- I have no idea how Pittsburgh can hope to knock off Detroit after opening the Stanley Cup final with two losses in Motown.
- It probably wouldn't hurt if Bill Guerin could convert a couple of those sweet passes Sidney Crosby is sending his way.
- Henrik Zetterberg is doing a masterful job of shutting down Evgeni Malkin. Malkin's attempted beat down of Zetterberg near the end of game two was just sad.
- I was very surprised when the Moose Jaw Warriors made Chad Lang their General Manager in 2004. Now it's Jeff Truitt's turn to deal with the brilliant hockey minds on the Warriors' Board of Directors. Good luck with that!
- Lang's a good guy. I assume he'll land on his feet somewhere in the WHL.
- Now the important stuff: Congrats to the J-Man for clubbing his first home run of the season yesterday afternoon! The Jakester followed that up with a triple his next at-bat, and earned the save on the mound. Way to go, kiddo!
- There's only four games left in the regular season, and the Minor A Twins are still undefeated. Great job kids! And coaches!
- On the flip side, the coach of the Minor A Tigers is a complete butthead. Screaming at teenage umpires? Way to set an example for the kids, you putz.
- Anyone who gets that agitated about minor sports should just stay the hell away from the diamond, rink, court, etc.
- Ever notice that the worst writers are the people who write the most? It's as if they think illiteracy doesn't count on the internet.
- Oh well, I guess life would be pretty dull if we didn't have any lower life forms roaming around. I mean, who else would keep the mullet alive? Or buy Camaros? I'm just sayin'.

Someone should do an internet survey to find out just how much literacy/illiteracy affects the impact of online writing. My hypothesis would be that illiterate posters are less likely to be taken seriously than those who use good grammar and spelling.
Oh, and congrats to the J-man! Good job!
So the coach of the Major A Twins also displayed Major "Putzlike" qualities in our game at Pilot Butte last week.
Calling TIME to storm over to his dugout without saying anything, storming back to go INSIDE the home teams dugout, only to start keeping pitch count of his own pitcher after 2 innings had been played.
Also had a few poor comments to the Umpires (14 yr olds) about how they were not calling strike or outs loud enough.
The poor kids on his team have no chance to succeed as they are constantly being yelled at.
I felt bad that this was my first ever ball game that I coached, and we beat them handily.
That's the type of behaviour I'm talking about, exactly. Our putz capped off his tirade by refusing to admit his behaviour was wrong when told so (on the field) by the director of the atom division.
It takes a special kind of mind to rationalize screaming at kids and being a general dick at a youth baseball game.
