Since some of you have requested a thread for baseball, I thought I would combine this with the Smackdown thread, which usually ends up off topic anyway. So you can all post here tonighth
Anyone listen to the Steve Austin Unleashed episode where him and his wife argue for the first 10 minutes? This current one kind of sounds like the type of girl Steve needs... doesn't put up with any of his shit.
Extra Innings on the DirecTV. Access to every game except Houston Astros games, due to ownership screwing up a TV deal. Astros have a fine farm system, and it would be nice to see some of these kids in action down the road.
Just curious, anyone play Road to the Show in MLB 14 The Show? Just got the game last week and hot damn, did they raise the difficulty. I've got a 71 Overall Closer after Year 1, whereas last year it was like low 80s. No two stat training either. Other than that it seems to still be quite awesome. Seeing Mark Teixeira swing like an idiot at a pitch 4 inches away from breaking his ribs is worth my $40.
Wait, the Astros are holding people back INTENTIONALLY?
Isn't that a stupid move? I mean, the MLB doesn't have a salary cap and having a 1st overall pick isn't that big of a deal unless theres another Strasburg/Harper in the offing, no?
super two bullshit. Keeps them under team control longer, delays arbitration.
I fucking hate the Lastros. Get rewarded for tanking by extra shared revenue, while making the game less competitive and then stashing the top prospects away in AAA.
Yeah but this bites them in the long run cause the typical Carribean/Japanese players that don't need to get drafted to be in the MLB don't play for the less marquee teams, right?
Red Sox had the same issue with Jackie Bradley, Jr last season. There were some hesitations about adding him to the opening day roster due to the service time/free agency question. In the end, they decided to go with him because they felt he was ready and earned it last spring.
Between YES and mlb tv, I'm set for tonight.
ReplyDeletePlease don't suck, CC.
Just got back from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Thought it was bad ass. Also I want Red Skull to return
ReplyDeleteSince this is just a generic baseball thread, here's my all time favorite baseball moment:

I will not be partaking in either... but I WILL be drinking wine from a box.

ReplyDeleteLet's go Braves! Please don't light anymore flags on fire.
ReplyDeleteLet's go Brewers! 6 wins in a row, 7-2 on the season. Tired for best record. Tonight the Pirates 6-3 second in the division.
ReplyDeleteHaha... never heard about that one. That's some great stuff.
ReplyDeleteSeeing these scantily clad chicks holding up the match cards in kid friendly 1993 WWF sure is a weird juxtaposition
ReplyDeleteWhich episode? The most recent?
ReplyDeleteHis best first inning this year
ReplyDeleteBut they look so old and early 90s gaudy
ReplyDeleteHEEYYYY ERBODY WELCOME TO DA STEVE AUSTIN SHOOOW.
ReplyDeleteI see your home run prediction and raise you an awesome baseball rant
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv23pqH9iG0
Will you be chugging straight from the box, and passing the box around?

ReplyDeleteEP104 - Spanish Medallions Like A Mother F'er!
ReplyDeleteLike some heathen?! Of course not...
ReplyDelete... I'll be using a solo cup and sitting in my hammock outside listening to Steve Austin Unleashed.
I'd be more excited if MLB ready guys like Springer were playing and not being held in AAA just for payroll/arbitration considerations.

Awesome sauce
ReplyDeleteHaven't got it yet, since it doesn't come out for PS4 for another month. I'm definitely ready to play it, though.
ReplyDelete"Women deserve rights... and they deserve lefts, too! ANOTHER BEER FOR THE BEATIN' MAN"
ReplyDeletesuper two bullshit. Keeps them under team control longer, delays arbitration.

ReplyDeletehttp://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/03/union-george-springers-agent-considering-grievance.html -btw, see this.
ReplyDeleteSpringer's absolutely killed it in AAA so far. Shame he's on a sinking ship with no direction - oh wait, they're in their fifth year of 'rebuilding'.
On one hand I'm surprised women would still take a chance on him, but on the other hand... I'm not.
ReplyDeleteWell I don't think he was a sadistic wife beater, I only remember hearing he snapped the one time.
ReplyDeleteBut it's Steve Austin dammit, and women should feel honoured to live at the Black Eye Ra- Broken Skull Ranch.
Franzia White Zin. I'm actually planning to house a Tour de Franzia party at the end of July.
ReplyDeleteRed Sox had the same issue with Jackie Bradley, Jr last season. There were some hesitations about adding him to the opening day roster due to the service time/free agency question. In the end, they decided to go with him because they felt he was ready and earned it last spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching BRadley/Pacquiao 24/7. Still undecided if I'm going to bet on this fight.
ReplyDeleteMan, that Paige video package on the Smackdown preshow made the title match seem much more interesting than it was in reality.
ReplyDeleteGonna see it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteJust got in from the gym, got the Yanks-Sawx game on for an inning before going to get some food with the gf. 1-0 Yanks sounds good so far.
ReplyDeleteCC's offspeed stuff has been great so far.
ReplyDeleteWaiting to get it on my Vita until I get paid next week. I'm starting to get twitchy without a baseball game to play.
ReplyDeleteFucking gym didn't have the game on. Stupid Planet Fitness with their six channels they stay on.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm off again! Be back later, folks!
ReplyDeleteHi all.
ReplyDelete... that, and the bullshit lunk alarms, the lack of actual squat racks...
ReplyDeleteFuck Planet Fitness.
Another week, another awesome Bray interview. Wow.
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI, I posted another News Update for this evening
ReplyDeleteHHH v. Reigns? Should be fun to see Scott trolling everyone about HHH getting another Mania win.
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying Smackdown?
ReplyDeleteHow funny of Cesaro had a second trophy.
ReplyDeleteJust turned it on.
ReplyDeleteHmm, so it seems like they're doing a '98 Rock with Cesaro and pulling back on a face turn for the time being.
ReplyDeleteNo music for Cesaro, tonight. I wonder if they're going to debut a new song for him on Monday.
ReplyDeleteGood tease.
ReplyDeleteSurprised he didn't come out to his old theme.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows that bad news is delivered by Barrett.
ReplyDeleteTop 20 in the thread.
ReplyDeleteDon't get too cocky kid.
ReplyDeletePower corrupts people,Jean-Jacques Rosseau said that.
ReplyDelete::C team handshake::
Another day in college has ended it.
3 starts for Jon Lester so far, and 1 total run of support. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're doing well.
ReplyDelete:C team handshake:
Jacques Rougeau said that?
ReplyDeleteno,Rosseau.
ReplyDeleteA lot of good teases here.
ReplyDeleteThe crowd wants a swing.
ReplyDeleteReal american's theme is growing on me.
ReplyDeleteAlfonso Soriano will swing at anything.
ReplyDeleteWait... wrong channel.
We need a Cesaro vs Stevie Richards feud.
ReplyDeleteCrowd was humming it on Monday.
ReplyDeleteUgh, Hogan again? Time for him to go away for a while.
ReplyDeleteOrange goblin.
ReplyDeleteSmackdown can do a complete filler show here and it would still be better than TNA's booking.
ReplyDeleteA philosopher and a Mountie. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteI take it you haven't read the spoilers...Santino wins the World title tonight.
ReplyDeletefuck. tie game.
ReplyDeleteTna will die this year.
ReplyDeleteThe Opppa Lommpa on steroids.
ReplyDeleteI starting to think it has a strong chance.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me. Jon Lester 3 starts so far in 2014. 2 total runs of support.
ReplyDeleteUm no. They just had 1.4 million viewers last night, highest rating since Feb.
ReplyDeleteThey'll push Gunner has their last bullet,I'm telling ya.
ReplyDeleteI think, therefore I am the Mountie.
ReplyDeleteSounds about right.
ReplyDeleteYep. Huge spike in ratings.
ReplyDeleteWell.......
ReplyDeleteI hope that number stays at 2 for the rest of the night.
ReplyDeleteTNA Impact on Thursday, April 11 scored a 1.02 rating, up one-tenth of a rating from a 0.93 rating last week.
ReplyDeleteImpact drew 1.415 million viewers, up about 300,000 viewers (27 percent) from last week's show.
It was the most viewers in two months dating back to the first-half of 2014 when Impact consistently scored above a 1.0 rating.
- On cable TV Thursday night, Impact ranked #23 in overall viewers, #18 in males 18-34, and #18 in males 18-49.
In the week-to-week demographics, Impact increased slightly in the key demos, mainly m18-34.
Someone please can send me a stream,please don't ban me Scott.
ReplyDeleteHuh, good for them.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit.
ReplyDeleteDavid Ortiz just got himself an infield hit.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe I just typed that.

ReplyDeleteThey still are B+ players.
ReplyDeleteNot working.
ReplyDeleteIt's Los Matadores vs Rybaxel.
ReplyDeleteB+ players that need to sign a new TV deal. This will help them along with the NYC shows.
ReplyDeletethe front
ReplyDeleterow
dot eu
No links too,I'm serious.
ReplyDeleteNo working stream
ReplyDeleteAxelback sounds better.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one that kinda likes Ryback and Axel together?
ReplyDeleteSure is weird to see Raw basically serving as the B-show to superstars in 1993
ReplyDeleteHillbilly Jim is a legend??? How? Why?
ReplyDeleteSince they actually aren't doing anything, they work well together.
ReplyDeleteUndertaker should have kept the Johnny Cash theme.
ReplyDelete"No Grave"?
ReplyDeleteYes,it fit perfectly to this more old weary persona he was using.
ReplyDeleteRVD feels great because he's high.
ReplyDeleteInstead, his secondary theme is some song form The Punisher.
