I don't remember. They bought the rights to it from the original composer when CBC decided not to renew because of cost, though. That's the CBC for you. It's going to be bizarre hearing it on TSN for some random midweek game.

Hockey Night in Canada. NBA on NBC is close, though.

I can't believe only three people had Paul Newman. We are lame. Updated standings - September 27, 2008 (changes in red) 405 - Marvinisalunatic 110 - Toshiaki Koala 85 - Beast, Darthtiki 65 - Vern Gagne 45 - Czech, Taiga 40 - NYU 30 - v.2 20 - CanadianGuitarist, Cuban Linx, hardcoreicon, KOAB, Sideburnious, treble, Vitamin X, vivalaultra

Yes! I nearly sweep my differing picks and have a chance to get back to .500 next week. I would have cried if it had gone to tiebreak...who could have predicted over 70 points in that game?

I'm a research analyst for Statistics Canada, working on a national physical measures survey.

Prince Fielder has to be the closest I've ever seen to a real-life Pedro Cerrano. "I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid."

I thought his tights were gimmicked. May have just been one of those urban legends I heard once.

I stopped playing when I realized I'm absolutely sick of playing online. I'd play live, but there's nowhere decent nearby.

Slightly.

The Mets just tied it on an unbelievable play at the plate. Fukudome had Church dead by ten feet, but Church ran away from the tag and beat the catcher back to the plate. I don't know how more runners don't get called for running out of the baseline on plays like that. I mean, Church was on the grass.

I wonder how hard it's going to have to rain for the umpires to call the game at Shea.

Yeah, that's a strange omission. I'd also put in Luis Gonzalez's Series-winning single off Rivera in 2001.

Mark Reynolds of the Diamondbacks just became the first-ever 200 strikeout guy in major league history.

Just once, I'd like to get a White Sox game that was carried by the other team's broadcaster on Extra Innings. Seems like it's always Harrelson.

Looks like Sabathia is starting on short rest for the Brewers again tonight. I guess they must trying to pitch him on Sunday as well, otherwise I'd have to wonder why Dale Sveum thinks he needs his best pitcher to beat the freakin' Pirates.

As probably the biggest Broncos fan on the board, I'll say that they're good enough to contend for the division title (especially given the 2-game headstart, which they're incredibly fortunate to have), but not good enough to make any serious noise in the playoffs. As good as the offence has been, the defence really hasn't gotten any better than it was last year -- San Diego and New Orleans, both with very good offences, tore off huge chunks of yardage, especially as the games wore on. I will say that Jay Cutler, although he's still a bit prone to making mistakes at crucial points, seems to have taken a quantum leap forward from last year. He's finally showing the skills we were promised when he was drafted. Now, the AFC seems a lot more wide open this year than in previous years, so they might become a legit Super Bowl contender as the season goes on, but that would be a (pleasant) surprise.

OK, thanks. Bad memory, I guess.

Three actually. HarleyQuinn, SFAJack and yourself. I knew two couldn't have been right, but I was too lazy to go and look a second time.

MLB should have told us about this league switch earlier...

About three years too late. He couldn't stay after that statement by the owner's son.

I don't see it that way. The whole premise of the show is that everything we're seeing ties together in the end, and we're seeing it all for a reason.

Only two teams in the entire AFC over .500. NFC is where it's at this year.

Nitpicking here, but don't keepers get moved UP one round if there are two keepers originally drafted in the same round?
