    For some reason I drank Summer Shandy the last two nights... I think it's because I didn't buy it. It tastes like someone made lemonade flavored Kool-Aid and only used half of the packet.

    The Ultimate Fighter has sucked for years. I'm an MMA fanatic - like I watch every single show I can from everywhere - but I can't watch that garbage anymore. All it does is put below average fighters in the UFC and keep far better/more proven guys out. For instance, a guy like Alex Caceres - he got absolutely tooled on by Mackens Semerzier, and guess what? He gets another fight in the UFC because he's "Bruce Leeroy". Never mind that lightweight is one of (if not the) deepest divisions in the sport and that there are tons of solid 155'ers all over the world that are far more deserving of that roster spot and pay day.

    Damn, that pretty much sucks. He was a good in-ring performer.
  4. brettac1
    He's the kind of guy that will get traded in August or September when he comes cheaper and a team wants a power-type bat on the bench in the playoffs.
  5. brettac1
    That was a pretty quick about face.
  6. brettac1
    I think he's a cool player. I'd watch him as a Buck.

    I don't think any team is going to offer a decent middle IF guy for a backup catcher. You can find 30 Wil Nieves' in AAA/AA.

    In was while talking about Morgan that he brought that up. I'm not interested in "good guys". I'm interested in guys like Morgan, etc. that aren't.

    More people than ever watched wrestling in the late 90's because of the edginess, etc. It was literally watercooler talk for the parents and was playground/bus talk for the kids. There's no way a 40 year old goes to work on Tuesday morning now and talks about how John Cena was "hustling" or whatever the garbage he does is. Not like when they wished they could walk in, flip off their boss, kick him in the gut, and drop him with a stunner. If a guy did that now, I would point and laugh at him.

    I'll certainly miss the guy. He was funny and was an amazing hitter. I was listening to Melvin talk about the lack of interesting characters in the game the other night during the TV broadcast and instantly thought of Manny. Loved watching him and he's as much of an HOF'er as I have ever seen. Awesome.

    Kottaras, in my eyes, has far more value to this year's team than Nieves would. If Lucroy were to catch 80% of the games, I don't understand what positive impact a guy like Nieves could have. Kottaras is capable of going deep of drawing a walk, at least. The value a defense-only backup playing that little bit provides is slim - especially since Nieves' defensive skill is perception and not reality.

    He and Scully are quite different stylistically, but yes, both are great.
  13. brettac1
    Yeah, he definitely understands the business. Aside from booking himself to be champ, etc.
  14. brettac1
    Yeah, that is too bad. Wrestling fans are what made Vince a billionaire.
  15. brettac1
    Yeah, it comes down to the lack of competition that led to the PG product. He was fine doing absolute dreck in the mid-90's before WCW came along and started throttling them with original storylines and live programming. Basically, another organization has to heat up in a similar way. I basically quit watching when I got a driver's license (so, 2000), and would maybe watch a little here and there. Obviously, TNA isn't going to be the competition, because they are seemingly doing all the stuff WCW did when it got bad at the end. Someone needs young, fresh, charismatic, etc. talent and to push them. However, they made money hand over fist in the late 90's with adults buying loads of merch. However, like brwrsfan said, they don't have the stars. Maybe a part of that is the whole brand extension thing of having seperate shows. The dangerous/unpredictable thing would work with Orton if the guy had any charisma or mic skills. Really, he should just be a rock solid mid-carder type guy in the mold of a Benoit who has the potential to get higher up if things break right.
  16. brettac1
    I would imagine he will be in there right away. Otherwise there wouldn't be any reason to activate him today.
  17. brettac1
    I was a huge nWo mark, so WCW was my show. WWF really got their act together quickly back then, though. We used to flip back and forth between the two shows, and then also order every single WCW/WWF/ECW PPV. It truly was the golden age. It all got to be so good when they got more "reality" based.

    You would think now that the election is done with that they could get a little more edge to the product. I sort of felt like maybe there was some Attitude Era stuff bleeding through during Mania - like with Stone Cold, but of course they had to bleep everything for 15 seconds straight. I think the fans definitely want something like that back. Like I said, I don't watch the weekly programming much (if at all) but when I do, I definitely find it boring. On the other hand, I have been watching old stuff for a while and have been entertained by it - the wweclassics.com site is pretty sweet for only $4 a month you get access to a pretty huge video library of old school wrestling. Even stuff like the AWA, all the old territories, etc. Only bummer is that there isn't much in the way of old Nitros, since I guess they show them on the On Demand cable channel.
  19. brettac1
    I'd rather just have Kottaras and Almonte than Nieves. I can't see where Nieves really adds anything. I think Melvin needs to be scouring the entire league for guys with AAA out clauses, etc. because there is no way this should be the finished product bench. The bench should be tweaked and (hopefully) upgraded throughout the season.
  20. brettac1
    I agree that 35 PA aren't a valid sample, but the 3000 preceding are a pretty good one, and they demonstrate that the guy can't hit. He struggles to get on base at even a .300 clip. There really isn't a place for a guy like that, in my opinion.

    I'm happy we didn't get the rain in Wausau. The river is already ridiculously high and I want to fish on it this week. I believe it was supposed to crest today. Though I guess they got about 2" of rain in the Merrill area, so it doesn't matter all that much.
  22. brettac1
    I agree that Lucroy definitely has potential, but I think with him missing all of ST, that's not going to help his development a whole lot. Basically, I just am hoping that Kottaras stays. I don't care all that much that "not many are better" than Nieves at blocking balls, according to Schroeder. It's straight up Nichols' Law stuff.
  23. brettac1
    Definitely one of my favorite calls in a long time. He was jacked.
  24. brettac1
    This has been a horribly overrated storm in the Wausau area. Not even a drop of rain. Just some wind.
  25. brettac1
    Yeah, Stetter is definitely gone. He's not good, really at all. My guess is that it's he and Mitre that go.
