Happy bday!!

Canes fans are just as down as the Oilers' fans about the loss of Roli. We are all hoping it isn't as bad as they apparently think it is.

Editting to remove my whining. I hope Roli gets better and is in net for the next game.

I am uber-pissed right now. I just found out that worthless station, OLN, is running the first two games of the finals. Whoever in the NHL heirarchy is responsible for this should be strung up. This means that I cannot see the Canes first two home games; I will be following them on the game threads on the canes message board and listening via radio (on the internet).

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) The lineup we saw today was because Ozzie wanted his right-handed hitters to bat against the lefty. For some reason he thinks that gives us our best chance at success even though lefties hit over .300 against Rheinecker (granted a small sample size). Likely that more than the day off thing, I agree. I wonder when Oz will realize that it isn't working as well as it does on paper?

When I got to the park today and saw that the "Sunday" lineup was in full force, I wanted to strangle Oz. Yeah, yeah they need a day off occasionally (um, they have one tomorrow), but considering how crappy our pitching has been all-around, we need as many bats in the lineup as we can get. The only one that played like he wanted to be out there was Ozuna. I know he missed the one catch he dived on (still trying to figure out if BA wasn't paying attention or if Ozuna was supposed to be backing up the play with BA going for the catch - one of the two screwed up big on that). Maybe it is just a mid-season slump that most, if not all teams go through, but I could accept losing if it looked like they were at least trying out there.

Between the game and the kids that couldn't sit still for more than a half inning at a time, I thought I was going to go balistic there for a short while. Other than that, had a nice time at the old ball park . Seriously, we need pitching help and no I do not know where to start the search.

Check it out, it is an all-WHA final!

THEY ARE GOIN' TO THE CUP, BABY!!! GO CANES!!!!

Happy bday!!!

Brian and I stayed at the Holiday Inn that is a few minutes from the park (the hockey arena is right across the street). It is okay, nothing fabulous, but it got the job done.

Happy bday - hope the wedding plans are coming along nicely for you two.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 31, 2006 -> 07:16 AM) OK.. enough is enough. Earlier this month step daughter's 2 year old beagle drops dead...the next day, my grama passes away. Last week we find out that step son's wife (who is 29 weeks along) is having early contractions and issues with her cervix... this after a year of Jim's mom having major heart surgery, his aunt dying from cancer (7 weeks after being diagnosed), and the birth, and death, of Joey... So now step son's wife was admitted to Edward last night and is being shot up with steriods to speed up the lung development in little Mia because they think she might deliver "soon"... This is getting re-god-damn-diculous.... Prayers and hugs are out. I know exactly where you are coming from on this.

Happy bday!

Thoughts and prayers are out to you.

Congrats to Jim!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 29, 2006 -> 04:51 AM) When I was growing up, neighborhood kids mowed the lawn, bussed tables at the local restaurant and such. They did it to earn a few extra bucks on the side and to learn the value of a days work before moving on to bigger and better things. Unfortunately, nowadays American kids are spoiled and lazy and would rather plug their eyeballs into a TV screen or computer monitor than get out there and work.

Happy belated bday!!!

So sorry - it sucks losing a pet.

RIP - he is in a pain free place now.

That was a crazy OT period and I was only watching it through the game thread on the Canes board. Canes take a 3-2 lead and they head back to Buffalo for game 6. GO CANES!!!

We still have a land line. We don't use it much and are thinking about getting rid of it.

Yup - Cards game. We have section 554, row 15.

lol - no kidding.
