  1. Over 162 games even a historically good team will lose dozens of times. It’s just an unfortunate truth. Some days you actually outplay them but despite all the solid contact you hit everything right at the defence. Some days it’s a bad bounce or two, some days you run into a pitcher having an unusually good day. Even a bad team is full of major league ball players who are capable of beating anybody on a given day, it just happens for them less often.
  2. Can't say I know the farm system too well but LHP Ricky Tiedemann looks intriguing-, 4-1 record with a 1.41 ERA and 68 SO in 44.2 IP from a 6'4 nineteen year old in High A. Third rounder from last year. Leo Jimenez is on the 40-man roster while in High A. I'd be curious to see what he looks like.
  3. You think a unique name was the difference between him going relatively high in the draft rather than not drafted at all? That’s a hot take if I’ve ever seen one.
  4. He’s written a series of children’s books too. It’s hard to hate the guy.
  5. No kidding I saw the story kicking around a couple other places as well. Considering it's being reported by the NYP and just the lunacy of the story itself, I have a hard time believing it.
  6. You can’t get mad at that face. It’s just the rules.
  7. Same here. Holed up in a 1BR apartment with my girlfriend (also sick) and a dog recovering from surgery. Neither of them will stop farting.
  8. The small contingent of Flames fans I call friends will be insufferable through whatever run the Flames go on this year. I’m hoping it doesn’t last long.
  9. I’m not sure I ever saw Tulo throw a ball with his feet set. You’d have to think Tulo would be just about the best guy for Bo to learn from, right? He was always big and slow for a SS but played the position at an elite level for a long time. That’s got to speak to his knowledge and smarts for it. Seeing Tulo play SS for the Jays right after Jose Reyes was an interesting contrast actually. They were pretty opposite in how they played it, with Reyes relying more on his quickness and athleticism. Once his feet slowed down we saw throwing errors become a bigger issue for him. I really liked the Tulo acquisition at the time (I was always a fan of his) and still do, even if the bat never materialized with Toronto. I didn’t imagine we’d be seeing it pay dividends still in 2022, however, but I’m happy to see it.
  10. Cute pup. Sticking with the Canucks theme, maybe Quinn? He’s a little on the softer spoken, meeker side.
  11. A picture from a recent camping trip with my little girl. Unfortunately she tore both her ACL’s doing some zoomies in the woods but it was a great weekend otherwise.
  12. Let’s see the bully face! I’ve long thought of Bo as a name for my next male dog. A good dog name and a nod to our current Canucks captain.
  13. I could be wrong but I think he can play because he was on the Canucks reserve list at the TDL.
  14. Panarin and Fox are two big reasons the Rangers are where they are. We were never gonna land free agents like that.

  16. For a short while. They’ve got Jeremy Peña waiting in the wings. I think they viewed this situation similar to the Nats letting Harper walk knowing they had Soto to replace him.
  17. It’s pretty good, sure but with less than 20 goals and a good chunk of points being secondary assists and/or power play points it’s not what I’d like to be paying $8.25m for.
  18. It’s more like a 75 point pace, with less than 20 goals and a good chunk of the assists being of the secondary variety. A career high %, in fact. If the Jets were to explore a Blake Wheeler trade, do you think they’d have to retain, add a sweetener, or take a similar contract back? I do.
  19. He’s declined statistically and in terms of durability. Unlikely to eclipse 20 goals this year. You think Winnipeg loves that contract?
