the max

Jeff Weaver for A-Rod.

Great looking set, only one repeat figure (a repaint) Dany Heatley, Ottawa Senators 1 2 3 Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals 1 2 3 Bryan McCabe, Toronto Maple Leafs 1 2 3 Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers 1 2 3 Alex Tanguay, Color--er...Calgary Flames 1 2 3 Joe Thornton, San Jose Sharks (a repaint from series 10) 1 2 3 None really effect me one way or the other, I just thought they all looked pretty good.

http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=171956&hubname= The Oil get Stoll for two years. http://www.wgr550.com/sabres/fullstory.php?id=1733 Tallinder signs with the Sabres to a multi-year deal. Apparently 4 years.

He's 21!

Yeah, all fifteen of them.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=171859&hubname= Panthers kill an Eagle. Looking more and more like Alex Auld is going to be a starter next season... And sources are reporting that Kessel and the Bruins are talking contract now rather than Phil going back to Minneysoty. Kessel wants the rookie max, but the Bruins aren't willing to go that high. Uh oh...

Tell that to Club de Hockey Canadien. That's not a word, though, it's a C with an H in it. And a C inside of that. Even so, it's not a word or a logo. It's a letter. Despite that, it's arguably the most recognizable logo in the sport. I realize that allegedly nobody cares about the team, but that doesn't mean that the logo is bad. It's immediately better than the old children's logo.

The plans for those phones were awful. Typical plans were ~80 bucks for 200 minutes and such. Terrible. The idea behind having a mobile sports package itself is brilliant, but there's no need for a completely new phone service. Maybe they should be working on a package that's a few bucks a month that allows you to have scrolling scores and breaking news sent to your phone. And make it available on every network.

Tell that to Club de Hockey Canadien.

Tuesday nights game was a bang bang play that Jorge looked safe on replays and only looked out when they did slow mo. Also two wrongs dont make a right and only the Homeplate Umpire can call time not the third base umpire. Any ump can call time.

And getting the woodchipper out to destroy evidence.

I'd like to know the rest of the story, but Hillenbrand is coming off as a first class crybaby.

You can, but there'll be reprecussions.

http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=171763&hubname= Great deal for the Rags. http://tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=7545&hubname= Arbitration hearings start tomorrow. Bruins fans are in crisis mode for Tanabe's on 8/3.

Joel Siegel walked out of a Clerks 2 critic screening. Opie and Anthony had K. Smith on the show today to promote the film and happened to get the mustachioed critic on the phone, where Smith laid into him for almost ten minutes for being unprofessional. Siegel didn't know who he was talking to and saw no problem not only walking out of a film (his job is to review films) but disrupting the film while it was being shown.

Yeah, in 1974-76. The owners were in debt and moved the team. I wouldn't call something thirty years ago indictative of a market.

And with good cause. Stop letting your animals loose. My girlfriend's cat was an outdoor cat, but can't be now that we're living where we are. She has to leash him and take him for walks. It's being a pet-owner. If you're not going to be responsible and take after your pets, either give them up or suffer the consequences. First of all, that's trespassing. Like Agent said, you're lucky they didn't kill the barking rat. Second of all, you acknowledge that your dog went into their house. Right there, it doesn't matter how big a mess it made. Apologize and move on. Attach the rat to a leash. Good, considering the fact that it's their landscaping on their property. You'd be bitching too if someone took a dump in your yard. They probably want you act like a responsible adult and abide by the same rules that they have to abide by. Since you're seemingly above the law, maybe you should rethink the original post you made and put yourself in the neighbor's shoes and see what you'd do about it. Personally, I'd just rat you out and get your animals taken away/you and your parents fined/whatever.

Agreed, but I don't think we've seen Walker at his best yet. He'll wind up third line though probably, so, maybe this post is moot. Walker's 33 tomorrow. He'd better start showing his best soon...

I only watched a few minutes because of the awful Roz opening the show. WHY IS SHE YELLING WHEN THERE'S A FUCKING MICROPHONE IN FRONT OF HER FUCKING FACE?!

I know that it was only the Royals, but Lester pitched a beauty tonight. 99 pitches over 8 one-hit innings before giving way to Papelbon. Lester to Papelbon sounds pretty good for the future.

Wait a minute, Hockey is a real sport? I know it's popular in canada and that's cool. So is Curling. But Americans could give 2 shits about it. And i like hockey. Not all Americans are mindless drones.

Walker is a good player when he's not hurt. Which is a lot. He's never played a complete season in the NHL, he got in 75 games in 2003-04 and played well though.

Second is allready there, its going to be impossible to catch up to the Blackhawks, unless Wirtz decides to do something. The only way the Blackhawks improve is if Wirtz clutches his chest and falls face-first into a plate of lasagna.

It was pretty funny, actually. He ran on a 3-2 count to Nixon, who struck out. Ortiz thought he fouled it off and almost stopped between first and second. He started running again and barely made it to the base when Buck's throw was about five feet over Graffanino's head. Thus, Ortiz was able to slide under the tag. He stood up with his big smile and the Red Sox dugout was laughing at him, giving him the "two-arms down = slide" hand gestures and whatnot. The Sox announcers had a lot of fun with it as well. Remy said that Ortiz could probably steal 40 a year if he didn't stop between the bases.

psst...that was Lombardi. I think it's true. Carter's the black Glen Murray. Without a good passing forward his offense is...kind of...nonexistant.
