What good is that going to do? When healthy, Ottawa is the best 5-on-5 team in the league.

Well, he is unlucky to suck as much as he does. That said, he can't be that unlucky, because he still has a major-league job.

Wow, talk about sticking your head in the sand. How does a guy last for over a decade as a team's pitching coach if he's not that good? To answer the question, for baseball, not until interleague play begins.

Yeah, good luck with that.

How about this leaderboard after 3 rounds: Mickelson -4 (70) Couples -3 (72) Campbell -3 (75) Ames -2 (70) Woods -2 (71) Clark -2 (72) Clarke -2 (72) Singh -2 (73) Mediate -2 (73) Jimenez -1 (69) Goosen -1 (72) Furyk E (68) Cink E (71) Mayfair E (73) Els E (74) This is going to be some finish.

Nice even-par stretch for Darren Clarke from 13 through 16...eagle, par, triple bogey, birdie.

Holy crap, the third round is being televised on USA right now.

First three-game losing streak of the season for the Sens, on their way to a big loss at home to Buffalo. They need their missing defensemen back in the worst way. Havlat is likely coming back on Tuesday, which should help. On a positive note, Carolina also lost big to Atlanta, so we're still tied with a game in hand.

Dammit. Rain on Saturday, which means we won't get to see most of the third round, since they won't televise it tomorrow morning. This sucks. Two years in a row.

CBC is hoping for Calgary-Edmonton and Ottawa-Montreal in the first round. That way, they get two series of guaranteed high ratings, and two Canadian teams for sure in the second round.

Two nights in a row now the Oilers had a clear game-winning goal called back. At least tonight they scored later anyway and got the two points.

Who the hell likes Stephen A. Smith? Stephen A. Smith. And maybe Isiah Thomas.

Yeah, I remember reading about Vance's career in "Strange But True Baseball Stories" by Furman Bisher. His chapter was called, "Back Road to the Hall of Fame." It's quite an interesting book...lots of good stories, including the usual suspects like Eddie Gaedel, Dusty Rhodes and the Miracle of Coogan's Bluff, but also some little-known stories, like a minor-league catcher who pitched a 20-inning game, and the only player ever to hit three homers in an inning. But I digress.

I'm a little less optimistic about the season after seeing the Jays blow a 6-0 lead over friggin' Tampa Bay. The back end of the rotation and middle relief may not be up to the task yet.

Hart Foundation wins their first tag titles on Superstars of Wrestling: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Aa9lpc4RhP4 This was the first title change I'd ever seen.

Chad Campbell will likely be the leader at the end of the day at -6. Vijay's having a pretty piss-poor round so far. Weir's making a charge, 3 back as he makes the turn. EDIT: And of course, as soon as I post that he bogeys three of the next four holes. I'll shut up now.

Finally, some good news: HASEK'S (almost) BACK!!! http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=161619&hubname=

After seeing for the first time, the Flair/von Erich match at Texas Stadium qualifies. Crowd was NUCLEAR cheering for Kerry the entire match. They were going nuts for a fight over a wristlock.

Hockey is easily the best sport live, IMO. It's the only sport I prefer to watch live than on TV.

Hogan pinned Piper at SuperBrawl VII when Randy Savage (who everyone thought was aligned with Sting) turned on Piper and joined the nWo.

Not so surprising since Ottawa is missing its top four defensemen. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

It was news because he takes Adderall for it, which is on the banned substances list. Lowe, of course, has a doctor's prescription, which exempts him from the rule.

I would've taken him at 17 if Maroney wasn't available.
