Kimbo Slice Loses To Seth Petruzelli


Seth Petruzelli replaced Shamrock due to a training injury cut to the left eye that was sustained during a warm up only hours before the fight was to take place.

Kimbo Slice was supposed to be fighting Ken Shamrock, but Seth Petruzelli replaced Shamrock due to a cut to the left eye that was sustained during a warm up only hours before the fight was to take place.

Seth beat down Kimbo Slice is only 14 seconds. Ken Shamrock would have also destroyed Kimbo Slice.

The highlight of Elite XC after the Gina Carano fight was the news that Tito Ortiz was apparently a week away from signing a deal with Elite XC. Then Kimbo Slice was beat down not by Ken Shamrock, but by Seth Petruzelli.

Was Kimbo's loss a fluke? Only a rematch will tell.

Cubs Chokejob All Too Familiar


The Chicago Cubs were swept out of the postseason by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers and Cubs both scored the least ammount of runs in this series.

Here's My Postseason Rant On The Cubs:

2008 was supposed to be the Cubs year, as was 2003, 1998, 1989, 1984, 1969, 1945, and 1909.

2008 was different than any of these other years. Much different.

The Cubs had homefield advantage throughout the postseason. They had 97 wins, the best in the National League. Carlos Zambrano threw a no-hitter in September, and the Cubs led the league in runs scored, but you never would have known that the way they played in the postseason.

The Dodgers and Phillies have that one guy that's a gamechanger. For The Cubs, it was supposed to be Derrek Lee, but he hasn't been the same since Rafael Furcal collided with Derrek, breaking Derrek's wrist.

Alfonso Soriano had just one hit in the entire series. The Dodgers scouted him and all the Cubs well.

Give Credit to the Dodgers. They did everything right, while Chicago did almost nothing right. That's why LA won the series.

Manny Ramirez was the X-Factor of this series. Manny Ramirez had to hit two mammoth homeruns off Chicago pitching for the Cubs to discover something called "The Intentional Walk."

The Cubs did not play the same way they played in the regular season. It was almost like they felt the combined weight of 100 years and Cubs Nation on their shoulders.

Another season of promise for the Cubs ends with familiar dissapointment.

This Cubs chokejob was so dissapointing, yet it was also all too familiar.
