Toe

I thought they reported his injury as just a forearm strain a few days ago? Nevermind, the article is up on ESPN explaining his injury. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5502866 The end of the article gives you some hope, since they mention Tim Hudson, Francisco Liriano, and Chris Carpenter as examples of how Tommy John surgery is not a death sentence. Still, this will deprive Strasburg of the opportunity to gain experience and it really hurts the Nationals. The only time they saw their attendance surge was when Strasburg was on the mound.

Are the Leafs jerseys in the game the new style?

Any of their videos involving Katie Couric is awesome.

I think Toronto will be greatly improved. Just dumping Toskala is a huge boost for the team. If the team plays like they did after the Phaneuf trade, then this team will be playoff bound. They are thin up front, but very deep defensively and should get good goaltending from the tandem of Giggy and Gustavsson. One big issue is the special teams. The addition of Versteeg and Armstrong, and a full season of Komisarek and Phaneuf, should help the penalty kill improve. I think Toronto will finish somewhere between 6th and 10th.

Actually, that story first broke on Pension Plan Puppets a few days ago. It looks like someone at the Sun may have ripped off that article, so there is a big discussion going on about plagiarism and how major media treats bloggers and the internet.

I got the Wings and the Guelph Storm. For players, I got Hall and Seguin up front. I was really excited to get Tyler Myers and Duncan Keith as my part of my defence.

I'm excited because the addition of the CHL to the game will make drafting in Franchise mode more fun. The demo for the Ultimate Team mode was fun. It is better in NHL then it is in Madden.

I agree that the Lions will be in the bottom this year, but at least they are in a much better position now. Finally, there is some hope and optimism with that franchise.

If you go to ESPN.com right now, you can see the ugly results of that play.

It' hurts them if Kaberle doesn't re-sign with Toronto or bring them to the cup. They will then lose Kaberle for absolutely nothing. Sometimes you need to settle for what you can get. Nah, we Leafs fans are used to losing our best players for absolutely nothing.

I think Ryan Clowe was someone Burke wanted, but he was probably pushing for Clowe and a pick. The Sharks came back with Derek Joslin and a pick, but Burke wants people that can play now.

Unless he has some odd fascination with the city of Toronto and enjoys being beat up by the Toronto media... I think we will be seeing Kaberle play less minutes even strength this season, and maybe he will double shift on the powerplay now. They need to focus more on creating traffic and opening up a point shot. Moving the puck to Kessel on the boards just seems to stall out any momentum. I expect Versteeg to get plenty of powerplay time, and hopefully Dion can start scoring. He shot the puck a ton in the last 30 games or so, but he only scored at the end of the season.

Looks like Kaberle is going to be a Leaf for this season. I did want to see him moved, but I'm okay with him staying. No other defender on the team can pass like he can.

Today is the last day for Kaberle to be moved. His NTC kicks back in at midnight.

Wow. The Expendables is just so much kick ass. I feel like I've taken steroids I am so pumped from watching it. Terry Crews with the automatic shotgun stole the show for me. I want to go and see that movie again and again.

I don't think's saying that Tebow is on the Bills, I think he means that his stats are better than all the QBs the Bills have. Bingo.

I'm not American and I got it. Tebow isn't great, but he is good enough to start for the Bills. I think that shows how awful the Bills are more then how good Tebow is.

Weren't the Blackhawks used in the early days by the Red Wings to hold players until they needed them? I'm pretty sure they were owned by the same people. I believe Jack Adams traded Ted Lindsay to the Hawks to punish him for trying to form a player's union. I would think that Montreal clearly is the most storied franchise, but after them it has to be Toronto. When the league was growing, Toronto was the team kids all across Canada grew up with on the radio. I do agree that they have never had that #1 player in the league, but a lot of teams can say the same thing. Until expansion, the best player in the NHL was almost always on Montreal or named Orr. I'd say, out of the Original Six, Chicago is the weakest. All six teams have a lot to be proud of though, so I think this is a dumb thing to be arguing about. Best overall Leaf? To me, it will always be Mats Sundin, but that is because I'm biased to the modern era. People forget that the Leafs did have a lot of playoff success under Mats, but they just missed getting to the final level.

The elbow Silva landed from the bottom that cut Sonnen above the eye was absolutely nasty.

Even without the no-hitter, Morrow absolutely destroyed the Rays. 17 strikeouts is an amazing feat. Yesterday, Arencibia has his debut and crushes the ball. Today, Morrow just dominates on the mound. This Jays team is pretty good.

Toskala was terrible. Having a full season of Giggy and Gustavvson will be a huge improvement.

It was a good card overall with a fantastic main event. I hated the Fitch fight. Dos Santos was amazing.

During the entire fight, we were talking about how Sonnen continued to leave himself wide open to a submission. Of course, by the 5th round I thought Anderson was just too worn down to catch him.

If a company put some real assets into developing that, it would be very cool. Too bad the arcades are dead in North America, and even if they were that would take up way too much space. Still, it is a very interesting concept for sure.
