Tweet Ten Predictions for the 2011 MLB Season

Special Baseball edition of the Tweet Ten-Yeah...I can make fun of Baseball players too.

10. Manny Ramirez will show up to White Sox opening day because even he forgot he signed with the Rays.

9.Jose Bautista will not repeat his dream season due to the fact that Vernon Wells is no longer around to give him his special 'power bars'

8.Tim Lincecum will finally get all those jokes everyone keeps making about his last name. OR: Similar to the Mitchell Report-Tim Lincecum will release a list of every player he has ever smoked up with.

7. To make a statement, 20,000 Expos fans will head to DC to make their presence known at a Nationals game-5,000 will instantly head home due to the fact that it's not 1$ hot dog night.

6.After years of decision making, Phil Coke will sign a sponsorship deal with Coca Cola, who narrowly beat out the entire country of Columbia.

5.To outdo the Yankees, the Rays will make Johnny Damon shave all of his body hair right before his first at bat.

4.After an off-season of English lessons, the Yankees second baseman will let everyone know that his last name is actually pronounced 'Canoe'

3. Due to pressure from the front office Ron Halliday will get his PhD-adhering to the Phillies' 'literal nickname' policy.

2. Albert Pujols will cause an uproar when he gets rid of his batting gloves and starts using the 'Moises Alou Method' for grip.

1.The MLB will retire Youppi's Exclamation Mark.

Not so Habs Laughs-Max Pacioretty edition

If you’ve been following me for the past year and a bit you know that I never stray into the analytical side of things. I like to leave the commentary to the experts and choose to take a comedic approach to the Montreal Canadiens and the NHL as a whole.

I am going to post my thoughts on the Chara/Pacioretty incident and just this once cross over into the more serious side of blogging.

By now you have seen the hit from every angle; I am not going to talk about the hit.

I am going to talk about the result; I am going to talk about the health of Max Pacioretty.

What bothers me about the verdict that the NHL passed on to Chara is simply based on the fact that Max Pacioretty is still in the hospital. He will undergo serious therapy for the coming months, and will most likely never be the same player and person once he has ‘recovered’ from this ordeal. Zdeno Chara will continue on with his life as if nothing happened.

As far as I know Zdeno Chara never apologized for the incident. He stated that the incident was ‘unfortunate’, which is in no way shape or form an apology. I have no relationship with Zdeno Chara, I don’t know what he is like away from a Hockey rink, but I hope to God that he is losing sleep over this situation.

Zdeno Chara put a 23 year old kid who was just breaking into the NHL in the hospital. Whether or not it was done with intent is debatable, but at the end of the day whether or not Max Pacioretty plays another Hockey game is still in question.

I feel terrible for Max Pacioretty. I feel cheated the Zdeno Chara’s actions went unpunished-not because of the intent, but because of the result. Not from a Hockey perspective, but from a personal perspective. I’m not going to get into how the NHL justice system works; I am just stating that as a human being I feel like Zdeno Chara NEEDS to experience consequences for his actions.

I know life isn’t fair, and Zdeno Chara being able to celebrate with his teammates after goals, after winning games, after winning playoff rounds…is simply the height of unfairness.

Did the NHL drop the ball by not giving Chara any kind of punishment? I’ll leave that to the experts, I simply cannot give an objective opinion on the matter.

I know the NHL cannot give suspensions based on the fact that it is ‘the right thing to do’, but Max Pacioretty will never be the same again and it is Zdeno Chara’s fault.

Regardless of intent.

Go Max Pacioretty Go

Tweet Ten other things you didn't know about Hal Gill.

Before we get into things-good vibes for Max Pacioretty.

Holy Crap-Hal Gill is a sniper! Here are some other things you didn't know about him.

10. Frequently uses Scott Gomez as a pillow.

9. Does not know why the team is called the Sabres, but their logo is a Buffalo.

8. His family pressured him to be a basketball player, but stereotypically; he can’t jump.

7. Thinks that P.K. stands for ‘Pretty Kool’

6. Still a firm believer that Zdeno Chara is some kind of mythical creature.

5. Has no idea why God frequently announces updates during games.

4. Used Pierre McGuire as a Q-tip once.

3. The King’s Speech is loosely based off of Hal Gill’s life.

2. Does both voices in the Dagwoods 5 after 5 commercial. True story.

1. Thinks that ‘Titanic’ is a documentary.
