That shows you how much I follow it anymore.

Selig will NEVER EVER let an MLB team back in Montreal in his lifetime.
Texas is a big state, but adding a third MLB team when the Astros are struggling to stay alive -- I doubt it.
Not sure about if there's a market for MLB in any other Confederate states, that don't already have a team.
I think if a team moves or a new one is added, they will move further west again, whether its Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Portland, Vancouver, or Calgary. Could Sacremento support a team? Would they allow a 6th team in California? I think it'll happen in those spots, before another east coast team gets added, unless Selig decides to create a team for San Juan, PR.
There were rumors awhile back that if the A's can't get the Giants to lift their AAA territory rights over San Jose, CA, that the A's might move to another city and get the hell out of Oakland, beyond San Jose.

X-Pac was on The Cowhead Show (radio) and said that Paul Bearer's wife died a few years ago, and Paul Bearer had just kinda lost the will to live. Don't know how true it was, but interesting stuff.
RIP Paul. You were apart of THE GREATEST gimmick in the history of pro wrestling imo.

I picked up MLB 13: The Show for PS3 last week. Haven't bought a new baseball game since MLB 10. It's taken alot of work for me to get used to advances to the hitting mechanics.
Also pretty weird to see Andrew McCutchen on the cover of The Show. I went to high school with Cutch. REAL weird to see someone like that you know is being sold nationally, on baseball's "Madden".
#1255 Re: Management » Issues with Italic tags » 713 weeks ago
And you're right, that does work. It only seems to not work right when I copy/paste from a news website, like an article, then but the italic tags at the beginning and end of the article, something throws it off.
It used to work all the time, so it isn't like I don't know what i'm doing, it just stop doing it. All of the tags are correct. I've quadruple checked over and over.

I heard they let Ron sing on a solo song at the last show.
Jesus H, just let Tommy do it.

All Sky Dog posts should be put on ignore, until he learns to use YouTube tags.
Agree?
#1259 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dizzy Reed:"I’m very proud of Chinese Democracy" » 713 weeks ago
Pretty good Dizzy interview. Loved his story about Coop. So funny there, total rockstar moment, haha!
In fairness to Dizzy about "the best band", he joined GN'R at a time of intense internal strife. The cliques had already been formed with Slash, Duff & Matt (because of his time with The Cult being on tour with GN'R), and Dizzy was out of place. Even some of those 1993 interviews with Dizzy and the rest of the band looked obviously uncomfortable. Dizzy looked like a nice guy (maybe too nice?) that was NOT apart of Slash & Duff's clique at all, and he looked uncomfortable in those interviews. The band looked stiff around him.
I don't blame Dizzy for thinking this is the best band he's ever been in. It's THE MOST STABLE version of GN'R he's ever been with. Dizzy has seen these guys, and hanged with these guys, and just been bandmates with these guys longer and more consistently then he EVER WAS with both the UYI lineup, and the CD-studio lineup performing from 2001-02 with sproadic shows and a cancelled doomed 2002-03 tour.
I've seen these guys live. Not only do they ALL have chemistry, they ALL seem to LOVE being around each other. I've seen that. Even the shirt Russ picked up from the Hard Rock for me, it oozes off the shirt the guys all liking each other.
Don't blame Dizzy at all for making that comment. From his perspective, I would agree too it's probably the best band he's ever been in.
I've seen the band (and enjoyed the show) and I don't consider them to be GnR.
I don't either. Show wise, Axl was vocally there enough, and with an extended set (with Estranged) in 2011, that I got a better show and thus got to see these guys perform together. Ron (believe it or not) seemed to be the one guy in the show I saw that was phoning it in (yes, Ron). He looked in TONS of pain, and uncomfortable. I felt bad for him. I wanted to throw him some dope from the stands, like Popeye spinach and turn Ron into SuperBumble.
The band I saw in 2011 had TONS MORE chemistry than the band I saw in 2006. Robin stuck out like a sore thumb, because the chemistry wasn't there. At least not at the two shows I saw. Tommy stayed far away from Robin, Ron was new, and Richard was distant. Only Axl seemed to kinda acknowledged Robin.
Yada yada yada, anyways, I don't consider this band Guns N' Roses, or ANY version of new GN'R to be Guns N' Roses, because Axl never ever gave these guys a chance to be Guns N' Roses. He can blame it all on the label, but alot of Axl being strong-armed by the label come from his attitude and Team Brazil. Don't blame the label because you decided to be a dick. Axl said one honest thing in his last interview... "ultimately it'll still be my fault regardless". True words.
#1260 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron says 'Just Forget About A New Record Until It Happens' » 713 weeks ago
I still don't think it takes Axl for this BAND to write. Why can't DJ, Ron, Rich, Tommy, Frank, Dizzy & Chris get together as a band and write THEMSELVES? Why are they relying on Axl? Axl has relied on this format since the earlier days of GN'R in the mid-80s. THE BAND writes, and Axl spit shines it and brings it together.
They all don't even have to work imo. DJ, Ron & Rich can write together. Tommy can do solo jams with GN'R in mind. Dizzy & Chris can come up with melodies and keyboard synth, and Frank can 'fill' in when needed. Boom, you have underlying instrumentals for the next album. Take it to Axl, and see what he thinks.
Why is it Axl's problem what THEY do as a band? Axl's not holding "a Gun" pardon the expression to their heads and saying "you can't write anything with GN'R in mind without me".
They've already kinda done it, unless Axl hated it. DJ's Ballad of Death (which I think is awesome), DJ's Mi Amor (which is not that great, but an okay B-side), Tommy collaborating with Rich & Dizzy on "One Man Mutiny" which I consider the closest to a GN'R song we've gotten since CD, and the feel of the song has a real GN'R Lies appeal. Dizzy & Chris were supposed to be collaborating, but we never heard any of it, and according to DJ, Axl still breaks out the piano when at home and works, so umm....
What the hell man? Where's the fuckin' music at? There's no way 7-8 guys are all conspiring together to lie to everyone on seperate occasions. I think they have written bits n' pieces and Axl didn't give a shit is the problem.
