The post that nobody cares about...
fatmanatee: I’ve been trying to convince BD Gallof (used to write for Hockeybuzz, now has his own gig) that the Isles should trade away Roloson and forget about 2010.  For a short while, Isles fans were optimistic, but right now, we’re in a muck of teams that could land us at the 2nd worst overall team, AND I AM OKAY WITH THIS.  I have this theory that most teams need four years of suck to...

My Team Canada of Man-Crushes
5ivehole: fallenleafs: join me, as I question my manhood going into explicit detail naming my Team Canada Man-Crushes. Hah, I think you can see why I would pose such a statement. Last night, I had no less than four tabs each of Brent Burns and Patrick Sharp open on my browser. Eventually, Google images suggested firemen calendars. Yeah.

My Team Canada of Man-Crushes
With Team Canada set to name it’s Olympic hockey team on December 30th, there’s going to be no shortage of people making their predictions on who’s going to be on Team Canada. Instead of rehashing another list from much more qualified writers, I decided to make my own Team Canada made up of players I have inexplicable love for despite not being household names. Whether they be...

Leafs In Suits! Vs Sabres  →
handsomeman: Though I’m a little concerned Luke Schenn is gradually becoming more orange every time I see him (Luke going guido would shatter me), my early gift has arrived from the always excellent Archi, who is always brimming with haute coutre goodness.

“Boras is the face of what is wrong with the sport of baseball.”
– Matt Holliday Signing Could Instigate Mega-Trade Scenario (via JHeath) Personally, I stopped reading after agreeing with the above sentence. (via rickankielsmustache) ————————————————- I respectfully disagree. Boras is only a candidate for the face of “what is wrong with the sport of baseball”...

Joe Posnanski and the "Force of Nature"
What a remarkably consistent force Roy Halladay has been. Look, just look, at his last two years: • He made 33 starts in 2008, 32 starts in 2009. • His ERA was 2.78 in 2008, 2.79 in 2009. • He threw nine complete games each year — twice leading the league. • He led the league both years in strikeout-to-walk ratio. • His walk rates, strikeout rates and home run rates were almost identical....

It's my goal to see an extra innings game this...
jheath: oswingpercent: sometimesitrains: I’ve never seen one in person. I’ve never seen a walk-off in person either. What. Extra innings are fun. So are walkoffs. The first Cardinals’ game I ever went to was a walk off home run by Ray Lankford against Houston’s rookie closer Billy Wagner in 1995. I still remember watching Billy start instantly walking towards the dugout as soon as the...

MLB Network: “If you look at the back of your baseball card, nothing but Toronto. So what will it be like, what has it been like to put on a new and different jersey?” Roy Halladay: “It’s, uhh, different.” Understated as always. Philadelphia and Halladay, you make strange bedfellows.

Hogtown Heartbreak: Halladay Heads to Historic... →
drew-f: iracane: Shared by Rob Hogtown is the best nickname for Toronto. Nobody can ever accuse Ruben Amaro of being gun shy. A zillion reportstweets have Roy Halladay moving to the Phillies as part of a… Well, we’ll still have Brandon League (and the “Not Yet Fully Assembled” Dustin McGowan) to fall back on. What a massive fall though.
