What? No Friday Bullets For The First Of Yule???
Posted by on Friday, December 4, 2009 in - 2 comments
So late. So very late. If I were to get in the car right now it would be too late. • You know the curse is upon Tiger when Swedes mock - ""We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her."I had to de-Facebook someone who went on and on about how the …
Friday Bullets For The Week We Finally Did It
Posted by on Friday, November 20, 2009 in - 2 comments
We did it, right? Must have done something. Well, we learned that one day not that far from now we will not have to deal with Oprah. Could Dr. Phil maybe take the hint, too? • Henry may be an admitted cheat but Roy Keen is still a big doofus.Don't tell them we ate pumpkin like fools six weeks … read more »
Friday Bullets For Your Mid-November Joy
Posted by on Friday, November 13, 2009 in - leave a comment
Yippee! It's mid-November. The best time of the year. No sports of any consequence are being played, nature is slowly rotting all around you and the only thing to look forward to is sleet. CFL? What about the CFL? I haven't considered that a sport of consequence since the CFL let the Baltimore …
So How Much For Hallady From His Next Team
Posted by on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 in - 3 comments
There is little doubt that Mr. Halladay will never play for Toronto again. Perhaps the greatest pitcher to ever play in Canada is the best player out there this off season and who ever gets him moves to a new level given the chance on an even moderately well stocked team could see him winning 25 …
Friday Bullets For The Beginning of the Off Season
Posted by on Friday, November 6, 2009 in - 3 comments
No baseball and no elections. It is that time of the year when you have to make do and you have to make do with a toque on your head. I don't know if I am ready. It got so long for summer to get going. Now we wait for our winter of discontent. I have to put away the garden hose and bring out the …
Friday Bullets For That Aching Left Shoulder
Posted by on Friday, October 30, 2009 in - 6 comments
So we got the needle. We qualify for the early line up and the system worked pretty well though we did hit a rather sweet lull in the wait times. "Will we feel the pinch for long?" we ask. Pause. "You'll feel it, alright." I have a super noogie while others can't lift the arm over their head … read more »
Did You Know That The Yankees Lost Last Night?
Posted by on Thursday, October 29, 2009 in - leave a comment
What a game. Not a game to point and laugh over, not one to ask why the Yankees seized up over. One to sit in wonder before. That little thing Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee did with his middle finger? The behind the back catch? The "I'm just gonna stick my hand out for the pop fly" catch … read more »
An Update On This Sporting Season
Posted by on Monday, October 19, 2009 in - leave a comment
It has been an extraordinary time in my sporting life. Not that I am doing anything whatsoever but who does that any more at my age? People looking for knee replacements in their sixties, that's who: • Without me noticing, Morton seems to have picked up three wins and somehow found others below …
OK - Who To Back Now... Well, Watch At Least

I failed the Red Sox this weekend. I hardly watched at all as they got swept by the Angels. Sounds like when I watch next spring things may look quite different: • Speaking to reporters at Fenway Park, Epstein spoke bluntly about key areas that needed to be addressed and hinted he would like to …
Dang It! The Jays Finally Figured It Out
Posted by on Saturday, October 3, 2009 in - leave a comment
The greatest secret weapon relied upon by all other baseball teams against the Toronto Blue Jays has been done away with. Is Cito next? How long to the Oklahoma City Blue Jays? • Sunday Update: how telling is this? The final Blue Jays game is not on Rogers Sportsnet. Rogers owns the team. It is …
