As cool as it was to see Bavasi rip into Dave Samson a year ago, right now the NHL is kicking MLB's ass.

Burke and Lowe have been at odds since the Oilers put forth a five-year, $21.25 million offer sheet to Group II restricted free agent Dustin Penner last summer - a contract that the Ducks did not match and sent Penner to Edmonton.

"If I had run my team into the sewer like that I wouldn't throw a grenade at the other 29 teams and my own indirectly," said Burke before the start of last season. "So I have no intention of speaking to him anytime soon."

Apparently Lowe finally had enough. In a candid interview, the Oilers' GM railed against Burke calling him a 'moron' and a 'media-junkie'.

...

"Where do I begin?," started Lowe. "He's a moron, first of all. Secondly, he really believes that any news for the NHL is good news. Thirdly, he loves the limelight and I don't think anyone in hockey will dispute that. Lastly, he's in a pathetic hockey market where they can't get on any page of the newspaper let alone the front page of the sports, so any of this stuff carries on."

I found out that Seattle was to be awarded a NHL team in a aborted 1976 expansion

Red Sox are converting a guy from

starter to reliever, does that really need to be done at the minor league level?

Best lineup of the season?

by JI on Jul 7, 2008 6:26 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

God I hope not

5. 1B-R. Sexson
6. C-K. Johjima
7. DH-J. Clement (Why behind Sexson and Kenji?)
8. CF-W. Bloomquist
9. SS-Y. Betancourt

Ewwww

I want no part of Kenji, maybe some Reed, throw some Balentien somewhere in there, forfeit the SS batting slot for the pitcher….

Its one Vidro appearance away from nearly being the worst lineup of the year.

We should be able to bat Johjima, Willie, and Bloomquist ALL in the 9 hole….

Drug dealers frequented the Pirates’ clubhouse. Even the Pirate Parrot, Kevin Koch, was implicated for buying cocaine and introducing a few of the ballplayers to a local drug dealer.

Have I mentioned yet

how glad I am that Juan Pierre isn’t in the Dodgers lineup for awhile?

I know its SSS but they’re scoring nearly a run more than their season average in the last week. Probably partly from playing SF…

In a way the Mariners are like the Lightning

Strasburg/Stamkos, go and sign a ton of veterans to fix the problem, a few stars, ignoring defense.

He constantly smiles out of the corner of his mouth

and he’s optimistic no matter what happens. Someone could pull a 9/11 on Safeco and he’d find a silver lining about it.
