  1. Sure Markstrom has done all that, but has still yet to prove he can keep up with the NHL pace. Not saying he won't ever catch up but it's not a slam dunk that he will.
  2. All they have in the minors are younger arms though. If Bautista and EE get traded and you're rebuilding they need some potential offense back too.
  3. World Championship semi's on TSN 3?! Flipped it to TSN to watch and got European Soccer. Not cool TSN, not cool. Just for that I'm boycotting your website for a while.

      TSN really thinks Canadians care more about Hull City vs. Tottenham than the WC semifinal with Canada involved.

      BAN those fools.

  4. I'd still do that Marlin mega trade, to be honest. Buerhle has been a solid innings eater as advertised. If we can wish that Romero hadn't fallen off a cliff pitching-wise, we could also wish that Reyes wasn't having the injury issues. We'd then have one of the top short stops and lead off men in the league night in/night out.
  5. They would also have to overpay in trade assets too for, honestly, a guy whose best days are way behind him. A slight upgrade at best. Starting pitching is like 1/2 defensemen in the NHL, you pretty much have to draft and development them or WAY overpay in free agency or trades. To seriously upgrade the rotation would mean losing 2 of Bautista, EE, and Donaldson. Dang, the loss of Stroman just plain sucks.
  6. Another day, another outstanding Pillar catch. Not sure about Gold Glove requirements, but he better not get screwed over because he doesn't have enough games at any one outfield position.
  7. Little Cesaer's bacon wrapped pizza?! Does that take the top spot in heart attach waiting to happen?

      That looks just like the double down. Only more delicious.

  8. Went 7-1 for playoff picks. Darn loyalty to the Canucks...

      went 4-0 in the east and almost got all the games right too, picked Bolts in 6 that was the only one i missed. 2-2 in the west tho :(

      The east was pathetically easy to predict. The islanders should have won their seasons if not for some of the worst officiating ever.

  9. Good, I really didn't feel like shaving tonight

  10. Yeah, looks like he's been a solid 4th outfielder for them. Always nice to trade from a position of strength with Pompey and Pillar, Gose hasn't been missed.
  11. Edmonton, the City of Champions...well, Draft Lottery Champions.

      Calder Cup champions.

  12. That Subaru commercial got me into Woodkid. Pretty cool stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmc21V-zBq0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9IR-JNrTcA
  13. He seems to come up with a highlight reel catch every game. If he keeps this up and plays everyday just give him all three OF Gold Gloves.
  14. Heh, don't think Melky would've made that catch Pillar did in the 9th.
  15. Shaved today...hopefully I won't be shaving again for a couple of months.

      I haven't shaved in a month and I still can hardly grow a thing.

      ^ We just in playoff mode 24-7 I guess :P

  16. Last day of the regular season and have a 50 point lead in the hockey pool. Yeah, I think I have it wrapped up.

  17. I liked the at-bats in particular form Martin and Pillar. They showed a lot of patience and fought off a lot of pitches. You need those at-bats to work pitch counts and get to the bullpen sooner.
  18. Kris Letang must have been channeling his inner Bo tonight.

  19. Ugh, the World Cup of hockey format? Awful.

      It terrifies me to see that NHL officials will be allowed to work this. Now Sutherland can embarrass the sport on an international stage.

  20. There are unfortunate hits from behind and then there intentional hits from behind. Ronaldo's hit on Letang tonight was 100% intentional. He better get a lot of games.
