  1. Actually that is a new defensive formation that Riley is putting in to try to hold teams to less than 50 points.
  2. If you're looking for some pork spare ribs for that big Passover dinner, Foodmaster has them for a really good price.
  3. And after we both said this, they evened the series by winning in Boston last night.
  4. Toronto wasn't even competitive in game 1 after the first period. I could maybe see it if they were coming out of a seven game series, but this was the first game of the playoffs.
  5. The whole thing is incredibly disorganized. As far as team name, logo, etc. is concerned, this group was seeking an expansion team. They can't be totally in the dark - can they?
  6. My money's on Toronto, although the Bruins got bounced by Florida a year ago.
  7. I remember when he was incarcerated in Nevada. When he came through intake, his medical file disappeared for a couple of days. It later turned up in an unconventional place, and whoever had gone through it obviously had no idea where documents were supposed to be filed in a medical chart. Everything that he had signed had been replaced with copies, and the originals were taken. I had occasion to go to High Desert State Prison while he was there for intake (I wasn't working there at the time), and a television reporter in the parking lot shoved a microphone in my face. I told him that he had to talk to the Public Information Officer. From High Desert State Prison, he was sent to Lovelock Correctional Center. Lovelock was chosen because it was a good distance away from the Las Vegas and Reno media markets. Even so, somehow word leaked out when he was being released, and media descended on the small Pershing County town (I have been there, and it is pretty remote). The Director of Nursing there told me that the media in the immediate area were eating up so much bandwidth that her staff couldn't get their jobs done because nothing would load on the computer system.
  8. Priorities - although if the house is in SoCal, it may have cost three times as much as the car..
  9. When the chocolate ones catch fire, they burn with a green flame. First hand account. Follow me for more informative gourmet culinary tidbits.
  10. IMO she doesn't even approach cute at this point, let alone hot.
  11. I recently filed a claim with them regarding an item that I never got. Ultimately they ruled against me because the tracking record showed that it was delivered to me - which it wasn't. I'm out $50 for nothing. Their customer service used to be at least decent. This makes me never want to buy anything on there again. It should be clear to them from my transactional history as both a buyer and seller that I am not in the habit of requesting refunds.
  12. They aren't rumors. This comes straight from the NHL office.
  13. If they can afford $68 million + for the land auction and billions for development of the site, why on Earth did they not pay the rent in Glendale? None of it makes any sense. Just a week ago, ownership publicized grandiose plans for a sports/entertainment/commercial district in Scottsdale, complete with renderings.
  14. ESPN and others are reporting that Arizona Coyotes players have been informed of an imminent relocation of the team to Salt Lake City. A team trip to SLC has been scheduled immediately after the Coyotes' final home game on April 17. Word is that the Coyotes name and logo are being left in Arizona, and the current team ownership is being given five years to complete significant steps toward overcoming previous obstacles (including a permanent arena), which would allow the Coyotes to return, this time as an expansion franchise. What a total freaking mess.
  15. If he does, watch your wallets, boys. One thing that likely contributed heavily to this was the language barrier. Ippei speaks English and Ohtani doesn't - at least not a lot. This explains Ippei's access to Ohtani's bank account, since he almost certainly helped him set it up. He was also able to prohibit access to bank data by accountants, who would have caught what was going on pretty quickly.
  16. Seen on social media a couple of days ago: "I have had a blood alcohol level higher than Rendon's batting average."
  17. And fine work they do there. This was sent to me by a friend who is a professor at Drake University.
  18. We have a pretty good idea of what we still have in the minors, because almost all of them have been called up at one time or another. Injuries have been a huge deal this season. At one point we had eight starters out, most for a significant period of time.
  19. I wouldn't count on it. This is a place where free agents want to play. The team also stockpiled draft picks, so players from the minors being dealt hasn't been that big of a deal.
