Joe Randa is really my backup 3B to Eric Chavez. I have him in the IF just because hes the best IF that I had that wasn't starting. With Nevin, Im hoping that he is either healthy or that Konerko has a rebound season. Jay Gibbons isn't mediocre either. He improved his average and RBIs last year. He'll hit around .280/.330 OBP with close to 30 HR and 110 RBI, especially with the improvements to the offense that were made ahead of him. And this isn't the Oriole "homer" in me talking either. About the only thing that I could say bad about him is his fielding but fielding stats dont count in this league. Im figuring on Burnitz thriving at Coors field. If he can hit 30+ HR then Im happy since I had to take a short on the HRs to pickup Crawford for SBs. As far as my bullpen, I dont know what to expect from Koch, but as it stands hes lined up for the Closer role and hes supposedly doing well in ST. I did probably draft Julio out of homer-dom, but he has 61 saves over the last 2 years although last year was certainly not a great year in any other terms besides his 36 saves.

I guess this is why HHH can't go to Smackdown to replace Lesnar.

I felt it all the way back last year when they started hyping Wrestlemania in like, May with the Wrestlemania Recalls and stuff. There is no way that they could effectively hype WM XX up for almost a year and it not be a disappointment in some shape or fashion. I would order it if it were $35, but $50 is a lot considering the DVD will probably be $25.

I guess I read your first post a bit wrong. I dont think they should kill off the cruiserweight division on Smackdown. If anything they could make it better by moving guys like the Hurricane and Spike Dudley over to Smackdown.

Rhyno vs Cena was nothing. Heyman rallying the troops in the back was pretty dumb. At one point he said something along the lines of "we're going to show Austin that he doesn't mess with Paul Hey..we're going to show Austin that he doesn't mess with Smackdown". Jamie Noble had a No Way Out shirt on, I dont know why. HOF Video, you've seen it before. Chavo Jr and Chavo Sr come down for commentary for Noble/Mysterio. Chavo Jr is upset about having to defend the title vs the Top 9 contenders. The singles portion goes a little over 3 minutes before all hell broke loose. Chavo senses that all of the Japanese Wrestlers in the CW open will work together against him. Announced that it will be an 8 man match and then we get a commercial. Joined back in progress with Tajiri and Ultimo in the ring. Commentary gets very distracting from the match (camera cuts to the announce table several times) for no reason. Cole eventually agrees to shut up for the rest of the match. Chavo Sr starts talking in spanish. All of this is during an extended duration of Funaki getting beat on, and then he finally makes the tag to Mysterio. Some distracting and backfired interference by the Chavos lead to Rey getting the pin. 8 man went about 7 minutes (so about 10 total for the cruisers). Shannon Moore runs down and beats up Mysterio, Nunzio runs down and kicks Chavo Jr. out of the ring. Austin is in the Arena, and where else would he be besides the beer stand and Heyman runs off to find him. Commercial break. "Last week" video package on the events between Eddy/Angle/Heyman. I dont know if Its new or not, but Eddy has different music..its now "I lie, I cheat, I steal" instead of "We lie,cheat and steal". If its not new I just didnt notice it. Eddy says hes the only WWE champion ever that encourages lying, cheating and stealing. Crowd was dead for the most part and then an "Eddy Eddy Eddy" chant got started. Some guy yelled "Kurt sucks" and Eddy said "thats right". Eddy and Shelton go for about 2 minutes, then Eddy knocks Shelton out of the ring, Charlie Haas gets up on the apron and Eddy knocks him off and then Nick Patrick orders Haas back to the lockeroom as we go to commercial break. After the break, the match continues. Charlie Haas eventually comes back down to interfere but that backfires and Eddy gets the pin off the frog splash in a nice match, although a bit short. Torrie/Sable in Las Vegas at some Playboy Party. Yippee. Backstage, no one can find Austin. Orlando Jordan walks in and they have their talk, probably the most talk time Jordan has had in a year. Big Show vs 2 Jobbers already in the ring.One is in short gold tights and one is in long black tights. Neither gets their name mentioned. Show tosses Gold Tights around and slams Black Tights. Show puts a sleeper on Gold Tights and then chokeslams Black Tights for the pin. Cena runs in and attacks show, kicking him out of the ring and taking the US title. Commercial. Taker/Kane promo (revenge is a dish best served DEAD) WGTT makes fun of APA last week.. Heyman is thanking someone as he finds the APA who are standing in front of the doors. The APA going after the Tag Titles is good for Smackdown according to Heyman. Bashams vs Scotty/Rikishi non title. Nothing offensive, nothing special. Lesnar/Goldberg/Austin video and then we see that Austin's truck is gone...where'd it go?? Commercial Kane gets haunted at RAW recap PPV lineup time Heyman leads the Smackdown talent out The talent lines up on both sides of the aisle as we go to break waiting to see if Austin shows. Rock/Sock vs Evolution promo.. Heymans in the ring..blah blah blah, Brock Lesnar comes out on the ATV. Lesnar gets "what"ed by the crowd. Lesnar begs Austin to come and get it....weird pause, Brock asks again, and again, and then Austin drives up in the truck. Odd staredown with Billy Gunn and Palumbo who are the first two to greet Austin. They let him by, then Albert and Rey back off. Big Show is the only one to actually stand in Austins way and give him a bit of a staredown (or up in Austins case) but Show eventually gives in and encourages Austin to go after Lesnar as he leads the rest of the roster back to the locker room. Staring contest ensues between Lesnar and Austin with Austin faking trying to get in the ring and Lesnar stomping the mat but missing. Austin takes the ATV and drives it about 1/2 down the aisle and stops and gets off and then they got at it. Austin pretty much takes Lesnar to the woodshed so to speak, raming him into the pole which busts Lesnar open. Austin rolls lesnar in the ring and stunners Heyman. Lesnar is able to get up and tries to F-5 Austin which is countered into a Stunner which is countered and Lesnar rolls out of the ring. More staring at a distance between the two, as we see Lesnar is busted open, Austins music hits and he gets on his ATV and rides it around the ring, almost running over Paul Heyman, and then loads his ATV up on his truck. Tazz asks what Austins doing with the ramps in the back of his truck (stupid much?) and then Austin celebrates on top of his truck. End of show. Compared to RAW, this show was a lot better but it was still very lackluster. Best match is Eddy/Shelton, the Cruisers get 10 minutes total, although 7 of that is the 8 man and most of that was unenjoyable because of the commentary. Worst match is obviously the Big Show Handicapped match, I don't even know why they bothered with having a match.

Well, if the women didn't do anything to their bodies, then no there probably wouldn't be any womens matches. But I don't think that making a comparison between steroids and implants is a fair comparison, although on a technical level its pretty much the same thing.

I couldn't think of a good name. Im not crazy just in march though so, its the first thing I thought of.

No, theyd ask you to come back and accept your punishment in July by getting dunked in a horse tank.

I just have the original Bliss desktop with the Bliss screensaver. I have a completely clean desktop though (no icons) so it looks nice.

I went ahead and took it upon myself to start up a Yahoo Tournament Bracket League like we did last year. ID #: 13646 Group Name: TSM March Madness Group Password: zing First 50 people to sign up are in.

You are making me just weep from the inside, you know that? Unless Pogo The Monkey suddenly bitchslaps Fear The Slayers into submission or your team goes absolutely bananas and steals at least four series, I'm fucked out of the playoffs. Damn you, why the hell don't you have a better team WHY?! Some of my best players are on the floor tonight. Juwan Howard is the only other Magic player in double figures with 14 points and 15 Rebounds, Marcus Camby has 12 rebounds, Baron Davis has 18 points. If theres any good news is that White Tigers is inactive and didn't start 2 players (4 of 6) and I've got all 6 spots going tonight. But none of that is gonna match 20/37 FG 17/26 FT 5/14 3's for 62 points 10 rebounds and 5 assists for T-Mac I think hes out of the game, but Im not sure. Theres still like :30 to go and the Magic are only up 7.

Damn the Wizards suck. T-Mac might have 70+ by the end of the game at this rate (61 with 3+ min to go)

Just to show how much luck Im having, T-Mac has 53 points for the White Tigers including 5 3 pointers and 10 FT. I have no real chance of even beating White Tigers now at this rate. Make that 55 points and theres still 7 minutes to play..

I'll agree with Vince here and say that no one will watch an all Cruiser Show. Oh wait, Vince hadn't said anything yet.. Vince : No one will watch a show with nothing but Cruiserweights on it.

I didnt want to trade Andruw Jones and Im not real interested in pitching so the trade wasn't appealing to me.

You do know there is a consolation tourney? Right? And that by being 7th, you have a chance at winning that. No one goes WHOOO! for beating a bunch of inactive teams and winning a 7th place consolation bracket.

Im willing to bet he'll be back by the end of the year after he gets cut in training camp by whatever team in the NFL takes a chance on him (if hes actually serious about going after an NFL career).

What are the odds on HHH going to Smackdown?

Am I the only one that can imagine vince secretly going: "He'll be back...they always come back.." *evil laugh to himself*

I figure Id just update the original topic and say that the negotiations between Viacom and Dish Net. are supposedly close but its still iffy.

I choose the 2nd option.

My team has just about fallen apart, so I've pretty much given up hope of making the playoffs, I just want to finish 7th and keep this "so close but not quite" streak going.

I have Andruw, and while Im not that willing to trade him, I did propose an offer that might work if you want HRs.

and we thought RAW Sucked.

I'll just save everyone else the trouble. You wasted 100 bucks.
