You still need to work the Get Fuzzy "I feel...inept" pic into your posts somehow.

There's plenty of bad refs out there besides Fraser. The overall quality of referees has gone way down. Not NBA-level bad, but still not good.

You're single, right? No one's depending on you for money? If so, you don't need life insurance. If you can borrow against your insurance, you have a whole life policy. These policies should be avoided. If you got a whole life policy when your agent said you were getting term life, get a new agent.

So long, Sid. You'll get your day soon. Logically, I'd prefer the Rangers in the next round, but part of me wants the Devils for a bit of payback for 2003. This team can beat Marty Brodeur, especially the way he's looked against Tampa Bay.

20 minutes away from the East semis. The Sens have played pretty much flawless hockey.

Oh, sure, NOW Manny decides to break out of his slump. I thought that once Downs struck out Papi, it was smooth sailing.

I never dreamed I'd be saying this, but that would be an excellent move for Ottawa. Redden just has not justified his huge contract at all, although I suspect he may be playing through an injury. He was probably the worst player on the ice Tuesday night, making one play that led directly to Staal's goal, and two others that came close.

What a weird coincidence -- Brant Parker, who co-created The Wizard of Id with Johnny Hart, died eight days after Hart. Kitty Carlisle died Tuesday...sadly (for me), one year too late. She was one of my best bets last year.

Excellent. Save the potential Ottawa-Buffalo rematch for the conference finals.

So, two supposedly potent offences meet in Toronto for a three-game series, and through 15 total innings, they've combined for a grand total of six runs on sixteen hits. How disappointing.

Tomorrow's headline: "JAYS ROLL DICE FOR 2-1 WIN" From what little I saw, Chacin looked better than I've seen him in awhile. Of course, the real test will be to see whether he can string together two or three more starts like that.

What a great win. We NEVER used to win games like that.

Perhaps, but would it really help? It's like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I'd like to say I'm surprised by Savage/Steamboat not making it, but I guess I probably shouldn't be, since most people here would have only seen it well after the fact, and not live (and in context) as I did. I probably have a lot more of an attachment to the match than most.

I heard they were taking about moving Freel to 3rd.

Congratulations to the officials for handing the game to Buffalo with a phantom penalty in the last two minutes. I haven't seen this much debris thrown onto the ice in a long time.

Tampa Bay takes a 2-1 lead over New Jersey. I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping the Devils get upset.

What about an OPS under 550?

People drive just as stupidly during the last snowstorm of the year as during the first.

You'd think that for all that money, the Mariners could have bought themselves more than 70 wins.

The verdict is in: Ryan will be out 4-6 weeks with a strained ligament in his elbow, but will not need surgery. Thank goodness. Also, Troy Glaus was placed on the DL with his sore heel.

Reed Johnson is out until July with a herniated disc in his back. I would say letting Frank Catalanotto was a bad move in hindsight, but he's gotten off to a pretty bad start in Texas himself.

Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK) - Seasons 1 & 2 I can't believe I'm just now finding out that this was released last month.

Ryan "Black Hole" Freel and his .367 career OBP are signed to the Reds through the 2009 season.

Boo Weekley is about to win the Heritage and that awful plaid jacket. Good for him to come back and win so soon after missing that putt at the Honda Classic.
