Twice in 8 seconds the Pittsburgh Penguins scored en route to booting #8 and the Washington Capitals from the playoffs. More and more, you have to view the Penguinos as the team to beat. They've been on fire since bringing in Dan Bylsma to coach, and if they can take care of their own end, you know the goals will be there...Toronto Blue Jays starter Scott Richmond remembered he is Scott Richmond last night and the New York Yankees won 8-2...it took a pair of second half goals, but Manchester United all but sealed up the English Premier League with a 2-1 win at Wigan. The trophy will be at Old Trafford Saturday and all Man U needs is a draw. Consider it done. The idea that United won't bring back Carlos Tevez is absurd. He's a money player who scores when needed. They'd be better off selling the incredibly talented but even more incredibly lazy Dimitar Berbatov and keeping the younger, hungrier workhorse in Tevez...the Minnesota Vikings open organized team activities May 19th and have told Brett Favre he has to be in attendance if he's to play this season. While you'd think that's the deadline, who knows with that clown...here's a Top 10 wrestling injuries, mostly with video. Surprised Brock Lesnar nearly killing himself landing on his head after flipping off the top rope in his last WWE match didn't make the list, but he's well represented regardless...people are funny. ManRam gets suspended for 50 games and suddenly, I've got one guy getting in touch to see if I can swing him a ManRam LA Dodgers jersey...on The Ultimate Fighter last night, Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson faced off in a tennis match. Was scary how two athletic freaks like that can be so bad and uncoordinated at tennis...20,000 in attendance at the Rogmahal last night, on the day the local fish wraps were trumpeting how baseball is back in Toronto? Clearly, they were all wrong. If that's what you're drawing against the Yankees when you're in first, you're in trouble. Maybe it is because Derek Jeter has been out? I kid. That said, looks like Jetes is out for a third straight which if you know Jeter at all, has to mean this injury is more serious than is being let on..America's Next Top Model wasn't Allison? Boo-urns...Toronto FC downed the Montreal Impact 1-0 in their latest Canadian Championship game to go 2-0 before they head to the road. Should've been a load more, says GBVH...back later with your PTP.


Hands down, the MMA Knockout of 2009...around the 38 second mark on this vid.

Or maybe it was because game 7 of the Caps/Pens series was also going?

And speaking od dwindling attendence numbers, where are all the traveling Yankees fans? Maybe they've given up on the season already?

Right, because 20,000 people would've walked up otherwise. Only a Jays fan would be foolish enough to think that 5/6 games out in mid-May was anything to worry about for the Yankees. They've been double digits out far later and still made the playoffs, but a nice attempt on your part.

Toronto FC had 19,872 last night - about 900 shy of a full house for a game most don't value like an MLS competition. What's the excuse there, that TFC fans aren't hockey fans too?

Despite that great Barret goal, I've never seen anyone fuck up such an easy attempt like he did in the second half. Unreal.

TB said...

He's like a deer in headlights when he gets a hint of room. If he scored on even a third of the chances he gets, he'd be playing in the EPL.

YEAH PENS!!! Rando Mango has 'em as the team to beat!! We can't be stopped :)

A draw for your red devils would've been acceptable, ya know.

I can't believe you're not going Saturday!!!!!!!!! Very disappointing TB.

i agree YF.
absolutely, positively unforgivable.
especially on the heels of blowing two gimmies last week. love the guys work ethic but, christ, my patience is wearing thin.

re: jays. lets face facts. the fans are into it when it's "the thing to do."
(opening day, $1 hot dogs etc.)
otherwise, not so much.
if they keep playing well, at some point it might again be the thing to do.
but they're down an average of 6,000 fans a game.
(and that's not from 100,000 to 94,000 or anything.)
picture the blue sea if they had a losing record . . .
