    NHL and the Swedes?

    While I do agree that the Europeans and maybe the Swedes in particular have encumbered the game between the blue-lines, (except for Borgia Salming) it was some coaches in the NHL that perfected it to such a quick sand-like quagmire. Thanks, New Jersey Devils. Peter Forsberg played the game in a...

    Navy on Yorktown: Fix it or junk it

    That's the trouble with today's economy,there is just not enough money.I think we need to put what resources we have into maintaining what we already have even though there are so many ships that should have been,could have been saved.Maybe we can convert some into office space,schools,community...

    Baseball playoffs

    For all but 4 teams......Great game last night....Dodgers with 14 hits but left too many on base,Phillies misses a couple opportunities to end innings.Dodgers came out aggressive,Phils did not,but their patience held out while the Dodgers lost theirs.Looks like it will come down to the managers...

    Baseball playoffs

    If we get past the Dodgers,which I think we will[but anything can happen in the playoffs]I would rather play the Angels with whom I feel we have a better chance of beating,but I don't think they will be able to get past the Yankees.So,I'm thinking a Phillies-Yankees WS......
