The race for WC 2 in the EC between the Isles, Red Wings, and Flyers can be summed up....
The race for WC 2 is more than those three teams - and except for the Wings is a race to WC2 and Met 3.
But I love the Stooges and agree with the premise that none of these teams don't appear to be serious Cup contenders.
But a heartfelt thanks to the Sabres, Hurricanes and (one of my two most hated sports franchises) Rangers for putting the Islanders above a Wild Card spot for the time being.

RIP Pat Zachry.
Came to the Mets in the Seaver
debacletrade. I've probably mentioned it but I was at the game where he gave up the hit to Pete Rose that tied Tommy Holmes hit streak. We were on the first base side and when he got to the dugout after the inning I saw him disappear awkwardly. Told my father and the next day we found out he was p!ssed about giving up the hit (could be wrong but I think it was Rose's 3rd AB), tried to kick something and tripped - ended up with an extended stay on the DL. Good times.-

My son is in College Park, MD and they felt it. A co-worker in RI felt it as well. He was on a call with folks from Philadelphia who felt it a few moments before he did.
The Empire State Building’s official X account jumped into the fray online, quipping, “I AM FINE.”

I get that the A's have abysmal attendance, but moving to a stadium in another city with only 10k seats (+4k for lawn chairs) sounds crazy to me for any professional team.
It'll be a unique opportunity to see MLB up close and personal. Without knowing a thing about the area, it wouldn't surprise me if they pack the place regularly. Especially since they'll only be there a few years.
Reminds me a liitle of the Islanders playing in a scaled down Nassau Coliseum while their new arena was being built. Not apples to apples by any stretch cuz the Coliseum was smaller but not tiny, the Isles were competitive and the Coliseum was closer to their fan base than Brooklyn.

I'm already checked out three games into the season. The only things worth watching for me at this point are Alvarez and Diaz. The starting pitching staff is as bad as always. Too many deep counts and baserunners stealing them blind. Rinse & repeat. I'm fully expecting them to be out of it by the trading deadline and dealing Alonso and then attempting to pay Bor-ASS' ransom to re-sign him in the off-season. They've lost 9 of their last 10 to the average to slightly above average Brewers. Good times. LGM?
I wouldn't characterize myself as checked out, but I had more optimism than others going into the season (it's what I do) and that quickly flipped to pessimism after 2.5% of the games have been played.
I watched post game interviews with Manaea, the manager and Lindor and got really deflated. None of them showed any passion, my son and I were just crushing the formulaic and sometimes dumb stuff they were saying.

He reprised his role of Count Floyd for Rush's Grace Under Pressure tour (1984) and introduced the song, The Weapon
Damn I forgot the Rush connection - that's the only tour that I saw them live. Pretty scary stuff, eh kids?
RIP

I didn't see the slide but by all accounts it was clean and tbh I heard a quote from the Squirrel about 'safety first' that sounded cringy. But I have no problem with the reliever making a point by throwing behind Hoskins. Much better than the past few years where all we got is the Buck scowl.
On the field, I have really high hopes for Alvarez. Looks like a guy with the skills and swagger to be a great one.

on that token- I’ve never thought of “close my eyes and think it was the original” as actually being a good cover
I mean, cool for a bar band, right? But in an artistic sense it’s so much cooler when someone successfully walks the tightrope of bringing new life to a familiar work. Funny enough, that’s also the fast track to a bad cover too.I'm cool with both. In this case the vocals are so true to the original from decades ago that I'm blown away. Not sure if the singer is a 'Karen Carpenter' tribute singer or a singer that nailed a tribute to her. I suspect the latter but could be wrong.
Completely agree on pros/cons of 'bringing new life' to covers. To each their own, my wife isn't a fan but I think this is great:

If your eyes were closed you would not know that was a cover. I am not a huge fan of the original - nice song but - meh - to me. However, as covers go, that one nails it.
I thought the same and actually closed my eyes to test the theory. It passed.

Well, a simple kind of life never did me no harm,
raising me a family and working on the farm.
My days are all filled with an easy country charm.Thank God I’m a country boy.
Bumping @WhoTom's last post. Lyrics feel right.
