Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

Colby Armstrong Will Now Be Referred to as "Jim Thome"

The Maple Leafs have confirmed that  @armdog is Colby Armstrong's official Twitter account. His last tweet is about how excited he is to be in Toronto but the two before that remind me an awful lot of someone:

Just got a new droi

And that someone is baseball legend Jim Thome.

As a person from the walleye capital of the Midwest (Toledo, OH), I assure you there is no such thing as having too much walleye on a stick.

Agreed. Confusing, AND apparently an obscure reference to a completely different sport. It seems weaksauce as a meme.

i get all my baseball content from the alternate universe where
- the jays didnt dump delgado
- wells never sucked for 4 years
- rios didnt become a dick right when we needed him to be good (and was actually so good we convinced the giants to trade lincecum for glaus)
- the doc’s clinic is still open for business in toronto

also, eyebeleaf is the archduke of this alternate uni.

probably had Kerry Fraser find an excellent optometrist as a young man, and Mike Harris become a janitor at the local school.

nope

kerry fraser dies by drowning in a tub of mousse.

also: when wayne gretzky is nearing retirement and wants to play in the city he idolized and with whom his dad still has season tickets, they FUCKING SIGN WAYNE GRETZKY and his final 249 pts (in 3 seasons!) don’t come with the damn rangers.
fun fact: his last three seasons, on the leafs, would have been good enough for 1st (97), 1st (90), and 3rd (62) in team scoring. what? we didn’t make the playoffs two of those years? thank you stavro…
