good to see upsets in night one of the playoffs. not sure if that will happen tonight though. I'll be watching the Canucks tonight if i can stay awake. already into beer #2 (post-work beers)

speaking of marlins, i need Josh Johnson to have to big day today vs the Reds. Go Fish!

yeah i saw them at the Metro in Chicago in 1998, probably played like 30 songs. crazy time.

welcome to the club. you should have seen them live back in the day, awesome time! total bar band, loose, crazy set.

how cool was it for Philly to get to the playoffs in a shoot out win?!?! im not a big fan of the Flyers, dont hate them, but i think that is cool. it verifies the excitement of having a shootout.

SJ over COL 4-3, SJ will begin the choking but slightly get past COL CHI over NSH 4-2 VAN over LA 4-2 DET over PHX, Howard vs Bryz, I'll take Howard WSH over MTL 4-0 NJ over PHI 4-2 BUF over BOS, Miller gets back to Olympic form PIT over OTT 4-3, OTT is on a roll, make it tough for PIT -- Happy for Sedin that he got the Art Ross, what a year, 112 points!

it was very apparent right after the start that this was a "JV" game. no worries. I was excited for the matchup of a possible playoff matchup. Canucks will be tough in playoffs. as far as injuries and soreness, that is probably most teams right now. Usually the last week of NHL play out like this where guys sit and rest. i think i forgot about it when i got the game on my computer last night. -- anyway, NCAA Hockey, the rematch is set, Wisconsin vs Boston College, UW beat BC in '06 for the title. GO BUCKY! GO BIG RED!!

hey cowboy poet, ive totally come around, kesler!, sedin, sedin, wellwood, ehrhoff, burrows!, grabner, raymond, samuelsson, salo, LU! i love them all! well, i loved them back in the day, bure, naslund, bertuzzi, morrisson, cloutier..... wish i was in vancouver right now..... edit: wish again, 3-0 sharks in middle of 2nd period, ouch!

pucked just dropped, im totally pumped for CANUCKS VS SHARKS!!!!

funny stuff Mr. Kinsley!!

i mean i like it but the version with jay was different/better.

this song was so much better with Jay Bennett

i thought the writings on the bottle would mention the band wilco but it doesnt. so is it a coincedence?

now im wishing a bought a ticket to one of these shows OR that they played in midwest

oh yeah this is a great version

mike doesnt exist

educate the fans, jeff on what song is on what record.

i was at the Brewers Home Opener vs the Rockies. The Rockies are scary good. Ubaldo Jimenez is also scary good. throwing 95-98 on the black pretty much his entire outing for 7 innings. watch out for the Rockies.

oh im sorry, then yes you ARE correct ! i agree, quite golden!

i like your Stanley Cup prediction meaning I like that you put Vancouver in there. It would be tough to get past Chicago and San Jose but we know SJ chokes in playoffs and Chicago doesnt have a great goaltender. the 'Nucks have good offense and defense and Lu will probably straighten out soon. so good prediction. I'll predict. Washington vs Chicago. Washington in 5. Chicago will take most series to 7 games as goaltending will be their down fall but their offense keeps them in it. They'll be beat up more than the Caps by the start of Cup and the Caps will bring the bruises. **My favorite

i know you are a fan, but i dont agree that he is the 'most golden goalie.' just my opinion.

Lu gives up 8 goals, seriously? what is up with this guy?

a lot of people dont go to shows for the music. people go there to socialize because maybe it is the "place to be for that night." so they talk and socialize and hit on people and drink and be loud and the music is only background noise. it is the same at sporting events. ever go to a game at Wrigley and sit in the bleachers? its not about watching baseball out there. I support Jeff on this one. edit: Hell, if people are going to talk during a Dylan performance, then they'll talk through any performance.

lots of writing from Wolfhunter (ryan) on RAA about the box set, Orion, Cardinals III/IV, Blackhole, interesting excited read. Im pumped up to hear new (old) music from him. Sorry i didnt paste his quotes.

i have to chime in and say that this is pretty cool. thanks wilco people
