Fun Facts about Adam Eaton. *Eaton's ERA now stands at 6.36, worst in the National League. The next worst is David Wells, who at 5.54 is nearly a full run better. *Wells' performance has earned him a designation for assignment, leaving him contemplating retirement. Eaton is owed $24 million through 2009. *Eaton needs just six home runs to match his career high, which took him 66.3 more innings to do so. *Eaton managed not to walk any hitters, leaving him still 11 short of his career high for walks. *Eaton's ERA is the fourth worst this decade, behind only Eric Milton (2005) and two seasons of Jose Lima. *The Phillies traded away Bobby Abreu for "payroll flexibility." The Phils then signed Adam Eaton at $8 million a season. Just saying.

As I said last week, what can Rich Dubee possibly say to Adam Eaton besides, "why do you suck so much?"

Probably not when you can buy the dvd itself for $22 on Amazon. I'm betting that the Benoit match(es) got cut from the PPV version as well.

From the result page. The most extreme-right promotion ever was probably WCW in 2000. The booking was completely entertainment orientated with angles and character taking priority and matches having constant run-ins and swerves. On the otherhand, the most extreme-left promotion was likely to be Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in the 70/80s which was traditional in all aspects.

That's why you pay the extra $25 obviously. Regarding Woodstock, there is no way that land is worth $8 million. I think it's pretty well established that venues are useless after the fact, no matter how much you wish to preserve them. A developer can get better land cheaper than that, considering it's not exactly next to a major city.

Outstanding. Thank you. It's a good thing Muraco did at least make the move to do the knee or it would have looked really bad on Dynamite's part. It's always interesting to see wrestlers, Orton in this case, improvise due to injury.

If you really want a thread that never ends, put ESPN in the title.

Ankiel's prospects are iffy. Those 32 home runs in AAA came along with a .314 OBP. It makes me wonder that if that's what he does against AAA pitchers, how much can big league pitchers exploit his swing? I'm pulling for him though.

Wrestlescale - Results You are slightly modern in your views about wrestling. You still have some traditional beliefs but you believe that the business must be more entertainment-based and must move away from the old and into the new.

To add to the Mike Bacsik trivia, he pitched to Barry Bonds when Bonds had 755 career home runs. His father, Mike Bacsik Sr., pitched to Hank Aaron as Aaron had 755 home runs as well.

He will. Many beloved players, Ted Williams the most prevalent, had poor reputations as active players.

Coldest game I ever attended was April 25, 2005, Red Barons against the Syracuse Chiefs in 45 degree weather. Bacsik started for the Barons against Francisco Rosario. Bacsik got us through the game in 1:56, a 4-1 victory. Also the fastest game I've ever been to. I've been a fan ever since.

Hank Aaron is a classy person. Little surprise there. Despite all the controversy, this is a legitimately incredible achievement.

The "favorite team" stuff was never funny. Knock it off.

One of those deals where the Von Erichs have been struggling to win a world title and Kerry finally wins it in front of I believe the biggest crowd WCCW ever drew in honor of his dead brother.

On my way out for the Scranton/Buffalo game, where hopefully we'll confirm or deny the Joba Chamberlain rumors. The pitching matchup is Kei Igawa vs. Jeremy Sowers.

Is it really necessary to use a spoiler tag to talk about a show in season seven?

Number six, Bonds hits the ball harder because his arm is heavier due to the elbowpad? Number one regards the hinges. It's not like your elbow itself has a myriad of directions it can turn. That aside because I'm not a mechanical mind, this is really nit-picking. 50-100 home runs? Is there ANY factual basis to that claim? The elbow-guard is allowed by Major League Baseball. Maybe it shouldn't be, but there is nothing preventing Bonds from wearing it. The only thing you can claim is that it allows Bonds (or any hitter) to stand in without worry. In any case, to use it to cast doubt on Bonds' achievement is silly. Babe Ruth used a corked bat sometime in the early 20s. If you want to cast doubt on Bonds because of the pad, you have to do the same to Ruth's record as well.

If you went to a house show and they hot-shot a title change, you think fans would sit on their hands?

I believe that's the Jimmy Hart battle royal.

No doubt experience comes into play. Brower is having an excellent season though, he's been just about automatic coming out of the bullpen this season. I don't think they're enthralled with Britton's conditioning. There is no other reason for him not to be in the majors as he already had a good season in Baltimore last year. But if you want a guy who doesn't flatten out the mound every time he pitches, that's a valid reason. Edwar left a bad impression his first time up. Hopefully he gets another shot because he's obviously too good for AAA. Brower's pitching great now though, and since he's a guy that has gotten the job done before in the majors, I think this is a solid move for the Yanks. As for Joba Chamberlain, I'd really like to see him stay in Scranton long enough to catch at least one pitching appearance. I don't know how wise it would be to call up a 21 year old kid to your bullpen who has only two games of experience in relief.

Rejoice, friend! Mike Myers DFA'd I did hear Sterling and Waldmin talking a few days ago that Joba was in New York getting his passport. Tomorrow, the Yankees are in Toronto... The AAA Yankees were in Ottawa last week, that's why.

At least you got rid of him. He's on Scranton now.

For Bored when he does the next thread. Throw Mythbusters in on the schedule. 9pm ET Wednesday they are tackling the National Pastime.

I've been going by my real name for years, never had a problem.
