treble

I don't know how many ABs Myers is going to get this year. The Jays want to develop Kevin Cash as the catcher of the future so I think he'll get more playing time behind the plate and they probably don't want to take Phelps out of the line-up too often (if he plays well) to put Myers at DH.

Even though I wanted Gonchar to end up on the Leafs, I guess I can take solace in the fact he didn't end up in Colorado, even though I am a little worried he's in Toronto's division now. Boston's obviously a better team now than they were last year, or even the year before when they were the #1 seed (IMO, anyway). Ottawa's better with Bondra, Montreal's better with Kovalev (which, I think was the first trade that Gainey's made since he went to Montreal), and Tampa Bay's been playing great. Jersey's probably going to have problems if Stevens isn't back soon and if Rafalski's out for any amount of time with his leg injury (I'm not even sure, he could be back by now) as will the Isles if Peca and Yashin aren't 100%, not that Yashin's money in the playoffs, or anything, but that's a whole other story. Philly could have troubles, too, with their injuries. I'd stay the Leafs have to stay healthy to get deep in the playoffs, but I think the pretty much only applies to Belfour, based on how they played when he was out vs. how they played during their streak a few months back when they seemed to be having someone get hurt every game yet kept winning. Hell, look at the '02 playoffs. Their defense is a little thin, but better than their usually given credit for. They can probably pick up someone from a team trying to shed payroll on the cheap in the next few days, so that should help. On that note, I really hope that Marchment isn't sitting much come playoff time, since he's the kind of guy that can make you keep your head up when you're crossing the blue line (not that I really condone the style of hockey he plays, but he does put that little bit of fear in your head that he's going to come and rip your leg off). It's going to be really interesting to see which teams sell of their players at the deadline. I know Washington's gotten rid of the 4 guys they wanted to the most, but I figure Kolzig's still out there and I've heard rumours of Witt going somewhere, too (although I've mostly heard this on Toronto radio, so take it with a grain of salt). I also wonder how many Rangers are going to be leaving NYC.

This is lacking in emoticon 'wars'.

Just joined the NL Only league as the Brockvegas Posse, again.

Leetch will probably go, probably to a team that loses out on Gonchar. So Toronto, Colorado, Boston, the possibilities are limited. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see Messier go somewhere.

By the time I picked Mays, I was just going through trying to pick up starters on good teams and hope I'd get a few wins from that.

Yeah, I was told that after I drafted him. I dropped him and picked up someone else, so I'm just waiting for it to go through waivers.

I'm pretty happy with my team. My pitching could be better, but I like my offence for the most part.

Habs get Kovalev from Rangers. And the next firesale begins.

And Troy Percival.

Pudge and Kevin Brown have been added to the Poison. And Mike Sweeney.

You've got Schilling and Chavez so far.

Can't they just stick to ads with hot, naked chicks?

I don't nescessarily think that 'clutch hitting' means an otherwise bad hitter somehow becomes a good one when the game's on the line, but someone who can stand pressure. I mean, there are just some people who fold like a chair whenever something depends on them, yet can hit like there's no tomorrow when nothing's on the line.

When do the teams show up on the lineup pages?

I remember a long time ago on Unsolved Mysteries they floated this theory that the Zodiac Killer and Unibomber were the same people. This was before the 'Bomber was caught and I doubt anything came of it, but, yeah.

Oh, and now they have the ready-made 'Average Joe: Brian Returns' show ready for whenever they want to trot it out.

She picked the 'hunk', who then dumped her when he found out she used to date Fabio. It was so awesome.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA. That ending was awesome.

Me, too.

Looks like I may be right, unfortunately.

You could also give us the decency of spelling 'Canadians' right, too.

I've had this avatar for over 2 years now.

The only radio station I can pick up here that's worth anything.

NHL: -Leafs -To a lesser degree, the Western Canadian teams (Oilers more than the Flames/Canucks) MLB: -Blue Jays -Expos NBA: -Raptors, I guess, although mostly because I want a reason to care about the playoffs. NFL: -No one in particular. CFL: -Maybe Toronto, but I like Montreal, too. I'm usually just happy if it's a good game. I don't give 2 shits about college sports.
