The irony for me was earlier tonight my boys put college bowling on instead of baseball or hockey just to f with me.

An Islander fan wonders who's up next. Playoff hockey is unparalleled. Can't wait for the next round.

Rails up or rails down?

Marshawn's Wall worthiness is intriguing and well worth discussing but premature IMO. Quite frankly I'd table Marshawn discussion until we rally around Kyle and get him up on the Wall where he belongs - and I do not mean #95. Although there's an outside chance #95 should be up there before Marshawn as well.

When Alonso got hit the other night it looked like the catcher was ready to intercede and Alonso patted him on the chest, like 'no problem bro'. At the time the bases were loaded with two out and McNeil had been hit to load the bases. Nice to see Alonso had situational awareness. I would seriously doubt either was hit intentionally. I thought that was pretty cool.

Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?

All I ever wanted was for the blatant bad call to be over-turned. We are way past the point to go back now and it gets worse with each passing year in every sport.

I rooted for Eddie the Eagle.

I couldn't say where she's coming' from, But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm

When you're swapping out DeGrom for Flexen the day is off to a bad start (pun intended). To your earlier post, the flip-flopping on the MRI makes them look clueless. Congrats to McNeil.

I wonder if its the teams or league policy? I get the targeting aspect but as Shady said, if Oshie isn't coming back that wouldn't matter. You'd think football would be the sport that would be most concerned about targeting.

OK, but why the secrecy? And if they're not going to be specific why bother with upper/lower as the distinction? Not a Caps thing, Isles announced Boychuk is out with a lower body injury. I'd be interested to know why the NHL does this.

What's up with the NHL and it's upper-body and lower-body injury designations? I didn't see what happened to Oshie but would a concussion be considered an upper-body injury?

You're loudmouth baby You better shut up I'm gonna beat you up 'Cause you're a loudmouth babe

I'm your ice cream man, baby, stop me when I'm passin' by See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

A reminder that it's a 162 game season. I can't stand Vargas so I get down on him quickly. With his hat off he looks like a guy that would be in a rock band that I wouldn't like. I'm more tolerant of Familia's sucktitude probably due to a half season of dominance a few years back...but patience is wearing thin. I'm sure I've quoted this before, but a great paraphrase from Bobby V that was more about team than player but still applies: you're never as bad as you look when things are going bad or as good as you look when things are going good.

It will be interesting to see whether they loosen the purse strings. Gio would come cheap. Keuchel or Kimbrel not so much otherwise they'd be playing. For the record, another thing I heard Brodie say the other day was he was sticking with Vargas (for now).

According to Mickey they are being overly cautious in sending him for the MRI. Could just be general fatigue. I'll hold out hope that's all it is. But playing what if, the team looks good enough to compete this year. Supposedly Gio Gonzalez is about to be cut loose by the Yankees and may be an option to replace Vargas. He'd be a no brainer if DeGrom goes down. But would Brodie push the chips to the middle of the table and bring Keuchel in? His moves so far have been with an eye toward winning this year. I guess it's either that or move Lugo into the rotation and backfill his spot as a reliever. Kimbrel anyone?

Ain't got nothin' but love babe, Eight days a week.

Caps, Canes, what does it matter? Either way it's lambs to the slaughter.
