Outstanding post, Archie.

Reno,

 

[FairWarning]

face of which franchise?

Pirates or Giants?

he was an A-hole and he did Hate the media

Pirates at that time. He did take a lot of crap in Pitt for not winning at that time also.

Chris Chelios retired as an Atlanta Thrasher.

 

[Mudcat]

I didn't know that.

I heard a radio interview with him a couple weeks ago. Quite an engaging fellow. He has a newish book out.

I ain't gonna read it but yap.

Stanley Johnson going pro.

WHATAVARR

I won't lie, I'm nervous about tonight's game. Habs need to close the show tonight.

We're not all that better than Sens. There I said it.

So Stanley Johnson does all these tweets about how much the Zona fans love him. I guess they were tributes but dude - that was pretty grueling, man.

I do want him to do well but a car accident immediately following his press conference may have been some

kharma.

He's alright, the car isn't. He's going top 10 and signing with Jay-Z.

Go Stanley, go.

All 1 goal games with Habs/Sens so far.

Scores have been

4-3
3-2
2-1
1-0

If the trend continues, tonight's game should be

0 to -1

Usain Bolt rips Tyson Gay's reduced doping ban as 'stupidest thing I've ever heard'


Apparently Gay ratted on his trainer or something and got his suspension reduced. Bolt looks upon it askance.

So there - a rare post from the world of track.

Oh, no shit man.

Apparently the turf at Toronto's Rogers Centre sucks pretty hard.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! KINDLY REFRAIN FROM ANY MENTION OF BASEBALL HITTING STREAKS UNTIL THEY REACH 25 GAMES!

THANK YOU!

THAT IS ALL!

Good say.

Ryan Miller really got lit up.

Sad, but not very unexpected, to see.

 

[Mudcat]

The Blue Jays seem well-poised to put up their eleventy billionth consecutive season of right around .500

Giancarlo Stanton hit a fair ball 424 feet today in Marlins Park that didn't go over the fence.
