This is gold. Toronto probably doesn't even see it an an insult: • "This is a town where you have to produce and you have to play well in order for the fans to keep showing up," Halladay said. "We all know that. There's a correlation between what we do on the field and the fans in the seats. We …

Friday Friday Friday. Why did I start this bullets thing? It's a demand on me when I least need it. Friday is the new Saturday half-day, you know. Along with there being no jet pack in the yard, where did the four day week go? That was a promise, wasn't it? Computers and robots were supposed to be …

You could her it in the voice of the delegates from the moderately tyrannical military dictatorships. "But what about my delegation's champagne budget? What about our escorts? We can't be giving money away to athletes at a time like this!!!" What was all the fuss? • In an extraordinary move …

Like you I crap all over the Olympics and then I watch them wall to wall when they are on. I know. Sure there are tip pot dictators running the show but it's just sports, right? Seems like the next one is in Canada, well sort of, and is only months away. I say sort of because every other country …

We left when it was tied in the sixth due to yawning breaking out. But it was a good game and as swell a field as I ever saw. The park is recessed with street level in the outfield being beyond and above the fence. Another pennant for the collection. Another hat for my head.
