I have no skin in the game, but I'm pulling for the Indians. The Cubs nutswinging by the media has just been ridiculous this year. Soo this! I think Joe Buck is on the Cubs payroll. The funny thing about this is, the dumber Cubs bandwagon riders all thought Buck lived on the end of Clayton Kershaw'...

I hate CWC already, nice to see WKRP town be setup for Sasha big night in a real town Jericho is amazing, it's good KO is along for the ride I thought Jericho was boring during his last run, but he is killing it this time and teaming him with Owens has been perfect. They will have a terrific feud w...

Don't forget football fans thanks to Roger Goodell insisting on making teams go over to London we get a early kickoff today and actually an extra game to watch because the rest of the day is being treated as a normal day. Kickoff is at 8:30 am central time. Can anyone explain why the NFL has a game...

Didn't you used to be a BlackHawks fan? Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else. Yeah, I got sick of them. Too many dumbshit bandwagoners around here now, so I jumped off. I always liked the Wings as a kid anyway and the Blues are fun to watch. Damn. And fair enough. Your avatar was the Blaclhawk...

Maybe for season 4 or 5, but they've got a bunch of shows taped already.

My guess is they're pissed about being split up (drafted to opposite shows) so they're either trying to get released or just protesting by flunking together to spend a month off the road.

I just listened to this last night. Excellent stuff as always, MSL.

I don't think John Laryngitis will be punished for having a disgruntled brother. WWE seems to like him a lot for some reason.

A second failed drug test for Lesnar. #doubleoops

The Gift - 6.5/10

Not bad. A little predictable, but I expected it to be. I like Jason Bateman, and he played a guy who was a jerk/bully so that was entertaining.

Big week for the Cubs. Pirates and Giants. Not necessary to sweep either of them, of course, but winning both series would be huge.

The Angels are eating all but about 7 million of the 83 million bucks Hamilton is owed.
They really wanted him gone. This is very low-risk for Texas.

If what John said is true, then I should have very little trouble buying tickets to the game once I am in town. Very pleased that is the case. Plus, around Sept the Cubs are almost always out of contention, so maybe more tickets will be on sale that time of year? If tickets happen to be a bit scarc...

Lard Turns out the WS will be out of town that weekend. I assume 1 Chicago team is is town while the other team is away, yes? Which is fine. Would rather visit Wrigley for a game. Yeah, when the Cubs are in, usually the Sox are on the road. Wrigley is the more iconic ballpark, but I prefer USCF to ...

John Give me some advice here. Planning to visit Chicago late summer. During my visit the Cubs are playing at Wrigley. Do I have a realistic chance of buying tickets to a game while I am in town or is that virtually impossible?? Tickets were going for under a buck on Stubhub last year. By the thous...

It would be a good idea in my opinion, but I think those days are over. I think it would lead to the less successful indies to try for profit sharing and shit like that, and that just won't fly. Things are so competitive now, I really can't see the promoters banding together like that.

They showed the title match from last night on Raw. That was an excellent match.
They're going to show the Rumble itself later, with the boos muted WAY down and the announcers brought way up in the mix. Should be funny.

Dumb and Dumber To - 6/10
It was exactly what I expected it to be - a dumb comedy with a simple plot that provided enough laughs to keep me there but not enough to recommend it to anyone.

Birdman - 8/10

Great performances by Michael Keaton and Edward Norton, cool cinematography, and an interesting story. It got a little more "out there" at the end, which I found a bit off-putting, but overall I enjoyed it a lot.

True, but then Dusty added a classic to the "curse" and Piniella's team got swept both times. Getting to the playoffs is good, but when a team has gone over 100 years without winning the whole thing, losing in the playoffs is just more losing. Maddon got to the Series with a solid young co...

Dusty Baker and Lou Piniella say "wait and see".

The network has devalued pay-per-views. They're just another show now, so WWE feels no need to make them any better than Raw or Smackdown. It's almost to the point where anything worth watching is an accident. There are no storylines to care about at all, and if something or someone should happen to...

The thread is dead because wrestling has never been more boring. TNA is dying a slow death and WWE is sleepwalking. All they care about is "9.99"ing us to death, but how are you supposed to sell the network when all of your programming is dull as all hell? I've been a wrestling nerd since ...

I've been to one game at Soldier Field (back when Don Majkowski was the Packers' QB). That was enough of Soldier Field for me. I'd like to see a game at Lambeau, but I much prefer watching a game at home or at a bar.

Nick Leddy to the Islanders. Blackhawks had to shed salary, so NYI get a pretty good defenseman. He still makes some goofy mistakes from time to time, but he's going to be good on the Island.

The Drop - 5/10
James Gandolfini's last movie. Good premise, some very good acting, but kind of a weak script and not enough payoff for the buildup. Disappointing overall.

Leading the league in steals.

Phillies want either Baez, Castro, or Russell in return. They can have Baez......he's proving to be a total bust. Yep, he looks a lot like Adam Dunn so far. A few bombs and a whole bunch of whiffs. Maybe he'll learn some zone recognition down the line, but right now he has NONE. He'll be disposable...

I think Steph's left tit has a restraining order against her right tit, and now they can't come within 50 feet of each other.
