  1. Is it just me or has Teoscar really improved his approach to the plate. The man is actually getting some BBs.
  2. I dunno, at first glance neither of these guys appear to be better than a prospect like Pearson, so I'm a little underwhelmed as that's not a super high bar. On the upside, Woods Richardson is still very young so there is lots of time to prove he can be more. I wanted a top pitching prospect in return for Stroman and neither of these guys are that. I guess that was too much to ask. I'll gladly eat my words if I'm wrong, but I'm going to say the Mets will win this trade.
  3. Mets have no top 100 ranked prospects that are pitchers. Ew.
  4. How do you get 110 Canadians to get out of a pool? Go up to the side and call "Okay everybody, time to get out of the pool"
  5. Well now, come home after some shopping and go to check the score to see the damage and surprised to find it tied in the 11th.
  6. I've heard too many people complain about paper straws. If we as a society can't even make that one change to better the environment, we're screwed, humanity will not only keep driving the car over the cliff, but we'll step on the gas because the wind feels nicer in our hair. Are plastic straws nicer to use? Yes, but paper straws aren't that bad and using something that'll break down before we do has a value too.
  7. Yeah, stranger things have happened with prospects finally getting it together, but I still have serious doubts that he can be a MLB batter. That being said, I would be a little surprised too if he clears waivers, he could aid some playoff-bound team as a pitch-runner. It may not happen this year, but I don't think Travis' days with Jays are long either. There's a lot of depth in the middle infield that is passing him now. He could be done the moment he gets healthy. So what I'm saying is, I guess he's a Jay for life.
  8. https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/decision-haunt-blue-jays-looms-dalton-pompey/ I'll go on the record and state that waiving Pompey will not come back to haunt the Jays. The guy has wheels but, at this point (26 years old), that's about it.
  9. glass top stoves There are a million and one rules for cleaning and what you can't put on them. They take forever to heat up and to cool down. If an element malfunctions, you're screwed. If they crack you're screwed. If you leave a hot, sugary spill on them too long, you're screwed. Too me, it's Exhibit A of favouring style over function too much. In a perfect world I could've gotten a gas stove, but my town house complex doesn't have gas. So when it came to shopping for a new stove (current stove literally took 1 hour to heat to 400), gas wasn't in the equation. I was shocked to find there was essentially no choice. The only element option was the cheapest of the cheap, your extras are the clock and oven light, "basement suite" model. I didn't want a glass top stove to begin with and was pretty much was forced into getting one. Now that we have one, I hate it. I hate that I can't just simply wipe it down to clean it. I hate that I've gone from an oven that took forever to heat up, now to a stove top that takes forever to heat up. I hate that I basically had no choice unless I wanted the el cheapo "every day is a blessing after 5 years of use" element model.
  10. What is going on in Northern BC?

      Heard the suspect is running to Manitoba.  Just shoot these mofus.  

  11. Like @Fanuck, I'll wait to get excited once the ink is dry on a contract. Not doubting the rumour, but also not counting my chickens until they hatch.
  12. ? Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16, 17 also landed on the moon.
  13. Agree. Rogers Arena really doesn't seem like an old arena. Not yet anyway.
  14. Are those goal totals for next year or the next 4 years
  15. Ahaha, "Clean Shaven Danny Jansen", I hope that is a nickname that'll stick.
  16. Looks to be, although the rinks in Ottawa and Montreal are not far behind (less than a year)
  17. Yep, one that was developed here in Canada. Yes people, the public sector can innovate.
  18. Not to mention, not all shots are created equal. Even if you categorize them (slot, point, on the rush, etc), not all shots are created equal. Tool in the tool box, but should never be taken out of context.
