I have Marte in rotisserie. Holding onto him for now as I have Zobrist eligible in LF.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVfZJFNYF0s The grunts and groans at a tennis match usually come from the court. Frances Tiafoe and Mitchell Krueger were in the midst of a Sarasota Open match when the distinctive sounds — one might even call it a racket — of a couple enjoying themselves began floati...

first time 4 out of 4 though!

in 1980 it was 4 out of 6 and in 1985 it was 4 out of 8. Yes they used to play all 8 games of the first round on the same day. It was like march madness!

That's the Elliott that the Sharks saw in the playoffs last year.

Yep

We need a quick goal to win it, because I doubt Elliott can make 2 more saves.

you guys are trying to make the sport fair. Soccer thrives on it being unfair.

degenerasian

Soccer thrives on this stuff though. Outside the Western World being devious and conning the ref are achievements celebrated in the game. How else do we expect little teams to beat big teams if the rules were the same for both? That dive got Ross County a point against mighty Celtic. Little Uruguay...

I'd rather listen about them chasing their tail over Banksy or Guccifer or Anonymous or another murder investigation like Adnan's. But that? Seems like a hard pass.

nevermind, that's a really old story from March 2016. so definitely made up.

Barry Hearn is England's Don King. Promoted snooker and darts to the popularity they are now.

He should just buy the team back.

how did I get into 4 games? Do I have a relief appearance? and if so was the manager drunk?

So it turns out my dad knows a couple guys who know Dr. Dao They say he's a good doctor but very arrogant and rough around the edges. From what they know, the problem stemmed when Dr. Dao already accepted the $800 and was about to get off the plane. Until he discovered that the next flight wasn't un...

If white men no longer had the vote, the progressive cause would be strengthened.

I guess all the work you guys have done has come to nothing.

degenerasian

Just going to wholeheartedly disagree with you. Not only did United do something really shitty, but they broke their own agreement (thereby breaking FAA regulations/law.) Most of the reporting talked about how United had "the right" to take him off the plane because it was oversold. That'...

degenerasian

Naked Capitalism with a pretty good take on how United fucked up, and how the media failed to do its job in reporting what happened. I don't know. The media reporting it wrong made it more outrageous and got more eyeballs in today's instant social media world. This made United backtrack and apologi...

there should be an afternoon game tomorrow, so we don't have to be zombies.

Probably STL-MIN

A good opening night all around.

Sharks have Jones and Burns. In fact I really like the Sharks defense of Burns, Vlasic, Martin and Dillon. Schelmko is pretty dynamic too.
Pavelski, Marleau, Ward.. so much experience.

Oilers have no goalie and no defense. I think Talbot is on fumes. 73 starts this year!

I mean, their stock has already gone down over a quarter of a billion dollars. There should be some other backup plan available short of flying them private. In point of fact, UAL closed at $70.88 on Friday. They closed at $70.71 on Tuesday. Lots of companies with no news at all did worse than that...

There's been talk of building a high speed rail link between Toronto - Montreal - Quebec City - Ottawa for as long as I can remember. Money, bureaucracy and lack of political will has kept it from becoming a reality. Never been on Amtrak, but Via Rail in this part of the country does a great job of...

I'm sure the fans who paid for actual seats will appreciate having their concourse jammed up and extra long concession/bathroom waits. ...do not include a seat or a view of the ice surface. Right, because the fans who paid $80 to get into the door aren't going to gravitate towards any views of the i...

degenerasian

Any time you guys want to talk about investing in high speed regional rail, by the way. At approximately 300 miles, you're looking at a 2-3 hour ride, downtown to downtown. You can stand up, walk around, drink in the bar car, pee whenever you want, whatever suits you. I have never understood why th...

In Asia they will expect better service and will pay more for it. No exceptions. And that's not just on Asian Airlines. A friend of mine once told me he took United from San Francisco to Tokyo and the flight was very good as United had to match Japanese airline standards. Or else the Japanese just w...

it is easier to fill out a bracket.

but what's the point when your sport is on NBCSN.

degenerasian

Look, they're a goddamn airline, they can offer more than $800 if needed. Right, and its not even really $800 unless its used for an $800 seat on an otherwise sold out flight. I'm sure the real "cost" to United averages out to a fraction of that. I've never gotten bumped, or got one of th...

Degen, if you went to a hotel or a restaurant and got told the reservation you booked two months ago had been cancelled because they had less no-shows than usual, would you just take it because "hey, they want to ensure a full house"? Most people would be pretty f'ing pissed, and that ign...

Can someone explain to me like a 5 year old why the 2nd and 3rd best teams play each other or the 6th and 8th best teams play each other? NHL moved to top 3 in each division on either side of the conference bracket, with the #1 overall in the conference team playing the 2nd WC team. Essentially, it...

degenerasian

To the greater scenario in an ideal sense, United shouldn't pack the cattle car to the gills. An amount of seats should be there "in case shit happens" - like a last second crew needing to board to facilitate travel for others. And if more than that amount is needed, it should be outlined...

degenerasian

the manager just can't offer whatever, $800 is probably the max.

If Assad is removed the big question is will the new government be a US or Russian puppet?
