treble

This is bad, since it's probably an easier match-up for Montreal. It would have been fun to see Ovechkin vs. Crosby, but I think I would have gotten sick of it after a game or 2.

The Jays are going to do this 'win a few, lose a few' bullshit all season long, I just know it. It's hard to get too tied up into what felt like a glorified Spring Training game, though. At least they're in the Walt Disney World Series, though!

Look, I'm all for people biking if it's possible, but no one between the ages of 6 and 60 and who can count to 10 should ride a tricycle non-ironically.

I can't think of too many self-respecting adults who'd be willing to putter around in a glorified Big Wheel.

Sweet Potatoes

You can say that, but he's been really good at nipping conflict like this in the bud, like when he got rid of Hillenbrand so quickly. I think this might come back to bite them in the ass, though. Mostly, I think he just cares about doing what he can to get into contention now in order to keep his job. He's also been really good at picking up good middle relievers out of nowhere.

The reasoning for making this move so early (according to Ricciardi) is because they can't afford to wait around for him to heat up (which I'm pretty sure he will). I can kind of understand that, and if he was going to complain about not playing while they waited for him to come around, it's probably best to get rid of him. I'm just looking forward to all of the Bonds-to-Toronto rumours that are going to start up now.

Maybe, but if players were still willing to sign after the Shea Hillenbrand and Ted Lilly situations, I don't know if this is going to do anymore damage. And JP Ricciardi is really good at spinning, too.

Think Nicole Kidman had any idea what was going on?

Ha, the Raptors are pretty bad.

Shit, well that seems a little drastic.

This is not all Price's fault. The defence has been no-showing throughout the series, and he's been working 200% out there. Doesn't matter, they'd pull a 180 so fast, and I'd love every minute of it.

The only thing sweeter than the Habs choking this away will be if the Caps can come back and beat the Flyers. Then all of the writers who were all over Gainey's knob after the Huet trade are going to backtrack completely.

I thought you were OMGing them not having a DH. Really, it's just as bad either way.

That's the least OMG-worthy statement I've ever seen.

Mario Strikers Charged is a pretty fun game.

Maybe, she just seemed to have a pissed off look when they first started the Smith verse. I think if you're going to have a duet like that, they should probably sing the song the same way, too. Anyway, this is a dumb conversation, and it's hard to argue with the results when the Flyers score half a second into the game.

I get what they're trying to do in Philly, but I don't like them having the blonde girl singing God Bless America with Kate Smith. And you can tell she doesn't like it, either. Then you have her trying to upstage a dead lady by over-singing it at the end.

What's that number in brackets next to our names in the standings? Whatever it is, I'm glad that mine is the only negative one. I'm still not sure how most of my hitters are so shitty.

I'm not 100% sold on Crosby staying healthy, and Marcum is maybe my best (healthy) pitcher right now. I'll trade any of my pitchers, though, if I like the offer.

Mario Kart 64 sucks when you compare it to Crash Team Racing.

Haha. Oops.

Mark Lee's been around for a while, but he's mostly done CFL games.

Well, I can always hope for a car accident, I guess.

I think the Raptors could maybe win 2 games against Orlando! At least the Magic don't have any red alternate uniforms they could wear to mess with Toronto's marketing plans.
