Monday links: Win or go home edition

I'm not going to pretend I think the Blues can make the playoffs this season, but if the Note loses, they're done. It's win or go home time.

Chris Pronger: Locker room cancer? [Broad Street Hockey]
R.J. Umberger is a member of the terrible Columbus Blue Jackets, so he knows bad hockey. He says the Washington Capitals play the game the wrong way. Hey Mr. Hamburger, worry about your own team and not about the team that has the most points in the NHL. [TSN]

This is true

So instead of 68 wins we’ll get 70?

It's hard for me to lose faith in my team.

But by virtue of 4 losses to the Avs and the fact that they won yesterday . . . it’s looking insurmountable at this point.

Oh well. Maybe Carp can ass-rape the Reds today.

That KFC sandwich

Few things in life match the greatness of this sandwich. The birth of your first child, your wedding day, finding 20 bucks on the street. These are all great things, but this. This is something magical.

But if you find 20 bucks you can buy at least three of those sandwiches

And then you would drop dead but it might just be worth it

No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable pre-fab furniture.

Is it still true that

this game isn’t televised??
I guess we’ll all be searching for a feed or listening to KMOX

Apparently.

That’s pretty dumb. It’s not even a Versus Tuesday/Wednesday thing. It’s just not picked up. Odd.

Watching the Cards game

since I’m off today.
Bottom of the 8th Cards up 6-4 but Reds with tying men on base.

If anyone is in the fantasy baseball league can tell me how to tell who is pitching/playing on any given day without going to each players site….
I need some pointers

is it a yahoo league?

if it is, it will have a carrot (^) next to the time to tell you if a player is starting. for pitchers, this is usually known days in advance. for hitters, hours.
