was, "You fucked me over, now you must die." They need to get into the wedding, Bill/Hattori relationship, reason they tried to kill Uma.

And FOX executives are currently tightening nooses in offices all across the country as we speak.

Reynolds should have gotten at least two for the choking. Plus another two for sheer stupidity. There are plenty of pileups during a game to get in extra shots. Don't wait until it is just you on top of him, with no shielding, to pull something like that.

I think a 1 game suspension for this is just silly. While it may be a stupid tradition, it is commonplace for fans to charge the field if their team scores a major upset at home. SO if you are on the road and are the ones being upset, you should expect people to be on the field. The kid wasn't running towards him, he was running past him, and the NU guy just sucker punched him. I also think Solich made himself out to be a complete ass during his press conference. Solich: "Well, after reviewing the tape (insert player's name) didn't go searching out anyone." Good rationalization, assfuck. Yeah, he didn't search the field for someone. He just saw someone was close and took a cheap shot, makes it much less of a crime. I would have suspended the kid for the rest of the season.

I thought it was set up that whoever had the most points would win the game. Isn't that why you assigned all those point values to stats. As for the 1-0 vs. 4-3 arguement I would prefer just you either win or lose, no winning each stat category. It is easier to track, plus it limits the damage in case some teams decide to quit and give 7-0 wins to the teams who face them late in the season. As opposed to those teams who faced them when they were still playing.

Because the ball was right on the fence between the stands and the field, so it really wasn't in the field of play. Would the interference call have mattered anyway? I thought that the home team is the one who feels the consequences of fan interference, I didn't think fan interference could hurt the visitors.

As a fan I love the idea, but to make money this makes no sense. The markup doesn't even matter that much, because it would likely be ridiculously expensive to do. I would imagine the way they would have to do it to save time is to have every match stored on computer files, that can just be moved onto a burning program. Now, I don't know that much about servers and shit, but I would think to store every match they would make available in DVD quality on computer servers would be very expensive. Also, throw in the fact that they would lose the audience who is willing to buy a PPV DVD for one or two matches. For example, I bought RR 03 for Angle/Benoit. For a custom DVD, this match would probably take up about 1/10th of the disc. So instead of making me pay 20 bucks for it, I end up paying 2 dollars for it. And add in the aforementioned economies of scale.

BTW, CC is going to kick your ass.

"(although the Raiders and Chargers are limping, the Bucs and Seahawks are doing OK). " What the hell is this? It's bad enough some people have two "favorite" teams, but this is nuts.

This is going to lead to nothing for Jericho. That is my problem with this whole deal. If the Stacy beating led to Jericho being proven right, and start to be played up as a face (which he is in the angle) then the angle would make sense. Instead we will get Jericho being played up as a whiny bitch, Austin will beat the shit out of him, and Austin will get sent away. So the angle will end with Austin beating the shit out of Jericho.

If the fire sale a few years ago didn't curse the Marlins, I don't know what will.

Why would you lie like that alfdogg? He pm'ed me and told me he wants Stanley Tucci, not Stanley Roberts.
