It's still foggy outside.
President Obama has been in office for a couple of hours now and it's still just as foggy outside as it was when Bush was President this morning.
Change my ass.
Oh, and we got Bedard for another year, at least.... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3846940
He's the ray of sunshine this city needs to get rid of this fog. Erik Bedard will accomplish what Barack Obama was never able to do.

MLB Divisional Odds
Maybe I'm being a little superfanish... I mean Sean and I haven't even had our Mariner's pump up conversation (each year we talk ourselves into how each player needs to perform and why we'll win the division), but check out this link on the odds to win the divisions for each team:

I can't vouch for the accuracy of this site, in fact I barely looked at it... but aren't we the best bet on there?

The Royal Rumble / HCM Anthology Part 1
Erik:
Alright, let's do it to it, let's get this party started. And now for the Rumble that drew #10!
.......1989
Winner: Big John Studd
Final 4: Studd, Ted DiBiase, Akeem, Rick Martel (Strike Force)
#1 & 2: Ax & Smash
#30: DiBiase
The first real Rumble gets on my list at number 10. There was nothing overwhelmingly great about this Rumble, but by getting #10 I'm basically just saying it was better than half of them. What sells me on this one is the overall storyline: Ted DiBiase had bought #30 and the help of the
Smash (Looks at the number he's just drawn): It's gonna be a long night.
Ax (Looks at his): You said it.
Or something along those lines. Their double-team on Andre was good, along with Andre eliminating himself due to his fear of Damien. Another lasting moment was Hogan's "accidental" elimination of Macho Man, stoking the flames of a feud that would culminate in the most homo-erotic World title match ever at WrestleMania V. Also, Hogan was eliminated with help from the outside establishing a standard for the only way he could possibly not win a Royal Rumble.
Alright, the lists are underway. Whaddaya got big bro?
Finn:
Strong #10, if not just a liiiiiittle predictable. I don’t have much to add on that one, except this: Smash actually says: “Me too”. Bit of an easter egg to the kids paying attention at home. Smash was # 2 later that night.
My # 10 is 1994
Winner: Bret Hart / Lex Luger
Final 4: Bret Hart, Lex Luger, Shawn Michaels, and Fatu (One of these things does not belong here…. One of these things is not the same)
#1 & #2: Scott Steiner and Samu (Awful… just awful)
#30 Adam Bomb (he doesn’t have that good of an arm)
(quick side noet: This is the infamous PPV where Owen Hart tells Bret he “Kicked his leg out of his leg”)
There are a LOT of negatives about this rumble, like the first two dudes coming in followed by the mysterious Kwang and a sedated Rick Steiner (seriously, what the fuck was his problem that night). The beginning of this Rumble is painfully boring, even with the Diesel domination. Capped off by an unforgivable barely caught weak elimination of Macho Man Randy Savage. Although Backlund almost screwed everything up by dumping Diesel. That would have been funny.
What saves this Rumble for me is the drama of whether or not Hitman would be able to compete, and when he does he wins (with Lex, who’s paralyzed right now, so I’ll go easy). I especially oved when they cut off Luger’s music and Hitman’s starts. He turns around and yells “alright!!!”. Maybe the last time Bret was truly happy.
That’s what I got. What’s your number 9?
Erik:
…
Finn:
Okay... got tired of waiting. So here's my #9...
2004
Winner: Chris Benoit
Final 4: Chris Benoit, Big Show, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho
#1 and #2: Chris Benoit and Randy Orton
#30: Gooooooldberg
Chris Benoit goes from # 1 to win it all. I wish he'd come in at 4 to cross another number off the 
list, but I digress... There's the cool #1 vs #2 that carries the first half of the Rumble until Mick Foley appears as a surprise entrant eliminating Orton. Then the end has some great stuff. It's the Big Show stand... he takes finishing moves from Jericho, RVD, Cena, Angle and Benoit, then rallies back to the finals, (that may be the best group of pure wrestling talent in a final group). Then we get to possible the best final elimination in the history of the Rumble. Not the best Final 4 (but close), not the best finals, but the best actual elimination. Benoit is about to be chokeslammed out of the ring when he reverses into a (gulp) choke hold and drag Show out of the ring. All in all, it was a kil... I can't do it.

Erik:
Wow, I'm surprised you put '04 that low, considering your strange post-murder appreciation for Benoit. And if we're in the business of correcting quotes, doesn't Hitman shout "Yeeeeeeaaaaaaasssss." as he turns around? I guess you've probably seen it more recently, but considering this was a staple of my childhood, I think I should remember. Also, if you're bringing up Kwang, I should tell you that my sources inform me that he was replacing Ludwig Borga. Anyhow, here's the Rumble that drew #9.
......2002
Winner: HHH
Final Four: HHH, Kurt Angle, Mr. Perfect, Stone Cold Steve Austin
#1 & 2: Rikishi & Goldust
#30: Booker T
Ok, obviously #1 & 2 suck, they're stupid. And I've never been a hug Booker T fan, so #30 isn't a thrill for me. But there are a few great things about this Rumble. First is the Undertaker's domination. I checked the stats, and he's only in there for about 8 minutes. I've never seen anybody have a more productive 8 minutes without the help of Jamie Brinkus. 'Taker runs through everyone, and then gets eliminated by Maven out of nowhere, which was a genuinely good moment because it actually caught you off guard, which is tough to do at this point. Of course, this was followed by the Deadman taking him to the learning tree for the next hour. (Is it racist to say that an older white man took a rambunctious young black man to a tree?)
The second great aspect is the return of Mr. Perfect. He lasts all the way until the final 3, even going past Austin who gets dumped right before him. And even though you knew that a returning HHH was going to win, you had to be rooting for Perfect. In fact, I think Mr. Perfect actually got a Perfect-plex off on him, which elicited a huge pop from this smart mark.
This Rumble can be no higher because, as I mentioned before, it was obvious that HHH was going to win, and he did that extremely lame HHH-up, arms in the air move before he dumped Angle. Terrible, just terrible.
Alright, who goes for #8 now, you or I? I mean you jumped the gun on 9, so where do we go?
Seperate site for the Lost blog
Don't need to gum up this site with Lost talk so I created a new blog for it HERE
That way casual Lost viewers don't have to be spoiled or worry about being spoiled by viewing the posts.
The rest of you (all 6 if I'm lucky) can go to that new site linked above.

It’s just about time for the greatest sporting event of the year.
That’s right…
My favorite and every wrestling fan’s favorite event of the year (I’ll listen to arguments for Wrestlemania. But that’s it) is deserving of a top 10 list. Interestingly enough, Erik was thinking the exact same thing. I received the following email:
Erik:
Hey, I was planning on writing a top ten Rumbles post on Cotto, but I assumed you'd probably be gearing up for the same thing. So anyway, you want to collaborate on this thing?
To which I replied:
Finn:
Yes
We exchanged emails over the course of the next few days and came up with a couple of top ten lists… and if you’re lucky we might combine them into one perfect list to worship. You’re welcome Foy. Now the nightmares can stop.
Here it goes…
Erik:
Alright, well how about I give you my ten and you give me yours? I'll start with #10 and we alternate.
Finn:
Sounds GREAT!!! But this will take some research and a LOT of time. Good thing we still have 18 days until the next one. What are our judging criteria?
I say the following should be taken into consideration in no particular order (of course, you judge however you would like): - #'s 1 and 2 and #30 - Who won the Rumble - The final four - Any dominating Rumble performances that year? - Awesome spots - Laugh out loud moments - If it was just fuckin' cool or not Thoughts?
Erik:
That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Although, #30 isn't a big stickler for me. Overall rhythm is a factor, but I think that's what you're getting at with "Is it just fuckin' cool." So once I finalize my list I'll send you #10.
(I'm breaking this up all week in anticipation of Sunday's big event... you're all invited. And after reading all 45 of these Rumble countdown posts, you'll e just as JAZZED for the event as we are... More to come tonight.)
And finally... some old promos to get you EVEN MORE amped!!!

Cindy Brunson digs me!!!
Finn (Seattle, WA): Cougs needed OT to beat the Beavers last night, but a win is a win right? GO COUGS!
Cindy Brunson: (12:12 PM ET ) Amen Finn. I tuned in when the Cougs were down by double digits -painful. Doubt Wazzu will have a shot to make the tournament but at least they're competing!
I wish I could say the same for her faith in the Cougs.
Clear eyes, full hearts...
CAN'T LOSE!

This is an actual movie
Now, here at HCM, we've thrown our full support behind movies in the past, (Delgo, anyone?). But I'm not sure I can get behind (pun intended) this next one.
Apparently this is the title of an actual movie coming out: Donkey Punch. Hopefully you're all familiar with the term... well, hopefully you aren't. Anyway.... SERIOUSLY?!?!? A movie?
The premise seems to be a group of sexy young tweens meet and go partying on a yacht. Some Dirty sex occurs and a young woman is accidentally killed by, you guessed it, a donkey punch.
Here's the trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzoh5XvVVjE
There were a couple of jokes I wanted to make so I'll list them both:
1. This was based on the sad, but true, story of a young women from Montana that asphyxiated during a Glass Bottom Boat.
or...
2. Based on the true story of a man, violently castrated, during a Rusty Trombone.
I'm sure you all can do better... let's hear em.

Introducing The Biggest Douchebag Mayor in America
This is Pittsburgh's mayor and you would think he would be too busy securing funds to pay off the refs this weekend to worry about changing his stupid name. He would like to be called Steelerstahl and here is to hoping that the Ravens kick the Steelers' ass and the city blames this d-bag mayor and they kill him. (sarcasm, a little bit, just about the killing part) At least light him on fire for a little bit.
1.14.2009
Introducing the Coolest Mayor in America
This strapping young chap is Luke Ravenstahl, the mayor of Pittsburgh. Because his beloved Steelers are playing Baltimore in the AFC Title Game this weekend he decided it necessary change his name. He needed to get that dirty Raven out of his name so he now goes by Luke Steelerstahl. Lets hope for him it doesn't have some type of reverse effect since Pitt already beat Baltimore twice this year with the Raven in his name.

Smoke Monster
What? How? When? Why? Where?
Does it scan people?
Does it inhabit dead bodies, like Christian and Yemi? Cuz both bodies are missing.
Did it scan Juliette like Eko? Or something else?
Can Ben summon smokey?
The Sickness / Vaccine / Quarantine
What’s real, what isn’t?
Nigerian Drug Plane
How’d it get there? Although I think it’ll have something to do with the
Four Toed Statue
Island history? Let’s have some.
Island Time
Did Locke move it in time, location, what? Why do different degrees of arrival equal different time frames? And is it only on the surface of the water? Cuz the plane crashed pretty conveniently in the same time as the Others existed.
The Others
How did they brainwash the tail section passengers to their “cause”?
Were they trying to take Eko? Was he a good person or just a threat?
Why do the Others go from docile family folk into murderous maniacs? Why are the Other’s even there anymore? What do they want to do that’s soooo important?
Why do the important one’s always go on the missions? Ben, Ethan, we know why Goodwin now.
What was there ultimate plan with Claire? (was Juliette on board?)
Why the fake outfits?
Why did Ben try and convince Locke that he didn’t have to push the button, when it’s clear he wanted them to keep doing it?
The Others can’t REALLY believe they are the good guys right? They’re delusional?
Why didn’t they know about Desmond’s boat?
Did they not know the result of not pushing the button?
Why don’t the Others have good medical supplies, ie crash cart?
Why didn’t Ben just leave to get his surgery?
How do they travel to and from the island with ease?
Do they really use the sub to get to and from the island?
How did they get Locke’s dad onto the island? I thought outside comm. Was down?
Why do all the babies on the island die?
How do they know Sawyer killed the shrimp shack guy?
Why did they need Locke to kill his dad?
How does Richard Alpert Age?
What happened to Annie?
Is Mikhail really dead?
Room 23, Brainwashing? Is that how they got the tailies?
Where’d Karl come from?
Who led the Others before Ben?
Horace Goodspeed time loop? He had an Arrow logo? Was the Arrow a mathematics related station? If he said he'd been dead for 12 years, that's when the Purge happened. Danielle's story doesn't add up with that... hmmmm???
Jacob
Who was on his list and why?
Who is he?, etc
How did he cure Rachel’s cancer, or was it all bullshit?
What’s with the moving cabin?
What’s with the ring of dirt/ash/dust around the cabin?
How is his cabin warping around the island?
Why is Christian Shepard hanging out in it?
Why use a cabin that Horace Goodspeed built?
The Dharma Initiative:
Why are the Dharma Drops still coming?
Who’s in charge now?
Why Lockdowns?
Kelvin Inman, when was he recruited, must’ve been just before the purge.
Swan Station
Most stuff won’t get answered
What was the incident?
Hieroglyphs?
Arrow Station
What was it for?
The trunk: Army knife, Glass Eye, Film Piece
The Staff Station
Escape hatch?
The
What happened to the place where the tubes land?
Why lie about the insignificance of the Swan hatch?
Other Characters:
Libby:
mental hospital
Husband David
Razinksy,
Blastdoor map… also, why’d he edit the movie.
Charles Widmore
Did he really fake the plane crash? Or was it Ben?
How does he really know about the island?
How’d he get the DI knowledge?
What rules were changed when Widmore killed Alex?
Why can't Ben kill Widmore? Vice versa?
Why is Widmore having nightmares?
Why won't Ben be able to find Penny?
Penny Widmore
Still not sure how she knew to look for the magnetic anomalies… but this one might belong in the other category of questions that won’t get answered.
Matthew Abadon
Who the hell is he?
Claire
- Is she dead?
Faraday
Why is Faraday so broken up about the 815 flight being found?
Bad Memory?
How can Desmond be his constant, I thought you couldn’t alter the future, or whatever?
How does Faraday know so much about the DI?
Was she born on the island?
How’d she leave?
Miles
How can he talk to dead people?
Why did he want 3.2 million dollars?
Jin
Is Jin dead?
Desmond:
Is what he and Minkowski experienced the Sickness?
Do you need to travel on specific coordinates?
Did Desmond lie about his last Charlie vision?
How did the Hatch explosion let Desmond sort of float through time? How can he see the future?
Time lady, how does she fit in?

Told Michael he had to leave
Shows up soaking wet in places
Kept showing up to
Sort of led
Questions from the finale:
How does the donkey wheel export you?
WHy Boone, Charlie, and Libby?
What was Sawyer's favor?
WHy would Miles want to stay?
Sun: Who does she blame for Jin's death besides her father? Jack? Also how would any of that make sense to her father, since the cover story just had them craching adn that's it? How did Sun afford to purchase her father's company? What are her plans with Charles Widmore?
WHy is Hurley seeing dead people? Jack too? Island messenger?
Who is Claire saying not to bring back in Kate's dream? Aaron?
How'd Locke make it off the island?
What terrible things happened that forced Locke to leave?
Who does Ben mean, when he says EVERYONE needs to comeback? Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun, Aaron, Locke, Ben? Lapidus? Desmond? Walt? Ji Yeon?
OK! Anybody got any answers? Have I missed anything?
Also... no future spoilers on here. I'm not reading them. Don't ruin the show for me or I will, how do I put this, kill you.
Enjoy the premier on Wednesday, and I'll try and have my recap on either that night or tomorrow morning.

MLB Network
I'm not sure if any of you have tuned in to the new MLB Network. We have it down in LA right now with Time Warner Cable, and I'm not sure if it's just a free preview or not, but either way it's been pretty impressive. The most impressive program being one called "The Seasons" which chronicles one season from the past in each episode. For the last couple of days, they've been airing the 1995 episode, so naturally I tuned in.
I was pleasently surprised by their treatment of this particular season. They spent a couple of minutes higlighting the wild-card races including the M's playoff game. Then they moved on to the DS round. The ONLY series they bothered to mention was the M's-Yankees series. They spent a good 5 minutes (of the hour-long show that looked at the whole season) going over the series with interviews from Niehaus, Rizzs, Blowers, Buhner, and Art Thiel. They really gave the series the epic feel that it truly deserved. Not only that, but after that they just skipped to the World Series, barely even mentioning that we'd lost to the Indians. And they gave the World Series equal, or maybe even less, time then the M's divsional series. As if it couldn't get more enjoyable, at the end the narrator said something like, "Baseball began it's comeback with Cal Ripken Jr.'s record streak, and by the time Ken Griffey Jr. slid into home, it was clear that baseball was back for good." Which basically credits the M's with not only saving baseball in Seattle, but all around the country.
So I have come to assume that someone from Seattle produced this show. Be that as it may, it is insanely enjoyable for people of our ilk. Check it out immediately, especially considering it may be gone soon.

Matt Vasgersian ... Respectable?
During the broadcast of the Fiesta Bowl, Colt McCoy started to audible and announcer Matt Vasgersian commented:
"McCoy, doing his best Matt Hasselbeck, getting in and out of the play."
Now, I'm not really sure that "getting in and out of the play" was exactly what he meant to say, but still I was pretty surprised. I've always kind of disliked Vasgersian, but I've got to say he earned some points here.

Look, your party hosts here at henrycottosmustache.com are very fragile and vain. We want more mustacheers. So if you've stopped by the site... sign up. If you're already a mustacheer, recruit. I have to believe that we've reached at least 15 people. Maybe more.

Interesting Tidbits from Vegas
I was in Las Vegas for the last few days and I have a couple of pertinent things to report.
1. The McRib is there.
2. I was sitting in the sports book at the Monte Carlo overhearing the conversation behind me between a WSU grad from Seattle and some idiot from LA. The guy from Seattle was pretty knowledgeable and seemed to be a solid fan (Of course). I can't say the same for that fat Angelino he was talking to however. When they began discussing the Seahawks, the guy said: "Who do you guys have at running back? Bam Morris?" Yep, this soon to be 37 year-old ex-con is toting the ball for us every Sunday.
3. They let you drink and gamble anywhere you want!
4. I ended up in a limo with a group of seven Australians. (Why I was in the limo or where it was going is not important) I told them where I was from and one of the guys, or mates as they are called in their native tongue, said:
-"Oh, you lost your basketball team huh?"
Me- "Yeah, that's a touchy subject actually, let's just move on from that one."
3rd Guy- "Should we talk about the Seahawks then?"
Me- (Trying to come up with an Australian Rules Football-related comeback)
I was pretty floored that even guys who live in Australia are giving me shit about Seattle sports. I guess it just proves that it is known the world over that we are unlucky bastards.
5. I won $140 playing blackjack. I spent $10 on a baseball bat, $10 on a shovel, and $100 on a cab ride into the desert. Then I did this to the Australians. I used the remaining $20 to buy 5 McRibs, that I easily devoured. Suck it Fortune!

5. I won $140 playing blackjack. I spent $10 on a baseball bat, $10 on a shovel, and $100 on a cab ride into the desert. Then I did this to the Australians. I used the remaining $20 to buy 5 McRibs, that I easily devoured. Suck it Fortune!
