EVIL~! alkeiper

When the weather clears up. F'n Poconos.

Yeah. Your reviews fit the cardinal rule, which is that the play by play is easily skippable so we can read the star ratings and bitch. Probably the history. Baseball has a million good stories behind it. I don't want to say the stats, but it's a game that is really quantifiable, it is much easier to break down and analyze than any other sport. It also helps that baseball in my region is so accessable. There are literally over a dozen teams within a two hour drive, most of whom charge less than $10 a ticket. For five months, it's great live entertainment on any night. Instead of working your schedule around it, you find which day you have free, THEN make plans.

The only thing that becomes a problem is overall lack of direction. We post at different folders, so disagreements never seem to come up.

Been meaning to do this for some time. Since most people here know me only for my sports posting, I'm opening up the field a bit. Everything you ever wanted to know about me, modding at TSM, or whatever.

Mole, stop talking.

The Orioles really should pick up Juan Uribe. They're kidding themselves if they are going to run with Luis Hernandez.

Merging threads since I think Czech will explode before long.

Yeah I know. Forums.thesmartmarks.com is serious business!

PPV roll call: Survivor Series '92 Starrcade '92 King of the Ring '93 Battlebowl '93 Royal Rumble '96 Royal Rumble '99 Wrestlemania 23 Royal Rumble 2008 Never saw a live PPV.

Absolutely not. Stealing accounts is still a serious issue, and she's openly antagonistic towards the board and posters as it is. She keeps coming back because she thrives on internet drama. At this point, her repeated attempts to hack the board are pathetic.

You can say the same in baseball. Westward expansion hurt them more than anything.

This week's episode has the Midnight Express against Ray Traylor and Phil Brown. It's interesting to see the Express beat the crap out of the guy who became their bodyguard later in the year.

What's this all about? I don't follow ECW or Smackdown all that much. They are participants in a battle royal at Wrestlemania, the winner to fight Chavo Guerrero for the ECW title that night.

I don't know about guys on minor league deals, but Jim Bullinger has to be the worst pitcher in recent memory to start Opening Day twice ('95 Cubs, '97 Expos). It would not be Steve Trachsel's first Opening Day start either, he started for the Cubs on Opening Day 1999.

Kent Tekulve is on pace to pitch 246 innings. At least my starting pitching held up this time.

I'm surprised Vince doesn't throw in Jerry Graham at the same time.

Colin Delaney vs. Chavo Guerrero. Gotta love that Colin actually looks bigger face to face.

I was already miffed that they declined to mention the game while Giese was pitching. He's just a NRI for the Yankees, but he pitched well over several seasons for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

On another note, I decided to check out VT's baseball alumni. No baseball stars, but Dell Curry (P, Orioles), Bimbo Coles (SS, Angels) and Michael Vick (OF, Rockies) were all drafted by MLB teams. None played minor league baseball.

Damnit Michael Kay, Giese is NOT pronounced "Geese."

Santino's amusing. That doesn't warrant a higher push or anything, he's perfectly fine in his role right now.

The steroids yes. I don't think HGH has the same type of injury rate.

I know this Yankees/VT game seemed like a good idea, but it's such a horrific mismatch on paper that it could get ugly. Damon walks on four pitches.

I'm pretty sure that Harlem Heat music is some kind of public domain/generic music.

I'm not a fan, but I don't see the point in bashing a niche sport with a smaller fan base.
