The Critic

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 22, 2007 -> 09:05 AM) The Big Show is off TV right now and in OVW because of an attitude problem? I thought he is on injury leave right now. And I was just reading on rajah.com that he is considering jumping to TNA as well(gag) No, he means in the past Wight was disciplined. His contract expired now, and he's resting injuries and deciding what he wants to do next. He turned down a multi-year "intellectual property" contract from Vince a while ago, so that makes me think TNA is at least a possibility.

The new ones from Machine Head and WASP are better than I'd have expected them to be. WASP's new one "Dominator" is very solid, and "The Blackening" could definitely make some "Best Of" lists for 2007.

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 03:32 AM) I've got a strange buzzing sound coming out of the game I downloaded off of itunes. Does yours have that problem? You sure you didn't download a Fergie song by mistake?

Red Wings' Dan Cleary just fell awkwardly into the boards and is down for a long time. I don't see any movement at all in his legs. I think he may be unconscious, but I'm not sure. No one touched him - we was switching from skating forward to skating backwards and his skate got caught in a rut, sending him flopping backwards into the boards. It looked UGLY. WHEW. They came back from commercials and Cleary was up and skating off the ice with some help, but he looks VERY groggy.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 03:16 PM) I looooove our bullpen. I'd totally make out with it. So easy......they won't respect you, y'know.....

BALLGAME! Way to take the gifts!!! Get the sweep tomorrow!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 03:09 PM) Wow, nice snag by Rodney. Leave in Aardsma? I wouldn't mind it, but Bobby's coming in.

Sheffield is SUCH a f***ing whiner. One of these guys who just can't accept that he's out, or that he let a strike go by, or anything like that. Douche.

So was that 94 reading really a 97mph fastball by MacDougal?

Hawk: "Feisty, you take away the first five hitters, and Jose blahblahblahblah...." Much like: "Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"

I've often wondered what I'd look like if I ever got a major-league at-bat. Thanks to Erstad, I never have to wonder anymore.

Erstad absolutely overmatched. Not even funny.......well, a little funny.....

NICE! 4-3! Good work, Joe!

Just a base hit, Joe. Don't swing for 3, just get 1 and move 'em along.

Errors > Triple Plays AND Errors > Double Plays

QUOTE(Wanne @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 12:46 PM) I know it's good baseball...but I've never heard to homers emphatuated with a ground ball to the right side more than these 2. How bout a few HITS. infatuated, yes they are.

Bad call to send Jim on that popup.

5 ER in one inning of work for McSavior. Is that bad?

He might want to invest in a shin guard.

Okay, left-center gap is okay too.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 07:41 PM) Konerko better get his head out of his ass and hit the ball. None of this homer crap, just line drive simple swing. Nothing would make me happier than a line drive into the right-center gap by Paulie. Not even a grand slam...........okay, MAYBE a grand slam would make me happier.....

HEY, I remember that play from Little League!!!!

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 04:09 PM) "Soxtalk's favorite wrestler" Randy Orton has once again dropped the ball. He's been sent home for "messing" up a hotel room. If he wasn't a "3rd generation rassler" I wonder how much of this s*** Vince would've taken?

I went to a bunch of Beloit Brewers games in the early 90's and it's a lot of fun. We almost never paid to get in - someone was usually handing free tickets through the chain-link fence. Food was very affordable, and lots of families there. I may have to head back across the Cheesy Divide this summer for a game (they're called the Beloit Snappers now)

The Flames are who we thought they were. Lousy on the road, great at home. Series is now tied 2-2. The Penguins are ousted by Ottawa. And in non-playoff news............the Blackhawks re-upped with Patrick Lalime. 1-year deal, financial terms not announced. Good move, Lalime's a solid goalie.
