Lot of good stuff to get to — no time for introductions that no one reads.

Blues news

As a kid, I went to the Brendan Shanahan softball game and it was a lot of fun. I still remember the year he got traded, he invited Chris Pronger to play in the game. I got Prongs' autograph on a rookie card, but I remember him looking so uncomfortable. [Blues]

Videos

First up, Turd Ferguson passes along the latest batch of Randy Moller goal calls.

Next up is J-Mill. Fresh off his front-page feature comes a video that will make you think differently of Alvin and his Chipmunk friends. J-Mill says this ruined his childhood, but I disagree — it makes sense that Alvin liked pot. Lyrics not safe for work.

Man I really want some Colt 45 — it works every time.
