Following a baseball team everywhere it goes for an entire season and writing a book about the experience seems like such an obvious idea once you hear it, so why has nobody come up with it or done it yet? I don’t know, but Neal Smith would like to, and he’d like your help. GRINDING …

The Jays Suck, Concerts Don’t And Wrestling Is Somewhere In Between
So here we are, nearly at the end of July. How the hell did that happen? I was talking to somebody the other day about how fast this year is going, and we agreed that while most years fly bye anymore, this one seems to be doing so even quicker than usual. Even though we’ve …

There’s Always Next Year, Part 45
Well, that was fun while it lasted. I fully expected to see at least one Leafs build up three goal lead, then blow three goal lead before losing probably in overtime game in this series. It’s Boston. that’s how it works. But if you told me that it would happen in game seven, I’d have …
For At Least Four Games, The Leafs Are In The Playoffs!
The Leafs are in the playoffs. No, future self skimming archives looking for things, you did not get that wrong. they’re in. for real. The last time this happened this place was less than a year old. This October it turns 10. So it’s been a long wait. and what has that long wait gotten …

Some Words For Jays Fans And Happy 30th Birthday, Lee Elia Flipping His Lid
So yeah. That stuff I said yesterday about heading outside to watch the Jays not get swept? It didn’t happen. The outside part happened and it was nice, but the fuckin’ Jays lost again. Worse yet, they lost a game they had won. That’s baseball though, I suppose. I guess it’s all sports really. the …

Stop Eatin’ And Abusin’ Those Energy Drinks, You Fat Bastard
If you listen to most of your Blue Jays games on the Fan like I do, you’ve probably heard those Harvey Brooker Weight Loss For Men commercials. We (especially Carin) have more to say about him whenever we actually do audio again, but right now I’d just like to point out that even after however …

Happy Blue Jays Opening Day, One And All!
I’ve been fairly quiet here lately, only popping in to post something quick now and then or to leave a comment on one of Carin’s guide dog training journal entries. Those entries are actually why I’ve been quiet. A lot of people are interested in them, many of whom aren’t regular readers. So I figured …

Bye Bye, Brian
Ok, NHL. You may have just broken me, ya bastard. All that stuff I said here and everywhere else about not watching a game for a long time when the lockout ends, while I really hope I can stick to it, just got a lot harder. Why? Well, because the Leafs just up and fired …
Tom Cheek, Hall Of Famer!
Today is a great day for Blue Jays fans. After years of campaigning especially by Mike Wilner, Tom Cheek has won the Ford C. Frick award and is now exactly where he belongs, the Hall of Fame! Even though he’s been gone for nearly 8 years, there’s still not a game that goes bye that …
Black Friday Body Count: More Riot Videos And A Mostly Unrelated Bit About The Grey Cup, Just Because I Can
To the list of those with a Black Friday riot video compilation we can now add Canoe. Some of these you may have already seen if you’ve been following along, but there’s some new stuff, like a couple of stampedes at Victoria’s Secret. Psssst, I know what the secret is, Victoria. Your customers are retarded. …
