    Official MLB Discussion Thread

    Don't get your point. The Yankees scored more runs on the road...ok? That backs up my point.

     

    And what do you mean they "outhit them?" Batting average? If so, big deal. Least important of the major offensive categories.

     

    Yankees are +48 on the road over the O's but they are +111 over the O's when they play in a stadium smaller than Babe Ruth's waistline.

     

    As for outhitting them, you were first to mention how the Yanks outhit the O's.

     

    Look I'm not sure why you felt the need to unleash the snarkness on me but I was just trying to point out that the Yankees offensive numbers are going to be slightly skewed when looking at counting stats because they play in billion dollar shoebox. So while they have a much, much better offense than the O's; they also benefit from playing half their games in baseball in a park the approximate size of Reggie Jackson's **** ring. That makes it look like they have a much, much, much better offense, when really it's just much, much better.

     

    Hope I cleared things up for ya!

    There were reports that the Red Sox may have fired him and let him say he quit. Personally I believe the truth is somewhere in the middle. I think that when the Sox told him to hit the bricks he let out a big sigh of relief. The stories that have come out about the team since he left have not made it sound like it was a fun job towards the end.

     

    One thing I'll say about Ruben Amaro the Phillies GM is that one of the biggest factors in bringing in a player is that they are good people and good teammates. The Phillies won't bring in pitchers who drink in the clubhouse during games.

    Cabana is gonna be at MITB. Let the speculation begin whether or not he'll have a hand in the finish.

     

    Not only that but he's been clearing off his calender. According to Gerweck.net he has told promotions he is a regular with to stop booking him. They also report that the Kings of Wrestling are without a doubt WWE bound.

     

    Jim Cornette shows up and all the sudden WWE starts sniping ROH talent left and right. Speculate! Speculate! Speculate!

    Grrr! *shows his teeth*

    I'm not starting a fight I'm just pointing out your bias. You can claim there isn't one all you want but there is. It is neigh impossible for one to go to their first ever WrestleMania, the culmination of a childhood dream, and then compare that show fairly with another PPV by another company that you watched on a screen and not in person.

     

    I haven't and won't pick a side on how good this PPV is compared to other PPVs because it's the first PPV I've watched from start to bottom in a long long time.

    I just don't get how promoting top PPV matches on special event shows is more logical at this day an age. If you do that, then you cut under every other free show you offer by making certain ones more important.

     

    If you take PPV out of the question we're talking about just another TV show. Think of the big shows as a season finale. Except that instead of having to wait until next year, the new season starts the following week! :cool:

    Official NBA Discussion Thread

    What happened to Lebron? He played passive pretty much the whole game.

     

    When you have the ball in your hands every possession since you were 6 you tend to look out of sorts when you suddenly don't have the ball and you're playing against a fantastic defensive team.

     

    Why LeBron isn't utilized in a Magic Johnson-like playmaker role is beyond me. He's the best playmaker in the NBA at his size since the aforementioned hall of famer. Even when LeBron isn't playing well he makes the right read 99% of the time. I think LeBron running point is something we'll definitely see next season. Mike Bibby is completely useless and Mario Chalmers is best utilized as a second choice point guard.

    It seems that <span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Read a Gerweck.net report a while ago saying that TNA are flirting with the idea of dropping the name TNA. At the 5/12 impact it was announced that the SHOW will be dropping the name TNA and going with just 'Impact Wrestling' however the company will still be called TNA. It's been suspected (by me) that they will begin a rebranding campaign and one of the main points of the campaign will be to push the word 'wrestling'</span> I can't confirm that last part for sure (<img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />), but there's enough evidence for conjecture imo.

    If it's a work, it not only pissed off their usually easy-to-please Impact Zone fans, it pissed off the few fans they have who will pay to see their product. Who could possibly have paid $30 or whatever for that PPV and been happy with that as their main event? And that's not even getting into the idea of the semi-main event going to a non-finish with it being used as a hook for the free TV.

    The Impact Zone fans don't pay anything. I'm sure that next week the Impact Zone will look like stands of a beer league softball game, not even little league. No one was happy, if they booked a finish like that no one was supposed to be happy. Again I'll the re-emphasize that I don't think it was a booked finish.

     

    I didn't mind the finish to the semi-main event, I did mind that it was a match well below RVD and Mr. Anderson's standards.

    Not really, because if it's a work then it just means they're a different kind of moron.

     

    Wrestling can only be what you think it should be. I understand.

     

    That being said I highly doubt it was a work.

     

    Even without the main event the PPV was horrible top to bottom, this monthly PPV **** needs to stop. Too many throw away PPVs in both WWE and TNA.
