Monday, May 19th, 2008 - Mechanical vs. Chemical - is there a difference?


Easy for Elvis Stojko to say Canadian Olympians should boycott the Beijing games this summer. Wonder if he'd feel the same way if his turn was just coming up?...and about double amputee Oscar Pistorius, from South Africa, who will be allowed to attempt to qualify for the Olympics. Now, the P.C. Police won't like this, but if he's got a "mechanical" advantage like some scientists say, then how is that allowed but a chemical advantage is not?...a two goal lead in the third period was not enough in yesterday's Gold Medal game at the World's. Not to play Monday Morning Quarterback, but what was with Cam Ward starting? Didn't Pascal Leclaire go in the semis?...still, good on Russia for being both the reigning World Hockey champion and reigning Euro Basketball Champ. Had to mention that for the old school RaptorsChat readers...hard to believe that a guy that has won as many games as Marty Turco didn't win his first in Detoilet until this past Saturday, now making him 1-9-2...for all the love people (read: Leafs Fan) shower on Gary Roberts, who might be the most overrated player in Leafs history in my book, his history of injuries and missed games sure gets downplayed if not ignored altogether...some QB's take their offensive lineman out for dinner, buy them watches or other nice gifts. Tom Brady buys his guys Audi Q7's. Wow...word is Mike D'Antoni, the new Knicks coach, is not a big fan of David Lee, Renaldo Balkman or Randolph Morris...Game 7 between the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Hornets tonight will complete the final four picture in the NBA. I'd love to see the Hornets do it to see more of Chris Paul, and even to see Her-Pete advance, but hard to bet against the Spurs in any must-win game...if there is a Monday Night Raw god, Umaga won't appear tonight...have a great Monday.

Gary Roberts doesn't need to be on the ice for the Pens. He gets us wins by sheer willpower.

Gary Roberts has been dead for years. Death is afraid to come get him.

Gary Roberts once ate a rubiks cube...he later pooped it out solved.

Gary Roberts talks about Fight Club.

Continents only drift to get away from Gary Roberts.

Bigfoot didn't believe in Gary Roberts. That was his first mistake.

TB...Gary Roberts knows where you live :)

He'd yank his groin walking up the steps to my house.

I only have two steps.

If there are sports to be discussed, sure seems that way!

I'll bet 80% of the goods Elvis has baught the last year have been made in China... Nice on him to expect athletes who has sacrificed a decade or more on competing at the Olympics to just drop it now because of a slightly tense political situation. Let the athletes deal with performing at a top level and the politicians deal with politics.

Russia did lose out on the European Championships in volleyball played at home in Russia however. Incidentally they played Spain in that final, at the same day and time as the Eurobasket final was played in Spain. Russia won in Spain, Spain won in Russia.

D'Antoni doesn't like Lee, Balkman and Morris... I can't imagine he likes Curry or Randolph and likely not Starbury. Even if he did, that 22 mill expiring is too valuable to be used other ways. Crawford is their most tradable asset, so who's left? Jerome James? Makes you wonder why he accepted the job in the first place.

Actually I don't, haven't got the slightest clue about volleyball... Absolutely terrible at it and never had an interest in it. Just heard about it from some Spanish acquaintances.

Did not heed advice from the mighty TBek's blog and just dropped cash on the Hornets in Game 7.
I'm scared of the Spurs in a must win situation, but figure the Hornets home dominance will continue.
Should be a great game 7. Can't wait for the tipoff.

Go Hornets!
