BJ Ryan has blown 6 of 10 save opportunities against the Yankees...nevermind the horrible line, word is that even with a Big Brown win today, Vegas will still make money because people are going to keep their smaller plays as souveniers of a Triple Crown winner...as much as I can see why the 2-3-2 format makes sense, I don't understand why the NBA waits 'til the finals to go that route. A Lakers win tomorrow and this series could be done in 5...going to use the lines from Pinnacle and start with a hypothetical $500 and wager each game on the Money Line. Today, I've got the Czech's to win (+190) though something tells me the draw could well come in, and Portugal (-140), though I worry about their lack of punch up front...Floyd "Money" Mayweather is taking his perfect 39-0 record and going home. Personally, I find this real hard to believe, especially when Oscar de la Hoya is still out there for one last go-round. Negotiating ploy? Could be...would you believe the JP Ricciardi made a trade with the Oakland A's? Settle, Jays Fan, it isn't significant...after some financial and legal issues, Nashville Preds owner Boots Del Biaggio's stake may be up for sale. Jim Balsillie, pick up the BlackBerry Bold and start calling and save this end of the country by dropping a team in to replace the Leafs as the local side. Please. K-Dub preferred. Balsillie's lawyer told Prime Time Sports there "isn't a scintilla of chance" that the NHL board would approve a move to Canada. Wonder how the NHLPA feels about that, given how much Canadian clubs are driving revenues?...Matt Hughes vs. Thiago Alves headline a pretty bland looking UFC card tonight...have a great day.

i don't have the numbers to back it, but it seems BJ never goes 1-2-3. if you walk a guy or two or give up a hit or two and eventually get the save, i don't think you're being a great closer. cuz then you're riding some luck.
how bout the jays last night giving up six in the eighth to lose 6-5!?
+1 on the Balsillie bringing the Preds to the 519 idea. I think it's time for the NHL to start fishing and stop cutting bait when it comes to Canadian cities, given that their own studies show how much the league is dependent upon Canadian revnues.
i agree BK, but i think bettman agreeing to do so will be admittance that he's fucked up. he strikes me as pretty stubborn, so it'll take way more work than it should.
Yeah, I'm kind of operating on the working assumption that "common sense" and "Gary Bettman" aren't mutually exclusive categories. It's a fatal flaw, of course, as far as guessing the future goes - but really, is the league's future of American broadcast expansion that dependent upon the Nashville franchise being in the US?
On the subject of the NHL...

I think a pathological liar would be less stubborn than Bettman and more likely to admit that maybe the Nashvilles of the NHL were a bad idea. Not sure why he'd be sweating it that much, he's got a contract for the next half dozen years I believe and his job should be about growing the game, not seeing it move along taking one step ahead and another back.
Armed with the reports about revenues being driven by Canadian squads, I'm shocked Paul Kelly and the PA aren't going apeshit and saying "we need another Canadian team, duh".
Ultimately, staying in Nashville/Florida/Tampa is costing the players money and not good for the "partnership".
I'm guessing Bettman thinks it's all about the never-gonna-happen major TV deal on NBC/ESPN but other sports have that and manage who gets on, namely the big market/big name squads mostly...and the smaller ones share in that money even without the exposure, which Nashville would never get unless they landed a Crosby/Ovechkin type or were the top team. That it would be Hamilton/KW/Quebec over Nashville is a good thing, because they'd pack a rink at least. Nashville? Not so much.
Didn't realize the Jays bullie brought out that kind of gas can and blue tips. Marcum must be SOUR.
One other thing that does not bode well for the Balsillie bid is that he does not have the vote of confidence from the old boys club (owners). Balsillie did not exactly go through the proper channels on the last few go arounds. To think, KW had a shot at the most talent loaded franchise in the league.
Boston wins tomorrow and I think it's over. They'll grab game 4 In L.A and that's it. However that's just the way I see it..yes I hate the inconsistency as well.
Those close to the sport believe Money May was truthful this time. Could be the same episode we've seen 100x before from him but I think he may be serious.
UFC...I think I'll pass for Euros
Jays keep blowing it. Any other gm in the world would have at least thought about booting Gibby...but his friend JP is somewhere in Boston right now enjoying the sun.
135 minutes of soccer played, one goal total.
not good.
yf, it took me like 10 minutes to figure out what you were referring to. haha. no doubt. that shit's weak. though for some reason i find her equally-dumb co-star audrina patridge extremely hot.
(well, hotter before the fake boobs.)
What the devil are you two on about?

Another Hills fan...Audrina is alright but I'd rather bang Lauren...though Audrina's boyfriend is pretty much my role model...what a guy.
Mk, you'd have to look deep in the Hot Chicks thread at RPB. Someone posted some pics of Heidi Montag and GBV told them that it was plain wrong..then they told GBV to start a hot guys thread.
i'm not a hills fan in the slightest, and more annoying than the show is all the "after-show" bs with those annoying mtv wannabees.
audrina is hot as eff though.
she dropped a few notches with the boob job and loses points for being dumb as a brick, but purely from a photographical standpoint ... hot.
well I used to watch the thing to get laid...17-22 yr old girls think that Hills represents the average relationship :)
Pathetic show but I think Spencer's sis is hotter than Audrina. Audrina's self esteem takes a beating every episode.
