Whatever. I want them to move at this point. I have no attachment to Miami, just the team. Move the team and Cabrera and Willis get locked up. I hope it happens.

Yeah. I'm an idiot. I read that as Lidell. I think it's because UTSU was all over the Entourage thread and I assumed his curiousity spread here.

It appears as though the Marlins new ballpark has been shot down by the Senate again.

Oh. That is fantastic.

I missed how they killed her. Did Bobby slip something?

5/26.

Tony's fucking lost it. The shit he said to Carm, all the insane gambling, my God. Another solid but unspectacular episode. They are setting the final 5 up to be mindblowing. They better deliver.

I loved this episode. The Liddell/Drama stuff was unreal. Hilarious and awesome. I saw the ending coming but still very cool. The pool scene w/ Artie Lang, Carley Bobby, Ari and his wife was dynamite. The only thing that sucked was E's storyline but this is all leading to Amanda's imminent firing so whatever. I just hope they don't go the Mandy Moore route again...

The two wounds weren't even similar. Ethan, I can see. But Boone suffered total body trauma and if IIRC, he died within hours. Even if they healed 10x faster...Boone got fucked up.

I'm hoping that with the HBO deal they switch it over to that, because the commercial breaks ruined the flow of UFC 70 as far as I'm concerned. I'm interested to see what Kampmann can muster up in the matchup w/ Franklin. I was impressed with his performance against McFedries. T. Griffin vs. Guida should be awesome, you're right on that. F. Griffin should be interesting too because he NEEDS to win after getting his head implanted into the mat by Jardine at 66. I'm also hoping for a big win by "The Athlete", Ed Herman getting KTFO by Scott Smith (I can dream), and a nice comeback for Sanchez.

I didn't think Stephan Bonnar would ever get another chance but apparently he's going to fight Mike Nickels at UFN 10.

Sorry this is way in advance as the card is 7/7/07 but wow. Anderson Silva vs. Nate Marquardt Hermes Franca vs. Sean Sherk Tito Ortiz vs. Rashad Evans and ONCE AGAIN... The octagon debut of Antonio Rodrigo “Big Nog†Nogueira.

Pence sounds like a poor man's Josh Hamilton. Too bad he didn't start playing another year or he could have won ROY, but that award has already been taken for 2007. I dunno. Hamilton's been cooling down a bit. He's only hitting .288. And there is the possibility of the "face-down in the gutter/smack off of a stripper's ass" scenario. Do the Marlins have any good rookies? When in doubt, pick the Fish. No ROY for the Marlins this year. Only rookie in the lineup is Alejandro De Aza and none of the rookie pitchers will be impact.

Relax, buddy. It's April. By October Josh Hamilton could be facedown in a gutter after 4 straight hours of doing smack off a stripper's ass.

Not sure what the scouts, etc. will say but I'm happy with Aaron Ross and Steve Smith for the G-Men. They need O-Line help, though.

I let this one die because I thought I was the only one posting in it. These are my new ones. Glows in the dark, ha.

This isn't really a spoiler so I'll just say it... there are no Sawyer flashbacks scheduled for the rest of the season. Do you really think they are going to do the big reveal that the real Sawyer is Locke's dad without a flashback to go along with it? But you're right. It makes more sense that Locke is talking about him then Ben himself.

Well, that saves me the trouble of checking because I knew she didn't simply say Thank You. I guess it's really a non-issue though because we'd be finding that out next week anyway once she starts talking to them... unless of course she decides to be all secretive now that she is coherent, which I suppose wouldn't surprise me all that much.

This reminds me on something about Abreu. From just an observation standpoint, from all the players you've seen, in your opinion, where does Abreu rank among the best eye in baseball? Out of all the players i've seen bat, he definitely has the best eye i've seen. His at-bats are fun to watch, and when he strikes out swinging, it seems like he just gave away an at-bat. Probably second, behind Barry Bonds. It's funny because when I watched Abreu hit, I was reminded of the famous Bill Klem line (Klem was a HOF umpire). When a young pitcher questioned his calls while pitching to Rogers Hornsby, Klem stated, "young man, when you throw a strike Mr. Hornsby will let you know." I said the same thing jokingly about Abreu. If Abreu thought it was outside, it was. Jeremy Hermida has an incredible eye too, except he's been a bust in every other aspect. Never being on the field doesn't help either.

I don't know enough about movies to do a pool but wouldn't the Pixar movie be a better bet to clear 200M?

Yeah... I also think it's a staged fake crash somehow. Because they know that everyone...repeat EVERYONE will revolt if they were dead the entire time. You know, there are so many layers right now that it hurts my brain. Juliette doing nice things, then being nefarious, THEN turning off the recorder to say "I hate you" to Ben. Exactly where does she stand right now? We won't know until the end of the season finale and not even then. And Locke... Again... we won't know until the season finale. Needless to say, another REALLY good episode and it's looking like straight bad-assness from here until the finale.

I need to watch this 9th inning on MLB.tv. I saw it was 3-0 Braves in the 7th when I got home and didn't even bother to put the game on... Oops.

Clarkson wasn't looking curvy tonight. She was looking pregnant. But god damn can she sing. To be fair, I think she wore possibly the least flattering dress possible, but she definitely packed on a 20-30 spot. I'm not surprised they didn't eliminate anyone. This was a waste of time, but I still kind of enjoyed it. I wish they did more with Bono...

I'm looking forward to tonight actually. I always watch AI on a delay with one finger on the fast forward button but I'm looking forward to some of the performances tonight.
