A few months back, Donut King passed along some Muse "Knights of Cydonia." Brad Lee liked it so much, he asked for it again. It's a pretty sweet tune, so enjoy.

All this talk about ziguarts made me think of this song — it's in the sixth verse.

First the O's blow a 3-2 lead in the 9th

Now this…this year has pretty well sucked for me as a sports fan. Yankees win the WS, Colts make the Super Bowl, Fuck Detroit in the Stanley Cup Finals, Duke wins the National Championship, the Blast get knocked out and the MISL title goes to a Mexican team who plays dirtier than Chris Chelios, Bob Probert and Todd Bertuzzi combined and now the Blues are out of the playoffs.

Fucking hell….

I somehow find it ironic

that the player (Pietra) that isn’t ready for prime time may be the only one left to watch in the end.

I blame myself

My attitude has been awful.

Work & win together.

There’s still time to stick a finger in the eye of the Hawk’s fantasy of finishing 1st in the west and bring a few Rivermen up for a look with the grown-ups.

Thought the same thing about some call-ups

but Jeremy Rutherford tweeted yesterday that there are no plans to call up Junland, Eller, Strachan, etc.

Why, I have no idea.

"No Irish Need Apply."

I blame the English. They tend to be assholes about the Irish. And wouldn’t ya know it . . . I’m part Limey too.

My existence is a walking contradiction that trips over itself constantly.

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

This blows.

And you heard it here first. The Canucks threw that game. They were scared to let the Blues in again. THOSE BASTARDS!!!! SCREW YOU AND YOUR GREASY GUIDO GOALIE!!!

Anyway, well, its really our fault. They had a few chances to put games away that we didn’t. Still, in my world, I’m blaming the canucks though. On the bright side, now we don’t have to cheer for the hawks.

Barret Jackman is my hero.

Fueled. These new shores burn. Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more.

Crosby and Malkin. Two girls, one cup.

what are you talking about? we didn't throw it!

we wanted to win that game, because we still play against calgary on saturday, and by winning both games we would have had no effect on that race for 8th.
