Staying true to form, The Hawk kept flapping his wings as he tried to chase down Swoop.  The Hawk will never die, but he can’t cover for shit.

Feeling a little bad for Quebec. Canada should have more hockey teams.

Nice! I say their first three games are played against the Canadiens to see who really won the 1919 Stanley Cup. Influenza be damned!

Honestly, MLB really should try to add a third team in NY or another into LA or an AL team into Philly or a NL team into Boston. All of those markets could easily absorb another team.

I’m a Boston-born new Yorker who has supported the Mets since 2009, and I’ve come here to defend my hometown against this “blowing” charge.

You... you do know that they are still going to vote against all of these judges, right? And they will still be able to enter whatever they want in the record regarding these judges, right?

Unlike the people who frequent these boards, most people don’t give a fuck about politics in the day to day. And they aren’t going…

I’m with you, Tom. Fuck Joe McDonald, and fuck the new PawSox ownership.

So what you’re saying is that Rhode Island’s offer to the PawSox was a bad deal for taxpayers, but another city’s offer was even Worcester?
