  1. I was actually waiting for someone to try and blame ISIS or Al Qaeda.... ....saying the it looked like a "controlled demolition" and/or that "shelves just don't collapse that way".....
  2. So.......we've all had "one of those days" at work, amirite?
  3. It was many years ago, but I'll always remember my Mom's favorite line....when she called one of us kids and we'd say "I'm coming", her response would be "Yeah? Well so is Christmas and it'll get here before you do!"
  4. You must have hated the weeks leading up to Christmas as a kid, Chuck.....
  5. I think the best we can hope for with Tulo is that he gets healthy at some point in the season and is able to contribute in a meaningful way. Then, hopefully, he could be moved to a contender at the deadline. (with the team eating some of the salary, of course)
  6. As a fan of both Led Zeppelin and Tolkien, The Battle of Evermore has always resonated with me....
  7. Gotta disagree there Chuck. If keeping Vlad on the farm for the first month of the season gives the team an extra year of control, it's a no-brainer to do it. And, as I already pointed out, Gurerro himself is on record being okay with it.
  8. Different album, but I always thought Skateaway was a really underrated song....
  9. Shi Davidi was talking about this at the GM meetings. It has something to do with the years of service thing. The Jays are calling it "development" just so the reason isn't so obvious. Don't worry about Vlad, though. Stephen Brunt asked him about it and his response was basically "I've waited my whole life to be an MLB player. What's another month or two?"
  10. I agree. Unfortunately, I also agree that this is probably career ending.
  11. They've got another one as well. Righty Jackson McClelland has also topped 100, but like a lot of guys who throw that hard, has trouble with control. He's Rule 5 eligible, so it remains to be seen if the Jays can keep him. You hate to lose a guy with that kind of arm, but the Jays have a lot of prospects....
  12. Well......except for the 1990 Stanley Cup.....
  13. I read an extremely biased article on this last night. For a few minutes, I was wondering when Sportsnet.ca became Calgary cheerleaders, but then I realized the article was by the same POS who was joking about Petey's concussion: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/matthew-tkachuk-re-ignited-spirit-battle-alberta/
  14. Horrible luck for Alex Smith and the 'Skins.... ....and 33 years to the day that Joe Theismann had his leg snapped by LT....
  15. True colors from Matthew Tkachuk.... ...throwing punches at Draisatl when the zebras are between them....jumping on top of McDavid when he's already tangled up with Backlund...and chickening out when challenged by Kassian....followed by a classic turtle that Matt Cooke would have been proud of.... At least Bennett answered the bell against Nurse.
  16. While the Dotard in chief shares clueless tweets about "forest mismanagement", two Canadians are doing whatever they can to help the victims of California's wild fires: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/couple-who-planned-holiday-to-paradise-spend-vacation-helping-wildfire-evacuees/ar-BBPM98D?li=AAggXBV Not the way most of us envision spending a vacation, but props to the Klynes for their selflessness.
  17. Not off the top of my head, but if you search for "guitar tutorial" you'll probably find something helpful.
  18. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nfl/jeff-rohrer-—-retired-dallas-cowboys-linebacker-—-comes-out-as-gay-reveals-hes-getting-married/ar-BBPJLjj?li=AAggNb9 A gay Cowboy (not that there's anything wrong with that) how apropos....
  19. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/vancouver-real-estate-agent-suspended-for-faking-sick-grandmother-doctors-note/ar-BBPJW1G?li=AAggXBV Hmmmmm.....I wonder what Harv is doing these days....
  20. Funny that it didn't die with the USFL or the XFL. We'll see if it's the upstart American league, or the 60 year old Canadian league that is still standing when the dust settles.....
