It wasn't a particularly well-played series, whoever one was rooting for (if any). Picked off 1st in bottom of 9th to end a game w/ tying run at the plate? A scoring run on a maybe, maybe not obstruction call in 9th? Dropped fly balls and multitude of other miscues?? No, not particularly well-played at all. -- |

We have a twisted society that pays athletes many millions of dollars to do what real sports people do for free because they enjoy it. Yes, if offered, I'd take the money too. |

Basically wanted SL to win last night, just so we could have another game to watch before the interminable basketball bull**** took over the airways. Oh well. I played baseball, softball, and slo-pitch in fairly competitive leagues until I was in my late 50s. Never any major breakage; minor breaks and sprains, jams, and on. One night in February, we were having a tough game. I hit a clean single to right, saw the fielder bobble the ball and took off for second. Slid safely in and had an immediately had a WTF-an-I-doing epifany. That kind of stuff is hard on an incipient geezer. Cut back on number of league and all tournaments and packed it in for good a year later. I get plenty of non-competitive strength and aerobic exercise so I am good. I never cared for watching a baseball game and still don't. Maggy likes pro football so we catch 2 3 4 games a week. Life's good. mahalo, jo4hn |

A lot of Canadian teams moved to the US in hopes of improving the bottom line, screwing the smaller Canadian markets that had supported them for years in the process. As a result, a lot of the schedule of Canada's national pastime ends up being played outside of Canada. It's too bad but the NHL ain't what it was. Lew |

That's more than four.G Not sure about Philadelphia Flyers. After that, The Islanders, Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, Pittsburgh Penguins are all still here. Not sure about Denver, Atlanta, Columbus, someplace in Florida as well as Tennessee. There is also the San Jose Sharks. There are probably more, they just don't come to mind right now. So who moved back? Lew |
