Ball, Oilers, Laughter!

A little piece of me died last night.
I was playing slo-pitch in a beer league, my team is the Dirt Devils, and we are a semi-serious team. It was my 4th at bat of the game which is pretty good considering I was batting at the bottom of the order. The count was 3-0 and our team captain/coach/league president gave me the RED light. So for fear of pissing off my team mates I did not swing and 2 pitches later I walked for the first time in 7 years of playing Slo-Pitch. I didn't even swing the bat once in the 5 pitch at bat.
And to had injury to insult, I tore up my hamstring for the 1000th time on my 1st at bat of the game running out an infield single. For the rest of the game I was the DH and had to have a pinch runner. I should be able to go again on sunday and I guarentee I will not take a walk again. Gotta swing away in Slo-Pitch.
Back home with the Fog Duckers I would owe a 6 pack of beer for walking!

Rumours are starting to swirl about a few trades in the works for the Edmonton Oilers.
News released yesterday of Danny Heatley wanting a trade from Ottawa has some people suggesting that Edmonton could be his next home. I do not know if this is a good idea seeing as it would probably cost a top D-man and forward to obtain Heatley. It would be nice to see him in copper and blue tho!
Another rumour is that the Oilers may be able to trade up in the draft as high as a 2nd overall pick. This has me excited as the number 2 spot would be John Tavares seeing as the Islanders are telling the world they are picking Victor Hedman. Both the Lighting (number 2 overall) and Islanders (number 1) want Hedman so if he does go 1st then the Bolts will consider a trade.
How does this sound for a starting lineup this fall?

LW-Danny Heatley C-John Tavares RW-Ales Hemsky
D-Sheldon Souray D-Tom Gilbert
G-Dwanyne Roloson
I can see it now!!!!
