It's nice when the injuries excuse runs out to be able to latch on to the personal-issues angle.

The Subway Series was in 2000. How embarrassed you must be.

If Obama wins the pool, the Fed will just give the money to Goldman Sachs.

Adjust Your Life Accordingly.

@Alligator Arms: @Kid Canada: Well, I've been watching the Leafs for 28 years and I have no idea who Nathan Perrott is.

Shoh, eizeh gol!

I feel like everyone's missing an important angle here. If he turns out to be just as disruptive as always and the offense doesn't improve, doesn't that finally get Dick Jauron fired, at least? Win-win in my books.

Remember, Deadline Day is all about quantity of trades. Every deal is important in its own way.

@meatbat: Oh, I'm not with you on that at all. The problem is he's totally over-estimating himself. He thinks he's worth $2.5M per season, and he thinks that's a hometown discount. He needs to know he's a legit third-line center, second-line on a good day, and what the Leafs are offering him is exactly what he's worth.

@RootingForTheMeteor: Totally unattached. Burke says he wants "a minimum of a first-round pick, a guy that can play on our team right now and a top prospect." [www.thestar.com]

All I want for Hockey Hanukkah is for the Leafs and my hometown boy Moore to agree on a contract. It'd be a shame to have to trade him away for a 2nd round pick.

We don't need Simmons to take shots at Skip Bayless; we already know what a putz that guy is. He should focus more on identifying and banishing guests who interrupt him every two minutes. This McHale guy was terrible, almost as bad as Aaron Schatz.

The real story here is that Jays rotation-savior Brett Cecil gave up a homerun to the first batter he faced. And it wasn't exactly Texiera.

Hey Dash, I hear Claude Lemieux doesn't think the auto bailout is a good idea and furthermore thinks GM and Chrysler only have themselves to blame. Isn't that super-annoying??!!

That's some stifling defense on the in-bounds pass, there.

Scored four touchdowns in a game.

Juan Guzman. There's a name I haven't thought about in a while.

Ya manyakim.

I'll save you the suspense: he doesn't score.

Roider.
