I could have told you the outcome before it started.

I guess they need it for stats and stuff!

It's kind of funny. Pittsburgh scored three, then just quit. It's
like a giant holding the head of a midget who's trying to punch him.
If the midget ever actually manages to land a blow (the Rangers score
a goal) then the giant will just pound the midget down for a few more
minutes, then go back to taunting him.

They played hard for 50 minutes on Sunday.

That's almost three games worth of showing up.

Well they may come back and win this game but then I may also win the
lottery.

With that said, there have been many games in the past where I've felt
the Rangers had no chance going in. But this is the quickest I ever
felt that a game was over after it started.

At least Shanny was able to convince Renney to let him play even though he
should have known better... and got injured as a result of poor decision
making.

Shanny was scratched.

When I first read the above, I thought it was IommiDROOLS. Then I
realized it was too grammatically correct to be him. Then I, too,
thought it was Bender after a loss, but realized it was too optimistic
to be so. Finally, I realized it was just Renneybot and, like the
Rangers players, tuned it out.

This may explain Renney's coaching style if all he does is spout Bible
quotes and the like during intermissions. I feel the players may be
confused as to what he is trying to communicate, while a potential
translation issue between him and the European members could prevent
them from pointing it out to Sather. If so, it's no surprise that the
one Mexican on the club is doing well.

Now, I understand Sather had him built, so I'm wondering if the quotes
are by design or a malfunction. Has he been struck by lightning? If
so, and has attained independent thought, only two possibilities can
occur: he's become a lovable, child-like being experiencing the world
for the first time, or a vicious creation who has deemed humanity too
sick to survive.

You could pull the plug, but Judgment Day is inevitable.

Signed,
R.J.
