Last night was another Red Sox victory over the Yankees and something of a hint how they may actually play into October. The nibling grinding pitcher Byrd held them at bay with his masterful 88 mph "fast"ball. The guy who never could replace Manny got 4 RBIs. This quote is from the game before but …

You knew it was coming. Usually it doesn't start up until the second week. But accusations are now flying, claiming that the reason Canada has no medals in the Olympics yet is due to the fact that our "sport spending" falls short: • "Why are they so good?" Diving Canada technical director Mitch …
Friday Bullets For The Week Your Life Changed Forever!

OK, it didn't change. It's pretty much the same as last week - but it is really like that week twenty-seven weeks back if you think about it. It's kinda eerie when you think about it like that. Or mid-May 2005. It's like that, too. Weird: • Georgian military update: Castle Aaarrgh knows all.Best …
Baywatch: What A Way To Enter Fenway

Get traded for on the of the greatest Red Sox players of all time and win the game single handed. Not a bad way to start for Jason Bay. Every play he made we (and the crowd at Boston no doubt) thought "Manny wouldn't have done that". Best was the way doubles were triples with plenty of time to …
Friday Bullets For The First Of August

Can you believe it's August already? Can you believe the decade is almost over? This is crazy. Who sped up the clock? August is a month that is quite remarkable for standing for not much. Has anything remarkable happened in August? Here is a list of things that happened on this date. Hey, in 860 …
Is It Really Time To Trade Manny???

Last night's 1-0 defeat to the Yankees was capped off with an outraged Mike Lowell jumping up and down in the ninth after being called out on a pitch that was so far inside and so high that, given earlier events of the day, it could have been the cause of a beanball warning rather than a strike …
How Does A Turn Around Occur?

Now that we are in the All-Star break, there is a moment to reflect upon how great baseball is. Consider, as you should, the AL East alone. There are moments like the Blue Jay's game on Friday night where Dr. Roy earned Jeter's nomination as the best starter in baseball - despite being on the …
Your Friday Bullets For Mid-Early July

Part of the problem is that all the interesting stuff happens at work and I don't write about that. Add to that getting up at 7:53 am so it ain't going to be exactly an epic one today: • It appears the Argos suck again.I can't believe Vatican Radio is not tuning a profit.Read this ruling …
CFL Fever Gripping My Life

I hereby promise to watch CFL this season. You should too. We can spend a whole year CFL-esque, between now and when the snow flies freezing SEC-grad second stringers as Calgary plays BC in the western semi-final. Here are some of the things I note surrounding my renewed CFL interest: • Because …

Begone, little man in blue who is in the midst of losing embarrassingly!! • Did you see? I saw because I took a two hour holiday at the end of Friday to ensure there was no way I would miss it. I didn't wear orange and I drank German beer but I was back in the arms of the great liberal republic …
