On the pre-game show, Joe and Ron tried to make the case that it’s non-save apperances that are making his numbers look bad, because he’s not as pumped up.
Personal problems aside, I wanted to check this to see if he’s right.
Non Save Games
4 Games
4 IP
13.50 ERA (6/4*9)
.518 OBP (10+4/27)
Save Games
6 Games
6 IP
1.50 ERA (1/6*9)
.308 OBP (3+5/26)
Hmmm. Need to check back to last season and see if it’s a trend.
Joe’s still in a bad mood re: the papers and their whole interview bit came off as defensive.
And then he pitched FINE today so maybe forget that
– So yeah, I watched the entire 93 minute match that Hero and Punk had this morning without stopping my tape to go take a crap or whatever and it’s really good. I wish the announcers woulda paid more attention to the matwork going on for the first 30 minutes, but that’s really my only gripe. I bet this match makes the list for DVDVR’s Best Indy Matches for the next decade!
– Teddy Hart vs. Trent Acid at the ECW Arena is a really insane spectacle. I would not call it a great match as they didn’t do anything wrestling-wise that had me hootin’ and hollerin’. But it’s fun to watch as the crowd heat is ridiculous. Trent Acid lets the female fans in ringside stick dollar-bills into his genitals. Teddy Hart is supposedly INSANE but he just seems like someone of the Van Dam/Dutt highspot-intensive variety.
– I am listening to the Japanese-released Ghost Dog soundtrack with RZA’s score and it fucking rules. The RZA is so underrated that it is rather ridiculous.
– CZW really fucking sucks. They’ve imported some touted workers like Hero, Rave, etc. but judging from that Revolution tape, I’d never pay $20 to see them live. And A.M.I.L. is horrible. God they fucking suck. Someone clothesline those negroes back to Compton.
– Speaking of black people, there sure don’t seem to be a whole lot of them well-known on the indies. Other than Kamala, Prince Nana and MONTY BROWN THE BAD ASS NEGRO. You’d think there would be more. I guess I’m the only one waiting for Tough Enough Kenny’s comeupance. He works indies in Las Vegas!
next on my wishlist from wrestleholicsvideos.com is
THE BEST OF DYNAMITE KID
and
THE BEST OF LOVE MACHINE ART BARR
So that’s the best of a drug addict and a rapist. Tremendous! I’ve already seen the EMLL PPV from 2000 with that great great great Atlantis/Villano 3 mascara contra mascara and I’d like to see more really good EMLL. So Cubs, Joe, Homer – tell me what episodes are hot and great and should be picked up by me immediately.
next week is the USA Pro show. oh, the joys of seeing Raven and Shane Douglas in a cage. And when you’re naming a tag team tournament after Big Dick Dudley – what exactly are the fans supposed to remember about him? That he sucked? These are the questions that keep me up at night, ladies and gentlemen. And boy did Smackdown suck.
Esteseses’ dog had trouble fetching the ball today.
I don’t like it when people call Alou “Mo”.
