Feel bad for the civil citizens of Vancouver this morning. Not only did they lose the Stanley Cup, but now the silly finger pointing like in the last thread admonishing a whole city for the actions of a segment of morons.
Rioting is stupid. Destruction of public property is stupid. Wagging your finger from across the pond isn’t any better. Good luck with the cleanup Vancouver.

Wagging your finger at other people wagging their fingers is pretty dumb too.
The majority of the people “rioting” were out there just to watch what was happening. But they were still cheering any time someone else broke a store front window.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:21 AM
who wants to hear about a poor forlorn deer that keeps walking into my front yard? She’s been here 20 times in the past three days, looking for her deceased newborn fawn.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:22 AM
A small percentage of idiots converged on the downtown with the sole intention of rioting. No different than the Olympics (shut down quickly) and the G20 in Toronto.
Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada. Safe and clean, I’d move back there in a heartbeat.

Its as if 1990-2007 never happened. Did anyone read the article? It was like a script for a steroid user. One GM called him a 4th outfielder after a few years in the league and suddenly he starts crushing home runs because he was good at math in high school and is a hard worker? Yeah right.

June 16th, 2011 at 9:29 AM
While I appreciate the sadness inherent in that story, I hate deer far too much. I was out walking in my suburban neighborhood last night and a deer practically ran me over. It came running out of a yard, past me, and into oncoming traffic. Car swerved to avoid the deer and, suddenly, I’m faced with possibly dodging a car. Screw those animals.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:30 AM

Loved watching CBC last night after the game. The National was tremendous with their riot coverage then going to bars in Boston and Newfoundland. Gotta love the drunks.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:32 AM
Stewart asked them about it and Parker said that while it was kinda reflective of where they were mentally at the time it was all in fun, they just aren’t sure how to proceed…suppose they could just hit the reset button with Stan but that would feel cheap
June 16th, 2011 at 9:32 AM
People hit home runs before 1990, lots of them in fact…need more evidence than being good at baseball
From a poor country that has a list of MLB players who have used, never hit over 20 home runs in his 5 previous years in the league, bounced around the league without a big contract, nearly every previous player with 50 hr or more had hit more than 30 previously in their career.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:32 AM

This is where your theory falls out of bed. If a guy from a poor country was going to use steroids, he’s so much more likely to have done it to get INTO the league, not 5 years after he makes it.

June 16th, 2011 at 9:37 AM
So I was on the phone for 2 and a half hours last night (ugh… I’m never on the phone…) and missed the last period and a half of the game and the ensuing celebration by Boston/riot that followed. Didn’t see/hear about any of it until I woke up this morning. Damn. Does Luongo get blamed for the millions in property damage too?

On the bright side, Christian Ehrhoff’s -7 for the Finals should assist the Canucks in keeping him as a UFA.

That’s CNN math NDub… twitter told the producers that 1994 was 15 years ago.

Bigger choke job: Luongo or LeBron?
i don’t watch the hockey, but I’ll say the goalie who let in so many goals in the 4 losses.
I’m also going to say that 5 years from now, this year just gets looked at as part of the process for Lebron. Obviously it’s ugly now, but it was this ugly for Dirk 5 years ago too, and everybody took their shots.
Besides, for historical purposes, the Mavs playoff run ended at 16 wins against only 5 losses. They’ll get a favorable look going backwards.
P.S. there’s a good deadspin piece about Dirk, if you love Dirk (mostly I”m talking to menarky)
June 16th, 2011 at 9:39 AM
Maybe it isn’t steroids, but when was the last time a jump like this happened and there was no evidence later of steroids?
Don’t get me wrong though, I’m firmly in the pro-steroids. I’d let everyone use them.

Bigger choke job: Luongo or LeBron?
Luongo certainly wasn’t at his best, but to call it a choke job by him and the rest of the Canucks takes some of the credit away from the Bruins. They held the highest scoring team in the regular season to 8 goals in 7 games. Tim Thomas and the Bruins deserve a lot of credit.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:42 AM
My favorite stat from the Finals has to be the Bruins scored more goals in Game 3 than the Canucks did all series.
The riots overshadow what a historically great performance Timmy Thomas had in the playoffs. Most saves in the postseason, fewest goals allowed in a Final, the Conn Smythe winner (only the 2nd American to win it) and just an all around phenomenal season for the 37 year old. Congrats to Thomas. Hell of a season from that guy.

Just a guess, but maybe in the 60′s, when they lowered the mound and had some expansion (Maris’ 61 homer season was partially attributed to expansion, I think). I’m sure someone with the actual numbers at their fingertips will be along shortly and not just a guess.

I’m not accusing Bautista of anything, but that’s a poor analogy. Warner never had an opportunity to play until ’99 and he was awesome most of his career except for about a season and a half when he was dealing with injuries/Eli Manning. Bautista had an established track record and plenty of playing time before he turned into Albert Pujols.

John,
If we got to go back to the 60s, this isn’t looking great for Bautista. Again, flakes happen, but let’s not ignore 13 years of cheating
June 16th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Bautista had an established track record and plenty of playing time before he turned into Albert Pujols.
But again. He’s never failed a test. Unless he’s some mad scientist that has developed and undetectable PED that he’s not sharing with anyone else, or is the ONLY player who is willing to cheat, I don’t see how you can point a finger at him.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Dirt stop talking about the dead fucking baby deer that was eaten by a coyote and it’s poor mom who misses her baby. You’re a fucking asshole.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Ah yes, Bret Boone. I think I remember him swinging and missing during the home run derby after his monster year.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
You guys are forgetting the fact Bautista played for the Pirates before coming to Toronto. He had to get away from their poisonous scent in order to hit home runs.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:51 AM

yeah, yeah. Fox kittens have to get fed something, too.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:52 AM
Probably. But you could have told the guy to fuck off and that you had hockey to watch
If I’m in the middle of watching something/doing something and a guy is calling me I don’t even bother to pick up the phone.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:52 AM
A little lost in my Boston schadenfreude is the fact that Flyers getting swept doesn’t look nearly as catastrophic after seeing what Boston did against TB and Vancouver. Signing Bryzgalov (he’s coming to town today) is a step in the right direction.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:53 AM
Signing Bryzgalov (he’s coming to town today) is a step in the right direction.
No it isn’t.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:54 AM
even if Jose Bautista is on steroids (which I don’t think he is) my entire attitude about it can be summed up in 4 words:
who gives a shit
June 16th, 2011 at 9:54 AM
In honor of Nathan Horton.

Population control. Better the deer went out that way then dying of starvation, which is probably what would have happened eventually.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:54 AM
It doesn’t warm your heart to know that coyote babies were able to eat and all that was sacrificed was some stupid animal that would probably end up causing havoc in traffic later in life?
June 16th, 2011 at 9:55 AM
lol
June 16th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
Whatever your view of stats, Charlie Morton has never sniffed an ERA under 4.5. He changes his approach and currently is one of the best pitchers in the league.
Same case could be made for Bautista.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
Anyone have the NHL Center Ice (or whatever it’s called) package for your cable company? Is it expensive? I need hockey in my life next season. I’ve adopted a team, now I need a way to follow them.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:57 AM
It was my understanding they survived off of rainbows, dreams, and happiness.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:57 AM
Butters, I wish you were that guy in the black hat in Vancouver last night.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
He’s better than all of their current options put together. They can’t go into next year with the current goaltending situation. Not after what happened in the playoffs.
It will depend, really, on what they give up to sign him. The article you linked implies a Carter trade, which, from what I’m hearing, won’t happen. More like, Matt Carle and not re-signing Carcillo and Ville Leino.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
Don’t bother. It’s a giant piece of shit. Especially if you’re used to the quality that MLB.tv provides. Gamecenter blacked out games for me that were being played in Canada and the reason given was “in market game”. The online features are average, but getting it on your TV is a massive waste of money.
The league needs to take a look at MLB.tv and then frame their package around that. The current system they have is garbage. I cancelled mine 6 weeks into the season and got a partial refund. You also have to deal with Habs cames being broadcast in French.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
I’m thinking of the last 18 years, not this one. It’s a new era with Clint Hurdle, and the Pirates will win the world series next year.

Props to Boston’s GM for picking him up. He’s going to be a beast for a long time.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
It’s anywhere from 150-175 IIRC. Problem is there are only a couple HD channels. So only about 10-20% of the games are in HD. It may get better next year though.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
It’s super expensive but I think they do a short promo where you can get it for half off if you’re a new customer.

Who did you adopt JCK? The Wild? The Blues?
June 16th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
I was trying to address the comparison to Kurt Warner, not whether or not Bautista is roiding. I think it’s a possibility, but that’s as far as I’ll go until there’s some evidence. Whether or not he’s using, I don’t really care, but I think those who completely deny it as a possibility are ignoring a lot of MLB history.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
Damn. Look, a cute puppy!
June 16th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
Awesome, awesome movie
I only brought him up to counter that a GM five years ago or whatever not liking a guy and him subsequently getting better isn’t a clear sign that he cheated
June 16th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
because it’s fun to get the Bautista defenders all riled up this early in the morning.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
Who did you adopt JCK? The Wild? The Blues?
I think he adopted your team. I hope he didn’t adopt the Wild. The nickname alone doesn’t deserve anyone’s support.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
He’s better than all of their current options put together. They can’t go into next year with the current goaltending situation. Not after what happened in the playoffs.
Bobrovsky with a proven veteran backup (Emery?) is better than Bryzgalov and having to sacrifice some quality assets. Look at what the Hawks have in Crawford/Turco (Crawford/Other).
Laviolette panicked too early in the playoffs benching Bobrovsky early in the Buffalo series.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
That’s gold Jerry, gold.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
@dirt- that dirk article was superb. i knew he was forced to take a month off each summer to blow off steam (get hammered at the loon and in germany), but didnt know much about that austrailia trip. when he ran off the court to cry, it gave me a a near sports tear. with all the self promotion and general lack of cariing about your team and being yourself, dirk is refreshing as a cold shiner.
and fuck wilbon in the eye. i am not collectively eating anything, asshead.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Yeah, deer have babies in June up here. PLus, I know what she is doing because my dogs found the legs that a fox/coyote gnawed off before carrying the rest of his prize home.
prepare for a SG blowup. all caps coming soon.
Awesome. You posted that one minute prior.
Fucking deer are just large ass rodents out here. Too fucking many of them. I’m all in favor of sacrificing a few deer to see a few more foxes. However, most deer are sacrificed to let auto-repair guys rich in the fall.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Cute snow leopard babies!
June 16th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
The Blackhawks.
/high fives SC
I figured since I’m from there, and they are a year removed from the Cup, which sort of eliminates the bandwagon factor, it would be the best match.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Wait, so the Canadians here are blaming the Canucks Stanley Cup loss on Vancouver? Or are they blaming the defense?
June 16th, 2011 at 10:05 AM
shit. Luongo not Vancouver.

Welcome aboard. Make the trip to the CHI next season and I’ll take you to a game. Just make sure you cut the tags off your sweater beforehand.

Team game SG. Luongo didn’t play well, but neither did the team in front of him.

Devang, that link is like breathing into a paper bag for me. So cute, especially the video.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
re: Flyers goaltending
I tend to agree with Geez. I think Bob should be given a chance next season to show he’s a capable goalie. He played well to start the regular season, then Lavvy went back to Leighton and Boosh. You bring in a veteran backup, like a Marty Turco or Emery, and let the kid get his feet under him. It worked for Crow. You have to at least see what Bob can do.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
Whew. I was worried there for a second.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:09 AM
Hockey jerseys are the coolest in all of sports. I may have to invest in one with Griswold-00 on the back.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:09 AM
What is this 2007? I love the kitlers.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
I think it ran about $160 for me through Direct TV. Most of the games were in HD for Direct TV as well. I just didn’t get enough use out of it. If it was half the cost, I’d be more likely to keep it.

Dude you just cock blocked Mclovin!

@dirt- that dirk article was superb.
I call my wife at work every day, get her on the phone, and tell her Dirk is a champion. I tell her when she gets home again. Did you read that one in Der spiegel, where all of Germany was celebrating because Dirk won the title with typical german resolve. Just be more dedicated and meticulous?
This is seriously one of the most satisfying weeks of my life.
But yeah, that deadspin piece really nails the how the change in narrative has nothing to do with what actually happened, because Dirk was a beast in 2006, too.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
The snow leopard would probably also enjoy venison veal if it tastes anything like mountain goat…this video is pretty badass

re: Dirk. I had posted this yesterday as well.
Then there’s stupid assholes who write this type of shit:

i havent read that. i just love dirks approach to just about everything. i dont think an athlete was more deserving of a title than he was.
the parade is today, and i want to go so bad. already too many people. i know i will see dirk at capital pub soon, i must buy him a beer.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
The organization feels they can compete right now, with their skating talent, so backstopping that with a 2nd year goalie (who has some holes) doesn’t feel like the right move.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:44 AM
decent article. 1) he was still soft 2) he is nowhere near as good as Larry Bird. Comparing the two because they both happen to be white and tall is intellectually lazy. Bird is anywhere from top 5-10 all time.
June 16th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
Peyton Hillis is Mike Alstott

it’s not so much that he is still soft, it’s that he’s not that different. Only the narrative changed.
Neither Bird nor Dirk really compares to any other players I can think of, so I can understand why they’d be compared to each other. Mainly tallness and whiteness. And shooting the basketball.
June 16th, 2011 at 11:07 AM
1) he was still soft
he wasnt soft. he was just not the screaming chest thumping dickwad you are used to.
June 16th, 2011 at 11:58 AM
sorry to burst the bubble on your mancrush, but Dirk has done his share of chest bumping and screaming. He was also a soft 7 footer who Avery Johnson had to constantly get on for his lack of post up game at his size (sounds familiar).
