It's Tuesday. Let's do this.

Blues news

News you may know if you visit this site, the Blues have trimmed the roster down to 30. [Belleville News-Democrat]
I know it's been said, but how did the Blues go from No. 6 in the west to potentially on the outside looking in? Did three other teams get that much better? [Fox Sports]
To paraphrase the announcer on NBA, the defensive competition is heating up. [Stltoday.com]

Hockey news
Bad news if you're going to the Islanders/Kings preseason game in Kansas City: John Tavares won't be playing. [KC Star]
So some guy got his ass beat in a fight, so now fighting is bad. Sigh. Gotta love snap decisions. [SI.com]
Evgeni Malkin, like Alex Ovechkin, is going to play in the 2014 Olympics -- even if the NHL won't let him. [TSN]
The Coyotes have a new assistant coach, no word on the head coach's status. [TSN]
Pascal Morency is suspended for leaving the bench and trying to fight Dion Phaneuf. [TSN]
Oh ... this is still going on. [TSN]
The Oilers have goalie issues. [The Copper & Blue]
Chemmy does some actual research about the value of the Phil Kessel trade. It's interesting, and a good read. [Pension Plan Puppets]
No word on the Versus/DirecTV deal, and no word on the NHL Center Ice/Time Warner negotiations. Gotta love the NHL and it's trouble with TV contracts. [Puck Daddy]

Other links

So, this is the world's most insensitive tattoo. [Sade]
Don't believe in global warming? What if I told you it fucked with your beer. Now do you care? I thought so. [Atom]

Video

I don't know how Cross Check Raise knew I was a fan of hot dogs, but this video hits close to home. Hot dog buns shouldn't come in packs of eight while dogs come in packs of 10. This man is a hero.

Good rule of thumb

…follow the links. If a story is ever linked in any way, shape or form to “New Scientist” (as the story on hops is) there is a good chance it is complete and utter bullshit.

Besides, weather patterns shift (its just what they fucking do), so the chances that any one locale will produce the exact same agricultural product in the same way is already nil.

Farmers have known this, oh for about 6000 years or so, and have always looked for new crops to fit the new conditions. So, if you are not getting the same zing from the hops you grow because of a slightly warmer and longer growing season, well, grow a different fucking kind of hops! Or plant some vineyards and start making wine….but do something instead of fucking whining about it.

(Sorry…but I hate shitty science.)

Also, if it's ever linked on the "Other Links" section of St. Louis Game Time's links . . .

it has a chance to, also, be complete and utter bullshit. Most of the shit I send in is so stupid it barely qualifies as news. Sometimes it gets linked.

All I had to do was look at the pictures and know it was a joke. If people can’t realize it’s a joke, then they’re too stupid to try to figure out what’s news and what’s not in the first place.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

The hot dog guy just CRACKED me up

This is one of my all time pet peeves.
The hot dog people and the bun people don’t work together. Well WHY THE HELL NOT? You may not be owned by the same company but that’s what technology is for; call, email, text…

Next: that spreadsheet by PPP was a work of art. Generated over 100 comments.

“So some guy got his ass beat in a fight, so now fighting is bad. Sigh. Gotta love snap decisions”. I didn’t see any snap decision, just a guy that had to answer some of the questions that kids ask. It tends to put some things in perspective when you have to think about more than the pat answer you always give to adults.
I have a genius 10yo that asks these kind of questions and throwing out an answer doesn’t work. It may be days later, after he analyzes all the data rolling around in his head that more questions are asked. There are always more questions with kids.

Hot Dog!

Wieners? I should have know that something like this would come from “Cross Check Raise” aka Tim. I can proudly say that I have known Tim since 1988, and yes, the brother knows his wieners!
