It might've been okay if it was the sixth inning of a mauling
But to start the game thread at that point? We’d be party vanned by the stretch.

Neither Ballgame and wilkerson can hit the ball pretty well
but Ballgame is a tad better defensibly. And Norton is a decent bat off the bench. No one you want playing at 1B everyday, but still better then sexson.
Wilkerson can hit the ball well
when he makes contact and he can work the count. Ballgame is a late inning defensive replacement and nothing more. Sexson is hitting like a good minor league callup first baseman. He’s overpaid, but he’s doing OK so far.

Never mention George Benson’s name among the LL crew, or you will be accused of being a closet smooth jazz fan ;P
I don't listen to smooth jazz.
I prefer real saxophone players. Desmond, Parker, Coltrane.
George Benson and Kenny G can die in a fire.
okay, four runs, that's pretty solid
more would be nice

thanks bro.
That was one of the most fun games I’ve ever seen. OT was just back and forth for 20 min.
Go Nova
The Flyers seemed to have 6-men on the ice those last 3 periods.
The Caps were too defensive and had no energy to amount any kind of attack.
Yeah OT was very one-sided
Very good, considering when Ovie or Green or Federov had the puck I was shitting my pants
Go Nova

Because an offensive rally is never expected, and therefore more entertaining
So... for 15 minutes in a 3 1/2 hour game our team is exciting.
I don’t like that percentage.

Yeah know, it pisses me off when people say baseball is boring.
