Neutral Site for the World Series

I saw the talking heads on ESPN chatting about this practically all day yesterday and I just wanted to get a quick post in to tell you why it's a ridiculously stupid idea. First off, don't baseball teams, at least somewhat, build their roster around stadiums? If you play at a park with a short field, for instance Fenway, you get guys who can hit home runs. If you happen to play at a pitcher's park, well you tailor your roster to that. If baseball were to actually do this, and they probably won't, it would be just their luck that next season it'd be Cubs and Yankees in the Series, only they'd be playing 7 games in Houston. How does that make any sense? A far better solution is to simply eliminate some of the travel days, or perhaps you could even knock a few games off the schedule so that the playoffs wouldn't be ending in November next year. Of course, the latter will never happen as owners wouldn't think of giving up a couple of their 162 paychecks. Just a quick rant there, I'm done now. One final note, congratulations to the city of Philadelphia on finally winning a championship in a major sport. Also congratulations to whoever hit this dude in the head with that vodka bottle, that was a hell of a throw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfEq8K5GtlM

Kryptonate Didn't Win, Superman Lost.

This emerald colored sprite is your 2009 Slam Dunk Champ. This doesn't bother me because of the dunks Nate Robinson did. His dunk where he jumped over Dwight Howard in the finals was downright epic, even if he needed to push off Dwight's shoulder and still rubbed his junk on Dwight's head. He's like 5'8 and jumped over a 7 footer...and then he dunked a basketball. I'm 6ft tall and I can barely touch rim with no one in my way. I also admit that the green jersey to make him Kypto-Nate to Dwight Howard's "Superman" was a nice touch. The thing is... Dwight Howard should have won, but he did his dunks in the wrong order. For his 2nd dunk in the first round, he brought out a 12 foot hoop, ducked into a phone booth, came out in his Superman cape, and threw in a Jameer Nelson pass off the backboard with ease. Between the theatrics and the actual dunk, this was my favorite dunk of the night. He got a 50 on the dunk, which is a perfect score for those uned...

Rays Shine; Advance to Series

Wanted to get a quick post in congratulating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on making it to the World Series. Hold on, one more thought, I just got word that Coach K is dropping the word Devil from the Blue Devils team name this fall in hopes of not bowing out in the second round yet again. And yes, that was the absolute worst post title I could come up with.

There are too many good video games coming out, and my wallet is going to hurt

With all the pre-ordering that my card is going to be suffering in the coming months, I feel like I should buy an "I'm sorry" card and place it directly into my wallet.  Not to mention my social life outside of video games. So long, all three friends I have outside the digital world. So long, whatever hours I considered sleeping in. Come to think about it, this may be one of those situations where spending money might actually result in me saving money.  Oh, what's that? You want me to come out with you and be in public and be around people I don't feel like being around and spending $5,000 on a poorly made house vodka and Red Bull? GET LOST, NERDS!! I've been trying to find some games to invest in which will occupy my time while I'm inevitably banned from communications because some turd reported me for WHOOPIN' DAT ASS in Rocket League. I broke it down to my top 3, with an honorable mention...because that's how awards are given out nowadays...
