EVIL~! alkeiper

AWA and Jim Crockett had a loose working agreement around that time. Besides that, I think if you are going to book Martel/Hansen to be a short match, you can't make it the main. I intend to ask this question later but might as well now. Did any other wrestling show have as many Hall of Famers?

Longshot, but if it happens columnists around the country need to line up and kiss Ed Wade's ass.

That four game series this weekend sure looms large. Brewers @ Citizens Bank Park. Last night they made a point that the Mets have two off days this week. That is true, but after Thursday the Mets have no days off the rest of the season. I think the point is a bit overwrought though. With 40 man rosters, there is no reason that players need to be overworked.

I'd rather Rays/Red Sox, but it's not like Phillies/Marlins is a nothing matchup. I'm currently watching the game live on stupid gamecast. I'd rather watch a big 3 game series for the AL East lead than Phillies/Marlins where the Marlins are 8 games out. Especially since they always seem to do this. We have FSN: Florida and FSN: SunHD, two different channels, with the same feed of Phillies/Marlins. Honestly, would you expect the SD and HD channels to show completely different programming? My big screwjob comes this weekend. Fox has Phillies and Mets in separate matchups. I have Fox affiliates in New York City and Scranton available. Watch both pick up the same game.

I'd rather Rays/Red Sox, but it's not like Phillies/Marlins is a nothing matchup. I think it's decided in advance though. ION (whatever that is) has tonight's game.

Phillies prize pack.

The problem with Kiniski is they blew the spot at the end. He had to get involved because the former champ usually needed some sort of out or controversy. As a referee, well, he was a much greater wrestler.

I wouldn't really be interested in a Rick Rude dvd. Ted DiBiase had nice matches but few great ones, and what would you put in the documentary? He was too nice behind the scenes to make anything truly interesting. I'm surprised they haven't done a true Andre the Giant dvd yet. He had an interesting life, they have tons of footage now from the territories, and he's recognizable even to non fans.

The next home run to leave the park is #250,000. Sheffield, Ordonez and Bay so far tonight. EDIT: And it's Gary Sheffield, with his 2nd of the night! EDIT 2: From the Phillies' Stump the Fans Page Sweet!

I missed the AWA show the first time around, really looking forward to seeing it and getting a copy. The HHH dvd is good, as it's a rare one that I did not buy. Yankees at MSG. Any clue about this one?

And the Simpsons rerun is the Mark McGwire cameo!!

That Backlund/Patera match was the first WON Match of the Year in 1980.

I like the subtitle idea myself. Despite last night's loss, good series from the Phillies to take two of three from the Mets. The Mets though took the season series 11-7. They outplayed the Phillies and if they go on to win the division at this point, good for them. Red Sox/Rays kick off tonight for a three game series. Rays have a 1.5 game lead, so only a sweep will knock them entirely out of first place.

Ugh. Let's please not start up this unclutch nonsense again. And for what it's worth, Hamels won his last 2007 start, a win over the Nationals that put the Phillies in first place for the first time. He pitched eight shutout innings and struck out 13.

Hamels sure shit the bed today. Intentional walk to Brian Schneider with two outs. If you don't trust your ace to get Brian F'n Schneider out, you really should just throw in the towel.

Phillies need to pull their shit together and keep this close.

AND after. He came off the bag.

Yeah, awarding first base is the rule on a catcher's interference. And now the Phillies hosed on another call. Jesus.

Agreed. Someone feel free to start one.

It's 8:04. Why the FUCK is ESPN still showing Football highlights?

It's cool. Keeping an eye on Pawtucket/Scranton. Phil Hughes has struck out nine in seven innings with no runs, Bartolo Colon has a two-hit shutout going. Hughes' fine performance is perhaps a ray of hope for the Yankees (in 2009 of course).

Orioles are now 20 games out of the wild card. If they won every single Sunday, they would STILL not be in first place. Meanwhile, the Yankees trail the Mariners 4-2. A loss will drop them into fourth place in the AL East. Boston/Tampa Bay kicks off next week. Tampa will go in leading by a game and a half.

You asked last time too. Regarding the Cubs, making the playoffs is really all that matters. We've seen the '00 Yankees, the '05 White Sox and '06 Tigers look like crap down the stretch and immediately start kicking ass in the postseason. They are still the class of the National League. Tonight we have Phillies/Mets on ESPN, Cole Hamels and Johan Santana on the mound. A tie for first place on the line. This is what pennant race baseball is all about.

The only real issue with the Babe/Race matches is who owns the footage. Isn't it property of All Japan?

Thankfully the guys on Savage's team had a bigger beef with Honky (particularly Steamboat and Roberts).
