  1. Had a dream last night that Brock was lighting it up. Some sniper-elite $#!*.
  2. Only to be exacerbated by their own lack of clutch hitting with guys on. Cruel game.
  3. Yea I've been following Gaudette this year and he's quite the player. Another good pick by JB. Lockwood has also had a great season.
  4. Wow, what an unsettling thing to listen to. Blue Jay's pitcher TJ House took a line drive off the side of the head in the bottom of the 9th. Sure hope he's okay.
  5. I play everything. I love my xbox one just as much as I love my older systems, but I love my computer more. There just isn't anything close in the console world that stacks up to a good PC. I want to get one of the emulator cabinets one day, I just don't have the room for one as of right now.
  6. For conversation's sake, let us assume he does indeed have a superiority complex, why let it bother you? Does it truly affect you? If he's just a troll, why let it bother you? He wants the reaction. I just can't fathom why people allow others to affect themselves in any way. The only thing we can control is our reaction to others. I choose to laugh.
  7. Oh, I think I've seen enough of your posts to know you're a good sport. I just don't understand why people take the bait... Entertaining for me either way!
  8. I'm not sure Edwin ever had a choice once the Jays signed Steve and Kendrys. That offer must have had an expiration date on it and once they decided he was "gone", that was it. It took the Jays some time to circle back to Jose as well.
  9. That's how a pro athlete should behave. Do your work, and slide in beside your team.
  10. BASEBALL!!! At least we'll get to watch one winning team in 2017!
  11. Ring of Honour, no doubt. Retired jersey? No. I think people need to realise that retired numbers are for the GREATS... I would even argue that Naslund shouldn't have been retired, but that's a moot point. Daniel and Henrik will be retired, but that's about it for that generation of player. I could even see Hansen getting into the ROH once his career is done. 10 years of service isn't something to scoff at.
  12. It's very common for good shooters to play on the off-wing. He's a right shot, that most likely can play on either wing.
  13. Bingo. The guy finds gems. If he picked Goldobin, I'm willing to bet we've got a real good player.
  14. Agreed. This is the alarming part. I was hoping he would go down and work on his positioning and using his size. He has all the tools to be an impact player, but it seems he will need more time to put it all together.
  15. Wow, I can't believe I've been on this forum for over 12 years. Does anyone know when CDC first came online?

      This is not my first account. I joined in '03 not long after the board came online. It has had many incarnations and looks over the years :)

      Ahh... That explains the confusion! I remember browsing the forum for probably six months before I joined up. I was quite young at the time lol

      There's not a tonne of us '03ers and '04ers left here anymore. Those of us who are have seen many changes over those years....

  16. I was being sarcastic. You're completely right. I've thought about it, looked into it and have come to realize and accept that there is a bias. No, I don't own a tinfoil hat. Like you said, it's about money and entertainment. There has always been a bias against Canadian teams in the big 3 (Baseball, Hockey, Basketball). I don't watch enough MLS to be sure, but I'll assume it exists there too. If there was a Canadian NFL team, I'd bet there would be a bias there as well.
  17. You mean a blatant bias against Canadian teams from American run leagues?? No, not possible. Not in America.
  18. No idea, all I know is he played at a pre-season game in Montreal.
  19. I only seen the last part of the anthem, was it Russel's dad playing his sax again?
  20. I would tend to agree, Walt. Blackhawks and Chiefs are one thing, Redskins, Indians and Braves are slightly more racial. It's 2016, and probably time we started to get away from the racial names in sports. This isn't the 50's and 60's where racial stereotypes are the norm. We're living in an increasingly PC society, where classism and racism have taken a whole new turn for the worst. I'm sure they can afford to rebrand their teams, which would only lead to an influx of revenue (ie: new fan swag)
  21. With the game on the line, I don't think anyone plays as hard as JD. Love the additions of JD, RM, and TT. Tough, talented winners. Love it.
  22. Makes you wonder what the Sox will do with him if they fail to advance. That's a ton of money tied up in one pitcher that cannot put it together when it really matters.
