Cheech Tremendous

I didn't care for last night's episode. They could have done a lot more with a Britney themed episode.

The Nationals cut John Patterson today (probably due to his 7.00+ ERA this spring). I would guess that he catches on somewhere else, but when Washington is giving up on you your career might be in trouble.

UNC/Texas/UCLA/Kansas It's a boring year for brackets. Mrs. Tremendous, who has never seen a college basketball game in her life, has the same Final Four as well.

Okay, that may be so. I don't really know much about the board. In fact, I wasn't entirely sure what the Pit was until I went there today. It was just a little strange to see a bunch of people I don't know rip on me (I have no idea who Paul, dubs or any of those other guys are... Ana is obv. Leena).

Bizarro TSM indeed. There is something strangely compelling about a board made up of old, disenfranchised TSM posters discussing how bad TSM has gotten without them. Reading the mocking thread was surreal. Being mocked by a bunch of people I don't know for my contributions at a board they can't post at it is just too weird.

I haven't posted in the wrestling folder in years, keep in mind. Someone help poor Dustin from Iowa now in Beaverton! Also, check out his myspace blogs. He doesn't wear deodorant and is frustrated with the way people drive here. Ride a bike/take the MAX, you schmuck. Ah, he's in a wheelchair? Now I feel horrible for making fun of him.

I checked out the Pit for the first time today and that shit is fascinating.

Just a small point since your post was addressing ratings and what should receive coverage, but I recently read an article that stated those Who's Now segments were the highest rated on the station last year.

Granted, I'm not a Yankee fan, but I don't see what the outrage is. Who cares what the last event is? Does that in any way lessen the 80 years of history that have occurred at the stadium? Does anyone take the time to remember the last event at a major stadium? It's a trivia question and nothing else. Like if the Red Sox built a new stadium and the last event was a Billy Joel concert or something, I don't think I'd care at all.

Posters who hate me (that I know of): EHME - Calls me Screech and says I need to stop hating. Not really sure why though, as I don't give him 1/10 of the shit that others do twiztedmind - Sore at me for the whole WWE Champ/Oscar comments Jericho2000mark - Probably because I called him stupid for saying Tommy Lee Jones sucks Leena - I think it's because I like Al Keiper, but who knows with her. courtneywasmurdered - I honestly have no idea why he dislikes me The WWE Folder - Yeah, we all know why

Yeah, I belabored the point that MVP was much, much worse than Marvin on all levels. That may have caused me to lose favor with him. I've discovered that people don't like it when you call them terrible. I should do something about that. Okay, my TSM resolution for the rest of 2008 is to stop calling people terrible.

As courtneywasmurdered pointed out, it's impossible to ignore her. Trust me, I've tried. She shows up here every couple of days with a new account to bitch about us. How am I supposed to ignore that?

The good poster/bad poster question is by far the most interesting. It really gives insight into why some people post here and what they get out of the board. I guess I sometimes fail to realize that a message board is less about good/bad or more about taste and preference. I generally think KKC, treble and Czech are among the 5 or 10 best posters on the board. I can't fathom anyone not liking those guys. Probably why I was lumped in with them in the "bad" category.

But the $40,000 number isn't something cooked up by the team. It was the actual amount agreed upon when the team signed off on the trip last year and MLB was intending to renege on that agreement without informing anyone. The player's union went to bat for the Sox players, but there wasn't anyone to stand up for the lower tier coaches. Also, the $40,000 number does seem crazy, but I believe the intention was to provide the players/staff with enough additional money that they could bring their families to Tokyo for the week and enjoy the city and all it has to offer. It was also the amount given to the previous teams who made the trip. When you figure that MLB will make millions on the trip, $400,000 extra (for approximately 10 coaches) is just a drop in the bucket.

He's a natural fit for the Orioles and I'd assume that he ends up there. They probably figure that it's easier to wait and sign him after he clears waivers so that they don't get stuck with the $4.5 million bill.

Whoa, Czech bringing some heat. Don't fight, guys... this is what she wants

Really. If they aren't banning every poster who's been inactive for more than a year then I don't know what we have them for. Okay that's harsh, but we should delete those old accounts.

HBW is still posting

I re-nominate myself for mod. Or King. Or Dandy. Or Kinetic. Or someone who'll be around when this shit happens again.

It's a consequence free environment.

And now we get our third incarnation of this terrible gimmick today. HBW runnin' wild. This is so much fun.

QFT

The first show I ever ordered was Summerslam '88. I remember seeing Wrestlemania II and III, but I don't think we ordered them live. Probably watched them on tape. First and only one that I attended was Judgment Day 2001 at the Arco Arena (and it sucked).

I don't think that she will move on. Hell, she supposedly got married in the mean time and is still pulling this non-sense. Would it be that bad to just ler her back? It would probably make the poor girl's day.
