  1. The pitcher himself can't have an illegal substance on him but positional players can. Pine Tar & rosin are allowed to be used, by anyone except the pitcher, to help grip the ball. FWIW, the Mets do not have an issue with this.
  2. Bucknor is starting. Thats weakness. Getting a legit canadian safety back could allieviate that problem. maybe thats what we are angling for.. We know Bucknor was exposed a lot this season. Waggoner and Newman or Morgan i assume are all potential Safety prospects while Jones I think is a Bucknor 2.0 I'd like to see an all Import secondary. None of the guys you listed (though still unproven) give me anything to hope for, except maybe Waggoner. I hope we sign another CND onlinemen this off season (don't know who is available) and hopefully a solid Dlinemen - Steele anyone? I know he wants to play here. We just need to get it done! Must not want to play here that bad since he signed an extension that'll keep him in Edmonton through 2017 about a week & a half ago.
  3. I'm good with Netflix having it in Canada. I travel quite a bit for my side job so this means that I'll be able to watch it repeatedly when I'm on the road!
  4. Burt ward is the name of the actor that played robin/**** Grayson.
  5. To me, this sums up the final years of the Harper Government. Say what you like about his early years, but toward the end...this was his legacy, and it doesn't seem surprising. And that's the thanks these former MPs get from Harper? That's bad. Might be that a few of these ex-MP's might actually throw off the muzzle and speak their minds on the election results and the direction the party is headed. Harper is a control freak beyond compare and he probably doesn't want dissenting viewpoints voiced less the party divides back into it's original fragments of PC's and Reformers. Why he would even give a **** at this point is anyone's guess as he has basically left the party bereft of any legitimate successors. Stephen Fletcher was pretty outspoken about the campaign strategy after the election. I'm guessing he's not the only one.
  6. Rogers refused to switch the field from baseball to football, even though there was enough time.
  7. I'm ok with it today just because this will be me tomorrow...
  8. Official stats say it went to Westerman. http://cfl.ca/statistics/statsGame/id/12979
  9. Find me the Wiserhood slow clap gif! This man speaks truths...
  10. Jacquie proved you wrong with her link, unless you have some evidence to the contrary.
  11. The frequent use of omnibus bills (there have been 8 or 9 since 2011?) was probably my biggest issue with the Harper government, especially since he was so against them as a member of the opposition. I very much dislike huge bills that use, in his words, the "kitchen sink approach" to combine completely unrelated issues together.
  12. They were 15-0-2 against Detroit going back to 2009 so that was a good win for them. McDavid's game winner was beautiful & Yakupov looks so much better (and happier!) so far this season. 10 points in 3 games between the 2 of them now.
  13. Just being a good team player, trying to stay positive. I wouldn't have expected anything less from one of our guys, especially Vega.
  14. At least they didn't stick a tramp stamp on those things, like they did to the Riders. That's about the only somewhat positive thing I can say about them.
  15. Biden announces that he will not run for president. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/world/newsalert-biden-announces-he-wont-run-for-president-335086471.html
  16. 2007. He was with Montreal in 2006. http://www.torontosun.com/2014/11/29/stampeders-assistant-gm-murphy-still-flying-under-the-radar
  17. Tom Broadbeck wrote that I believe.
  18. In case anyone arguing with TUP hasn't figured this out yet... this will go on forever. This is his internet forum style, and has been for years. It's probably better for everyone involved to just agree to disagree and move on.
  19. He was in Calgary in 2008, Winnipeg in 2009 & back to Calgary in 2010.
  20. Dr. Kellie Leitch (who was born in Winnipeg)? I saw her getting asked the leadership question (not sure which station) which she avoided.
  21. I don't think they are getting anything from the team. Someone had an article last week (I can't remember who at this point) & they asked Miller about it. All Miller said was ticket sales were heading in the right direction.
  22. I've got no problem with the quick looks. It's like a mini-camp or the free agent tryouts they put on. If they don't show something, you don't waste a spot or time on them & move on to the next guy.
  23. Not really much spin. In the province the NDP number of seats didn't go down, but the conservatives did. What he is neglecting of course is the the cons went down because Manitobans wanted change and still do. That doesn't help the NDP nor hurt the provincial Cons. If anything it should bolster the provincial Liberals. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you ask) they are so disorganized that they likely won't be able to do anything about it. Actual con votes didn't drop a ton. If he thinks the liberal vote is somehow indicative of a turn away from provincial PC's he's kidding himself. But he knows. That's why its spin. He's sunk. And this result was bad for him. I don't think there was any possible result in that election that changes the fact that he's sunk. The only way the NDP stays in power provincially is if Pallister and the PC's have a huge implosion some how. It's their election to lose at this point and the popularity of the NDP is so low that Pallister could go around slapping babies and still win.
  24. I was thinking that one too... might have have to leave early for an "appointment". lol
