Take Me Out To The First Ball Game
If you like baseball, history or both, you’ll probably enjoy this long but worth it piece from Mental Floss. Remembering the First Opening Day at Four Iconic Ballparks It looks at the beginnings of Fenway Park, Ebbets Field (the most famous home of the Brooklyn Dodgers), Weeghman Park (now Wrigley Field) and the old Yankee …
Some Thoughts On Blue Jays Opening Day
So…here we are. The Blue Jays play their first real game of the year today. As years go, this is going to be…a year. I of course have my mandatory opening day optimism, but I seriously can’t get a handle on what my expectations should be. On one hand this team looks an awful lot …
George Stroumboulopoulos On Hockey Night In Canada Probably Isn’t The End Of The World
There’s been a lot of negative reaction to the announcement this week that George Stroumboulopoulos will be the new host of Hockey Night in Canada starting next season when Rogers takes over the rights to all things NHL in Canada. That deal never should have been allowed by the way, since the marriage of Rogers …
Of Course Opening Day Should Be A Holiday. Why Is This Even A Question?
So here’s a stupid question. Does the return of baseball deserve its own holiday? Are bears Catholic? Does the Pope shit in the woods? Of course opening day should be a holiday! I’d also suggest we make holidays out of the start of NHL and CFL seasons while we’re at it. It’s not like me …

CBC’s Olympics App Isn’t Too Shabby With Voiceover
I was just thinking about how odd it is that we’re 5 days into the Olympics and I have yet to say a word about them here. I’ve been keeping up as best I can, but we’re still functioning on one computer for now so my time for writing quickly on a full keyboard is …

A Dangerous Idea
Here’s something or other From Gill. Sort of reminds me of that sorry attempt by Pepsi and Hockey Canada to get us all excited by Cheer Nation, including chanting “Eh! O’ Canada Go!” Remember that? Some asshole actually submitted that entry and won a contest with it, if memory serves. Thankfully most Canadians appear to …
If You Can, Help Our Friend Ro Go On A Baseball Vacation
Some of you may be familiar with our friend Ro. If you aren’t, you should head over to her blog and get to know her. She’s pretty neat. To get you started, here’s her story. I’m not the type who cares all that much for tagging another human being an inspiration since that word gets …
