It's funny how "matter of fact" this is

Of Wake's last 10 games he usually went 6+ and only once gave up more than 4 ER and that wasn't even during his last start.. he's as solid a #4 or 5 can be this year ... in most cases it's been Wake being handed the ND (4 ND's when leaving with a lead) Wake bashers need to pull their heads out.. he's just fine.. the wins will come.. and it could be WAY worse... the Yanks roll Burnett out every 5 days

Glad to be back.. got a s***** laptop this time around but I'll always find a way

Abe used to beat for the Yanks but aside from that, anything Pro-Wakefield I will stand up proud and puff out my chest to all the naysayers out there that want him gone and scream "I LOVE YOU, TIM WAKEFIELD!!" as loud as I can haha.. Wake's value to the team is and always has been underestimated.. I can't wait for his 200th..

Somebody.. SOMEWHERE... has to have it.. that was like the pinnacle of my life.. sad but not so much actually.. I was on a deployment typing that s*** out after a 12 hour shift getting my ass kicked in Kyrgyzstan and then reading all those f***ing Yankee TROLLS after game 3.. omg i had to defend the turf!!

We were baaaaad lol

One word to describe the Canadian Crippler is INTENSE.. and if wrestling ability was to be the deciding factor in what makes a superstar than my top 5 are Benoit, HBK, Bret Hart, Dean Milenko, and Jericho but we all know it takes a lot more than just being able to wrestle and unfortunately Benoit didn't do much of anything on the mic.. He'd have been a perfect heel with a Bobby the Brain type doing the talking

A few of us for sure haha.. why not?

priceless IMO

Edge was an amazing worker.. I thought he was held back for too long.. great on the mic, great as a face and a heel.. it's too bad his body couldn't let him continue but he was always out there putting his body on the line.. I also believe he was under rated

Box score from the first game I ever attended at the Fens: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=198607050BOS

I wouldn't trade Darnell McDonald for AJ Burnett... just saying

The AL central does more to hide bad teams while making them look "good" I would like to see a balanced schedule and the divisions removed entirely

I love Yaz the Cat!

Rose, I think a big problem now is that people don't wanna let go of the Attitude Era.. there'll never be anything like it again as long as we're alive.. wrestling always has peaks and valleys.. 1992-1995 was MISERABLE and again 2004 until about now has been pretty damn stale.. my only hope is that VKM doesn't drop the ball with this and just let it BLOOM without shoving Cena down our throats all the f***ing time.. this one needs to BREATHE and if it does we may see ourselves embarking on another great run in wrestling... it still won't ever compare to 1995-2002 though.. that was the GOLDEN age and you had to be watching when it was happening to truly understand why

The Twins have recently benefited from living in the Al Central (where the Blue jays would be perennial division contenders) .. They've been hurt this year for sure but another thing that bites them in the ass every day is the fact that they didn't tailor the ballpark to Mauer.. JM didn't sign with MIN because of the hometown appeal.. he signed because nobody else would commit to him as a catcher for 8 years I'm so glad we didn't trade for Santana.. that was a s*** storm coming and I suspect most arm chair GM's (like me haha) were crying against it.. Sox brass was smart to balk at it.. the Mets always have a knack for wanting something too much.. The Twins are in big time trouble for the foreseeable future and I'm fine with that as long as it keeps ticket prices down for when the Sox visit..

I'm keeping it.. I love this pic.. LOL @ Jimy Williams trying to restrain Crazy Carl.. he was kind of a s***** manager IMO

5 guys is pretty good.. not so keen on their fries though

Looks like you might get your makeup date after all I certainly hope so anyway!!

I can't believe I still have the Carl Everett bumping the ump incident for an avatar haha

well, you can't really compare a Savage promo to a backstage skit with Orton and Cena.. CM Punk:

I'm fortunate enough to have witnessed a game at many MLB parks across the country and I have a goal of hopefully seeing all of them before my last day on Earth... Fortunately I've been able to tear through quite a few before I turned 33 this past January.. Here's my list and a short description of my impression of each park I've attended: Fenway Park - Do I really need to get into detail here? One thing I can say is that of all the places I've seen a game, no place compares to the electricity that the fans generate on their own.. there's truly something special about it and we should be proud to say we OWN it. Metrodome - Easily the worst place I ever saw a game. It was the closest park to me for the past 10 years until Target Field opened up in 2010. Sightlines were crap, lights too bright, seats aligned for football.. Dome Dogs were cool though and getting a ticket was easy (and cheap) as hell. Target Field - nice replacement for the 'Dome.. good sightlines and the price isn't terrible for a new Park.. concourses aren't as big as I think they should be but at least you can see the field from almost anywhere.. upper deck in LF is too steep and you can't see the warning track up there.. Legend's Club is the best place to sit if you catch a game here Wrigley Field - It's like someone decided to plop an old park in the middle of a village. If you wanna see how Grandpa went to a game then this is it.. no fancy scoreboards and the only time the PA gets loud is during the 7th inning stretch.. the field itself is gorgeous though.. Cubs fans seem more interested in beer than baseball though.. also, getting here is a real pain in the ass. good luck finding parking.. it's way worse than The Fens in that regard. US Cellular Field - This place has some loud and rowdy fans.. There's nothing here that blows your mind but it's quite suitable for a game.. it's easy to get to and the atmosphere can get pretty electric. I think ChiSox fans care more than Cubbies fans. Doing it on the Southside feels more dangerous as well.. in a fun way. Progressive Field - This place is pretty amazing. Sightlines are almost perfect and it's the easiest park to drive to that I've ever been. The Angels were in town this night but for some reason all they wanted to do between innings on the video board is s*** on the Yankees (not that it's a bad thing haha).. Video board is tremendous as well. Tribe fans are lucky to have it. Great American Ballpark - I'd like to get back to this one someday as the weather made it hard to enjoy. But I did like it. It's close to downtown and parking is kind of confusing (lots are underneath some of the highways that wrap around Cincy) but the riverboat is cool and I like that it was built on the river. The upper deck seemed very high here and there's an odd break in it above the 3rd base on deck circle. they did a really good job in maintaining the history of the Oldest Professional Baseball Team though. I felt like Cincinnati was a baseball town while I was there. PNC Park - If it wasn't for my bias toward the Red Sox I'd put PNC at the TOP of the list. This is the perfect place to watch a baseball game HANDS DOWN and if you ever wanna see the Sox on the road I highly recommend it. BEST sightlines and being able to park across the Allegheny River and walk across the Clemente Bridge on your way in is also fantastic as you can see directly into the field as you walk across. Excellent job on facing the skyline too. Too bad Pittsburgh doesn't field a major league team here. Citizen's Bank Ballpark - Philly has awesome fans and the legends of heckling are true as far as I'm concerned. It's a lot of brick in one place but the park itself is beautiful and you feel very close to the action no matter where you are. You can also hang out directly above the bullpen and see pitchers warming up closer than anywhere I've been. It's kinda far from the city but why do people need to go into Philadelphia anyway? Old Yankee Stadium - This was a MONSTROUS place to see a game. The size of it blew me away the 1st time. I hated the concourses though and wasn't too keen on the bleachers being separated from the rest of the place. Monument Park was pretty cool to see but I'm not a huge fan of blue for a ballpark. Green makes it easier to see everything IMO. I was also there for the Final Game. It was just a giant. Intimidating is a good word. Tropicana Field - For a dome it isn't that bad.. It's still a dome though. I thought the sightlines were pretty good here and getting in was EASY and AWESOME (scored $120 luxury seat for $20) .. It's kinda like walking into a large strip mall when you walk through the doors though.. The Park is in a real s*** hole of a neighborhood as well and I was thankful that my car didn't get broken into when I returned. I was never a fan of regular season baseball in Florida anyway. Kauffman Stadium - I love this ballpark but if you want stuff to do around it before the game then I hope hanging out in a parking lot and staring at Arrowhead Stadium is your idea of a good time.. there is NOTHING around Kauffman besides 2 hotels and a BP.. you can drive 25 minutes into Kansas City and check out the Negro League Museum though.. I enjoyed it I'll be seeing Coors Field for the first time next week and I'm pretty excited about it.. 55,000 seats may have been a bit much though.. we'll see If anyone wants to add there $0.02 to this feel free.. Any parks you've been too that weren't mentioned here? Anything I didn't mention about a place that you remember from one of the parks mentioned? I just wanted to have a ballpark discussion thread

I, too, have been frustrated with the WWE for about 5 years now but the CM Punk angle they have going now is piquing my interest once again.. he's pretty much THE MAN nowadays
