PrintGrission doesn't take days off:
Inspired by Jason Bay's arrival, the U.S.-Canada hockey rivalry is in full force in the Mets clubhouse. Players are gathering this afternoon at a nearby establishment to watch.

There's only one other Canadian in the clubhouse, Shawn Bowman, and he's not in position to share responsibility for a Team Canada loss. "I'd have to call mom for a loan," Bowman said.

Outstanding.
If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
According to the fine print of his contract
Cora’s paying for this triggered his option.

But if the US won
would that trigger Bay’s vesting option?

The 2010 New York Mets: Maybe it's the Phillies' turn to have 95% of its roster on the DL
The 2009 New England Patriots: At least we got our division title back
The 2009-10 New Jersey Devils: Allergic to second periods
Reminds me of The Dugout
Pre-Fanhouse. Minus the byzantine running jokes and pro wrestling references, of course.

IF you see a opportunity you take the opportunity

The men, who have a bet of sorts on the outcome of the game, display a different range of emotions at the events that occur during the game.
I honestly don’t get what it is you don’t get about this.

Yes, I get that. What I don't get is how it's comical; that's the problem.

That might explain some things, then.
