How Many Habs Fans in Toronto and Scouting Pitchers

As much as playoff hockey can be truly exciting, I am a baseball fan at heart. With the exception of the half hour between 9:00 and 9:30pm (The Office), I was watching the Jays and Rays this evening.
I'll give the Jays this - they sure know how to run the bases this year. After last year's complete baserunning incompetence, that says something. The Jays also aren't too bad at preventing baserunning - much improved, at the least.

So there I was, on the 20th floor, watching the Jays in the process of dropping another game when a surge of exuberant voices rises up from the streets. The people have spoken. In a single voice. I checked on the First Game of the 2nd Round matchup between the Canadiens and the Flyers. As I suspected, the Habs had just scored. In fact, they had tied the game at 3 with under 30 seconds to go in the 3rd period. Kudos to Kovalev, I say.

Before I go watch the overtime, some comments on some of tonight's pitchers.

Dustin McGowan - I've read that he has no-hit stuff. For the first two innings tonight, I saw it. A Blow-it-by-them fastball and a hard curve gave him five strike outs in two innings. Then he lost his command and his control soon followed. He was lifted after loading the bags in the fifth, without recording an out. As of this writing, he is in line for the loss.

Andy Sonnanstine - the Rays starter on the night. Pitched a 3 hit shutout (the Yanks?) very recently. A young guy I hadn't heard much about until last year when he debuted with numbers that didn't quite say much about his ability, other then a very low walk rate. Watching him, I was baffled. He's lean. He has a drop and drive, mechanics seemed to use a lot of parts, not sure if he can repeat them for too long. Stay tuned.

Jesse Carlson - Absolutely love the slider spitting southpaw. I was sorry to see the Jays have to return Randy Wells to the Cubs, but Carlson has me captivated. Not much heat, but what movement on that pitch. I saw him pitch two extra innings against the Rangers last week and went back and checked his pitching via Pitchfx on mlb.com. I'll have to re-find the numbers to show how he dominated the Rangers (not the best hitting team, but anyway) using practically only the slider.

And as I wrote this, the Habs won in OT to take Game 1. How long are the intermissions between the 3rd and OT in the playoffs? 15 minutes? 17 minutes? Less?
