  1. What's funny about Cubs Park is that if you went to Wrigley Field for a Cubs game, you could get decent tickets the day of and get them for dirt cheap off of Stub Hub.
  2. This has been the crux of the problems with voting for years now. As objective as I try to be, subjectivity sneaks it's way in and shit turns into a popularity contest or a way to troll others on the board, in a good mannered way. However, in Jae's example, he's breaking down performance quality based on what he's seen, instead of voting on who is cooler.
  3. I thought Cubs Park was supposed to be nice?
  4. WHAT WAS UP WITH SHIRLEY MANSON????? YOU TELL ME RIGHT NOW LIGER!!! YOU TELL ME BEFORE YOU GET ANOTHER T>V> SHOW!!! The T1000s were created by Skynet but were uncontrollable because of the way they were made.They allied themselves with the humans to take down Skynet. Are you being serious here? The non-liquid metal Terminators (T800s, HKs, etc.) were obviously part of a hive mind, but the T1000s were not? Or did they simply ascend from their stasis to sentience? If that's the case, why would they then align with humans and not just see humans as an irrelevant species that should be terminated? Not just that, but how would Skynet stop an army of T1000s?
  5. I wouldn't be so sure about Cena losing. It's really close. Both guys have positives and negatives that seem to equal out. It's a coin flip, I think.
  6. That's something else about Bray! That dude is REALLY committed to the character. I love that. You can look at the guy and clearly see that he has put a lot of time, effort, and dare I say "love" into crafting this twisted individual who stands out more than just about anyone since the Undertaker debuted. Ok, that may be a hyperbolic statement.
  7. It really is amazing. Javy Baez is making nearly everyone on the main roster look stupid. It sucks that Theo is going to keep Javy in AAA until he dominates the pitching there, but I get it. Hopefully he beats AAA into submission. And I've been paying a lot of attention to the Cubs in Spring Training this year and I'm starting to think that they had a sneaky good offseason. We'll see, but their starting pitching still isn't good or consistent enough to get the team over the .500 hump for this season.
  8. When this is all said and done, someone needs to go back and see if Cesaro moves through this tournament with the highest percentage of votes ever. I really feel like he has it in him to have that kind of a run.
  9. This is going to be a very interesting vote. I think that Bray as of late has really turned things up a notch and now his work in the ring is getting up there with his work on the mic. The addition of the flash/running Sister Abigail has been great as well. Cena feels like he's been coasting for most of this year and while he's been coasting, he has at times used Daniel Bryan's popularity as a way to get himself over. He's still the same old Cena in the ring, FWIW, but the most notable part about this past year for Cena, the Orton/Cena "feud," was very lackluster. I certainly don't think it comes close to touch Bray Wyatt's role in the feud with The Shield, Daniel Bryan, or anyone else.
  10. 50s yesterday, 40s today, tomorrow? Winter Storm. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
  11. Well, to start, this isn't about whether or not Punk did something wrong, but more strawmen please. Well, for starters, this is factually incorrect. It's even more retarded if you think a re-match that hasn't even taken place yet is already better than an already excellent match. That's what I was figuring/hoping for.
  12. Getting my shit in before this motherfucker is locked... Well, for starters, this is factually incorrect. It's even more retarded if you think a re-match that hasn't even taken place yet is already better than an already excellent match. You do realize that Brock fucking walks away all the Goddamn time, right? Like, he's going to have this Wrestlemania match, and then he'll be gone for another 4 months or whatever the fuck. Do any of you think before posting?
  13. Some of these reasons for voting for Brock are just dumb. I'd be more comfortable if someone said they voted for Brock based on how solid or loose of a shit they had this morning.
  14. I'm with you. If you want to purely go match for match, you have Punk vs... - Undertaker - Jericho - Brock - One of the Punk vs Shield matches, whether if that was one of the singles or handicap matches - Any number of Punk matches after that And then there's Brock vs... - HHH at Wrestlemania - HHH again - Punk - Big Show Again, the Wrestlemania match was...weird and the Big Show match was nearly a throwaway match. Folks, folks, Gonzalez is gone. There is no need for the anti-Punk fan vote.
  15. I feel bad for all of the families involved, but all I can ever think of when I see stories like this is LOST. And now I just realized that the LOST title used Arial for its font. Anyway, moving on, this also reminds me a lot of the flight that was bound for France or departed from France that was lost for awhile.
  16. I voted for Punk. I didn't see him stop giving a shit like some people here did and I thought his match against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania was a breath of fresh air. In fact, the entire build to that match was amazing. After that, he took his time off, came back and had the great match against Jericho at Payback, then came his program against Paul Heyman that had a satisfying end, which included the Punk vs Brock match. After that, Punk had the great series against the Shield, putting on great matches with most of those guys, except for the one match with Reigns. He was a little directionless during that period and after though. At times it seemed like he and Bryan would be a force together, but that didn't turn out to be the case. Then it seemed like it would be HHH against Punk, but that didn't turn out to be the case for the most part. He had the nifty Royal Rumble run, and then he left. Brock on the other hand had a few matches that were all pretty good, he destroyed Mark Henry, and he had the nothing match against Big Show where he beat the shit of Big Show with a bunch of chair shots. I love Brock Lesnar, but I don't see how his resume from this past year compares to Punk's. Casting my bias for Punk aside and looking at this objectively, it looks like people are voting against Punk more than they're voting for Brock.
  17. I'm also sad that this will be the end of Marty and Rust's adventures together. Maybe a season or two down the line they'll be brought back, but I don't know how any other season lives up to this.
  18. That's kind of what I was getting at. Both of these guys came from messed up backgrounds. Rust's is particularly dramatic, but Marty is a womanizer, destroys his marriage multiple times, etc. Through that time they're these super-detectives, but while they have this common bond, this fissure grows and grows until it all comes to a head when Rust and Marty's wife get it on. I look back to that moment and I realize that Rust was particularly upset because he knew it meant the end of the one and only friendship he had, as backwards as it was. There's another moment around that time where Marty tells Rust that he needs to go and get laid and how when he was getting some he was normal. I don't think there is any normal for Rust, but what really mattered to him was having Marty in his life. Skip to these last two episodes. At this point, their lives have gone so far off the rails that all the distractions are gone. Marty can finally see that Rust isn't crazy and Rust knows that he himself isn't crazy because Marty validates him. When Marty asks Rust if he went light on him, he clearly knows that Rust went light on him and could have seriously hurt Marty, but he didn't. The tension and pressure builds while they hunt down the Yellow King, and at that point they're all each other have. Both of these guys went on such an incredible journey to find out that, hey, we're really the best of friends even if our relationship is skewed at times. Not once did I ever think about that journey during this season until the finale and that's what I loved most of all about this season. Looking back, yeah, the story was about catching the Yellow King and unraveling the conspiracy, but the greater story was about Marty and Rust. Goddamn though, that re-telling of the events by Rust at the end of the episode was heartbreaking. If I lost my daughter, I would be just as fucked up.
  19. I feel like Javier Baez is the Ivan Drago of the Cubs. Everything he touches, he destroys.
  20. You know what's even scarier about Harper? He's already ridiculously good, but he's getting even better somehow. WWE needs to really find a way to make all the moneys off of Harper.
  21. I think what made me happiest is that it really felt like the completion of a 10 year journey between these two guys who fucked up every relationship they ever had, but somehow the love they have for each other was stronger than anything else. I find that to be incredibly touching and sweet.
  22. Fucking awesome. Really fucking awesome. Rust had me in tears at the end. Shit, even before that where Marty breaks down I was in tears. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
