  1. what an ugly broken ankle...yikes...so sorry for Lockett
  2. I agree...I would even put up with his attitude if he can help the team.
  3. Jose Bautista is willing to accept a one-year contract, according to a report from Yahoo Sports MLB columnist Jeff Passan. Passan adds that while Bautista is willing to play on a one-year deal, he still wants it to be worth more than the $17.2 million qualifying offer he turned down from the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this off-season.
  4. I thought he got beat a lot tonight and out muscled as well.
  5. Scratch another off the list... ANAHEIM, Calif. — Outfielder Ben Revere has agreed to a $4 million, one-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels, three weeks after Washington allowed him to become a free agent. Revere can earn an additional $2.25 million in performance bonuses under the deal announced Friday. A left-handed hitter, he figures to back up Cameron Maybin, who bats from the right side.
  6. If you threw a party, the worst thing you could have done was throw the kind of party where your guests, the next day, call you up to say they had a nice time. Now you'll be expected to throw another great party next year. What you should have done was throw the kind of party where your guests wake up several days from now and call their lawyers to find out if they've been indicted for anything. You want your guests to be so anxious to avoid a recurrence of your party that they immediately start planning parties of their own, a year in advance, just to prevent you from having another one. So next time, make sure your party reaches the correct Festivity Level: FESTIVITY LEVEL 1: Your guests are chatting amiably with each other, admiring your Christmas tree ornaments, singing carols around the upright piano, sipping at their drinks and nibbling at hors d'oeuvres. FESTIVITY LEVEL 2: Your guests are talking loudly - sometimes to each other and sometimes to nobody at all, rearranging your Christmas tree ornaments, singing "I Gotta Be Me" around the upright piano, gulping their drinks and wolfing down hors d'oeuvres. FESTIVITY LEVEL 3: Your guests are arguing violently with inanimate objects, singing "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," gulping other people's drinks, wolfing down Christmas-tree ornaments, and placing hors d'oeuvres in the upright piano to see what happens when the little hammers strike them. (You want to keep your party somewhere around Level 3, unless you rent your home and own firearms, in which case you can go to Level 4.) FESTIVITY LEVEL 4: Your guests have hors d'oeuvres smeared all over their bodies, are performing a ritual dance around the burning Christmas tree, and have consumed all ten gallons of alcohol at the party. The piano is missing. The best way to get to Level Four is eggnog. To make eggnog, you'll need rum, whiskey, wine, gin and, if they are in season, eggs. Combine all ingredients in a large, festive bowl. If you use enough alcohol you won't have to worry about them getting salmonella poisoning - their alcohol toxicity level will eliminate that possibility. Then induce your guests to drink this potent mixture. If your party is successful, the police will knock on your door. If your party is very successful, the police will then lob tear gas through your living-room window.
  7. With Christmas nearly upon us, I would like to share my personal experience with others about drinking and driving. As you know, some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time, often on the way home after a 'social session' with family or friends. Well, two days ago, this happened to me. I was out for an evening with friends and had more than a few glasses of nice white wine, followed by a couple of bottles of rather good red, a Cointreau and a Bailey's. Although relaxed, I still had the common sense to know I was slightly over the limit. That's when I did something I've never done before... I took a taxi home. Sure enough, on the way there was a police roadblock, but since it was a taxi they waved it on and I arrived home safely without incident. This was a real surprise to me because I had never driven a taxi before. I don't know where I got it, and now that it's in my garage, I'm not sure what to do with it. So if anyone would like to borrow it, give me a call. Merry Christmas and be safe out there.
  8. of course not...might cost a few million when they still have to lowball a back up catcher and some bullpen help.
  9. A father had two little sons, one of whom was an eternal optimist, while the other was a perpetual pessimist. One Christmas he decided try to temper both of their proclivities: in addition to their standard gifts, he told them they'd each get something 'chosen especially for you'. His plan was to give the pessimist every toy and game he could possibly desire, while the optimist would be directed to the basement filled with manure. On Christmas, after the normal presents were opened, the father sent the optimist to the cellar, while leading the pessimist to the room filled with presents. After the pessimist opened all the gifts, he turned to his father with a sad face and said "How can I possibly use all these? The TV will wear out, the Nintendo will get smashed, and all the other toys will be broken!" After a few minutes of listening to such woe, the father remembered his optimistic son, and ran to the basement steps. There in the basement was his other son, swimming through the manure with a gleeful smile. The father asked him why he was so happy, to which the boy exclaimed "With this much manure, there must be a pony in here somewhere!"

      Big heart on a little guy...pretty tough for his size.

  11. I dont know about that...not if they want a back up catcher 1 corner outfielder and bull pen help all on about 22 million.... The Toronto Blue Jays will start the 2017 season with a payroll budget of $165 million, according to TSN's Rick Westhead. The budget is up 20 per cent from last year's starting payroll. The Jays payroll currently sits at an estimated $142 million with the team still looking to fill one or two corner outfield spots, sign a backup catcher and add some help for the bullpen, preferably left handed. Earlier this off-season, the team signed free agents Kendrys Morales (three-year, $33 million) and Steve Pearce (two-year, $12.5 million). The team currently have 11 players signed for $126.5 million. That figure does not include players eligible for arbitration or pre-arbitration players.
  12. The Boston Red Sox have traded pitcher Clay Buchholz to the Philadelphia Phillies, according to a report from Jon Heyman. The Red Sox will get minor-league 2B Josh Tobias in return for Buchholz, according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
  13. Thats an ominous sign for the future.Everything is falling into place for Rogers lowball plan
  14. Sister Maryellen entered the Monastery of Silence. The Priest said, “Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until directed to do so. Sister Maryellen lived in the monastery for 5 years before the Priest said to her, “Sister Maryellen, you have been here for 5 years. You may speak two words.” Sister Maryellen said, “Hard bed.” “I’m sorry to hear that,” the Priest said, “We will get you a better bed.” After another 5 years, Sister Maryellen was summoned by the Priest. “You may say another two words, Sister Maryellen.” “Cold food,” said Sister Maryellen, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in the future. On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister Maryellen in to his office. “You may say two words today.” “I quit,” said Sister Mary. “It’s probably best,” said the Priest with a heartfelt sigh, “You’ve done nothing but bitch since you got here.”
  15. Sure dont see any action by the Jays on the Blackmon...Bats..EE and Revere front..very afraid that Morales and Pearce are the Jays only position player pickups..... With long-time Blue Jay Brett Cecil departing for the St. Louis Cardinals earlier this off-season, Toronto may be looking to add a replacement left-handed reliever. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi is reporting that Toronto is “showing interest” in a trio of free-agents : Travis Wood, Boone Logan and Jerry Blevins. Wood posted a 2.95 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 77 appearances last season for the World Series champion Chicago Cubs. Logan recorded a 3.69 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 66 games with the Colorado Rockies and Blevins registered a 2.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 73 contests with the New York Mets.
  16.  

    Florida Panthers owner Vincent Viola has been nominated as Secretary of the Army by President-elect Donald Trump.

    The nomination is subject to Senate confirmation.  Why?

      They were saying that he wouldn't/didn't have to in the story I read...although he wont have any say in the running of the franchise.

  17. there is a huge traffic jam in front of my place right now and 2 translink buses broken down and stuck..crews working on them ...what a mess.

      I thought the Sharks' song was actually pretty good, all things considered. Nieto makes for a decent rapper :P The Calgary one was painful; I think Markus still spoke limited English, and it showed. The Canucks rap one was atrocious, I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I liked the video they did the year before of the Canucks-themed carols. Some of those songs weren't bad!

      I think Bo and Vrbata's songs were the best.

      I agree...I thought the Canuck carols  were pretty good for the most part...except for the girl going flat in a few of the songs...lol

  19. I can wear my United hat today without recourse...Ibra is the man.
  20. Laine would look good in Canuck colours..he blows everyone away in Winnipeg Super Sills shooting......

  21. A man wakes up in the hospital bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, however, your penis was severed in the accident and we couldn't find it." The man groans, but the doctor goes on, "You have $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap. It's roughly $1000 an inch." The man perks up. So, the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want. But understand that you have been married for over thirty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher before and get a nine incher now she might be a bit put out. If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she might be disappointed. It's important that she plays a role in helping you make a decision." The man agrees to talk it over with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day, "So, have you spoken with your wife?" "Yes I have," says the man. "And has she helped you make a decision?" "Yes" says the man. "What is your decision?" asks the doctor. "We're getting granite counter tops."
  22. worst part about EE going to Oakland is we don't get the 1st round pick as Oak has one of the worst records in the league and are exempt.
