Kevin,

I felt you might get a kick out of this little piece. It has an important message for everyone. Let me know what you think of it in the comments section.

Are the 2009-10 Philadelphia Flyers shaping up to follow in the footsteps of the Broad Street Bullies?

Hey Kevin,

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Kevin,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks for the Pick of the Day Kevin and thanks for the praise. Your stuff is really good as well. I noticed in the play by play that you wrote a prospect profile on Artem Anisimov but it seems that you haven't published it yet because the link sends me to your Radulov article but I can't wait to read it.

The Ducks should recover will, but i think the Stars are the team to beat. Columbus may finally make the playoffs. I think the old trend of the Western Conference being stronger will be made again this year. Your Rangers could make a deep run though. Maybe a top three spot. I think top three in the West will be Detroit, Dallas, and the northwest will be a joke but probably Calgary. I don't think Detroit will repeat though, it'll be a Pacific Division team, i think the Pac is the strongest division in hockey.

Added, you and Greg will make a great team of writers for the NYR. That section is really growing on Br, its exciting.
