Good evening

I’ve been watching on mute but it looks like a pretty decent game so far.

by Nadia on Oct 28, 2011 10:27 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Is this the part where our bullpen from 5 months ago wins the world series?

This series has made me hate

That the all star game decides home field advantage.

But wasn't Washington the manager of the AL team?

Guess he didn’t want it enough.

The man in the white shirt.

And CJ Wilson gave up the homerun to fielder, right?

Funny how Wilson was acting like it was no big deal that he lost the game, but now, I would say home field has played a role in this series.

I just hope I see them make the playoffs

Raps a few seasons ago, Leafs consistently before that

I was born in 92 so didn’t really get to see the Jays win it all

by natec on Oct 28, 2011 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

I occasionally watch Raptors games

But I don’t really care about them. And I only started watching hockey post lockout so I’ve never actually seen a playoff game.

by Nadia on Oct 28, 2011 10:49 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

i dont think its that hard for a playoff spot

i mean both hockey and basketball have 8 spots, so its pretty easy to squeeze in

And then I remember they’ve been in the world series two year in a row.

haven't ever won

rather see them win than Cards who won several months ago

by Pikachu on Oct 28, 2011 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah

Especially because I’d rather not hear anymore about us losing the Rasmus trade

The Rangers won it when they were the Senators…Old Walter Johnson was a machine

I think you might be in error sir.

These guys were the second entry to start out in Washington and moved to Texas after one year iirc. The team with Johnson on it was an entirely different team (completely different era too).

by Alan F. on Oct 28, 2011 11:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yep

The first Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins

That part I couldn`t remember (Twins).

But their last season in Washington, attendance looked like the last year of the Expos (saw it on a documentry).

Is Freese the MVP if Cards win?

So, I was invited to a dinner to celebrate the shark fin ban in Toronto with a bunch of councillors etc but I didn’t think my dad would let me go so i didn’t ask. Turns out he would have let me :( Now I’m sad.

And everyone else who worked on the ban because I’m involved on trying to ban it in Hamilton.

by Nadia on Oct 28, 2011 11:02 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

ohhh i see

might as well ask, what’s involved in getting shark fin? is it true that the sharks are caught, fins cut off and put back in the ocean?

by natec on Oct 28, 2011 11:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Some are. But it’s impossible to tell once they’re dried.

Sharks are an endangered species in general

Finning has killed over 90% of the shark pop.

by Nadia on Oct 28, 2011 11:09 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Dunno.

Just stating facts I’ve read.

by Nadia on Oct 28, 2011 11:12 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

I was wrong:

Some species have decreased over 90%

by Nadia on Oct 28, 2011 11:14 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

What I don't get is..

Instead of banning shark fin soup wouldn’t it make more sense to have some form of controlled fishing so that the population is sustainable? Isn’t that what happens with most other fish species?

by natec on Oct 28, 2011 11:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think the problem is the illegal fishing happening

in south america or somewhere like that

That's what happens most often

It’s waaay more efficient to just keep the fins on the boat. If you haven’t seen it, Sharkwater is an amazing documentary.

Boston makes a trade with the Leafs wins the Stanley Cup
St Louis makes a trade with the Jays, wins the world series.

I guess by extension whoever makes a trade with the Bills this year will win the superbowl.

Raycroft! I like the move. Falls inline with the push for youth and is a solution for the future. Trading Rask was unfortunate, but with Pogge and Raycroft only being 26, I think the TO goaltending future is a bright one. - Some guy from 2006

I’ve not paid much attention to Jays in the past few years. I think I’m going to make a point of following closely next season. Last time I watched, Russ Adams was our up and coming superstar. I have no idea what’s going on right now other than headline tidbits I see in newspapers.
