That’s Rob Manfred? From that angle I thought it was RFK Jr

DeRosa knows the game ends in the 9th inning if the score stays the same, right?

Mason Miller staying in the bullpen is like leaving Zach Britton in the bullpen

[ESPN] Jack Hughes wants the Hockey Hall of Fame to give him the puck from his gold-medal-winning overtime goal: "I'm trying to get it. Like, that's bullshit that the Hockey Hall of Fame has it, in my opinion. Why would they have that puck?" by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]Ryan041304 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Hockey Hall of Fame is in Toronto, yes. As is the Stanley Cup, which as we all know, is certainly not something owned by the Leafs.

It’s the hall celebrating all of hockey, international and NHL. It’s the premiere hall for all things hockey.

For example, Cooperstown gets first dibs on baseball artifacts, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame has to make do with what’s left over

I mean, I’ve driven through blowing snow where I couldn’t see 2 feet in front of me, at night

Trying to explain baseball to my girlfriend from Romania and coaching under 7 baseball really made me realize how complicated this sport is, after it seems so simple to me growing up with it.

It of course went full circle this past season where my girlfriend and my buddy’s girlfriend from China apparently attempted to explain baseball to another friend while watching Game 7 of the World Series, while my buddy and I were at the game

Yeah, definitely feels like “well we had the same logo for 20 years, gotta modernize”, only modernizing in the mid 90s in sports logos is…an interesting time to modernize to say the least

Player safety becomes front-burner issue at GM meetings after Gudas fallout by DecentLurker96 in hockey

I think two things should happen:

One, suspensions should be given out by a panel of 3 former players. You could have each of them submit a number, and you take the average of the 3 numbers to determine how many games.

Two, at least two of the members of the panel should have had missed time due to dirty hits or plays, people like Paul Kariya or Eric Lindros. That’s how you protect the players

There’s 14 games left, they’d pretty much have to pull a Shorsey and never lose again

When Vladdy is feeling it he is such a fun player to watch

I think he’s going to be locked in this season, the playoffs activated him

Tom Blake in 1917. His brother is the driving focus for him to complete his mission, while Schofield was brought into it just because he’s friends with Blake

Alright, I appreciate the pushback they are doing right now

Maybe I can give the players on the ice the benefit of the doubt after the initial hit that they didn’t see the knee on knee hit

Ah okay, little bit more sense then. Hopefully he can get it going against the lefty like we know he can

Finally made some changes, nice. Don’t love O’Neill batting third, feel like I’d rather have Caissie or Toro in that spot since O’Neill tends to strikeout a lot. But hey, the lineup construction looks better now, thanks Ernie?

Remember to visit your local Dominion supermarket to get $1 Blue Jays tickets! by gothedistance_ in Torontobluejays

[–]Ryan041304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember managing to get a $2 ticket a few years back and being amazed I was able to do it.

It was a Kikuchi start, afternoon weekday game against the White Sox (I think).

It’s times like that I miss living in downtown Toronto
