Baseball Postseason Schedule 2008 – MLB Playoffs

Baseball Postseason Schedule 2008 - MLB Playoffs

The Chicago White Sox defeated the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday to earn the final spot in the 2008 baseball postseason. The White Sox won 1-0 and got their lone run on a Jim Thome homer. John Danks gave up only two hits for the White Sox over eight innings before Bobby Jenks threw a perfect ninth inning to seal the deal.

With the 2008 MLB playoffs set, here’s a look at the baseball postseason schedule:

Sarah Connor Could Be On The Ropes

Sarah Connor Could Be On The Ropes

Stop us if you have heard this refrain before, but the TV vultures are circling over Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles.  From our own Prison Break Buff comes word that FOX execs are at least partially blaming the Terminator lead-out for a dip in Prison Break ratings.

They’re saying FOX may not even use some existing episodes as they begin retooling the schedule in an effort to save Prison Break, which has long been a lynchpin of their lineup. Readers, what… More »

Ricky Williams Addicted to Talking About Pot

Ricky Williams Addicted to Talking About Pot

You know how we rag on celebrities *cough* Jessica Simpson *cough* who can’t stop talking about their boyfriends?

Well, starry-eyed starlets aren’t the only ones who babble about things that make them go hmm. Certain NFL players—say, let’s use Ricky Williams as a for instance—can keep up with the best of them. Except the object of affection isn’t a honey, it’s hashish.

The Miami Dolphins running back, an alum of the league’s substance abuse program, certainly likes his dope. He even copped to having the “urge” to puff,… More »

Mary-Louise Parker shares her hopes for Nancy on next season’s Weeds

Mary-Louise Parker shares her hopes for Nancy on next season's Weeds

We wrapped Weeds fourth season with a huge cliffhanger. Now Mary-Louise Parker’s sharing her hopes for Nancy in Season 5.

Her character has “a certain disconnect with who she is and her parenting skills,” MLP tells TV Guide, and that’s part of what makes the show so interesting.

Will Esteban spare his baby mama’s life next season? Parker won’t say for sure, but reveals “I hope it gets ugly.” Check out this video with more from the Weeds star on… More »

Buy Low Week 5 – Fantasy Football 2008

Buy Low Week 5 - Fantasy Football 2008

QB Marc Bulger, St. Louis Rams
The Rams have switched coaches and Marc Bulger is now back in as the starting quarterback. While he’s had a horrible fantasy season so far, he has the weapons to turn it around quickly.

RB Ryan Grant, Green Bay Packers
Slowed by injuries early on, Ryan Grant has been a bust so far in the 2008 fantasy football season. But his schedule gets easier and he seems to be healthy, so he should become halfway decent soon.

WR… More »

E-Games clamps down on Cabal botters

E-Games clamps down on Cabal botters

I got a really hilarious comment yesterday from a very angry player of Cabal Online Philippines. Yes, the comment is hilarious, but relevant to the problems plaguing IP E-Games’ latest baby.

Here’s an excerpt from the comment of player pintados26 (note: I took the liberty of translating it from my mother tongue into English):

Why do my characters always get blocked when I’ve already paid for the bot I’m using in Cabal Online? To think that I also topped up for premium… More »

Vancouver Names Luongo New Captain

Vancouver Names Luongo New Captain

The Vancouver Canucks have named goaltender, Roberto Luongo, their new captain.  It’s the first time a netminder has held that position for the team.  It’s interesting because the NHL doesn’t permit goalies to wear a “C” on his chest. I have to admit that, although I can kinda see how it makes sense, I was a little surprised by the decision. Watch Luongo and some of the other Canucks talking about the decision. Tell me, what do you… More »

Which NFL coach will be fired next?

Which NFL coach will be fired next?

First it was the St. Louis Rams canning Scott Linehan. Then, the Oakland Raiders finally fired Lane Kiffin. But, which NFL franchise will be the next to make a coaching change?

The Raiders finally pulled the trigger on Kiffin, firing him after weeks of speculation. Al Davis said he ‘picked the wrong guy’ when he chose Kiffin for the job. Linehan was canned by the Rams after starting the season 0-4. Yet, I have to wonder,… More »

Greg Oden Video – Oden Injured Again?

Greg Oden Video - Oden Injured Again?

Greg Oden didn’t start his 2008 NBA training camp the way he wanted. According to a report on the internet, Oden tweaked his ankle on the first day of training camp. After walking around gingerly, Oden reportedly retreated to a stationary bike.

After missing all of last season after undergoing microfracture surgery on his knee, any injury knees for Oden has to make Portland Trail Blazers fans nervous. Although from all accounts this latest injury scare is minor, it is definitely… More »

MetalMartyr.com 3.0, What Do You Think?

MetalMartyr.com 3.0, What Do You Think?

Slight changes going on here to try to clean things up a bit. Just about every metal sight I see follows the same format…its either black or red…sometimes white. Maybe these are the standard colors for metal sites and blogs, I don’t know. What I do know is that I like to set myself apart a bit one way or another. So to start things off, I wanted a different banner from the one I first created about a year… More »

Should Alabama be getting more votes in the polls?

Should Alabama be getting more votes in the polls?

It’s no secret the Southeastern Conference is the toughest conference in college football for 2008. Just last week the SEC had four of the top five teams in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. However, after a crazy weekend of football, I’m wondering one thing. Why is Alabama not getting more love in the polls?

The Tide have rolled just about anyone that they have played against. After taking down Clemson and Georgia, Alabama has a strong… More »

Dragonball: The Movie: The Game is Coming. HOORAY!

Dragonball: The Movie: The Game is Coming. HOORAY!

I’m not about to deny that the Dragon Ball franchise hasn’t earned the ridicule it often receives. I mean, the manga is fantastic, but who the hell reads manga anymore, except uninteresting old bats like myself.

When most people think about Dragon Ball, they think about the anime, specifically Dragon Ball Z, and then they stick a finger down their throats. The bits and pieces we know about the movie have all proven to be terror-inducing, and now the name… More »
