Eric Byrnes gets a 3 year, $30M extension from the D-Backs. Unreal.

I think that actually makes this a more important fight. If the title goes vacant, you can probably all but book the winner of this fight into the title shot (hopefully against B.J.).

The new New Pornographers CD is a stark decline from Twin Cinema.

The WEC card wasn't as good as the last one but was still worth watching. Jamie Varner with a motherfucking death valley driver en route to victory. Jeff Curran looked passable but Faber will steamroll him. Filho destroyed Doerksen. Ref should have stopped the fight 30 seconds sooner, IMO. His head was bobbing up and down like a yo-yo w/ some of those shots he was taking towards the end. And Filho repping the cuttoff lumberjack flannel!! The main event delivered though...that was a sick fucking armbar. I actually figured Larson would use his wrestling to steamroll him but damn was I wrong. That was such a sick armbar.

I think one week + later, we can definitely say this is not true.

I guess I'd better see Hot Rod before it's gone. I was thinking of using my free ticket to see it today and then sneak into Harry Potter... I probably should have.

I think that anyone who won't even listen to an argument in relation to the greatness of Bonds just clings onto the steroids factoid like a little teddy bear and won't even bother thinking about it critically. Bonds is the best player of this era and my life time, and it's not even a question. It's not like Barry was the only player taking steroids. Countless HUNDREDS of players, both positional and pitchers were doing the exact same thing, if not much worse, and none of them even sniffed Barry's stratosphere.

They have a ranking of sluggers on SportsNation and I seriously sometimes think that the "citizens" of SportsNation are fucking retarded. They have: 1. Ruth 2. Aaron 3. Mays 4. Bonds Having Aaron above Mays is just insane, in my eyes, and I'd put Hank 4th behind Barry, personally.

Yeah, i already deleted Parallels. Think crashed ALL THE TIME. I downloaded the Beta of VMWare Fusion and so far I must say it's pretty badass. I might spring for the full copy when it's released.

Well, as always I'm an idiot. Nothing to see here.

Don't forget that Sunday is the WEC card. Here's the televised card: Joe Doerksen vs. Paulo Filho (for vacant middleweight title) Champion Carlos Condit vs. Brock Larson (for welterweight title) Jeff Curran vs. Stephen Ledbetter Sherron Leggett vs. Jamie Varner

I can't believe Lincecum's name came up in this thread for 300 wins. A lot of scouts, Keith Law most vocally, think he's going to end up in the bullpen.

I love Bill Simmons, probably more-so then most, but he definitely sounds like a teenager going through puberty. He shouldn't be on radio. I can't even bring myself to listen to his podcast, despite him having some decent guests on.

Just because it's a fan made trailer doesn't mean that the footage is fake.

Yeah, it's looking more and more like Shaunie being gone has to do with him signing his deal with Linc. I don't know - it really does seem like nothing's happening lately, but I can't help but enjoy the show. It's entertaining and some of the performances are mind-blowingly awesome...Ed O'Neill is just fantastic. His scene w/ John where John stabbed himself was just top notch from front to back. I also hope something bad happens to Cissy... like getting squarely hit in the face by a meteor or something.

Holy shit, J. Upton up already? Dude's 19!! Nice. And yeah, Miguel lost 20 pounds over a few weeks ago. He's still tubby compared to his former self, but he went from a blimp to an overinflated balloon. He could afford to lose 30 more.

Miguel Cabrera: • Ranks 1st in NL in BA (.341) • Ranks 4th in NL in HR (26) • Ranks 5th in NL in RBI (79) • Ranks 8th in NL in OBP (.412) • Ranks 1st in NL in SLG (.623) • Ranks 2nd in NL in OPS (1.035) He's lost 20 pounds and he's easily having his best season at the plate. Scary good. He could make a legit run at the triple crown someday, if not this year.

Yeah, Cole Miller vs. Leonard Garcia is one I hope makes air. I'd like to see Quarry vs. Sell on air, as well.

Oh my god, what an episode. It was already cruising a long as a great pace due to the Murray sequences... "Don't you guys remember, you talked me off the roof?" and "Yeah, DVD. Dubbed video dubbed." Then it got better when Dave was like, "Did you SEE Escape from Alcatraz? Forget about it." But then the Murray song at the end. God, I love this show. I didn't think it would last but I see/hear people talking about it everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets renewed for another season or two. Murray is the best character on the show...

Meh episode. But the payoff was fucking unbelieveable. Johnny Drama fucking the furry. I loved it. Oh my god, I hadn't laughed that hard at joke/payoff on Entourage in awhile. And fyi, if anyone is interested, the principal of the school is Homer Simpson!

All I'm really watching this summer is HBO's Sunday night lineup.

So, did anyone see the ufcjunkie piece on Fedor? It sucks that they are playing hardball with him. If Sleazy D fucks this one up... I don't even know. I think he'll cave eventually because he doesn't have a choice.

Finally caught up. The last episode was the best of the series, in my opinion. The Butchie/Shaunie reunion was really well done, as was the crazy stuff with John. Great ending and I'm legit wondering what the fuck is going to happen to Shaunie next week.

The scene where he kept repeating in my father's eyes and Cass's camera lens about different scenarios confused the shit out of me. I still need to watch last week's episode. I'm highly amused that Butchie started getting so fucked up when Cissy jerked him off.

HR for Barry against Rick Vanden Hurk. This series is about to get amped up by the media with Barry directly on the doorstep.
