Howard probably just won the MVP with that homer come on Cubs!

ladder match You know I wouldn't mind seeing Shawn go over and have one last run with the title

First Cub no-hitter in 36 years

Ha Darrin Erstad the last out too!!

Go Zambrano I really hope the Cubs knock the Astros out of contention. I don't want to hear about what a great clubhouse they have and about the "veteran presence" of Brad Ausmus we had enough of that in 04/05

I love how the league gave the Browns multiple national TV games because of their supposed explosive offense and exciting style of play. They have scored 10 total points so far in nearly 6 quarters of football and generally look putrid

Met bullpen blows a 4-2 in the 9th to the Braves crushing loss Phils could cut the lead to 1 game tonight

Basically Pillman was (rightfully) getting paranoid about his career and his life in general and wanted one more big contract to make sure his children were safe if something happened to him. It was a whole elaborate plan to get big money. I believe Brian had 6 children from various women. It was an eerily accurate prediction on his part.

I was actually thinking about mentioning that in this thread. I tuned in last week and couldn't believe how skanked out she was. She looked pretty damn hot. Pretty surreal for anyone who remembers her starting out as a college football sideline reporter for NBC in the late 80s/early 90s

Word going around the Raw/SD Supershow tapings are that Shawn Michaels suffered triceps tear in the closing segment of the Raw taping. There should be more information soon. Credit: Pwinsider.com via 411 Terrible news as the program was just outstanding

ugly win but I'll take it. Defense was stellar. I can never hate Eli but he was the reason they didn't didn't score more points tonight. That pick was a play a rookie would make. He still makes those kind of plays but then he makes the big play that offsets it. He's just going to be a solid, slightly above average QB that you can win with. Plax and Jacobs were great. I was not impressed with Washington's offense at all. Campbell has not improved a bit the last 3 seasons. Again nice win but they have to play better than this if they want to make noise in the NFC again

I watched parts and was not impressed. The writing was not as crisp as the original. Totally agree. The show started when I was in 6th grade (1990) and the first season hooked me. It was a realistic show with compelling storylines that pre-teens/teens could relate to. That only lasted until about the 3rd season and then it became basically a night time soap opera. I tuned out about 1994 or so. But damn were those first 2 seasons (especially the first) good

a couple from the last few weeks There is a female radio host whose name escapes me right now who fills in for Jason Smith overnight from time to time. She's pretty clueless A few weeks ago she says "Brett Favre, 2 time Super Bowl champ landed in New York Saturday for his first practice" and last night "Greg Maddux, who has quietly fashioned himself a hall of fame career the past 20 years, tied Roger Clemens in wins tonight" Yes, no one has noticed Greg Maddux being one of the best pitchers of his generation. No one ever talked about him.

Hey a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th for a Met Reliever! And ben Sheets left the game after the 5th due to an apparent groin injury

Aaron Heilman walks 4 in the bottom of the 9th to lose the game against the Marlins. Also, Kyle Farnsworth has cleared waivers.

Good win but Luis Ayala is like pretty much everyone else in the Met bullpen. A junkballer who can't strike anyone out.

Torch/Rajah The primary reason Gail Kim left TNA for WWE was due to the significant discrepancy between the kind of money WWE offered her and what TNA offered her. According to multiple sources, Kim really didn't really want to leave TNA, but she felt she had no choice but to accept WWE's offer due to the massive difference in money. Despite being the most consistent TV ratings draws for the company, it appears that no matter how successful the female performers are for TNA, they're still not going to make much money, at least in comparison to the guys. The company still saw the top babyface in the division of what has become, from a television ratings standpoint, their most successful entity, as a low-budget expenditure. TNA offered their top female babyface star well under $100,000 per year, a figure that can only be met if she appears on a target number of shows, so if she gets hurt, she's not getting all the money. TNA's offer to Kim was said to be less than one-third of what WWE was offering - a six-figure downside guaranteed contract for three years. Also, Kim can potentially earn significantly more from appearing on pay-per-views and house shows, not to mention merchandise such as action figures. Additionally, TNA's lackluster offer to Kim probably doesn't bode well for the other girls in the company when their respective contracts come up considering that the top star couldn't even get a six figure offer. Kim's friends had to talk her into leaving for WWE due to her strong sense of loyalty and happiness with TNA. While Kim loved TNA as well as her friends in the company, she couldn't justify not taking the significantly better offer from WWE. One friend of Kim said she really had no choice but to go for the financial security that only WWE can provide. One TNA source disappointed in her decision said she chose to be unhappy for more money rather than stay happy with the smaller company that made her a star. There was said to be a huge void backstage at this week's Impact tapings as a number of her friends couldn't believe she was gone, especially without saying goodbye before she left. One friend of Kim's with knowledge of TNA's apparent lowball offer deemed it to be "insulting" and "possibly sexist." Also, Kim couldn't risk getting hurt or being jobbed out once her decision to leave TNA was made.

Well first place again for at least one day. SNY killing Charlie Manuel postgame. I do think it was questionable for him to not bring in Lidge to face Delgado in the 8th. And I really don't know why he Intentionally walked Church either. I'll take it though

blowing a 7-0 lead

won't need him

I had no idea Dustin was Goldust until I read it in PWI in October of 95'.

Aaron Heilman in. Game should be over soon

Rey is the replacement

Josh Matthews on RAW!!!

well that was a unique finish
