I know! Idiots. I do know that my one friend - who refused to buy anything (which infuriates me to no end) - doesn't back-up anything. I hope his iPod breaks.

I believe things such as iPods get lost and "fry" from time to time, so don't come crying to all your friends looking for free downloads when it happens. Keep the CDs. I have two friends that lost all their albums and now want a crack at my record collection. I told them to take a hike.

You could send down most of the Jays bullpen and they'd clear waivers.

Carlson was lights out last year. This year he's lights on.

I think I might masterson instead of watching the Jays game tonight.

Quinn's been accused of being a veterans-only coach, but I like that he coached two different levels of world junior teams between gigs. Good coach.

Drink some of Barrett's scotch before the show; you'll never know the difference.

And isn't "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" a John song?

Well, they are made to order.

I know and I wasn't.

It's already getting ugly.

And you have to throw these young pitchers to the wolves because there's no place to hide in the AL East. Baptism by fire.

Are you getting any Mulroney-style kickbacks for all these concert posts?

I've always hated Eck - and I hate him even more as an NESN colour commentator - but imagine what Red Sox fans would think if they tuned into a Blue Jays game voiced by Jamie Campbell? Anyway, the Jays better start to get it going. They haven't proven they can beat the Red Sox and Yankees so far, and I want them to smash those fucking pieces of shit.

TSN2 is broadcasting tonight's game in HD on 501, an HD preview channel. I'm not sure if this is the same for the GTA or you folks in Eastern Ontario.

Only for a little while. In T.O., you can watch TSN2 on 59 and 1.

I never knew him as much of an outside shooter. He had good paint-game though.

What channel is HD-TSN2 in the Toronto area? Is there even a spot for on the dial for it yet?

I hope it's funnier than this miss more than hit season of the Family Guy.

Anyone know what channel is Rogers TSN2-HD? I already know what the digital and analog channels are: 59, 1 and 98. Although, is 98 the HD channel? Basher, get on this.

Star Trek IV is dated, V sucks, VI is very good and the first three are good to great (The Motion Picture is a good film as long as it's the Robert Wise director's cut). Wise wanted the film to be cerebral instead of a shoot 'em up, but it was marketed as the latter. Plus, he had a severely limited budget plus meddling hands from the producers.

2 games of non-clutch hitting playing their first series against a division rival at home.

I find this really sad. If you are a fan of basketball, especially in the 80s and 90s, then you'll know Waymon Tisdale. He was one of the NCAA's best-ever players and was a decent NBA'er. I really liked his game at Oklahoma and when he played for the Suns. He later became a respected jazz bassist. R.I.P. Waymon. Former Oklahoma great Tisdale dies at 44 By MURRAY EVANS – 21 minutes ago Wayman Tisdale, a three-time All-American at Oklahoma who played 12 seasons in the NBA, died after a two-year battle with cancer. He was 44. Tisdale died Friday morning at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, hospital spokeswoman Joy McGill said. After three years at Oklahoma, Tisdale played in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns. The 6-foot-9 forward, with a soft left-handed touch on the court and a wide smile off it, averaged 15.3 points for his career. He was on the U.S. team that won the gold medal in the 1984 Olympics. After basketball, he became an award-winning jazz musician, with several albums making the top 10 on the Billboard charts. "Wayman Tisdale is one of the best people I have ever had the privilege of knowing," Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel said in a statement. "He had an incredible gift of making the people who came in contact with him feel incredibly special." Tisdale's death was announced on the Oklahoma Senate floor Friday by Senate Majority Leader Todd Lamb, who led the chamber in prayer. "Whether you're a Cowboy or a Sooner, Oklahoma has lost a great ambassador," Lamb said. "He was a gifted musician, a gifted athlete and he just wore that well wherever he went." The famously upbeat Tisdale learned he had cancerous cyst below his right knee after breaking his leg in a fall at his home in Los Angeles on Feb. 8, 2007. He said then he was fortunate to have discovered the cancer early. "Nothing can change me," Tisdale told The Associated Press last June. "You go through things. You don't change because things come in your life. You get better because things come in your life." His leg was amputated last August and a prosthetic leg that he wore was crimson, one of the colors of his beloved Oklahoma Sooners. He made a handful of public appearances in recent weeks, including one April 7 at an Oklahoma City Thunder game where he received the team's Community Hero Award. Also within the past month, Tisdale was honored at the Greenwood Cultural Center in his hometown of Tulsa and presented with the Legacy Award. During the ceremony, he spoke about his cancer, saying "In my mind, I've beaten it." Last month, Tisdale was chosen for induction into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. He was the first freshman to be a first-team All-American since freshmen were allowed to play again in 1971-72. He was also one of 10 three-time All-Americans: The others were Oscar Robertson, Bill Walton, Lew Alcindor, Pete Maravich, Patrick Ewing, Tom Gola, Jerry Lucas, David Thompson and Ralph Sampson. Ewing and Tisdale were the last to accomplish the feat, from 1983-85. Tisdale played on an Olympic team that sailed to the gold medal in Los Angeles, winning its game by 32 points. The squad was coached by Bob Knight and featured the likes of Ewing, Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins and Chris Mullin. Tisdale averaged 25.6 points and 10.1 rebounds during his three seasons with the Sooners, earning Big Eight Conference player of the year each season. He still holds Oklahoma's career scoring record with 2,661 points and career rebounding record with 1,048. Tisdale also owns the school's single-game scoring mark, a 61-point outing against Texas-San Antonio as a sophomore, along with career records in points per game, field goals and free throws made and attempts. In 1997, Tisdale became the first Oklahoma player in any sport to have his jersey number retired. Two years ago, then-freshman Blake Griffin asked Tisdale for permission to wear No. 23, which Tisdale granted. Griffin went on to become the consensus national player of the year this past season as a sophomore. "His basketball talent and accomplishments pale in comparison to the impact he had on the lives that he influenced by the way he lived his life, and the tremendous character he displayed in his fight with cancer," Capel said. "Throughout it all, he always had that infectious smile. This is an incredibly sad day as we have lost not only one of the greatest Sooners ever, but one of the all-time best people to walk the face of this earth." Tisdale is survived by his wife, Regina, and four children.

I defy anyone to find this not funny:

Here we go again...
