We are at RITTCON 5. #Isles

A mockup of the Defense Readiness Condition chart to assess how close we are to seeing David Rittich start a game for the New York Islanders:

Level 3: Readiness Elevated: Ilya Sorokin has started three games in a row or a back-to-back is imminent (yellow)

Level 2: Readiness Very Elevated: Ilya Sorokin has started four or more games in a row and/or given up 5 or more goals in the previous game (orange)

Level 1: Readiness Maximum: Ilya Sorokin is injured (red)

Yes, but what if you want to buy 10,000 bags of Cheetos?

I feel bad for my friends who are Yankees fans, but I really hope Michael Kay is miserable for the next 4 months.

The irony is that by me Tower was the cheapest of the chains. Record World/The Wall and Sam Goody were always at least 1 or 2 bucks more expensive per CD/cassette.

I don't hate this but New Era needs to cover all our mascots. Where's the Nyisles hat? Or Jon Ledecky? #Isles

OH GOD YES! I completely forgot about that one. I remember getting the GM disk from one of the kids at my summer camp and then spending the entire 1987 season meticulously updating the Mets' stats from the Sunday Newsday.

Just found a YouTube video and completely forgot that the lead play-by-play voice was Hockey Night in Canada's own Jim Hughson.

Both for the gameplay and the ad reads. Lobster Cola still lives in my brain almost 30 years later.

Account suspended within a few hours of kerry's post. So, yes, it turns out the mods *can* act on violations of the site's TOS after all.

Glad to see the mods are hard at work melting down over bullshit while this happens

It's the most wonderful time of year... if you don't have enochlophobia.

Yes, New York Comic Con.

And it's a special one for me as I have a rare signing for A HAUNTED GIRL with my daughter, Naomi, and artist and co-creator Marco Lorenzana.

$250 for David Gilmour in the upper bowl of Madison Square Garden was too much for me. I get the sinking feeling I'll be able to give another answer on Monday when Rush tickets go on sale...
