    The one thing that's not clear in that article is whether or not they are still sending out scouts. My guess is that they're using the video to initially narrow down a list of teams/games that they will send someone to. I can see some use for a system like that, but who knows if that's actually what they're doing or not. A better written article would help clear that up.

    You never said it. That's not the point at all. If this kind of thing is happening ridiculously early in a game full of 10 year olds, what you have is an overly competitive jackass coach. That kind of stuff was not happening when I was that age. 10 year olds don't care about baseball strategy enough to be walking power hitters in the 3rd inning.

    It's not like he set the lineup at that very instant when the team was down 1 run with 1 out left. The lineup was set at the start of the game. In those leagues where everyone bats, you have to mix up the batting order to avoid the situation where the game is on the line and you've got your 5 worst players all lined up.

    In the end, the team with the cancer survivor is going to win. Some local professional team will end up inviting them to a game where they'll meet all the players and be given the best seats in the park. They'll remember that day longer than any of the kids from the other team will remember their championship.

    Then there's all that blood in the human body. Have to get rid of that too. Oh, and what percentage of the human body is water?

    We've been using this link over at the Sabres Report board and it breaks down the Sabres payroll/cap situation really well. It may not be perfect, but it's close. http://members.shaw.ca/cdelosreyes/

    Each player's cap hit is their average salary over the life of the contract. A lot of the new contracts they just signed escalate each year. Campbell's is a simple example. He's making 1.25 million this year and 1.75 million next year. That makes his cap hit 1.5 million.

    Sounds like poker over here. At least there's some throwing in darts, which makes it fit in on espn far better than poker does.

    The only real purpose that I see to it is that it cuts back on long contract hold outs like the Peca situation a few years back.

    It's such a complex document. It's hard to keep track of all the rules. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that they are allowed to re-sign him now. Obviously there are some obstacles, but in theory, I team could reject the arbitration results in order to work around that rule where they can't renegotiate/extend the contract until January.

    I just did a quick look through the CBA and there is nothing about this, so I guess I was thinking about MLB. The one interesting thing I did read is that the teams are only allowed to walk away from a certain number of contracts. It really had no effect on the Sabres, but since they had 3 contracts awarded in arbitration, they could only walk away from two of them at most.

    I'm sure dave will chime in, but I'm pretty sure they are not allowed to re-sign him.

    Well it's still better than poker, darts, or paintball.

    I hated the ending of last season, but at least we'll get to see that resolved before the show takes it's long World Series break.

    What the hell is the point of this? Does reebok expect fans to go out and buy ref jerseys now too?

    I would like to see this smiley. I think the pirate is probably the closest thing we have right now.

    And it's important to note that the new arm is even more powerful than the old one.

    I live less than a mile away from one of their locations and I haven't even been there since hockey season. I know, I'm pathetic. You know what, screw it and go to Legal Seafoods. My roommate is a waiter there. By going their, you can partially fund my NHL Center Ice Package this year.

    What, are you one of those people looking for nipples on the bat suit?

    I'm looking forward to seeing the true comic book version of the joker. Jack was awesome on the role, but that wasn't what the Joker is supposed to be like. Less comedy and more insane, pointless killings will make me happy. I have no idea if Ledger can pull off this role though.

    I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I've heard from a few people that the MGH cafeteria is supposed to be great. People stop in if they just happen to be in the area, yet for some reason, I've never been there even though I work for MGH.

    Granted, it wasn't as big of a game, but I loved the shorty he scored against Atlanta earlier in the year. The play where Kovalchuk took his time skating down the puck in front of his own net.

    I need to watch that movie again sometime because I don't remember that at all.
  24. shrader
    Ahhh, ok. I never even thought about 58. I think he'd gladly settle for a 59, but it looks like that's not going to happen. Still, that front 9 is video game quality.

    Actually, if that link is up to date, he only needs 3 birdies. Par is 70 and he's 8 under.
