Hockey Night sounds fun. If not the Blackhawks, then maybe the Wolves. I'm in charge of the off-ice guys in Quad City, and we're now in the AHL as the AAA affiliate of Calgary. I could score some free tickets (well, maybe not 20).

My favorite part of the Barry intentional walk is that it looked like Lou told him they were going to do it.  After the mound visit he walked right past the plate and smiled and said something to Barry.  I'm almost positive he told him they weren't pitching to him.

I think it'd be funny if Barry would actually throw the bat away with the elbow guard on ball three and see if the other team still intentionally throws ball four.  I'd be surprised if they even noticed, but how great would it be to see a guy without a bat get intentionally walked?

If Barroid took no bat to the plate whatsoever, he'd still the best hitter in that sorry Giants lineup.

Boche fucked up though last night, in my opinion.  I've criticized Lou for this in the past with Cliff Floyd, so why not when the other manager does it with Barry Bonds in that shitty lineup...

What is this trend of pinch-running for your best hitters in a tied game?  To me, it seems far less likely that the extra bit of speed will make more of a difference, than keeping that player in for possible extra innings.  I realize some of these power hitters are slow, and perhaps even lazy...but it's not exactly akin to going from a 90 yar-old in a walker to Ben Johnson, either.   Not only that, but you have one less option left on your bench.  It just seems like an extra-bad play in the National League. 

I wouldn't be surprised if anticipating that move by Boche made walking Barry go from an easy decision to an absolute slam-dunk, nothing to think about type of decision.  Not only do you not have to pitch to him, but he'll be out of the game completely.

Excited for hockey, are ya?

Just a little.  My other tabbed windows were opened to the Penguins website and letsgopens.com's message board.  Hence the slip, but still a moran moment.

I'd fix it, but I think it's funnier as is, since, well, I've been caught, and it'd just be revisionist history.

We need to have a Desipio Hockee Night. It'll probably be just us three, though. And Mrs. Fork - she loves her hockey.

If she's making shortcake, I'll be there, even though I'm not a big hockey fan.

Just steer clear of the Steve Miller beforehand...

And my client owns the broadcast truck for the Wolves.  SD, not HD.  Butr might me able to score some all access passes.

[Dave B]

Any good strip clubs in the vicinity of Allstate Arena?

You have the worst typos, Chuck.

Home, home is 40 minutes from the Quad Cities for me.  The Wolves play there on Friday Nov 2, would be a good game for me to come back for, if anyone wanted to catch that one here.

I'd be down for a Wolves game too.  I guess it's not their year (or Quad Cities) to play the Baby Pens, which is a shame.  Maybe next year.

Also, if my apartment gets satellite that lets me buy the hockey plan, I'll get it.  But I'm down for Desipio Hockee Night.

Heavenly Bodies is about 3 miles straight down Touhy from the Allstate Arena.

Haven't been there for about 6-7 years, though, so I can't speak for it's quality.

there's the Krispy Kreme on Mannheim, so we can stop in and say hello to Hendry.

Hockey night?  I'm in.

Actually, I meant maybe I could hook up some tickets for the games in Chicago, but feel free to contact me if you ever need some for the QCs.

And CT, I knew we could count you in.

It's the one closest to Hendry's home, so maybe he'll be there injesting a dozen.

I'm down, but I'm not going to see some goddamn Wolves game.

I'm down, but I'm not going to see some goddamn Wolves game.

I'd like to go back in time to 1995 and go to a Hawks/Leafs game.  Make it happen.

I'd like to go back in time to 1995 1994 and go to a Hawks/Leafs game.  Make it happen.

Is that from their final game in the Stadium?
