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.

The right choice, IMO. He was the best pitcher for the majority of the season, until he fell off a bit in September. Carp 132 votes WIllis 112 Votes Clemens 40 votes

There's no doubt Rey is over, and sells merch, but what's the positive to making him the champ? When is the last time Rey won a non-Cruiserweight division match without "lucking out"? He's never been portrayed in a way where his matches look like anything but flukes or flash pins where he stuns someone because he's not a technical wrestler and can't overpower anyone. I just find his act tiring because it's the same match all the time. He would get murdered on the mic by the better speakers on SD (which incidentally are the main heels and Eddie), and aside from "realizing his boyhood dream" I don't see any benefit to giving him the title, or even worse, letting him hold it for a lengthy period of time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They don't have too many options though. JBL was one of the worst champions they ever had financially, so he's not a viable choice really. Orton is just a diaster in the waiting. The best ones choices, I believe, are Rey, Benoit and Eddie. The other two have been explored and both were marginally successful. Rey is an unknown, but it is worth the risk. I think the upside potential is worth the chance that he could be a failure. Worst comes to worst, they could take the title off him ASAP.

When was this? All I saw him do earlier this year was barely elevate himself despite beating Eddie at least a half dozen times in a row. I don't think you can book a ~5'3 160 pound babyface World Champion in McMahon world. It just doesn't make sense even with SD having the smaller roster as a whole. I think seeing 18 'ranas per match, running through every larger guy's legs and that bullshit pin of his where the opponent has to raise their legs so he can hook them would get tiring by week 3 of his run as THE guy on a show. I don't think little Rey burying his opponents in the ring would be the way to book themselves out of this hole, especially given his practically non-existent mic skills. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but Rey is real popular amongst kids, a big demographic. Rey is also a great worker, and is probably the most over wrestler on the roster right now. And you don't have to book the "Lucking out" route to win matches. It's not like there's monsters on the SmackDown roster right now that will be getting any important title matches (PPV to be more specific)

TO could come to Oakland.

"Don't trust them new niggers .....OVER THERE" Excellent first episode. Regina King doing the voice for Huey is suspect, but whatever.

You don't mean Hayabusa's paralyzing injury, do you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Those were two different things.

That's nothing. Try being a women's tennis fan where every pre-teen is hyped to the moon. It gets rather annoying. Not to mention how it's messed up tons of heads. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There were scouts coming to Kenny Anderson games when he was in the 6th grade.

Money aside (And if the Mets and Red Sox involved it can't be but so much more money), I don't see why he'd sign with the Yankees. He'd just be Rivera's set up man for the next 3-4 years.

I hope the Cardinals don't re-sign Matt Morris (Unless he's EXTRA cheap) or Tavarez. I'd try to move Marquis and a prospect for an outfielder, and sign another outfielder through free agency. Walker is done. Reggie is old too. I would leave the infield the same. Rotation I'd like Chris Carpenter Mark Mulder Jeff Suppan Kevin Millwood Anthony Reyes The owner says he's putting about 15 million more on the payroll for this season.

"How can they be the Nigga 4 Life crew, With a white Jew tellin them what to do..." RIP NWA. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Aiyo Dre, stick to producing"

My top 5 in order No Vaseline - Ice Cube to NWA Real Mahfuccin Gz - Eazy Em BG Knocc, Dresta to Death Row Bitch In Yoo - Common to Ice Cube Dollars and Sense - Dj Quik to MC EIHT Ether - Nas to Jay-Z

No Vaseline. No diss track in history is equal in terms of humor, facts, and overall damaging of a rap/rap group ever. He verbally molested NWA for 5 minutes. Unfuckwitable.

Jail?

You obviously have never listend to the dude. He never has been and isn't now a terrible MC. He had a terrible album. Still tearing it up on mixtapes and such. Oh, and Game did say on the radio the other day that Dr. Dre is working with him on his next album. I don't even think it has anything to do with siding. 50 is forgetting that no matter WHAT he does, Dre is going to get paid off of him and all of G-Unit. Severing ties with game is still taking money out of his pocket. Plus, he is a rap vet, so who is 50 to tell him who the fuck he BETTER not work with. Dre obviously likes the game (He is the one that signed him, not 50) and Game showed his loyalty and gratitude for that when he put his ass on the line to diss Suge Knight not long after Dre signed him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Come on man, even if I didn't want to listen to Eminem, I'd have to. When his albums come out, his videos are all over TV and the radio. And there's nothing you can tell me about Eminem. I was a big fan from 1997 when he invented the Slim Shady character and was rapping with Thirston Howl the III and the Outsidaz, all the way until 2002. In retrospect, now when I listen this his older music (When he was supposedly one of the best), I'm just not impressed. When I compare that to say Nas, or Ras Kass, or KRS-One, it just doesn't add up. He gets a lot of praise cause his mutli-syllabic rhyme scheme is very impressive. What he says to me, isn't. Especially right now. Right now he's just terrible. All the fake thug nonsense is just laughable. So to recap.. In his prime, he was good, but very overrated in retrospect. Right now, he's unlistenable to me. And Dr. Dre will side with Game if he has to. Dre doesn't need 50 Cent. Dre was set for life before 50 Cent picked up a mic.

Eminem is a terrible MC right now. And even in his prime he was overrated (I'm not for that corny ass loony raps that he spit. I can't understand how someone smart enough to tie their shoes can like that shit). Dr. Dre will go with Game cause he's from the West Coast.

Anyone else hear about FYE having an extra disc of Bret Hart's DVD?

If he got out the car, they would have probably killed him. They don't play out in DC. Their murder game is ridiculous.

Using your hate for a genre of music to wish death on people = NOT GOOD. You should be ashamed of yourself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hate rap? Really? Are you making my decisions now? Cam'ron just sucks. It doesn't hurt to phase them out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ahh Cam'ron is dope as hell. Now the rest of Dip Set........

Does Brandon Backe's mic'ed up segments annoy anyone else? I want to bitch slap him.

It would be cool to see Orel H. as their manager.
