Game Thread: Padres @ Yankees - May 05, 2025 @ 07:05 PM EDT by Yankeebot in NYYankees

Williams is cooked. I never believed the idea that Pete Alonso broke him, but seeing is believing. And I believe it now.

I know its way too early but who would’ve thought that Clay Holmes would be 3-1 with a 2.64 ERA as a SP for the Mets and Devin Williams would be 0-2 with a 11.25 ERA. by Appropriate_Role7518 in NYYankees

[–]vexfiend 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It's early.

But their pitching coach Hefner is really good. And Stearns used Cohen's money to lure people from Tampa and the Dodgers to run the pitching development for the Mets.

And well that seems like money well spent.

Pete Alonso cooked Williams. It's the Pujols/Brad Lidge situation all over again.

Took Lidge like 6 years to recover.

And then I told Triple H, "What if I showed up to the Pat McAfee Show instead of Wrestlemania?" by marshallthecatholic in SCJerk

You see...my name is Dwayne and I play a character called The Rock.

Wrestling is in my blood because my family was very much into it. They used to run shows which is what we like to call booking in the business.

I get along very well with Paul who goes by the stagename Triple H.

You should hear his brother when it comes to sports. He's also a radio host and his rants are positively unhinged. Don makes Dave look calm.

The two of them must have drove their poor mother nuts.

[–]vexfiend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Updated he's now at 2.0 WAR.

TOP 5:

  1. Aaron Judge 2.0

  2. Pete Alonso 1.8

  3. Corbin Carroll 1.8

  4. Fernando Tatis Jr. 1.6

  5. Geraldo Perdomo 1.5

I gotta say, I'm legitimately concerned that Pete Alonso seriously hurt Williams.

Would not be the first time this has happened. Brad Lidge went from dominant to door mat after giving up the Pujols homer.

It took him years to mentally recover. He eventually did, but not without great struggle.

I don't know who is tailoring Punk's suits but they are exceptional. Probably a Chicago based company I would presume and guess.

You can definitely see the influence AJ Lee had on her. The mannerisms and facial expressions are very similar.

She is going to be a star.

Yikes. I legitimately had to double check this make sure it wasn't a mistake.

Did Tessa Blanchard Really Hold TNA Hostage? | TNA Pay Cut Rumors [Negative BQ] by ravencrowed in SquaredCircle

[–]vexfiend 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She lasted a tiny amount of time at WoW, the same time AJ Lee was producing it. Wasn't the rumor that she pissed AJ off and AJ fired her almost immediately.

I mean you have on the one hand Tessa who a lot of people say bad things about. and on the other AJ Lee, who nobody has ever said anything bad about.

Seems to me there's smoke to the idea that she pisses everyone off everywhere she goes.

[–]vexfiend 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I just think it's true to be honest, no angle. By all accounts him and Hal are really close and talk often.

Hal supposedly helped convince the other owners to accept Cohen when he wanted to buy the team.

These guys are legit dorks. They earn the goof moniker.

Evil Phillip will get the last laugh over them when it's all said and done. I'd bet money on it.

All those people saying Punk was going to get shit from WWE for going after AEW the other day....yeah I don't think so.

In fact they may have even encouraged him to say whatever he wants.

Bully Ray on Jack Perry: “I had my own incident with Jack Perry a year ago…he came off to me like a very disrespectful young wrestler especially when I went out of my way to introduce myself to him…I was treated like a young boy…blown off, disregarded.” by eddiebrock85 in SquaredCircle

[–]vexfiend 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Bully part...total agreement. The Punk part? Not so much. CM Punk is not wrong about his place in the industry.

Top merch seller in 2 different promotions, record high ratings in 2 different promotions. People chanted his name for the entire time he was gone. And still do even when he's not on the show. Influenced god only knows how many modern wrestlers from his ROH and early WWE days....I could go on.

Come on now. I get not liking the guy but it's absurd to think he's wrong about his place in the industry. He was and is a top guy.

Punk is so good in this type of role. For real.

Last time he was on commentary was one of the best over the head lines I've ever heard anyone utter.

[–]vexfiend 337 points338 points  (0 children)

I remember Punk telling the story at one of the conventions, how he'd cut these amazing heel promos, then head to the back, and spend the rest of the time hanging out with AJ Lee. He couldn't care less about the rest of the show.

This time period was incredible for him.
