I don't have my hopes up. I agree, no exciting improvements during the off season. There will probalby be teasing spurts that end up in a let-down. I'm a fan and hope I'm wrong.

[/quote] Amen to that one brother. Seriously Canseco, what a joke. [/quote] So,,, neither of you would tune in to watch him get stomped? I would. And if he suprises us with a win, I'd like to se that too. (even though he is a big joke)

Rebuilding or loaded; either way, Hooks is not taking the easy road.

Plus; Walker appears to carry himself respectfully. Jose just appears to be a douche. I wonder if he can pass the drug test.

Strikeforce in not rolling over and playing dead. When I watched the last Strikeforce event I have to admit one of the biggest draws for me was to see how Hershal did. Once again, Jose is a joke but its good for ratings.

I don't think Randy would be a good choice. There are several good LHWs out there though

Spider is certainly at the top of the #1 PFP debate and would pobably get my vote right now but I would love to see a fight with some one his equal, win or lose.

Maybe, just maybe, two long time good friends really don't want to go head to head. There may be a lot of sentimental issues there. I don't know; just saying.

UFC 110 looks to be a much better card. Some good fighters and close calls. Main Card Heavyweight Bout:  Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs.  Cain Velasquez Middleweight Bout:  Wanderlei Silva vs.  Michael Bisping Lightweight Bout:  Joe Stevenson vs.  George Sotiropoulos Light Heavyweight Bout:  Keith Jardine vs.  Ryan Bader Heavyweight Bout:  Mirko Filipović vs.  Ben Rothwell [Preliminary Card Light Heavyweight bout:  Elvis Sinosic vs.  Chris Haseman Light Heavyweight Bout:  Stephan Bonnar vs.  Krzysztof Soszynski Welterweight Bout:  Chris Lytle vs.  Brian Foster Middleweight Bout:  C.B. Dollaway vs.  Goran Reljic Light Heavyweight Bout:  James Te-Huna vs.  Igor Pokrajac

109 slipped up on me and I didn't get to watch it. I wasn't very excited about the card anyway. Couture is getting old and knows how to control a fight to fit his age and condition. The problem is, it makes for a very boaring fight. He did the same thing with Vera.

If your going by these guidlines you need to flush your car keys down the toilet during the pregame

Yeah I expected more outta Tubbs as well. ::) [/quote] We're talkin Basketball here. With his BB success I expected a little more

I really expected more progress when Tubbs came into the picture

Something stinks. Even his nobody opponent made $2000.

[quote name="AJ25" post="754244" timestamp="1265167750"] They don't need to improve THAT much... This is the same team that was 1 game out of first place at the beginning of August. The same team minus Miggy. This is an improved team, with a better and more experienced (Paulino, Bazardo, and Norris) rotation. This will be an improved club. I don't know if we will make the playoffs, but it will be improved. [/quote] I hope your right but I'm not sure. The same team as last year = Burkman, Lee, Ozwalt, Blum, Matsui and others are one year older, heavier and slower. I'm not saying these guys can't play but there has not been much overall team improvement. JMO

[quote name="venom33" post="754664" timestamp="1265228937"] just read walkers "disclosed" purse is $600 with NO win bonus! c'mon... $600? it was made clear numerous times that his ENTIRE purse would be donated to charity....what a generous,generous [s]guy[/s] millionaire! [/quote] No way. If that was the case I'd say Strikeforce would be the cheapskates

[quote name="venom33" post="753248" timestamp="1265060243"] oops, i forgot.... i wonder why gsp was there? i understand guys are spectators at other events but it was odd for them to not only show him in the crowd but introduce him. if this is common why didnt they show other ufc fighters and make it a point to introduce them? i wonder how dana feels about that? [/quote] I wondered the same thing. Why was he there front row and did Dana care or have something to do with it.

It was on Showtime. I don't have ST so i don't know what channel. Watched it on line

I don't know what he was paid but he made clear that it all went to charity.

Yea, Lawler came from nowhere and it was over. He couldn't have lasted much longer with the beating he was taking to the legs. It was pretty clear Walker just wants to fight with no hype claims or goals. I liked watching him. Cyborg is a freak!! If she ever finds anyone that can compete with her its going to be heck of a fight.

Hershal looked alright at age 47. Sure needs to work on his footwork though. What's up with the baby steps?

I haven't kept up with recent trades or acquisitions. Tejada is a huge hole to fill in the roster and was a real key player last year, one of my favorites. What do they have now or what will they do?

[quote name="bullets13" post="748961" timestamp="1264376606"] we tried to go in the intercoastal, but they sent us packing because of the oil spill.  then we were fishing for flounder by the coast guard station, but apparently we were too close, even though there were no signs up saying we couldn't fish.  then, at the end of the trip, we were told that the whole waterway all the way to the jetties was shut down, and we needed to return to the boat ramp immediately.  the coast guard cutter was even kind enough to sit and watch while we packed up, not leaving until we had gotten the boat started. [/quote] I guess they know trouble when they see it  :D
