    -How the mighty of fallen for Kerry Wood. Whatever you blame it on, the fact that he's mopping up the potential final game of this series as his only appearance in the series is quite sad.

     

    -How does that decision to take Zambrano out of Game 1 look now with three outs to go before Game 1 turns out to be the LAST game Carlos played in 2007.

     

    -Sorry, but the song 99 Bottles of Beer comes to mind right now...

     

    99 Years without a Championship on the wall

    99 long gut wrenching years...

     

    Okay, no more taunting lyrics.

    BTW, congrats Phillies and congrats to your 2007 NL MVP, Jimmie F'N Rollins. You did it, you have now replaced Chipper Jones as the most hated Met rival.

     

    Nothing else needs to be said about this matter.

     

    Well that and I truely want to see the Golden Jubliee celebration next year at Wrigley!

    I never understood the point of buying a shirt now. What if they win a World Series and you wasted money on a shirt that merely indicates they won the division?

     

    If you like to collect stuff like that sure, (and I am one of them) you buy all of the shirts. The division, league pennant AND the World Championship.

    Am I the only person in the universe that's about ready to kill the next person on ESPN(or NFL network, too) who verbally fellates Brett Favre by saying that there's no way you can possibly hate him(fuck you, Berman)? I know the man's about to break Marino's TD record and the Packers are undefeated so far, but goddamn, this shit has just been too much these past couple of weeks as I can't watch *anything* on either network without them having to talk about Brett fucking Favre.

     

    Not to mention there is a great case that can be made that Favre is OVERRATED as a "great winner" since he only won the one time, and lost the second time and hasn't been back since. Jim Kelly has taken more teams to the Super Bowl than Farve did and Craig Morton has taken the same amount of teams to the Super Bowl as Farve has! Not to mention Jim Plunkett's 2-1 record and Joe Theismann's 1-1 record as well.

     

    Oh sure he is a future HOFer, and certaintly I'll take him over all 4 of the QB's I mentioned (easily over Morton, Theismann and Plunkett, Kelly there can be a debate about), but to put him in the same conversation as one of the all-time greatest winners in sports history, let alone the NFL, as so many "pundits" tend to is overstating what Farve has accomplished in his career.

     

    Not to mention that it is clear proof that in the media's eyes once you win A RING in the NFL you are "bulletproof" regardless of what came before or comes after winning your ring. So Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger can never win another postseason game the rest of their careers will be listed among the great "winners" in NFL history just because of their one championship ring.

    I like how JR alternates between calling Shelton and Lashley "the Greatest Pure Althlete in the WWE" every week.

     

    HA! That goes with annoucers calling virtually every pairing of normal singles wrestlers as "the best tag team in the WWE" One such was X-Pac and Road Dogg after the split of the NAO! :lol:

    What's the deal with the Yankees having an insane celebration when their $200 million team barely squeaked into the wild card? Yeah, making the playoffs is an accomplishment, but the whole thing seems misguided. I wouldn't call this season a story of success.

     

    There was a hilarious argument last night on BBTN with Ravech and I believe Dusty Baker. After they cut away from the Yankees/Rays feed, complete with Brian Kay (?) deeming this season a story of perseverance and courage, Ravech wondered aloud, with a $200 million budget, whether it should rather be labeled a season of underachieving.

     

    Baker then retorted "You can't call it a underachieving season. Their pitchers, early on in the season, were pitching terribly."

     

    What I would pay to have a camera on Ravech's face after that. Ravech just sighed and moved on to the next segment after that exchange.

     

    That's hilarious.

     

    I heard something similar on some ESPN show a few weeks back. One of their analysts was saying that this year might be Joe Torre's finest work as a manager because he took a team that no one thought could compete (really...?) and kept them in the race all year. According to this dolt, the Yankees were in a clear rebuilding mode this year and weren't expected them to make a run at the playoffs.

     

    It was too much for me to handle. I had to turn the channel.

     

    What is the purpose of even making an argument like that? And yeah, show me ANYONE who actually thought the Yankees were going to suck real bad this year?

    Steinbrenner? Didn't dude get suspended/banned from the league and the day to day operations of the Yankees in the 80s?

     

    He was suspended from 1990 to 1993 for paying someone to try to find dirt on Dave Winfield. I sure as hell wouldn't want to work for the guy, but a fan couldn't ask for a better owner. He spends money on the team, fields a winner, hires competent front office people and shows respect for the team's history. What more could you want?

     

    To most Yankee haters, and even Yankee fans (don't forget he pretty much ruined the Yanks from 82 to his suspension because he pretty much had free reign and didn't really have a soild baseball guy telling him no) he probably should be listed among the worse.

     

    -Being the reason for "The Evil Empire"

    -Being a liar, cheater, and all around egotistical piece of turd

    -Don't forget he was suspended in the 70s for using funds to illegaly fund Nixon's campaign or something like that

    -Essentially he is the Vince McMahon...check that, Mr. McMahon (he's more like the character version of Vince than the real Vince) of MLB

     

    Believe me, there will be many people who will be overjoyed and poping champange bottles when he finally passes.

    To clarify, DiBiase held the WWF North American title, which predated the current IC title. He lost it to Pat Patterson, who later on won the fictional IC tournament.

     

    EDIT: In fact, I can clearly remember them showing footage of that title change on TV, and claiming it was the final match of the IC tournament.

     

    Right. For some reason I thought it was the other way around. The IC's history starts at Patterson, but it is rooted in that NA title.

     

    I wonder why they didn't just go with that title change rather than going with the tourny that never happened in Rio de Janero? Just to whitewash DiBiase's past?

     

    Have they ever kayfabed someone who Patterson BEAT in the final of that tourny that never happened in Rio?

    Anyone know exactly when that practice of forgeting everyone's past started? As I said up thread there is a backstage promo on the Hulk Still Rules DVD sometime around Hogan's title win (don't recall if it was before or after winning) where Bob Backlund flat out confront's Hogan on his heel past.

     

    I even remember reading a WWF kids book around the same time that even mentioned Hogan's past WWWF run, even saying that Hogan was managed by Freddie Blassie!

     

    Another great one is that Ted DiBiase's past (which included an IC title run) in the Fed so when "The Million Dollar Man" came in, it was like some complete new person.
