EVIL~! alkeiper

Nope, just Wilson Betemit. On a side note, what prompts a person to ask on a message board when they could check live box scores from four or five websites?

Looks like the real Cubs are back, just in time.

So the White Sox score 8 in the 2nd and the Yankees respond with eight runs in the bottom? God damn.

Mediocre. I can't quite explain why, but the movie wasn't terribly funny or memorable.

Well a bridge collapses while they have the funds to build a new stadium to replace the one built all the way back in 1982. You have to admit that doesn't look good.

That's Don Mossi, who pitched in the 1950s and '60s. Quite possibly the ugliest player in MLB history.

I hate whodunit's because the story always meanders until it reaches some random conclusion designed not to make sense, but to surprise viewers. The big problem IMO is that there are no hot programs whatsoever running right now.

"Officials believe structural collapse to blame for Minneapolis Bridge Disaster," says MSNBC. Well duh.

The record for three consecutive games by the way is 16, set by the 1977 Red Sox.

It's 14. http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1999/B09040PHI1999.htm http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1999/B09050PHI1999.htm

It was In Your House #4 with Davey Boy vs. Diesel in the main event, and the Dean Douglas/Clique IC title nonsense. Summerslam '94 won the poll.

The Kerry/Flair match, that's Chris Von Erich in the ring afterwards, the short brother. Correct?

The WCW Battle Royal is from Road Wild '99, Snow/Bossman is the match from Summerslam '99. The Monday Night Wars features the ECW invasion this week. JYD/Bulldog vs. Hart Foundation, JYD subbed for Dynamite Kid in the match due to Kid's back injury. JYD/Funk aired as part of the MSG show several months ago.

My understanding is that the concern from scouts is that Melky will grow out of the ideal build for a center fielder, and his bat does not project for him to play well enough to play in a corner outfield slot. Chris Wheeler noted Chris Roberson stole his first career MLB base, which is false. Roberson stole three last year. Roberson is also a big wrestling fan.

Best I have on this one is a linescore, but it speaks for itself. June 15, 1925 CLE A 0 4 2 2 4 2 1 0 0 - 15 24 PHI A 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 13 x - 17 19 WP: Tom Glass LP: George Uhle HRs: Al Simmons, Joe Sewell, Glenn Myatt The victimized Cleveland pitchers were Jake Miller, By Speece, Carl Yowell and George Uhle. The game was one of two pitched by Glass that season. Had the save rule existed at the time, Rube Walberg would have earned one. Joe Sewell's home run was his only home run of the season.

The Rangers score 16 insurance runs.

Shane Victorino and Michael Bourn both land on the 15 day DL. Damn it.

A part of me says I hope not, since I haven't gotten to see him pitch yet. I can tell you he's been kind to fans, for what it's worth.

1/1/1983 would be the Flair/Kerry cage match show I would believe. We'll see. Two Kerry/Flair matches actually this month, as the shorties match should be the Texas Stadium title change.

Will Startup and his karate delivery are on their way to the Padres along with Wil Ledezma for Royce Ring.

How exactly does that work? Nothing nefarious. The deadline is for reporting trades to the league, not the media.

You'll hear some trades announced after the deadline.

The Padres acquired Rob Mackowiak from the White Sox for an unnamed minor leaguer.

Going to chat trade deadline live in the Sports chatroom for the next hour or so.

I really like the Betemit deal for the Yankees. Proctor's a middle reliever who had his only good season last year at age 29. Betemit's a very good young player who's actually having his best year at the plate after a horrid start.
