Eleven

I just got home; watched without sound. Well, we got almost everything we wanted to see of our Sabres. SOG: Doubled the Bruins. Toughness? Greenway and Krebs didn't put up with anything. Strategy? Fine. The skaters did little wrong tonight. They got goalied, and sometimes that happens. And Lyon didn't have his strongest game, either (goals 2, 3, 4...) but that happens, too. I'm not upset with this one.

This is why it's more important to get Ellis game time than it is to get UPL game time. UPL is a known quantity--to us and to the league. Ellis is not. If the Sabres are going to manage the asset that is Colten Ellis--whether it be to get exposure for a trade or to see whether he makes UPL expendable--it is imperative that he gets the backup starts. I don't want to see UPL in net again unless it's an absolute necessity until at least December.

All of the playoffs for me. Otherwise, I love going to the ballpark, but I'm not going to watch a nine-inning game on TV in July.

Folks, @spndnchz is NOT WATCHING the baseball this year.

I love Yesavage, how could one not, but Schneider will be making another mistake if he leaves Trey in for the 8th and 9th.

Yeah I'm aware. On the plus side, the Jays are killing it tonight.

Well, except it's actually "Tragedeigh," and she's a dancer in a club called "Paradise."

He's missed fewer games than Coleman, scores touchdowns, and is the X receiver the Bills desperately need.

If you find them for 250 I'm in.

If the Dodgers win this series by one game, the decision to pitch to Ohtani will and should go down as the dumbest managerial decision since John McNamara left Bill Buckner at first base.

OK, bedtime for me is usually around 10. It's 1215 because Toronto's manager can't figure out how to walk a hot batter. (Granted it would have been about 1115 anyway). Goodnight, God bless, go Jays.

Well, at least they didn't give up a guy like Xavier Worthy for him.

What are they even thinking pitching to Ohtani in the seventh? WALK HIM. Geez.

Who are they even interviewing and why is this person important?

The half hitch is a simple hitch knot, where the working end of a line is brought over and under the standing part. Insecure on its own, it is a valuable component of a wide variety of useful and reliable hitches, bends, and knots.

Pardon me if I missed it, but do we have lineup/starter info yet? Paging @Brawndo and @LGR4GM

He'll ask for that if he needs it. Some people need it, some would prefer to just get back into things.

This is a bad take. He's fine.

We'd all prefer Ellis.

Nearly all Sabres goals this season in general, especially in the four home wins. There's a reason for this.

You're not wrong, but this is a hockey game. Keening doesn't work here. Anyway, I'm really enjoying this old-style, radio with a book.

The Cranberries? Really? I love them, but this is a hockey game and not a coffee house.

FORMER bookie. I have to tell you the story sometime.

My life experience of betting on hockey is $5 and that's because I wanted the ticket as a bookmark. My entire life experience of betting on sports in general, not counting a super bowl pool or fantasy football, is $10. (The other $5 was on the 1986 Mets and my friend never paid up.) I don't mind a good poker game, and a craps table at the right place can be a lot of fun. I don't understand sports gambling, but I don't condemn it, either. And I'm the son of a former bookie, too.

Wooosh...
