Buehrle>Wood

When they arrested the Paris mastermind, there were protests and riots going vs the people making the arrest. That was scary. Guess ISIS really isn't happy they got Europe's most wanted man.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) What a terrible ME on raw. How was the beginning of it? Decent show? First hour was okay. Owens vs AJ was great. Good vignette with Ambrose that's worth watching. Rest of the show was unbelievably bad. They're really botching the Mania build.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 09:48 PM) I agree with the recent assements in this thread. There are some sad matches: The main event is terrible. But they do have some highlights: Ladder match, HIAC, AJ Styles vs. Jericho. So, I think it's a decent card. They could have done more with the buildup, they really failed on storyline progression. Even the one with the most thought, Aj Styles vs. Jericho seems a bit stale. Ambrose vs Brock should be amazing. Pretty damn good build too. Why did they go with the multi man with the IC belt? Why not the US title? Kalisto is a ladder match specialist. IC belt could have been Owens vs Zayn. Does that make too much sense?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) The Usos don't do anything for me. So boring. It's a shame the current generation of fans don't appreciate the Dudleys. Best tag team of all time. Bubby Ray needs to heel singles run. TNA is awful but one thing they absolutely killed it with was the Bully Ray character. He could be one of the top heels on the roster easily. Wish they'd break them up.

Owens sucking up to Stephanie had me laughing pretty hard.

I had MSU out in the round of 32. I'll just claim victory now.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) One thing that leaves a very sour taste in my mouth is the whole 'adding crowd cheer effects.' This is just horrid propaganda bulls***. It's sly, manipulative, and entirely taking advantage of a weakness of human beings. To try to turn Reigns, who is being booed outta the building, by adding crowd cheer and quickly video recording the few fans cheering for him and ignoring the boo's is just awful. Did they add crowd noise tonight? That's lame. Usually they don't do that s*** on Raw only Smackdown. But wouldn't surprise me either, anything to get Roman over.

Jury awards Hogan an extra 25 million in punitive damages.

I think I've seen enough of Lollis.

Jacob May, wow

I think the Rock will be on Raw tonight, unveiling whatever the hell hell be doing for Mania. But I'm reading in between the lines because again wrestling press is terrible.

If we have to sacrifice one of power or OBP, I'd much rather sacrifice power for our last position player. Our infield is above average power everywhere already. He wouldn't be a terrible 2 hole hitter. His .340 OBP vs RHP would look good there, or anywhere really.

AJ and Flowers dead last. AJ good shot to finish in the top 5 all-time in catcher appearances. Obviously he's been around and been very durable, but that still surprises me.

Is 1st place good?

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 20, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) Hield is best shooter since Steph Curry Agreed. I've seen him pretty low on draft boards. No idea why.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 20, 2016 -> 05:22 PM) Stone just really clearly said that Davidson WILL be going to AAA, and WILL be playing 3B there daily. Yeah. That's a relief.

Sands bomb, Lombardozzi and Davidson hits. Then Ishikawa GIDP. Four guys fighting for a spot there.

Sands making a roster push

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 20, 2016 -> 04:11 PM) Marcus Semien E6, misses first base throw by 5 feet down the line towards home. That was pretty hilarious.

Seem to be pushing Ishikawa for a roster spot.

It's Adam Laroche now and it's not close.

In the 100% tile on ESPN. 45,000th place. Need to brag before that changes.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) Barstool is way more low-brow than Deadspin, even. You can find some funny stuff, but it's super absolute trash. Yeah that's the impression I get from it. I just stick to aggregators now (reddit works well here) and podcasts for commentary. In the end nothing will be the good old fashioned message board though.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) What sports/sports media sites do you frequent that are better? Legitimately curious. In the blog style of deadspin? None really. Barstool seems to be gaining tons of popularity as of late, judging by the number of times I get sent links to it. Seemingly too wacky for me. And Kotaku, man I think that may be my least favorite Gawker blog.

Deadspin has been mostly garbage since Leitch left, IMO, and that was awhile ago.
