So are the Deltas gonna sue DDP?

They tried to make the Booker/HHH angle seem non-racist on the pre WM show, when Triple H was being interviewed and said "When I said you people, I wasn't talking about black people". Then he had a couple humorous jokes towards Michael Cole and the audience. Pretty lame, imo.

http://nodq.com/wwe/135652687.shtml Former WWE Superstar Diamond Dallas Page recently filed a federal lawsuit against rapper Jay-Z for trademark infringement. The "Diamond Cutter" hand symbol has been being used by Jay-Z on some of his products some including CD covers entitled "The Dynasty: Rock La Familia 2000" and "Jay-Z Fade To Black" DVD, which was released this past April. When Dallas Page was in WCW back in 1996, its when he was first using the hand signal. Since that time he has been using it professionally for his wrestling and entertainment ventures. On the cover of Page's new book, "Yoga For Regular Guys" it also features the symbol. The hand symbol is kind of like a logo to him, hence the lawsuit.

Apparently the Mets want to free up money for Javier Vasquez.

When was this? Around late 99. Then they said it was some "College slut" or something on SmackDown.

Good shit, thanks.

Wasn't there supposedly an "Invisible" wrestler in the late 70s in the Florida region? I heard about this before, not sure how true it is.

That powerbomb hurt my back. Got damn.

If the WWE wanted to make things interesting, they'd have Orton win the belt Tuesday. Lose the belt to the Undertaker at the December PPV, and set up him vs. Batista at WM.

That was so bad, it was funny. It's like became a caricature of himself

Some of the recents ones have been downright putrid, and are easily on the same level as some bad Nitro's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know if they were that bad, but there have definitely been Raws as bad as the worst Nitros. Some Raws in 1999 were beyond atrocious.

About time.

Akinyele - Put It In My Mouth q

Why is it that people buy this logic for Ortiz, and not for Rodriguez? Without A-Rod, who would the Yankees have played at third instead? Russ Johnson? The Yankees had more hitting threats outside of A-Rod? The Red Sox led the league in runs scored, so they were not exactly lacking themselves. The Yankees' best bench bat was Rey Sanchez. Think about that for a moment. In truth, none of this is really relevant to the issue. Coming up with arguments like what the team would be like without a certain player really clouds what should be a clear argument, and places more emphasis on teammates than on the player themselves. The purpose of the MVP is to identify the best player in the league. Anything else is either someone reading WAY too far into a literal translation of the word valuable itself, or (more commonly) is looking for ways to prop up their candidate when statistics have failed. Hitting. Alex Rodriguez had a higher batting average, higher On Base Percentage, and higher slugging percentage. Moreover, A-Rod did this while playing his home games in Yankee Stadium, a considerably harder park to hit in than did David Ortiz. Defense. Alex Rodriguez played 161 games at third base, and three at shortstop. Ortiz played ten games at first base. While at third base, Rodriguez helped his team win by turning balls in play into outs. This is not an argument that Ortiz had it easier by not playing defense. The point is that defense itself adds value to a ballclub. Baserunning. Ortiz had one steal. Rodriguez had 21 steals in 27 tries. Also, Rodriguez grounded into eight double plays compared to 13 for Ortiz. So you have a candidate who loses out on the three major categories. How do we close the gap. Clutch hitting of course! Ortiz had lots of clutch hits, since we all watch Sportscenter. One often repeated fact is that Ortiz had 20 home runs that either tied the game or put his team ahead. They never mention A-Rod's performance. He had a paltry 19 such home runs. But here is what really surprised me. Ortiz, Mr. Clutch, had nine intentional walks. A-Rod, the guy who's not clutch, had eight intentional walks. Ortiz gets pitches to hit in crucial situations because Manny Ramirez bats behind him. I just don't see where Ortiz's clutch performance gives him the edge over everything else. People love to use clutch to prop up their candidates for lack of better evidence. It's not working here. Ortiz is a fine hitter, and a worthy number two. He's not A-Rod. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree with almost everything here. The one thing is, that stat about homeruns to put his team ahead or tie, is NOT why people think Ortiz is clutch. Those hits could come in the 2nd inning. It's the fact that he gets big hits in late innings far more then anyone in recent memory. And his big hits in the post season last year.

Ron Killings got the clean pin for 3LK. At the end of the match Kip Celebrated with 3LK and apparently made up with Konan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks.

who won?

Yep. This is very surreal right now. I can't even fathom this right now. I'm at a loss.

In moving to the quiet and safety of “The Boondocks”-a.k.a. suburban Woodcrest-it’s Granddad’s hope that he can ignore his rambunctious grandkids and enjoy the fourth quarter of his life in peace. But Huey, a 10-year-old leftist revolutionary, and his 8-year-old misfit brother Riley don’t adapt to the new environment as well as expected. Although the boys torture each other and provoke the neighborhood, they are no match for Granddad, who is eccentric even by “crazy-ass-old-black-man” standards.

On ESPN Breaking News they're saying Javier Vazquez asked the DiamondBacks to trade him.

[Coach Parcells discusses how he got the nickname ''Tuna'' at a 1997 press conference.] Bill Parcells: I think it goes back to my first time with the Patriots. There was an old commercial from StarKist with Charlie the StarKist tuna. So my players were trying to con me on something one time, and I said, 'You must think I'm Charlie the Tuna,' you know, a sucker, and that's kind of how it started. We started with it that year and [Charlie and the other fish] used to wear those little tuna helmets, you know, tuna pictures on their helmets. That's where it all started.

And horrible food...

What should the Cardinals do with their outfield now that Larry Walker is retired and Reggie Sanders looks like he's on his way out? Should they re-sign Matt Morris and/or Julian Tavarez? (The answer is maybe and hell no, just to help you)

No it isn't. Regular ERA is overrated in certain aspects. Adjusted ERA is a better component to use for evaluating a pitcher. And neither is the top stat while looking at pitchers. And wins are...blah...almost nothing to me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm speaking more of commonly used stats... I know Al can post the many formulas there are out there. Besides, adjusted ERA would only further help Clemens, I would think, since Minute Maid is a launching pad. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh yeah, I know. I'm just saying And Chris Carpenters final stats are a little misleading, cause he was easily better than Willis for the majority of the season. And Carpenter was better than Pettitte too. Chris' fall off at the end (For whatever reason, which I lean towards boredness and experimenting, considering how well he pitched in the playoffs) is why his whip and ERA are higher and his K/bb ratio went down a bit, same with BAA and OPSA. For most of the season his era was around 2.20, WHIP under 1, and BBA was around .220, and K rate was close to 9 per 9 innings.
