  1. Stop whining about Harold Reynolds. There's nothing wrong with his commentating. He made one statement in jest and so many dopes lose their minds. The guy is knowledgeable and well spoken. Would you rather have a jerk like Tim McCarver ruining a broadcast.
  2. If anyone missed it, SN1 is re-showing the Jays game starting at 7pm

  3. Boosh Pahtee, no sleep, Boosh Pahtee

  4. Surprised Texas is going with Hamels over Gallardo in game 5. Though Hamels has more experience and did win his start.
  5. Bueherle wasn't expected to be included on the playoff roster. You go with a 4 man rotation and he's currently their 5th best starter. He's been struggling a lot down the stretch. You go with Price, Stroman, Dickey and Estrada. I'd actually go with Price, Dickey, Stroman and Estrada in that order. That way Dickey pitches at Rogers twice and Stroman is your potential game 7 starter.
  6. Well if your closer is going to poop the bed, better he do it in the regular season.
  7. "Conner, it's Mess. Just calling to let you know I'll be following you around at training camp like a lost puppy. You know, to ride your coat tails."

      Connor, it's Mess. I'm just sitting on the couch ... the popcorn's getting a little cold, but I can just microwave another pack. The 3rd Harry Potter's almost over. I'm sure you'll be here soon for the 4th.'

      Conner, it's Crosby. If you want to know what playing in the 21st century is like. Give me or Toews a call. Messier is dinosaur.

      And by the way doesn't Messier live in US?

  8. Had no idea Eddie Van Halen ever performed this live with MJ.
  9. I don't think many or the main organic producers are independent. Most have been acquired by larger food companies. WhiteWave Foods (WWAV) acquired Horizon Organic and Earthbound Farms. Hain Celestial (HAIN) acquired Earth's Best, Health Valley among others. General Mills own Cascadian Farms to balance out their roster of sugary cereals.
  10. ETF's are a great way to get exposure to certain sectors without gambling on individual names. The days of paying a front end load plus a 2% management fee on a mutual fund are over. However, you must avoid 2x and 3x ETF's like the plague. These are not for investment, they are basically designed to go to zero. Or in many cases low single digits then reverse split. They are to be used for intra day trading only, says so right in the prospectus. Many people have no clue then are left wondering why their 3x S&P ETF has declined while the S&P has gained 30%.
  11. A full blown recession in China. While that's highly unlikely, their grown projections are BS. Iron ore imports in China fell -16% and somehow they're still projecting growth at 7.3%. It just doesn't work like that.
  12. LOL Police Fire 84 Shots At Man And Miss 83 Times http://news.yahoo.com/police-fire-84-shots-man-233124390.html

      Not surprising. Most Officers lack the training. At the range I shoot at many of the officers are lousy shots.

      testament to that whole "many cops have inadequate training" assertion.

  13. Japanese heavy metal 80's style. I'll be very impressed if anyone remembers these guys.
  14. It's a diabolical plot. Benning trading the bald guys (Kass, Bonino). Whos next?

  15. If you're an absolute newbie the best thing you can do is go get a book like "Investing for Dummies" (never mind the insulting title). It will go through the very basics. Explaining a bit about the economy, what stock is, what a dividend is, a little fundamental analysis like what a P/E ratio is, what a "stop loss" order is, how to read a basic price chart etc. There's a wealth of knowledge available on the internet too.
  16. Thanks for those Mr. DD I knew I was in for a treat when I saw Rocket Queen was 13 minutes long. Here's a lost gem from a long time ago. .....
  17. Last song on Appetite for Destruction. Last song rejected for Appetite for Destruction.
  18. Well US politics just got a whole lot more bizarre.

  19. NDP majority govt in Alberta??? Now I've seen it all.

      In 07 oil dropped from $149 to the high 30's. PC's survived that.

  20. We started off looking like the '85 Oilers and finished like the '85 Canucks. Sad but true.

  21. If I'm McDavid I am playing the next 2 years in the KHL for serious money and going back into the draft.

  22. Anthem singer at MSG has the worst ever toupee.

      toupee or not toupee, that is the question.
