I think the Blues made me sick. I was feeling fine, the Blues lost and then I threw up on the sidewalk on my walk home from work. Damn Blues.

So disappointed after last nights game

that I plowed under the bluenote on my FarmTown field.
Went to bed regretting it.
Kind of like my kids, I may not like them at one particular moment but that doesn’t mean I don’t love them unconditionally.

I’ll replant it.

Denis Leary likes to call today "Amateur Night".

Some years, I agree with him. This year . . . maybe not. It’s Wednesday.

Have fun, be safe and fuck some shit up, everyone.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.

Hawks Ducks I meant

Ducks score 2 in turd to break a 2-2 tie and win 4-2.

Hawks got jobbed on Ducks go ahead goal when their Dman got shoved out of the way on a deflected shot that went up like a pop fly. Ryan buried it in the scramble. Forkin refs again determine a game outcome. WTF? The guy gets shoved like a full second before the puck even comes down.

The hit on Sopel that left him sliding backwards down the boards like a zombie was epic classic. Please god let their be a pic of that.

check that, it was Seebrooke who got waylaid in the corner and turned into a zombie. Sobel was the one who got pushed down on the disputed third Duck goal.
