First complete and utter failure to even move the spare parts at the trade deadline, and now this… we better get on the board soon, I’d hate to be shut out by RA Dickey…

OT - Olympic Basketball

anybody watching us warm up vs. Turkey

I think those guys fear LeBron – he’s scary intimidating – they just grabbed him around the waist in the open court to prevent him from going coast to coast and dunking on their teammate

This disaster is my fault

Since this game represents the worst that could realistically happen to a Rangers’ team (or maybe not, really), I checked my horoscope for the day. Get this:

Cancer
Something shocking and a bit outrageous is going to happen today, and you need to be prepared for it. When it happens, don’t react. Stop everything just for a moment and review the situation thoroughly. It is not what it looks like at first glance, so if you give in to a knee-jerk reaction now, you will be regretting it in a big way later on. Be objective, be analytical and be cautious, today. Don’t let yourself get caught up in irrational emotions or fear.

How appropriate!

My horoscope for today
If things seem overwhelming or unpleasant, remember that this situation won’t last forever. You’ve got plenty of reserves still untapped, so keep pushing until you break through to the other side.

I don’t really believe in that stuff, but that is oddly dead on…

You know, I've never felt good about my horoscope.

Me: “Cancer.”

My Horoscope:

Pisces February 19 – March 20
Despite the promise of a new car, an all-expense-paid trip to Greece, and a four-piece living room set, you’ll once again go for the box with the question mark on it.

Informal poll

who really thinks the Rangers are a playoff caliber team?

I get the feeling if they some how magically won the wild card they would shit themselves 4 games in row and embarrass the whole franchise

I just don’t see this team competing when it counts
