  1. He's got the wiry frame, bushy hair, and that sort of crouched delivery.
  2. Watch the game and see if Elvin doesn't remind you of Fidrych at least a little bit.
  3. Go Woodsy!
  4. Minus 10 as an outfielder LOL!!! I don't miss that guy at all. Timmy Lupus is strutting around with his chest puffed out, nodding his head and saying "That's right. That's right."
  5. Grace under fire, that was it right there, you can't rehearse for it.
  6. Yeah, his reputation survived that, his representatives sold the idea that it wasn't his idea to leave Edmonton and go to LA and he did so tearfully, he was "traded", which was a load of malarkey of course. But these gambling ads, they are an outrage, the first time you see them it is such a shock to learn that he doesn't understand his role, that he is someone that kids look up to. And please, don't toss "beer ads" onto the pile, 12-year-olds won't be ordering beer on their phones at recess, but now they can start betting as soon as they have a phone.
  7. I don't know where else to put this but I just want to say that if Walter Gretzky were still alive he would kick Wayne's ass all over that backyard skating rink. Here's the situation, online gambling has recently loosened up in a big way (meaning that the Province is no longer the sole owner of gambling revenue) and a lot of online gambling sites are flooding the Ontario airwaves, led by MGMbet whose principal shill is Wayne, I mean Jesus FC do you really need the money? A lot of minor hockey organizations have protested, trying to get local television stations to stop carrying the ads, to no avail of course. Wayne you have disgraced yourself in the only market that ever mattered. The glitterati in LA will never see these ads and wouldn't care if they did. But the legacy of your dad and everything that he meant to hockey and charity in Brantford ON...what a disgusting display
  8. I could live with that
  9. Yes what is wrong with his handlers, that they have not told him to forget that whisper.
  10. Yeah, I don't get the hatred for a lot of these guys. Bauer and Donaldson of course but most of them seem pretty harmless. Vladdy Jr? Come on.
  11. Ha ha, it felt like it was Willie Horton every time!
  12. That was a '68 Tigers win through and through...a come-from-behind 2 run homer in the bottom of the eighth to win 3-2. It seemed like the '68 team did that twice a week.
  13. I once broke 2 fingers typing the name Kevin Rand.
  14. Now I think we are getting somewhere, in our search for the origins of the violent subculture that has existed since at least the 1870s.
  15. That would be the most visible positive outcome.
  16. Toronto Stock Exchange, heaviest weighting is Financial with Materials the runner-up. I'm actually down 2.5% YTD, and 5% from my peak around the end of March
  17. I think that the origins of that violent subculture need to be identified, keeping in mind that they have existed since at least the 1870's. At what age does a gun nut become a gun nut?
  18. Give him Carpenter's uniform
  19. Roger Clemens is a douchebag. When he played in Toronto he was meeting some friends at a high end public golf course and got into a physical altercation with the guy behind the counter in the pro shop who was insisting that Clemens pay the green fees, probably around $175 at the time.
  20. It will not surprise you to learn that, in the Bank of Nova Scotia tower in Toronto, the key tenant is the Bank of Nova Scotia. They did not renew their lease, on the top 3 floors of the tower, which included some ridiculously opulent office space. It's happening all over downtown Toronto.
  21. I will be buying within the next week. We announced a 50 basis point hike today, anticipated for weeks and already priced in. Expecting another 50 basis points 6 weeks from now, also already priced in. I'm down about 5% YTD and I am not too disappointed with that. I don't pick stocks, I just buy the index.
  22. Every other developed country in the world has those same rabbit holes, without churning out anywhere near the number of mass shooters per capita. Blaming them is like blaming television or video games, they are just symptoms of, or responses to, a violent subculture that already exists on its own.
  23. Yes you can walk through a crowd at a Trump rally and find dozens of people like that.
  24. I liked the signing, still do, and wanted to stay the heck away from Correa. Yes, Javy is hitting like crap, no one here thinks otherwise.
