Week 3 NFL Pool Results

Yay I'm the winner of the week 3 NFL pool. Actually Craig in Calgary and I tied with 10 out of 16 but I was closer on the points on the Monday game. Winning on the tie breaker is like a walk off win. Or something. Last week's winner, Jessef, was this week's loser. ...

What do the Jays have they can trade?

Picimg_mlb_apr_18_f4a5
Mike Wilner, on the weekend, put out his 'plan' to 'save the Jays'. Actually it was his second suggested plan, on the theory that the Jays were going to raise the payroll to $120 million. This one is very trade heavy, trading off a bunch of pitchers (and...

Let's say you are manager, it's the bottom of the 9th and you are down by a run. You have the bottom third of your lineup due to hit. Add in it is September and you should have some extra bodies on the bench to evaluate. One would think this would be a spot for you to try...
