I don't know how to say this without sounding a little gay; is Max at the new TSM? I need a Broons fan to argue with there.

Work in progress.

Ala the tennis Grand Slams, I think we'd be better served with threads devoted to just the majors instead of monthly threads. To that end, I'm still impressed with how much traffic the June '08 thread saw during the U.S. Open on Sunday evening. My absolute favourite sporting event kicks off in five days, to cap off a pretty good week: Wrestlemania, start of baseball season, the ending of the NHL season/start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In lieu of the Jays home opener live, I'll be going to Tuesday night's game following the live taping of The Hour with George Stromboulopolous. Tiger's 'take that' to Sean O'Hair last week cemented his status as favourite #1 for Augusta, although a win by 1A Philly Mick at Houston this week could open the debate back up. Furthermore, Fed Ex Cup leader Geoff Ogilvy's been lost in the shuffle of the Tiger-Phil frenzy, and 2007 Masters champ Zach Johnson quietly finished third in Orlando last week. Discuss.

Not since Espo in 1970 has a rookie hit ten shutouts. While a win over the Lightning doesn't mean a parade is imminent, this is a huge win for the Habs: * A win over a team they've struggled with this season gives me a little confidence for any potential run-in with the Bruins. I know that sounds more like a preview for Wrestlemania than the playoffs, but, I can dream, can't i? * They shouldn't have blown the lead, but they didn't roll over and play dead after Tampa's comeback. * This ties into my above point, but surely the Habs had their eyes on the out-of-town scoreboard tonight, and still won to keep pace with the Panthers. I'm sick like hell of pulling for the Sabres, but I may have to once more to satsify a bunch of small bets some buddies and I made. In fact, it could benefit me if they played like hell Friday night and ran on fumes at the Bell Centre Saturday. Baby steps, though. Hey if they win one more, that's a winning streak! It has happened before! Shit, they better win Saturday, I've been waiting weeks to put that picture up!

I'll let Baron answer for me. For a long time, one of my proudest moments was getting kicked out of the peelers for just being 'too drunk'. No groping, no fighting, just 'too drunk'. Come to think of it, for all the days and bars I've been plastered in, I've stayed out of trouble for the most part.

15k contrast is so-so, especially for a plasma. 720p native is not the highest available by any means, but the difference between rendered 1080 and native 1080 is not earth-shattering. Viera is probably the best-made plasma on the planet, and 42" for 750, regardless of specs, is a bargain. Enjoy.

That hatred sounds like something I'd get onboard for. Go on....

I hope it collapses on top of him. Fuck that guy. As someone who's a pretty casual baseball fan, I don't entirely understand what Loria did. I actually did a project in my PR class during college where I had to play Loria justifying his late 1997 roster slashing - does two roster slashes supersede two World Series titles in six years?

And.....exhale.

I've been a longtime fan of YnA, at least in the best-poster tourney. That should be good enough.

I demand at least some credit for this thread. Also, why did we go to 150k x 150k avatars? My Bj birdie is stretched the fuck out!

I've been drinking, and my support for YnA hasn't changed whatsoever.

Montreal still has a team? How do you like that!
