I'm not going to jump on the Yankees Are Dead bandwagon until Cashman is no longer GM. As long as he sticks around, the Yankees will still be competitive. It's once he leaves and they stick some schmuck in the front office that the team will crumble.

So Torre turned the Yankees down. Good for him, although it means we'll be getting thrice-daily reports on the Yankees' managerial search now.

Another one I had last year and not this year. Don't listen to me, I'm just some schmo with 0 points. I can't believe we went over a month without having to update this thing.

Why does anyone still listen to anything the CHB has to say?

I'm still trying to figure out why NPH hasn't won an Emmy for Barney yet.

I'm expecting a Dallas blowout. This is a horrible matchup for Minnesota -- they're worst in the league in pass defence, Dallas has a good run defence, and Minnesota doesn't have the weapons to deal with Dallas's biggest weakness, which is their secondary.

But the other guy has to jump in the air to make it work. It's not like you can just pick someone up with one arm around the front of his neck.

Depends on what you're burning, doesn't it? You can always use a CD-R in any burner, though.

His nickname's AD. Or have all the commentators wiped that from existence?

How the hell could you use a Rock Bottom in a real fight? The move is impossible to do without cooperation.

Yeah, and the worst part is he made it seem like this year was some kind of aberration in terms of homers starting more multi-run innings than walks. He seems legitimately amazed by this fact. If it weren't so comical, it's be sad.

Bob Hartley is out in Atlanta, according to TSN. The Thrashers have started 0-6.

Fun fact I learned tonight on Sportscentre: The Leafs pay more money to defencemen than any team in the league. Over $21 mil this season. Oh, and the Leafs are also giving up over 4 goals a game. That JFJ sure knows how to spot talent.

Sopke too soon. Red Sox are in deep trouble now, with another starter failing to get out of the fifth. I think they win Thursday behind another Beckett CG, but they're not winning this series now.

10 million would be a bit high. 40 million, for a startup network with no major corporation backing it, is lunacy. There are networks that have been around for years that aren't in 40 million households (GSN comes to mind).

Why, look, it's another game I probably wont see the end of. I think Francona made a big mistake not bringing Beckett back on short rest. I think starting him three times gives the Sox the best chance at the pennant. As it is, he'll only pitch once more in the series, and the Sox would have to rely on Matsuzaka for Game 7. Not an enticing prospect.

Wow, I never noticed this...there are only six teams that have a higher PA than me, and they've all played one more game than I have. No wonder I'm 1-4.

Normally I mark a W on the schedule here in pen, but Buffalo had to go and win two straight.

WOULD SOMEONE ON MY LIST PLEASE DIE ALREADY.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a team be five games up in the win column on everyone else in their division after week 6. New England is going to have more wins than everyone else in their division combined by season's end. Book it.

Two weeks in a row I haven't lost. Looking at how my division is going, 1-4 suddenly doesn't look so hopeless.

1. Yes, but it'll never happen. 2. I'm thinking 8 years, $220 million. And then Ted Rogers would have me beheaded.

43 and steady rain...let's play two!

I still think Dallas is easily the class of the NFC. I would take them against any other team in the conference. I can't see anyone else representing the NFC in the Super Bowl.

No miracle for Dallas this week.
