BADNESS
Todd Bertuzzi has had his hearing at the NHL offices in Toronto and the decision on his fate will come down on Thursday. The penalty will be for a verrrry long time. I can't believe I hadn't stumbled on it earlier, but Alanah and Jeff at Vancouver Canucks Op Ed have a good thing going. Today, they post that Todd Bertuzzi is solely responsible for hurting Steve Moore. But he wasn't solely responsible for all the crap that built up to that incident. They manage to touch on some factors that I'd never thought about, like why the two players were even on the ice in that stage of the game in the first place.
Also in the realm of bad, I'll just advise everybody that if you come within sight of Karim Garcia, just drop everything and run really far, really fast. After giving statements to police regarding a charge of battery against a pizza delivery man (who probably ragged on Garcia and Spencer because they're with the Mets instead of the Yankees now, haha), Garcia managed to hit a batting practice homer that conked a 60-year-old man in the head. Later, teammate Jose Reyes hooked a foul ball that shattered the right rear window of Garcia's Hummer. All of this happened in the same day.
Oh yeah, something I forgot to mention earlier...who the hell decided to give Hiram Bocachica number 44? I swear if he makes it on the roster and we have to see that guy wearing 44, we should all stage a massive puking session at the bronze hole-in-glove statue by the northwest gate at the Safe.
