  1. IIRC, the proposed stadium was shut down in the early 2000s by assorted NIMBYS in the Gastown area....despite heavy public support.
  2. Trevor Harris just got rolled up on as he was trying to run for a first down. Looks like a serious knee injury. If he's lucky, it's an MCL, rather than an ACL....Either way, it looks like he's going to be out for a long time....
  3. Dammit! Just read that Kevin Gausman has been scratched from today's start due to "left side tightness"....On a day when the D-Backs have their All-Star, Zac Gallen on the hill... Jackson pitched yesterday, so I'm guessing he gets optioned to Buffalo and Bowden Francis gets called up....unless the Jays decide to move Chris Bassit up a day....
  4. I almost feel sorry for the Elks and their fans.... .....almost.... I believe their next chance to break that home losing streak will be against the Leos.
  5. It never fails to surprise how many people believe that because someone might be successful, or "ambitious", you aren't supposed to call them out for being jerks.... ....and if you do, you're "obsessed".
  6. .... but she criticized Elon.... Some people can't let that go....even if they claim they "Don't care about Elon".....
  7. Gerrit Cole in stealth mode, making the Cubans look good.....
  8. Surprised you felt compelled to come in here just to post that.....
  9. Oh FFS... You said something ignorant and got called out for it. Man up and admit it and stop being such a drama queen....
  10. "Off the cuff"....questioning the intelligence of someone based on their profession.....okay..... FTR: I don't go to Cannabis dispensaries (stopped smoking in my teens).....but I don't assume the people working there are stupid....
  11. Once again, you completely miss the point... I make no assertion (unlike you) about whether bartenders are intelligent or unintelligent. Much like any profession, there will be examples of both extremes.....
  12. Your posting history ITT makes me question that statement.... I also question your assertion that because someone used to tend bar, it naturally follows that they are unintelligent.
  13. So, apparently after the HR Derby last night, ESPN showed a graphic that called him the 2nd "Cuban-born" Derby champion. (Yoenis Cespedes was the first, in case you were wondering) Of course, anyone that follows the Guerrero's knows that the family is from the Dominican Republic....and anyone that follows Vlad Jr. knows that he was actually born in Montreal.... I was going to blame this screw up on the recent layoffs at ESPN, but from what I can tell, most of the people lets go were, NBA and NFL analysts.....
  14. In the eye of the beholder, I suppose.... AFAIK, she believes in Climate Change and vaccines, so that immediately makes this bartender more intelligent than some of the doctors and lawyers on the other side of those arguments. You really take this anti-Elon stuff personally, don't you? Is it because you defended him so hard, when he first bought Twitter, or are you one of those people who still believe he's the "genius" that "started Tesla"?
  15. I was wondering about that. I actually would have thought there would be more, considering the similarities with Cricket....
  16. TBH, I don't think the 2B even looks over at third if that weren't Kirk....or possibly Belt. I think even DJ makes it....
  17. Well, that's a much better way to go into the All-Star break. Nice inning by Romano....
  18. They had kind of painted themselves into a corner there....not having anyone they could pinch run for Kirk. Luckily Lukes came through.... Hopefully that was enough.
  19. A clutch hit from a Blue Jay..... ....I had forgotten what that looks like....
  20. If you had told me going into this series, that the only game the Jays would win would be Manoah's start......
  21. Despite the Sounders having the run of play in the 2nd half, that was a winnable game for the Whitecaps. The strike by Gauld after a terrific flick on by White, should have been enough, but once again, this team shows how poor they are at marking inside the box and on set pieces, in particular. I love Vanni, but I'm just baffled by his insistence to believe that Tristan Blackmon is an effective defender. He has been awful in pretty much every match I've seen him play this season. The Seattle goal that made it 2-2 was a direct result of him losing control of a ball a few yards outside the box and then being forced to give up a free kick, while earning himself an obvious yellow card. In the Whitecaps' defense, I think the decision to give Laborda a second yellow was extremely harsh. It's difficult to say if that was what led to the Sounders' winning goal, but it came almost immediately after....it certainly didn't help.
  22. This woman who is hosting the TSN broadcast is ridiculously bad.... First she starts of the half time show by saying "Not the start the Whitecaps were looking for" and then talking about how Seattle are happy with their first half.... Then later, when the topic shifts to the Gold Cup, she talks about the upcoming rematch between Canada and Mexico, before showing highlights of the American's 2-0 win in the CONCACAF Nations Cup.... Good on Kilbane for ignoring her ignorance and soldiering on with his commentary....
  23. On the plus side, Cordova actually looks kind of dangerous tonight....
