90210 Day (September 02, 2010, Get It?)

90210 day will happen once every 100 years, and to honor this glorious event, we celebrate with, of course, lists! Our favorite characters in the show’s history followed by five of our favorite moments (well, moments that we could find on the web).
1. Brandon. B Walsh. Organized “Donna Martin graduates.” Gambled. Played hoops.
2. Valerie. Hottest female in the show’s storied history. Vanessa Marcil is a strong contender, but the show was awful (but still watchable, of course) by the time she arrived.
3. David Silver. He dances! He raps along to Das Efx! In real life, he’s done well – dated three girls from the show (Tori Spelling, Tiffani Theissen, Vanessa Marcil) and is married to Megan Fox. He’s come a long way from the Hammer Pants. The hip-hop dancing starts at :25.
4. Steve Sanders. The license plate of his Corvette: I8A4RE. Cool. In real life? Married a Playmate. Got a divorce. Married a nurse … who could probably pass for a Playmate.
5. Kari Wuhrer. Counts as a fringe character and has no business being on this list, but we included her just so that we could link up the time she banged David Silver in a limo and Donna caught them. It’s a travesty that video can’t be embedded.
Before we get underway with video moments … an ode to John Sears, one of the great pricks in 90210 history.
At least watch until the :45 second mark, when Joe E. Tata chimes in with, “I don’t like that kid.” (Yes, we had to work in a Nat reference at some point in this post.)
Never liked Emily Valentine. But for reasons we can’t quite explain, this is probably our favorite moment in the show’s history. This episode alone – Valentine’s first – was an instant classic.
Easily the saddest moment in the show’s history. Dylan left the show at the end of this episode (and returned a few seasons later).
Dylan McKay in the first episode: “Mad, bad, and dangerous to know.” Sure, he looked like a 25-year-old playing a high school role, but so what?
The comedic value here is off the charts. Megan Fox was probably six when this episode aired.
RIP, Scott.

Oh that Dylan… He’s just so SMUG.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:03 AM
Tori Spelling, Tiffani Theissen, Vanessa Marcil
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn’t belong.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:05 AM
Ya know, I’m happy to say I’ve never seen an episode of this show
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 AM
wow.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 AM
My fav 90210 clip.
/avacado heads ftw
//I bet spencer loves this clip
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Kari Wuhrer looked awesome in Thinner.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:07 AM
!!!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Ya know, I’m happy to say I’ve never seen an episode of this show
i’m sad to say I thought the show sucked balls, but I still sported the sideburns.
Kari Wuhrer – insanely trashy hot
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:08 AM
An over-the-top classic, to be sure. And all of Kari Wuhrer’s finest work came off 90210. She’s a fun google images search.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Is Vanessa Marcil wearing a necklace as a top in that picture?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:09 AM
Just… So gay.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:09 AM
No one, NO ONE, is hotter than Kelly Kapowski. The second part is correct, shes hot but show was a hot mess at that point.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Either I’m missing the joke here, but it’s Michael from Melrose that Jerry is referring to.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Always get her confused with Shannon Whirry
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 AM
I guess its way too early in the morning for me, but I cannot figure out what this plate means
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 AM
His vette ate a ferrari.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
Okay, is this a one post thing, or an all day thing?
/FOOOOOOOOOOOTBAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
Ahhhh so many thoughts on 90210.
-Brandon Walsh was about the size of a bantamweight yet he was a great athlete who also somehow seemed to win any fight that he was in. Also, Dylan intimidated a lot of people also and he weighed maybe 130 lbs.
-Steve Sanders has to be the most ridiculous character in network television history. His Randy West mullet maybe one of the best hairdo’s of the early 90′s. His joust with John Sears goes down as my favorite moment in 90210 history.
-Somehow Brian Austin Greene has used his success on 90210 to put his dating resume at the same level as Jeter and Dicaprio. Thiessen, Marcil and Fox. WTF.
-Sanders Mullet.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
someone please threadjack this shit.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
am I the only one who never gave two shits about this show?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
wow, wasnt even close in my head….thanks BSanders
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:13 AM
Always get her confused with Shannon Whirry
then you’re just a boy. Kari Wuhrer was first catapulted into the spank bank hall of fame on Remote Control, and then looked for ever since.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:13 AM
Can we do our favorite Days of Our Lives moments next?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:13 AM
Vanessa Marcil is the dream.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:14 AM
A moment that stands out for me is when Donna is about to get raped and David knocks on the door and he figures out something is wrong because she called him “Dave.” Also when Kelly got raped and ends up shooting the guy in her store, that was awesome.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:14 AM
Vanessa Marcil is the dream.
Las Vegas was a great, great show.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:14 AM
It is, but I love that line and Melrose was a spin-off.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:14 AM
I tell ya, Kelly went through some shit.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:14 AM
Never saw an entire episode (would catch bits and pieces when my sister would watch reruns, was weird seeing Barry Bonds playing golf with Steve Sanders once) but was happy to see Kapowski resurface after SBTB: The College Years
I believe this also counts as the LA Rams/LA Raiders post
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Never understood either how Donna got all those guys and she was butt ugly. Plus, you would think with ALL the money her pops had in real life that her boob job would have been much better.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 AM
And who could forget Jamie Walters guest starring as an abusive boyfriend, obviously did wonders for his career
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 AM
I believe this also counts as the LA Rams/LA Raiders post
you’re no longer a friend to TBL
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 AM
I’m guilty as well. I rocked the sideburns back in 1993.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 AM
Probably when Carly got buried alive by Vivian or when Marlena was possessed.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 AM
There’s not many boob jobs that got botched worse than her’s.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 AM
remember that Scott episode. John Sears was a douche
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 AM
When Marlena was possessed by Satan…end of thread
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 AM
Hot chicks on 90210:
1. Gina
2. Noxzema Girl
3. Valerie
4. Tricia Kinney – Ice Skater played by Gabrielle Anwar who is now Fiona on Burn Notice. She was one of Brandon’s gf of the week. Loved her. And she is a fine cougar now.
5. Kelly Taylor
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:17 AM
Vanessa Marcil can get (on) it.
I never watched a second of this show, other than commercials that popped up during some Fox telecast I was watching.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:17 AM
Jack and Jennifer getting married!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:17 AM
When they buried Carly alive.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:17 AM
I’m not positive,(I caught a few eps back in the day with my mom) but didn’t a dude come back from the dead? Or was buried alive?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:17 AM
Horrible. Just horrible. What a wretched, horrible, and terrible show.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:18 AM
Ruined his career. I’m still shocked The Heights never caught on with people.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:18 AM
Never seen the show, but Marcil is one of my heroes.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:18 AM
TBL, no mention of Gabrielle Carteris? haha
the Screech of the 90210 cast
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:18 AM
Got some 1990s television snobs up in here
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
Ha, I rememeber watching Remote Control back in the day with my older siblings but I was still pretty young so girls were still kinda icky to me at that point.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
Stehano DiMera was one tough son of a bitch…he did this about once a season
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
Got some faygoes up in here
/mrejr
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
I think Gabrielle Carteris is as old as Joe E Tata
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
LMAO!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
I get more of these references than the references in the post.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
So true, Wiz. Did you catch her trying to dance in one of the clips? High comedy.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 AM
A short list:
date-raped, brainwashed and joined a cult, had major Daddy rejection issues, developed a sweet coke habit, went to rehab for said habit and met her future Single White Female-esque stalker who eventually tried to forcefully get her to committ suicide, got shot in a drive-by, developed amnesia from said gunshot, decided on her wedding day she didn’t want to get married, got raped in an alley, later shot her rapist.
That’s just a short history of the magical Kelly Taylor. Oh, and on 90210 this season, her mom died of cancer.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 AM
One of the great unanswered questions of our time: How DO you talk to an angel?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Noxzema Girl – Killer Cell phone
Ice Skater played by Gabrielle Anwar who is now Fiona on Burn Notice. She was one of Brandon’s gf of the week. Loved her. And she is a fine cougar now. – fish lips, but ok.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Melrose place was better
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:21 AM
2. Noxzema Girl
she got really ugly later in life.
Never seen the show, but Marcil is one of my heroes.
Just Tivo one episode in reruns (as long as the cast list says Jimmy Caan) and you’ll be hooked. It only has two recurring themes. One of them is T and the other one is A.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:22 AM
I read that as “had major Daddy erection issues”
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:22 AM
You wait for him to leave All My Children to take a failed stab at leading man status and go on a date with him. Then he comes crawling back to Pine Valley claiming he was just wandering the globe stricken with amnesia.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:22 AM
Man, all that and you forgot about that time she almost died in a fire!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:22 AM
So, TBL was tweeting last night that he was mad at the Sanchez attention. W. T. F. The fellating started here, and I guess he hopes it ends here?
/end TJ
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
Never watched a full episode of 90210 (more of Melrose Place fan), but BAG was awesome in that Terminator tv series that Fox decided to dump a few years ago. More people should have watched that.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
On one of those I Love the 90s shows on VH1, one of the guys they had on there was talking about 90210, and he said that she was underrated as far as hotness goes, and something like “behind the glasses, sex goddess”. The person that said that was Lance Bass.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
Jawbreaker.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
It’s liek trying to catch a falling star…
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:24 AM
I’ve never seen this show but I’ve watched many an episode of Degrassi for the unintentional comedy. Sounds like they ripped off 90210 a fair amount.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:24 AM
Haha yes! I remember going to MGM Studios around 1995 or so and she was the featured celebrity at the park that day…Probably one of the last highlights of her career
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:24 AM
That show’s usually just used as a showcase for future chart-topping rappers.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 AM
How about when David when through his drug phase in college and lost Erin Silver (now insanely hot as a fictional character) at the playground?? Or “Betty” from Season 1 when Brandon saves her life twice.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 AM
That was Mackenzie Phillips.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 AM
Oh crap…I forgot about that. She was trapped with a lesbian who later decided she was in love with Kelly!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 AM
Surprised how many people here didn’t actually watch this show. It was terrible, but it was right up there in the teen angst category. It went further than most shows in the 90s.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Las Vegas comes on everyday at noon on TNT. Right after Supernatural.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Yes but she was fine as hell when she was on 90210.
One of my favorite moments was when Sanders passed Andrea Zuckermans dorm room onto his friend Munz so Munz could bang some chick in their. When Zuckerman caught him it was like Sanders had killed someone. I loved the overreactions to every little thing that Sanders ever did. That guy could not get away with shit.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Crank is not an everyday drug. It WILL fry your brain.
/since when does a connect give a shit about a user?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:26 AM
I’m assuming you’re talking about Degrassi: New Generation, because the original Degrassi was ten times better than 90210. Ask Kevin Smith.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 AM
Drizzy Drake!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 AM
I think if it had been on when I was in college and we were looking for terrible TV to mock in the dorm this would have been our show…alas, we had Dawson’s Creek
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 AM
Did you guys know Luke Perry is gay?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 AM
I liked the tune he often played on 90210, “Hold On”

but BAG was awesome in that Terminator tv series that Fox decided to dump a few years ago.
I enjoyed both Sarah Connor and the female terminator in this.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 AM
Jack McKay was the shit and all of you know it.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 AM
bsanders and roastbeast, i watched “brotherhood of the wolf” last night. i would have liked it more had it been an hour shorter. jesus… i almost reflexively turned it off with about 20 minutes to go just because i felt it should have been over.

September 2nd, 2010 at 10:29 AM
Yet by the end of the show, he was the character who most had his shit together.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:29 AM
It’s just dawning on him how bad JaMarkus Sanchez really is, and he’s been hedging a bad Jets season ever since.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:30 AM
Las Vegas comes on everyday at noon on TNT. Right after Supernatural.
Are you employed, sir?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:30 AM
He’s also Roman Brady on Days of our Lives.
/earlier in thread
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:30 AM
You’re not that much older than me Butters, at least I don’t think you are. But this show started in 1990 I think. It wasn’t until a few years in that Valerie Malone was a character and I started watching. It was easy to go from SBTB to 90210 when that happened.
I was 10 probably when I started watching this. Had no clue what was going on most of the time. My sister loved it and that’s why I watched it.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:30 AM
anyone read “kill bin laden?”
halfway through…fantastic book.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:30 AM

I was just looking at quotes on IMDB… I remember this one:
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:32 AM
this female terminator > that female terminator
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:33 AM
I’m a sucker for anything non-Gossip Girl that The WB/CW puts out that’s teeny and angsty. Dawson’s Creek, Roswell, The Mountain, Smallville (gave up on that one, though), Jack & Bobby, Everwood, One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries…
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:33 AM
Booooooo. Bo Duke is back.

You can see her boobies in that Uwe Boll movie she did with Sir Ben Kingsley.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:34 AM
Don’t you mean Valerie?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:34 AM
Wha? How?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:34 AM
SC, that quote is awesome.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:34 AM
This is true. Shot, raped, burned, cheated on, drugged up, forced to be in the new 90210 because her career is crap. Wait, that last one is real life.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:35 AM
David’s drug phase in college > everything else.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:35 AM
i like uwe boll and boobies. this makes me interested in this movie.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:35 AM

I am just luriking and reading and nodding. Trying to get some work done this morning. But believe me, I LOVED this show. My teacher changed my name in 5th grade to one of the characters because we were both so obsessed.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:36 AM
Kristanna Loken, FTW!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:36 AM
Yeah, was Valerie the show with Jason Bateman in it?
loved that show growing up….as well as the show 8 is Enough, which unfortunately probably was the precursor to the real life train wreck Jon and Kate Plus 8
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:36 AM
Who was that trashy girl Brandon went slumming with that one time? She was pretty ugly…
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:36 AM
@rex and coop- you guys sign up for Pick em?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:37 AM
The best season of 90210, in my opinion was Season 6, their JR year in college. The Kelly coke year. Colin was a hilarious douchebag (although my gf at the time thought he was just a misunderstood artiste). Plus, the best girl for Brandon throughout the entire series, Susan (played by the criminally underrated Emma Caulfield…although she is looking a lil beat up these days).
Then there was the prince who wanted to steal Claire away from Steve. Nat got married to his old flame. Good times!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:38 AM
Sanders gutted it out and stayed around the whole series unlike those bitches Brandon and Dylan who left show to fail at movies. Nice thing with Sanders character was that he had no where to go but up because of what a buffoon he was when the show started.

This is one of the truer things ever posted on this site. It is kind of sad to see the devolution of TBL’s thoughts on the Jets since last season ended.

Great call. She was the chick he met on the newspaper. I liked her a lot.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:42 AM
Not sure if you watched the show, but John Schneider played Jonathon Kent. He died a few seasons back. I believe his spirit appears throughout the season.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:42 AM
No, but she was cougarific in all her glory. We would always talk about the show during play time after lunch.
What a missed opportunity.

No, the name was changed to Hogan Family when they killed her off the show via car accident.

It was awesome. I loved everything about it. Morgan, Sanchez, Volstad, even psycho ass Listach.

The go-to move for eliminating a mother and eliciting instant sympathy for the surviving family members. Worked wonders on Full House.
“Mom knew everything I did before I did it. She would’ve caught me before I moved into the garage.”

No I watched the show. And I know who Bo Duke was in all that, i was just confused how they brought him back.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Jay V droppin’ Sandy Duncan. HA. Awesome.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 AM
It wasn’t a sucker punch. It was a first baseman protecting his pitcher. Infielders to pitchers are like Secret Security to presidents. You get to your man before the bad guy gets him. Pitchers are the most valuable players on a baseball team.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Ha, wasnt she crazy and destroyed his parade float?!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Yeah what has gotten into Nyjer Morgan lately…or has he always been the next coming of Elijah Dukes?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Looking back, yes.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 AM
It’s just dawning on him how bad JaMarkus Sanchez really is
Lombardi’s column re: Sanchez’s rookie year vs. Rick Mirer had to be jarring.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Or the cinematic classic 8 Seconds.
The best performances in a movie by any of the guys was when Sanders and Silver played themselves in Domino.

Good point lefty. Future senators have to be discreet and Jersey sounds like he was ahead of the curve on that lesson.

September 2nd, 2010 at 10:45 AM
I’m pretty sure Dukes is freakin crazy, and has had a ton of off-field problems. Morgan is probably just a defiant asshole.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:45 AM

what’s yer definition of sucker punch then? mine is being punched when my attention is elsewhere on someone else, blindsided

September 2nd, 2010 at 10:48 AM
Ha…in the last ep, sort of. The worst part about Season 6 was Donna was involved with the star QB at CU with heart issues, Joe. He could possibly be the most boring character in the history of television.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:48 AM
Yeah hes gotta be joking. The nice thing to, obviously, was to let Morgan punch out his pitcher.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:49 AM
Its definitely not “getting jacked up by a teammate of the dude you just punched in the head.”
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:49 AM
when Claire became Steve’s girlfriend, she was crazy hot. But when she was obsessed with Brandon and dating David, she sucked. Oh, plastic surgery…
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:50 AM
A college QB who was more subdued than Ben Stein. If nothing else, his character was highly realistic.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:50 AM
I am still mad that Fincher did not pick Knightley to play the lead in The Gril with the Dragon Tattoo.
Domino was a good movie. Rourke was great as always and the rest of the cast held their own.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:51 AM
que? everyone knows that baseball fights are fights for about 0.57 seconds and then become brawls. anything goes.
the caveat to all of this is the pussifiedness of a baseball fight. “OH NO, YOU DI’INT JUST PUSH ME!” “YES I DID!” “OK!!”
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:51 AM
i cannot believe you guys and woman are defending that sanchez move. what danger was the 6-foot-8 guy in, the one who gutlessly threw twice at a guy? you want to start shit, handle the conseqeuences yerself. this whole rules book for baseball fights is absolute bullshit. if adam dunn goes after roy oswalt, then yes, protection is welcome. and i’m still waiting for the consensus definition of sucker punch
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:51 AM
Since I know Simmons is here, Kobe>Bird (by a ridiculous amount)
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:52 AM
Yeah, if anything the clothesline was the nicest way to take care of Morgan.
If only the guy had the chance to the clothesline up with a leg drop.

miz this was my whole thing after the last brawl–the reds/cards…no one throws a punch, waits for folks to step between them, shout a lot, and people think it’s a great fight because there was pushing and shoving and cleats being used. i applaud morgan for throwing a punch, against a guy twice his size
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:53 AM
coulda sworn his name was David.
/Cowherd
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:54 AM
If Morgan is standing on first base after a single, and Sanchez drops him. That’s a sucker punch. You couldnt be more wrong on this one dude.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:54 AM
but because of him, we got the steve young ep.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:54 AM
There are many flawed points there. I don’t think you understand that 1) there are no rules in fights and 2) there has never been and never will be a baseball fight of one v. one.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:54 AM
Agreed…I dig me some Kathleen Robertson.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:54 AM
And no one mentioned Mrs. Poole with all the Hogan Family talk. Tragic.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:55 AM
roastbeast – but it’s not a cheap shot when you throw a punch with a bunch of teammates around. if you’re in a bar fight with a guy with a bunch of friends, you’re expecting to not get close-fisted in the back of the head?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:56 AM
He’s got a brood to take care of that.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:56 AM
Can’t disagree with that at all. Why she never made it in the movies is beyond me. Probably the hottest woman on tv for a ten year period. General Hospital, 90210 and then Vegas.
She should have gotten naked in a movie or HBO sometime. I swear it would have made her a much bigger star.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:56 AM
vezina – a cheap shot is what that former Texas LB did to that chick in Austin a few weeks ago before getting stomped by Roger Huerta. That was from behind, in the back of the head and she had no idea.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:56 AM
I did like the fact that the Nats pitcher plunked Sanchez later in the game, and that Sanchez just ran to first.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:57 AM
and i’m still waiting for the consensus definition of sucker punch
I think that if the guy is going to charge the mound he should be well aware of what’s coming (plenty of video evidence of other basebrawls available), therefore no sucker punch in my books.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:57 AM
I can’t believe Bill Simmons has 1.2+ million followers.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:57 AM

September 2nd, 2010 at 10:58 AM
Was she the one who found Kelly’s engagement ring in Brandon’s undies drawer?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:59 AM
i prefer to call her “GRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAACE!”
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:59 AM
hitting someone who is not looking is a sucker punch. all this traditioon and expectations talk is moot to me–because i start from this place: baseball rules should be changed so that anyone off the bench or out of the bullpen is automatically suspended. the batter and pitcher, if they have a beef, go at it one v one until it goes to the ground, like hockey. this whole tradition of throwing at people is pansy crap. it also extends the length of too-long games with silliness. if yer not gonna actually fight, then let’s not go through the pantomime
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:59 AM
Well, I suppose I left a curveball hanging on that one.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:00 AM

I wouldn’t mind a show featuring Dylan McKay and Vincent Chase just hanging out at those seedy bars on the beach in Mexico that don’t exist in real life. Dylan would be playing the dad, of course.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:01 AM
She was awful. As great as Season 6 was, Season 7 was pretty terrible, and it can all be attributed to the Susan/Tracy contrast.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:01 AM
I honestly was not aware that dudes watched this show. Isn’t it basically a primetime soap opera?
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:02 AM
She’s back on General Hospital to lots of fanfare. She is a soap darling.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:02 AM
he should have been expecting it though. it’s not tradition, it’s fucking common sense. he went at a dood with a bunch of his brah’s around. he should expect to be in deep shit within moments.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:03 AM
go at it one v one until it goes to the ground, like hockey.
One of the issues I have with this is that you can throw a much better punch with your feet on the ground (vs. ice). Also, are the umpires going to jump in when one guy is in trouble?
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:03 AM
Tracy’s a far hotter name than Susan but those two characters did NOT illustrate that fact.
/Realizes Tracy hasn’t been a hot name since 1996.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:04 AM
I’d have given Tracy Flick a poke in the whiskers.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:04 AM
He’s got a brood to take care of that.
that’s right, got my own security detail. i think the 3-year-old girl might be the most fierce
ndub, what is the difference between that girl punch and what happened to morgan? neither one saw it coming. again, i realize that in the context of a baseball fight, players would expect everyone to pile on. i am coming from an alternate universe where baseball changes rules
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:05 AM
You think so, Jay V? I’m trying to think of another but I’m coming up empty so I guess you’re right.
What about PK or Reilly? Those are the only others I can think of that might come close.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:05 AM
Ahhhh. They brought Brenda back. Sure that is great for General Hospital and speaks volumes about how shitty Vanessa’s career is going.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:05 AM
Also, now going by married name Vanessa Marcil-Giovinazzo. Married guy from CSI: NY.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:06 AM
Seriously. THIS! The players handled it. They all know the score, they all know the “rules”, and this is how its handled. The notion that a pitcher’s teammates are supposed to stand around watching after a dude with a helmet on, runs toward their teammate and punches him the head is so retarded, I can’t believe we’re all responding to it.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:06 AM
then you’re just wrong, man. when Jersey charges a brah and ices him, you don’t think he scouts him first for a posse? Morgan charged a pitcher, got a punch in, and got pwn’d by the first baseman. he should have expected it and you should have expected it.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:06 AM

Yeah. I was a big “Brenda and Sonny” fan from back in the day. So far her return is a snoozefest. You’re right in that she didn’t have lots of other options, but she did say in interview with soap mag that the soap schedule allowed her to spend more time with her family and I think she has a sister that was recently diagnosed with a serious illness. I don’t expect her to stay long-term.

so sanchez was a hero? and i agree that protection is fine if it’s warranted. do you think volstad needed help? and if so…he threw the pitches!!!
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:15 AM
Yeah, like Simmons would ever concede that Kobe’s better than Bird. I am curious to see where Kobe ranks on the next update of his Book of Basketball, though.

@cursed- NFL pick em contest. sign up
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:19 AM
who is sanchez? first baseman? if so, he’s no hero or villain. he’s just a first baseman that joined a fight like he would likely do any day. who’s volstad? the pitcher? if so, he’s from Florida right? he prolly did need help cause he was raised a pussy. it doesn’t matter who threw the pitches and who started the fight. one guy throws a punch at another guy and both guys have their boyz nearby…they’re GOING TO jump in too!
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:19 AM

September 2nd, 2010 at 11:23 AM
one guy throws a punch at another guy and both guys have their boyz nearby…they’re GOING TO jump in too!
so that’s where i really have the problem, then. a guy throws at someone–a pussy move if ever there was one–he should expect to back up his aggression. morgan went to handle it. whatever. we’ve spent enough time on this. i made myself clear that this is the way IDEALLY I’d rather see it, and youse disagree. it’s what happens here.
now give each other 20 dollars
