Is someone with more patience than me going to keep a running tab on who's still available?

My cousin won $25,000 at a golf tournament last summer the day before my birthday and I saw none of it.

I wonder if Ethan has (well, had, I guess) anything to do with Hurley's Canadian shoe factory that burned down.

I'm not sure if I want to be the Boston Doves or the Brooklyn Bridegrooms.

One thing I didn't like about it (and this is nitpicking) is that if JBL and Cena are feuding and, in theory storyline-wise, don't like each other, why are they getting together to film a movie spoof? Stuff like that always bugs me.

The Nationals' home jerseys look like All-Star uniforms.

Bobby Abre-who? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeah, maybe I'm overselling Myers a bit, but he played pretty well in '03 and I think a lot of people (myself included) thought he was going to duplicate that. And I guess it wasn't as close as I thought it would be. Probably just personal bias.

What I was kinda trying to get at was I'm interested in seeing people's projections for this year's Marlins line-up (minus Delgado) vs. what the projections were for the Jays starting line-up last year (minus Delgado). Just at a quick glance, I'd give the Marlins an edge with Pierre vs. Reed Johnson of last year and Alex Gonzalez vs. Chris Woodward. Luis Castillo vs. Orlando Hudson is pretty close, as is Wells vs. Cabrera and Greg Myers vs. Paul Lo Duca. Lowell is obviously better than Hinske/Phelps, but Catalanotto is better than Encarnacion. I hope this makes sense to someone other than me.

I think Al just hates using the term 'cap'.

I think people have been overrating Delgado somewhat this off-season. I guess this may seem a bit like sour grapes, since he's left the Jays, but I really doubt that if he stayed in Toronto that many people would pick that team's line-up too high, but now that he's in Florida the Marlins are suddenly the 2nd best team in the league? Don't get me wrong, he can be a great hitter, but this has been bugging me. I'd really like to see someone compare last year's Jays' opening day starting line-up vs. this year's Marlins starting line-up and see how they stack up, because I don't think that there's really a huge difference (could be wrong, though) and I don't think anyone was saying that Toronto was as good as Florida is.

While I agree that it doesn't really belong on this list, it wasn't exactly Pelletier and Sele's fault that the world press pretty much forced the IOC into handing out a 2nd pair of gold medals. I know from watching both the NBC and CBC coverage that NBC seemed almost more upset than CBC did, initially.

Draft may be a bit of a problem for me. I've got to work Sunday morning and I'll probably be hitting the sack a few hours before the thing would be over.

When Jin went into that guy's house the first time (when he gave him the dog) his daughter was watching TV and Hurley was getting into a car.

Man, I loved this episode. Tons of great, small moments. Hurley on the TV was pretty cool, too.

Other Canadians play golf?

Leo is less embarrassing than Virgo.

Weekly rosters?

I just pictured bullies knocking Mole's hat off his head. High-larious. I swear that I saw Mole's twin at a hockey game here on Friday night, but he was wearing a Yankees' hat. Like, Bizzaro world or something.

Yeah, both of you, shut up.

The only thing I liked about the season finally being cancelled is that they couldn't get my hopes up again. So much for that.

Probably would have been for the US Open at that point in the year. The dog show's in the winter (I think it's going on right now, actually). I think he was in a wheelchair (I think because of the motorcycle accident) when he signed that contract for the Austin/Undertaker first blood match at Fully Loaded '99. I remember him stabbing Austin in the head with a pen and signing the contract in Austin's blood.

Replacement player.
