Don't think Rask qualifies as a rookie. Seems the Canucks have moved Samuelson on to the Sedins' line. I'm concerned; Kings couldn't check that line last night for beans in the third period. Had that game and let it get away, never a good sign. And generally, while officials make bad calls your penalty kill has to be up to the task of killing off the minor.

Bust out the 2 Live Crew.

Right, because your explanation of VC ripping off some dude for 10 LPs makes more sense. And I love the "stories" thing with no actually proof, just hearsay.

That seems REALLY weird since I never asked for a payment of any kind. I just got them in the mail every month, no problem. And I've emailed Virgil and have gotten nothing when I emailed a basic "yo, what up?" kind of message. Email isn't exactly reliable or dependable. Did they call and actually talk to someone? If not, their bad as much as anyone's. My experience may not be the norm but Virgil has no incentive to keep me happy. I probably allow him to simply break even. I make him no money whatsoever. It seems totally illogical he'd bend over backward to make my payments and blow off everyone else. Did this random German label not think maybe Virgil had no intention of sending releases back because he warehoused everything? Maybe the releases hadn't sold so he was just keeping them in inventory? It seems more likely than him being a conniving bastard. After all, if you're selling a lot of someone's stuff you want more of it. You don't want to burn a bridge.

Which is why he stopped paying labels for the records he distros, right? RESPECT He made it abundantly clear what the situation was and he paid FAR better than any other distro I've worked with before VC ran it to trouble. You're way off base.

been to oakland, its nicer than the bronx. The area, maybe, but not the Stadium.

You ever been to Oakland? That place is a dump. (And you sound like a Republican)

You always double off Fisher for sure but then do you double Gasol? If so then do you leave Bynum? If so then Bynum has an even easier time with the bigs of OKC either rotating to him or one-on-one. OKC will be a great team soon, just not yet. They'll take their lumps and come back next year better, or at least they should. Durant should keep getting better for 5-7 years.

moreso needs a salary floor Says the dude who roots for the team with the payroll of 8-10 third world countries, combined. MLB needs a hard-cap and a almost inevitably every cap I've seen comes with a floor for spending.

Probably, which makes me believe, like I've said before, the MLB needs an overhaul.

I could enjoy the Pens 1000% more if Cooke wasn't a Pen.

Sorry man. I didn't know that my picture of Kumar with pot plants was offensive.

You're just full of tact and taste.

That's unrealistic to expect. Burnett could continue to be good but likely he won't, based on his previous efforts. Pettite is old. CC should be good but outside of that I wouldn't expect the Yankee pitching to dominate anyone. And I would also assume your entire line-up isn't going to smoke for long periods. But enjoy it while it lasts, fo shizzle.

He doesn't really have to try and I think his voice sounds much better with even more character than he had prior. I almost feel like he took some singing lessons at some point.

That game last night at Staples Center was intense. Its the first game I've been to in a long while. Wednesday's game 3 is huge, HUGE. If the Kings can win, going back to Van City with a 3-1 lead would be the best possible outcome of the first four games. I'd be ecstatic.

Pull that god damn picture down dude. Seriously.

I'll third the use of Kayak. Its very nice to have some trending data to go along with your price.

I think people need to come to grips with this band never producing an album that sounds like Sink or Swim.

Jesus christ, you'll have paid off your mortgage in 7 years! That's insane. Mine's a 30-year loan and barring an extremely rich relative dying and hooking me up,p I don't see that getting shaved down very much. You wouldn't imagine how much of an impact tossing an extra $500 at your payment every month.

There's a ton of short dudes who are massive douchebags so I don't think its something blow off. But its just my opinion, not worth the paper its printed.

That might be generous. I think he's about 5' 2-3" or so. Because I'm taller than he is and I'm a short bastard at about 5'5". He's a cool, cool dude though. Saw him when Gaslight played a tiny place in Orange County a few months back and he stood around outside the bus with a receiving line just shooting the shit with people. He's forever got my gratitude and respect for doing that. My wife and I got to talk to him for about 5 minutes and he was super nice, respectful, just a great dude best I can tell. None of the lyrics seem forced to me at all.

Just got home from that Sox/Rays "Lackey takes one in the Face on Pats Day" game. I dont know what is going on. Ortiz too old? Lowell should hit more? The people the Sox signed not as good as on paper? Thought the team was better than this. Oh well, off to the Bruins..Will finish this discussion in the other board. Looks like, to me, Ortiz may have benefited a good amount from the 'roids, even if it was just confidence. Beltre should be better than Lowell, I bet Beltre gets better when the weather gets warmer. No doubt the Sox should try to get a bat. Adrian Gonzalez makes sense but do the Sox have enough youth to get him?

Didn't Chelios kick one in a few years ago?

Labels are really going to have to start release these things when they're ready instead of sitting on the release. At least release it digitally as early as possible.
