What you can POSSIBLE do is access ESPN’s pitch by pitch stream and have the page refresh itself every 30 seconds or so. I would include a link but they are not up just yet. As soon as they are, I would be happy to include a link.

I don't know if anybody thought I was serious when I implied that these next games were important.

If you didn’t, consider that Toronto could very well be 8 games back of the division and 5.5 games back of the wildcard with as many as 8 teams in front of them by the end of today. Talk about being railroaded out of contention, that’s tied for the wildcard to buried in the course of 9 days.

So in 77 PA against the lefties that play against him (probably the ebst lefties), he has done worse so far this year. So? His minor league numbers don’t have reverse splits. It’s a mirage created by SSS.

Well, it took all of 15 minutes for the first real signing of July 1, and it’s a bit of a surprise. The Lightning have inked Mattias Ohlund to a deal that will see the veteran Swede likely suit up alongside his young countryman Victor Hedman and nurture the No. 2 overall pick through his early years. No word on the term yet, but I’ll have it when it’s available.

Now everyone is going to say “I told you so” about BJ doing better when they wanted him sent to the cotton fields two months ago. Especially TBD. I hate it.

See, when I see things like that, I can't help but think to myself that the defense says, "wait, you don't think you need us? Well fuck offensive support."

Please score runs for Shields. Give him 3. You gave the other guys 3 runs. He wants 3 runs. It’s only fair.

I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.

As bad as our defense was last year

We need other forwards that actually deserve to be in the NHL. If you can’t score, pass, skate, forecheck, backcheck, or mark in your zone, what good are you?
