Eyeopener - Nearly Killing Nathan Horton Seems Like A Bad Idea In Retrospect


Fuck word limits in titles.  Our blog, our unwieldy titles.

-Since Nathan Horton was nearly killed by Aaron Rome, the Bruins have outscored the Canucks 12-1 and tied the Stanley Cup Finals at two games apiece.  Seemingly besides cleaning Horton's clock, Rome seems to have cleaned the cobwebs up and kick started their offense into something fierce.  The B's took down Vancouver 4-0 in game four last night officially transforming from a potential whitewashing into a best of three shootout.   Already people north of the bordering are questioning if Bob Luongo (when you get shelled like he has been, you lose full name privileges) should start game five while the name Timothy, or variations thereof, will likely be the number one time in the greater Boston area this year.

-Speaking of Canada, Terrelle Pryor should make sure his passport is valid.  The Saskatchewan Roughriders acquired the rights yesterday to negotiate with the former Buckeye signal caller.  Pryor, who you should know by now left tOSU after a shitstorm of epic proportion that culminated in the accusation he made 20-40k selling his Herbie Hancock, is now a free agent of sorts and already people are speculating what's next.  Some are speculating Pryor could spend a season in the UFL, others are pondering already how TP could excel on their NFL squad of interest, and yet others are saying he won't be a solid fit on the 'Riders.

-So much for that infamous slow start.  The Red Sox are back on top of the AL East after their second straight whooping of the Empire.  I know New York had a solid west coast swing but I just have this feeling (that very well may be all bias) that these two teams are trending in very different directions.

-Buccos!  The Pirates are playing .500 ball!  At 30-30 this is the latest the Pirates have been at or above the break even mark since 2005.  The win came in the 12th inning on a Andrew McCutchen walk-off blast that sent the Pirates into a frenzy and DBacks to the showers.

-The Rockies won a series.  To say I'm elated would be an understatement.

-Cole Hamels was dominant, and he needed to be.  It's never good when the article starts with, "As he began the first home run trot for a Phillies hitter in eight days..."  What is good is when you beat the LA Dodgers 2-0 like the Phillies did last night.

-I am starting to really like DeShawn Stevenson and the way he (accurately) keeps talking shit about LeBron in the media.
