Leafs Fan 101

The Leafs are in 11th place and moving up!

Thumbs-up for almost everybody this morning.

Sorry, but I gotta say it:
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

LEAFS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!

Not unless they add some veteran scoring.

Justice

A reader's response to Graham James being granted bail:

This is the ultimate insult to all children granting bail to this peterpuffer. The ruling by the judge is a very bad joke. Whatever happened to the "dangerous offender " sentence?? This guy is a serial predator...and to the judge, "bend over, drive you home no charge."

Whitney, sportsnet.ca

I love your sense of justice Whitney. Let's sexually assault the judge presiding over the case, in order to really hammer home the negative impact of sexual abuse. We'll let the boys in Millhaven take care of James.

Scumbag 102

On Brett Lawrie's fiance, again:

I don't think she's full black.

Maybe 75% black 25% white.

Time to move on.

MMA 101

A load of Crap, WWE style Garbage. I prefer to fight! not watch it, so I am already biased.

Hammerfist, sportsnet.ca

No, you like to fight Hammerfist???

GM 101

I am really starting to believe, partly because of the salary cap, that the draft is much more important for a teams success then it used to be. These newer players come in and don't usually hit top salary yet giving teams more room to sign other quality players.

In other news, George would like to announce that Chamberlain's appeasement policy may not have worked.

A Few Months Late 101

The Jays now have 4 players among Baseball America's pre-2010 top 100 prospects list. All were acquired by Anthopoulos.
They are:

# 25 KYLE DRABEK
# 27 BRETT WALLACE
# 59 BRETT LAWRIE
# 81 TRAVIS D'ARNAUD

- koolmoedee. globeandmail.com

Nope.

MMA 101

equating (almost) MMA with staged wrestling shows how little you know about MMA. An MMA fighter needs the skills of karate/taekwon-do (kicks and other strikes), judo (takedowns), wrestling (grappling, or Brazilian jiu-jitsu), and aikido (arm bars, chokes, etc.).

- Borgward Isabella, globeandmail.com

And they need to be tough, and have mohawks, and wear shorts, and lift weights, and be Frank Dux.

Scumbag 101

On Brett Lawrie's fiance:

His GF is a nice piece of tail.

Can't tell if she's full black or mixed.

- eastcoastjaysfan, bluejays.com

Ughh.

From Canada With Love

That is right on the money Oveckin is: Over rated, Over paid, and Over here
I hope he never sees Lord Stanley's Cup with his name on it or Olympic Gold. Get on a plane, or boat, or dog team, or what ever you came here in or on and take it back to Russia. He is nothing but money grubbing, cheap shot taking, media whining, never was, or ever will be, Russian premadonna.

AngryCanuk, could you please stop mincing your words and tell us how you really feel about Alexander Ovechkin?

CEO of Sportsnet 101

A response to a Scott Carson column about the Blue Jays recent trade:

Scott, just because you sit in the corner of the booth as a "statistician" doesn't make you an expert on trades. This was a dumb column. Don't give us your view on what should happen. Read the responses and they will tell you what fans think about what should happen. That's what fans do best. Give us reports-statistics is what you get paid for - on what has happened, not what you think should happen.

churchill, sportsnet.ca

Thanks Churchill. I agree. For the love of God Scott, please stop inserting your opinion in your own opinion piece on the website you get paid to write for by Rogers Broadcasting Company.

Westside Connection

On Marcum,

mannnnnnnn, we are going to make the Phillies bowwwwwwwwwwwww dowwwwwwwwn. We are becoming the titan we were born to be.

albertaisfree, tsn.ca

Ya, take that Phillies!!!

GM 101

I am not believing this Marcum trade. Makes no sense. If anything we should be getting a player like Ryan Braun or Rickie Weeks back for them.

- Jonn89, bluejays.com

Only if the Brewers agree to eat most of Braun's salary.

GM 101

Hey bro.

Who has the higher career OPS? Beltre or Jose Bautista?

- eastcoastjaysfan, Posts:33083

Hey bro, I love statistical dick wagging as much as the next guy, but is this really the way you wanted to spend post 33083?

BILL FROM BELLEVILLE..........

Bill, if I wasn't utterly terrified of you, I'd be more confident in pointing out that you can go see the Jays for around 10 dollars.

Anatomy 101

There hasn't been so much dunking since Young Vince still had balls and wasn't afraid to dunk. Keep it up guys.

- sunroof, globeandmail.com

What is it with you people and balls?

Calling out Cajones

Burke, if you don't have the kunahas to fire Wilson, then maybe you should step down. As a big time leaf fan I am truly dissilusioned.

Finksterman, tsn.ca

Cajones - is a spanish word for testicles (equivalent to English balls) Wikipedia

Ron Wilson

Now isn't it time to fire the coach or make him a scout?

They traded away the vast array of scorers traded bigger players for under 6ft and they just don;t cut it and rather than trading everybody it's time to fire the coach.

Throw Wilson under the bus.

BroadStreetBully, sportsnet.ca

Or make him a scout....

GM 101

they should resign downs, sign dan wheeler, and go trade for a closer

- leafsburke, sportsnet.ca

Could you please just stick to the Leafs.

GM 101

Send Kadri back to Guantanamo Bay.

- E.M, globeandmail.com

Ladies and Gentlemen, Glenn Beck is a Leafs Fan!

GM 101

Personally, I think Burke should stop parsing his words, and make a trade. A big one. Not for picks...but identify a couple of young guys that are pulling alone...and get a hard nosed vet that will come in and kick some "me first" tushies.

Heck, Bill Guerin and Owen Nolan are still waiting for a deal right?

- dan vanman

An underrated rebuilding strategy.

Husband 101

this is exactly the result of you pussys allowing your socalled intelligent wifes to cuddle & smother little cry baby johnny after a bad game growing up,just to keep peace and shut her up.end result..a bunch of spineless,,,,i dont have to listen & do what he tells me.telling my mom on you.$#!! honest to god....just do what the coach says,and things will show rewards.and it is sad that we had to scrape the $#!! off my boots for a coach& manager south of the boarder.even an a$#hole like ballard did better.we leaf fans truly are the best,,never giving up.teach your boys to grow a pair.that includes the wife who thinks she knows whats best,only to hear herself speak.

Cruz, sporsnet.ca

I can't tell if he hates husbands or wives more.....
