  1. Well, the Rockies have a 71 OPS+ as a team this season, so now they have something to aspire to.

    No, but a friend of mine lives next door to Mike McCready. Here's his back deck:
  3. The name change had a pretty incredible positive impact on the school. I actually chaired a faculty hiring committee the year before the change and another one the year of the change. The difference in the applicant pool (both quantity and quality) from one year to the next was ridiculous. Alums who are still bitching about the name change are the same people who bitch about anything being changed. (Except "Gulf of Mexico.")
  4. Wait until you hear who was picked 1st...
  5. All these big companies, they write off everything.
  6. I went back and looked at it, and he took a cross-ice pass from Necas, skated toward the goal, threw a centering pass that bounced off a bunch of Stars and went into the net. I don't always agree with how they award assists, but that seems like the way they do it would credit Necas.
  7. Yeah, Trump desperately wanted to buy into the NFL but no one wanted him, so he settled for trying to come in the back door with a USFL-NFL merger. Jeff Perlman's book on this is awesome.
  8. I just went back and looked -- the McKinnon "own goal" in game 6 is credited as unassisted, but the Petro goal yesterday still has two assists attached to it (Mikko, Steel). Regardless, crying about a goal review in a 5-2 game is what loser teams do; if the roles were reversed, there is no way that Pete would be spending any time on this.
  9. Army Nat Guard. Those are the guys that Kristie Noem sent to Texas to "help" with the border a couple of years ago.
  10. But I thought that we were supposed to learn to live without cheap shit from China?
  11. You'd think that would wipe out the assists on the play, but it hasn't.
  12. Jeez, hockey's over for the day and it's still light out. What am I supposed to do?
  13. The Rockies cannot hire anyone from outside the organization, so it will be promoting Hurdle or bringing back Walt Weiss.
  14. "Tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection." Seems like that would be something my doctor tells me.
  15. Such a dumbfuck...
  16. He did pay for all the beer.
