TCQ!!!

Crap.

QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ May 25, 2008 -> 07:50 PM) This season is going to be so painful. At least last year you could stop caring, but this year, with the rest of the division looking even worse than us, we are going to be in the race all year, even with this offense. Stressful times ahead my friends. ^Agreed.

Someone please tell Joe Morgan the difference between a splitter & a forkball.

$50 says he signs a contract with IFL to be the coach of a team.

I found my apartment building, my parents' house, my church, my old home and my old church.

Great video of Harvick vs. Montoya from today's race:

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 11, 2007 -> 01:55 PM) Unbelievable set piece by Gerrard in the 87th minute to seal a 2-1 victory for Liverpool. Torres is really fun to watch when he gets the ball -- he had some great touches. Ryan Babel also looked very good as a late sub.

Please move if this isn't in the right forum. Join my Yahoo! fantasy football league! League ID: 211587 Password: flyingsock I will let you know when the draft is ready. I'm waiting for stragglers. Should be ready this weekend. BTW, it's an offline draft.

I thought it was a fitting end to the series. I was kinda sorry that Fred died, though, mainly because I didn't want anything to happen to any of the Weasleys. Despite being raised by the Dursleys, the Weasleys and Hermione were probably the closest thing Harry had to a family.

Roll call for Chicagoland this weekend! Who's gonna be there? I am for both Busch and Cup. My buddy bought the package (he's trying to sell the Indy tickets though. He doesn't care for open-wheel racing).

Players voted him in.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-r...p&type=lgns $50 says he ain't playin' Tuesday.

Montoya gets his first Nextel Cup win. I figured he'd stand a good chance because of his open wheel experience.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jun 19, 2007 -> 01:29 PM) Sherri Schrull died quietly at her mother’s house on Friday afternoon. But “Sensational Sherri," as professional wrestling fans knew her, lived loudly. Considered one of the first ladies of wrestling, Sherri Martel, 49, was a WWE Hall of Famer, and an AWA and WWF championship titleholder. Her husband found her dead at her mother’s home in the McCalla community on the Tuscaloosa-Jefferson County line Friday afternoon, said Capt. Loyd Baker, commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit. Baker said foul play is not suspected, but that Schrull did not die of natural causes. “The cause of death is pending her autopsy and toxicology report," he said Monday. She had gone to bed because she wasn’t feeling well, Baker said, and her husband later found her unresponsive at 12:45 p.m. at the home on Eastern Valley Road, where she had been living for the past year. Martel wrestled in the 1980s but became more high profile when she “managed" wrestling superstars like Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, and “Macho Man" Randy Savage. She was notorious for antagonizing good guys in professional wrestling. Professional wrestling managers hardly perform typical managerial duties. They function as sidekicks, usually for villains, whose antics turn the audience against the wrestler. “She was very good at knowing what to do ringside to get people agitated and interested," said Bruce Mitchell, a columnist for the Pro Wrestling Torch newsletter and Web site. “You knew you would get a show when you watched Sensational Sherri." Martel wore elaborate costumes that fit her persona; she would paint her face with dramatic make-up. When she managed, she was known to run around ringside swinging at wrestlers with a brick-filled purse or a shoe. “She’d dress up like a wicked witch in a bridal costume, for example," Mitchell said. “She was way over the top." Martel, however, was unlike the busty, bikini-clad female wrestlers on television today, he said. “She would fall into a table, get thrown around the ring and never complain. She loved it." “Everyone respected her. She was an attractive lady, but she wasn’t just eye-candy," he said. “She was really a pioneer and a trailblazer." Interviews with Martel published online indicate that she was born Sherri Russell in New Orleans. She said in one interview that she grew up watching wrestling matches with her mother and began training at 20. She trained under the famous “The Fabulous Moolah," reputedly the first female wrestling champion. She broke into the business by wrestling at small promotional events in Memphis and working her way up. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006. “She paved the road for a lot of others to follow," WWE chairman Vince McMahon said at the event. Wrestling fans have posted tribute videos and messages to Martel on Internet sites like YouTube. Mitchell said that Martel, despite her status in the community, was just a wrestling fan herself. He said he saw her at conventions and events in recent years. “She was just like a fan, having a good time and hanging out," he said. A little late to the party, are we?

/beginrant To all the people who want Walk's head on a platter, I have a question for you: who's gonna replace him? I know there are hitting coaches out there, but there's a reason why they're unemployed at this point in the season. They're bad. Eddie Murray was a great hitter in his career, but he couldn't get the job done as a coach. Or would the Sox make Harold Baines the hitting coach? Here's what the players are gonna hear from him: (crickets chirping) /endrant

Borchard had holes in two places: 1. his swing 2. his head The Sox could've fixed #1 if he would've fixed #2. He thought the only way to get to the big league was to, as Earl Weaver once said, "hit the *bleeping* ball out the ballpark".

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jun 18, 2007 -> 10:39 AM) I really miss the ECW shows at the Odeum. For beginners, it was 5 minutes from my house. Actually though, they were a ton of fun and very affordable. ROH comes close to it, but something about the ECW crowd and wrestlers was just awesome. I think the first time they ran the building Bubba Ray almost started a riot, got a chair thrown at him and it hit the ref. Their heel gimmick is one of the greatest of all time IMO Yeah, I was there. The main event was RVD vs. Jerry Lynn for the TV title if I remember correctly. The best match though was Spike & Balls Mahoney vs. The Dudleys. That was when Balls got powerbombed through the flaming table covered with thumbtacks. I think Spike also did a splash onto D-Von from way up high.
