Quoner

Canadian shots fired.

Agree, but two things I am holding out some hope on: The AL East was hot, piping ass this year. Toronto put up some numbers, but man, after the TB starters went down, they got to feast on some bad pitching. I would argue there is more talent in the Rangers and Astros staffs than that entire division (based on who was healthy this year.) The Jays bullpen has been covered lately, but no excitement over the idea of Mark Lowe vs., say, Sam Dyson in a 4-4 game late? I see a huge advantage there. The win is definitely not likely and everything is gravy since none of this was supposed to happen, but a short series could be magical.

This disclaimer

I was a Mangia fan when I lived in Austin, too, but the most memorable thing about it for me was my brother and I convincing my sainted mother it was called Mangina's with a straight face so she could then suggest to the rest of the family we "grab some Manginas" the Sunday after a family wedding.

Booing, angry Yankee fans bring back warm memories of 2010. Nice work, Astros - and good luck with the draw I wish the Rangers had gotten before Toronto tanked into our bracket and rested everyone. Hope to see you guys in the ALCS.

Why stop at black shirts and pants to show you're unhappy? How about a black pearl necklace, sensible midnight pumps and eye liner? We're all pissed, but after a few days, I'm wondering if this is the right show of anger. All you do is make an obvious situation about you and how mad you are. While that may feel good at first, there are people who come to homecoming for other reasons and either having to listen to some dude loudly explain himself or drunkenly rail at the coaching staff is not going to make for a game day experience anyone wants to remember or repeat. Everyone in that stadium knows we suck and it seems like the better avenue is to walk away, write letters, stay out of the stadium or find other outlets for attention. Then again, I was once on national TV in green spandex with stickers on my nips, so what the F do I know?

With just like a sack of each? Was he sitting down? Back alley meeting?

You think a puck posession team built to hold it for the majority of the game should play dump and chase when they can't win physical battles and have an undersized defense? Hatcher, Matvichuk, Chambers and Ludwig beating the crap out of people made it go. When the rules changed, they all vanished quickly and painfully. You think Goli chipping a puck into a corner so Benn, Seguin and Val can dig it out is the best use of this team? Did you enjoy all the success this style has had in the last decade in the playoffs? CBJ was a Hitch mulligan, but Philly and St. Louis had as much talent as anyone and have been beaten by lower ranked teams in the playoffs every year. This era is over. I liked it more, but this is the McCarney team style of the NHL. As for not unundestanding why Cherry is a clown, I'm going to assume you've never rooted for a non-North American player before or watched him at all, really.

Yeah. If only those top four seeded Blues could develop a player or two. Or those Flyers teams. I loved 1999 as much as anyone, but the games done changed...actually to the point where bragging about agreeing with a clown like Don Cherry is not something to brag about.

You mean under an entirely different rulebook with no one averaging a point a game? That's your relevant sample instead of what's happened since in Philly, CBJ and St. Louis?

Delaying the inevitable?

Not a Pringles Man fan either (nor a giant detractor), but would all this offensive talent work in a Hitch system in today's NHL?

Peguero on the postseason roster or nah?

You bet your Aston you can.

Maybe we've been going about this all wrong and he's simply waking up, The Long Kiss Goodnight style...

You could be the Hutchence to his Carradine?

You know everyone is agreeing with you, right?

If we send another sandwich, should we take the toppings out of the bread and put them around it? YOU JUST GOT BREADWICHED, RV!

Air tight comeback for them coming....right.... Now.

Think I saw something from the AD that said Mean Joe Steeler-Greene played here once. So kewl that both teams are named after him!

Don't stop the similarities here, gang! We also have linemen - on both sides of the ball, a punter, some coaches, a sideline, goal posts, road games, numbers assigned to players, shoes, clipboards, mouth guards, hash marks, practices, blocking sleds, end zones, wide receivers, guys who never play, sun glasses and even cheerleaders!

The old Carlos Peguero/Mike Trout conundrum...
