Fixing the WordPress glitch, part 6

There are many people not in the know that try to claim Brett Hart was the best wrestler ever. They bought into his lame “The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be” gimmick and then proceeded to wet their pants. Brett Hart was weak. He was a accomplished professional wrestler with great technical skill. And that was about it. He was weak on the mike, weak as an in-ring storyteller and was a champion at one of the lowest points in professional wrestling. And we are supposed to get giddy over that?

Look, The Jon will not deny the guy’s talent. But there was just something about him that rubbed The Jon the wrong way. After watching one of his 500 matches on the Mr. Perfect DVD, The Jon finally knew what it was. But The Jon had to wait a week to discuss with one of the only people The Greatness respects when talking about pro wrestling. Yep, Jay Z Lover.

So The Jon got the Perfect DVD.
And saw all of his matches with Brett hart.
The Jon have finally found out why The Jon hates Hart.
………………………………
………………………………….

Why is that?
Because he is from Canada?
…………………………………
…………………………………
…………………………………

Racist … er countryist!
No.
When he puts people over.
He doesn’t really put them over.
………………………………………………..
………………………………………………..

Perfect never did beat him did he?

…………………………………
…………………………………
…………………………………
……………………………………………

Probably not. But when he did lose. He never looked like he lost. The match was always dictated by his moves and his storytelling. In his most famous putting over … HE EFFIN WON.

…………………………………
…………………………………

That is true.
When he lost
he still looked like the good guy.

…………………………………
…………………………………
…………………………………

So it is broken down into four reasons.
1) Hart and Flair don’t get along.
2) Hart never puts anyone over.
3) Hart truly sees himself as a hero.
4) His matches are all the same with the same lame spots and five moves of doom.

I have to say I thought he was a lot better when I was younger.
Some of his matches were good
…Thank you HBK and Perfect …
but he does have the five moves of doom.

…………………………………
…………………………………
…………………………………

That Perfect match was not that good.
And he faced Michaels when Michaels was the best wrestler around. Michaels had the match with the ladder. Michaels had a match with a stiff that didn’t want to lose.
………………………………………………….

I look at the WWE roster now
and HBK may still be the best wrestler.
………………………………………………
………………………………………………
………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………

As much of a bitch Michaels
was before he found god,
he is probably one of the
top 5 wrestlers of all time.

Flair
Muta
Stone Cold
Rock
Michaels

He was Mr. backstage politics
and I agree with that list.

Man.
The Jon needed to get that off The Jon’s chest.
Never go on vacation again.

Sorry.
I will make sure
to check with you first.

Cool, by the way,
Brooke Hogan has breast implants.
Peace.

The Jon knows these thing to be true: Week 19

Bronson Arroyo, you bum. After crying last week how The Jon was out of the playoffs, The Jon still has a slight chance after a shellacking to our Waste of Space fantasy owner. Seeing how the trading deadline was Sunday, The Jon has been busy all week getting Evan Longoria. Once that deal was done, The Jon saw Carlos Lee was available also and gave up a third round pick in next year’s draft.

Then Carlos Lee gets hit by a pitch by Arroyo and my pick and slim chance of the playoffs are all but gone. Just like that, the best hitter and front-runner fantasy MVP is out for the year. The Jon is beyond mad … only one thing can make me happy …

The Jon knows these things to be true: Week 15

With the All-Star game this week, fantasy baseball heads into a short week with a smidge of games Thursday followed by three days of a normal schedule. In honor of the shotened week, The Jon is going to chill on The Jon’s Monday Morning Diatribe and keep it short. It reeks of “a video history” combined with “which baseball star are you” around here. So here it is.

First up is the Jon with Ice Cube back when he was good with Dead Homiez. The title is The Jon’s team with something like four straight losses and a current 7th or 8th place standing. This is nothing new. The Jon’s teams are always a trial in patience. It still sucks, and The Jon might not look at fantasy baseball for a couple of weeks.

Pitcher’s duel

It started off sweetly enough. The Oz e-mailed The Jon saying how much he respected The Jon and wished he could be like The Greatness … but it quickly turned ugly.

One bitter fantasy player with only one title talking about his poor excuse for a pitching staff to the best Fantasy Baseballer of all time … Like The Oz could ever be the champ that The Jon is with his sorry excuse he calls pitching.

Come to think of it, The Oz has always been a Magnum T.A. to The Jon’s Ric Flair. And so has his pitching staff.

Read on and judge for yourself …

The Jon knows these things to be true: Week 9

At the beginning of the season, this is how The Jon’s offense walked into a weekly matchup. The squad was stacked with Jorge Posada, Adrian Gonzalez, Placido Polanco, Rafael Furcal, Chipper Jones, Ichiro, Vladimir Guerrero, Magglio Ordonez and Curtis Granderson.
After three weeks of no RBI futility, The Jon’s team heads into a matchup like this:

But instead of Chip and Dale, uhhhh …

It’s more like Vlad and Granderson.

Losers.

But enough of the bleeding heart routine, lets talk fantasy baseball.

The Four Horsemen: A video history

Just back from a rendezvous in Cambridge Massachusetts, and The Jon gets the news that the WWE retired Ric Flair? Ric Flair of the Four Horsemen, the elite gang of professional wrestling? You know The Four Horsemen, the charter member of The Jon’s Man-crush Club? Part of The Jon has been seriously hampered knowing Ric Flair will no longer show off his shoes that cost more than my house, pal. Whether his retirement is real is up for debate, but to honor the best in the business, the Video History returns. While not as extensive as the L.O.N.S. retrospective it will still relate to fantasy baseball.

Ichiro (vs.) Crawford

Newspaperman has been slobbering over The Jon revisiting the Ichiro vs. Crawford debate, but it won’t happen. There is no debate. Ichiro is hands down the better player. This one of the reasons why The Jon created this site is so real fantasy baseballers such as yourselves have an option from the misguided experts permeating the Internet landscape today. Anyone that can sport a japanese version of a high-top fade deserves to be ranked higher. Carl Crawford doesn’t even know what a high-top fade is.

Tag Tuesday

Here at TheBaseballStars we are not against self promotion. We want to be read. Now we could tell all of our friends to check out our site to tell them to tell all of their friends and then we could have hands across America and then the world and then we would be the most famouses people in the world. And yeah, I meant to have a lot of “and thens” and I meant to say famouses, but there is one problem: We play fantasy sports … we don’t have a lot of friends. It is at these times when The Jon shows his true vision. Welcome to Tag Tuesday.Here’s how it works. The Jon writes about what The Jon wants to write about. You guess what tags come out of it. The first one is pretty easy
