I think you mean Carson Daly.

Yes, he was on TV every day.

 

[Comeds]

I miss Johnny Carson with his Tea Time Movie skits, comeds.

/Most of the youngsters thinking "Who's Johnny Carson?"

I do know about those. For most of the 80s my local NBC affiliate did not show The Tonight Show instead opting for sitcom reruns.

What a second half the Rangers are having, though. Gonna be a tough out in the playoffs.

That's the fireworks guy in Cleveland who just fired off the boomies after Alex Rios of the Royals homered.

D'oh

Yeah...but they're not the Mets...so we'll just ignore them.

Those Indians fans were pretty hard on the guy raining down the boos. Also, I hate AJ Pierzynski.

Rumblings of 07 starting to get louder for my Metropolitans.

read this and chuckled ... from the Guardians rugby world cup cdn team profile

If Crowley does call it quits, he will do so having overseen the emergence of some promising young talent, against the odds imposed by the domestic dominance of the great god hockey

If the Jays go on a deep playoff run, there's a possibility two more Argos home games will need to be moved out of the Rogers Centre.

Hey, why not move all Argos games out of the RC. While we're at it, let's move them out of the Greater Toronto Area, too!

He went too high...that's what makes that horrible. Taking out someone's feet, so they tumble? Okay, but taking out their knee? Thanks for putting a huge dent in the Pirates postseason.

I want one right in Coglan's helmet. F that mother F'r!!

Kang is probably done for the year. He couldn't even walk.

Dammit

Dammit

Best case: MCL only
Worst case: MCL, ACL, Medial meniscus

Either way...he's done for the year.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of Pirates fans, it's not as if the Cubs player went way out of the baseline to try to break up the double play (i.e. he was still within reach of the bag). That said, the slide was a little late and a tad high. Could Kang have done more to avoid contact, it's tough to say (the Cubs player was right on top of him).

/Just my 2 cents.

He didn't go way out of his way, but he did go out of his way to make sure he got him in the knee. Going in hard is fine, but the guy literally hit him in the worst possible spot. It's the equivalent to kneeing in hockey. Gonna make contact, decide to just throw your leg out there.

It certainly can be argued that he left his leg high on that slide. As evolver said, somebody is gonna get plunked.

Nope. Didn't, and won't, happen. Funny enough, I was/am mad enough about this to drop my "HBP is stupid" rule...hit the bastard...

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, but really, this guy is a dirty little shit.

Buster Posey and Scott Cousins: Chris Coghlan can commiserate with his Marlins teammate's plight

Chris Coghlan as a rookie in 2009 ended an opponent's season with a slide. Almost two years ago to the day, Coghlan slid into second base trying to break up a double play in a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Akinori Iwamura suffered a torn ligament in his left knee and missed the remainder of the season.

"Sure, it's come up," said Coghlan, who watched catcher Buster Posey fracture his left leg and sustain ligament damage on the collision with Cousins. "I talked to [Cousins] and sat next to him on the plane and got to share with him what happened. It's similar. It was my hometown team and a situation where you play the game hard and an injury happened.
