This just in

Per JRs twitter. The Bishop is getting called up, apparently conks boy got injured somehow but he will meet em out west. Since hes meeting em out west it doesn’t sound to serious but hes still skipping games so its more than just run of the mill stuff. Broken Bone maybe, dunno.

Or, well, the other 10,000 intangibles could.

Just the fact that Canada’s salary is higher than all those countries GDP is mind boggling.
Also, is it ghoulish to want to see a picture of Walt’s face?
