  1. WOW. hE retired not too long ago. RIP.
  2. Linkin Park, Shootyz Groove (kinda), Corporate Avenger (might be too hard to be considered 'rap'), Flak or Flip...I dunno, but they're on roadrunner records (they suck, and are broken up.), Etown Concrete (considered 'hardcore', but they rock, and rap).
  3. Was/Is Mike Gibbons (Head writer of Kiborn) hosting the show at all. I saw him talking during an advert last night, but fell asleep before the show.
  4. It sux that they took away 1 of Canada's TWO teams in baseball. They should've just moved to another town, since Montreal attendance was shitty. Quebec, maybe?
  5. Well, technically i think he does do an "opening segment." Monologues are supposed to be funny, though.
  6. yEA, plus don't forget that Kilborn was also party of 'Worldwide Pants', the same company that Letterman owns. So, I doubt he'll jump ship if he returns. This is horrible news. As others said this will tone down Conan. He won't be able to 'mess around' so often as he usually does with the earlier slot. The jokes will be less risque. And now, some stupid boob will get the 12:35. Kimmell. Please no. I'd rather watch Driesen(sp), the new host of the Late Late Show. Is he the new host? Carson Daly. Probably. He's NBC's little embryo late night talk show host in training. He also sucks the cak. Maybe they'll give it back to Letterman. He'll only be 65. ...
  7. Best hitter? The fucking babe! He was the greatest PLAYER ever. He could run with speed, pitch with effectivness and hit with power AND consistancy. Yea sure, the Era thing might play a little factor, but if anything baseball was harder back then...because the players didn't take enchancement drugs/steriods. And not only that, but I think the distance between home and the mound was actually shorter then. Also, players are more 'in shape' now. Harder workout routines. My point is, that today's players have it easier, AND are in better shape. Maybe Ichiro could make a vote for the best hitter in the last decade or so, but even that's tough, because he's only been hot for a couple of years now. I think it's really too early in his career to compare him to GREAT hitters, like Williams, Boggs, and Mays. Nomar is no where in this league. Back to bonds. Best power hitter? I'm sorry, but the steriod, or..."PERFORMANCE ENHANCERS" really get to me. Guys like Rose, Mattingly, Mays, Winfield....they accomplished great feats without that crap. IT (the steriods thing) all started with Mcgwire, who I think was just a notch below Bonds. Now, Vlad Guererro (on the Angels). Now THAT'S a real power hitter. In two years this guy will be Bonds re-incarnated. I'm not saying that Bonds is a shitty player...or even an average player. He is definately above average, but this drug things makes him the "Barry Bonds" of the last two years. Overated. I bet you he'll be like Giambi in a couple of years. Or like McGwire. Retired, with the side effects of excessive 'drug' use. And, of course we no Giambis deal. Big power hitter last year. Came through in the clutch many times for the yanks. he comes back this season, he's like 100lbs less than what he was before, and next thing you know he misses the whole season due to being 'weak'. Something's wrong with that, eh? Ricky Henderson: Best leadoff man ever?: Probably. He did hit alot of lead off hr's. And probably was one of the best base stealers ever. Best player ever?: No, but one of the best. Top 10. And whilke we're comparing...Am I the only one that thinks that Buck Showalter is an AMAZING manager.? He turned around the yanks, by managing them for a few years, rebuidling the team, and STARTING what Torre gets to inherit and finish. (Though I'm not putting down the Torre-Stottlemeyer combination. Legendary, and equally as effective. But I don't think Buck shoud've been fired) (Buck) Did a damn good job with the Diamonbacks Expansion team. Got fired. Took time off and did ESPN. Then gets right back in the game and does ANOTHER AMAZING JOB with the TExas Rangers, putting them in the pennat race for a good part of this season Though they'll probably JUST miss the playoffs, it's AMAZING what this man has done. He's very young, but he deserves to be in the playoffs. Yup. My sudden baseball rant of the day.
