Lose a half game to the A’s, Yanks get Gallo while preserving their major league roster, and another day off the schedule. Not the way I drew it up, except for the last part.
-
Surf’s up.
-
Not the end of the world... ...but you can see it from here.
-
Saucedo has done very well, actually. 12/4 K/BB and a 0.86 WHIP.
-
Mr. Springer, that was outstanding.
-
Bucked!
-
Certainly extenuating circumstances, but that’s three blown saves in a row for Jansen.

Follows it up with a three for four with two doubles. -
I believe I’ll dust my broom.

I think Springer is getting his timing back.

This is so much fun!

All is not right with the world, but this makes things just a little bit better. -
Best sweat I ever saw was from Vijay Singh. Playing in a Telus tourney for fun at a course I can’t remember. He was playing with Mike, Sergio, and Duval, the day after David he won the British Open. Duval was plastered, and who could blame him?
-
I am sorry, but Jansen has the worst BABIP ever. Cam’t buy a break.
-
Why do they put “America’s Got Talent” commercials on during the ball game? I mean, come on.
-
So they talked about shenanigans last night. As long as they don’t go off galavanting this evening, we should be OK. For the Gaelic crowd.

I’m in Mississauga. Got some great American neighbours here, cuz they let off the best backyard fireworks. Out on the balcony right now, watching them. And never so proud on Canada Day when in my thirty odd years of living here, the fireworks were the best ever. People spoke on that cancel Canada thing, and it was loud. And I am a liberal. Well done, neighbours.

Spank, you’ll get it. You’re a smart guy, and I’m not saying that facetiously (correct use of the word, BTW,) Obviously, I am not writing this clearly enough. For you. The American woman in the commercial knows f*** all about Canada. She has met one Canadian in her life. Not unusual for my American friends. Now she meets another, and because they are Canadians, assumes they know each other. f*** it, I give up.

According to the Gospel of Buck, the travails of SWR are the best thing ever. Gotta get beat up in the minors to make those in-game adjustments at the major league level. Hogwash. -
Our senses of humour are different, then. That was classic.
-
OK. Don’t remember the product, just the humour. Canadians were visiting down South, and met up with some Americans. When the American wife found out they were from Canada, that’s when she said “ Oh, you must know Gary, he’s from Winnipeg, he works in an office”. A riff on the ignorant American thing.
-
Do you know that old commercial, Spank? It was hilarious. The American woman had just the right accent, too.
-
Bluebombers, you must know Gary. He lives in Winnipeg. He works in an office.
-
It is a common answer. Crossword creators need lots of vowels to make the puzzle work, and “ Eeyore “ qualifies.
-
Eeyore often appears in crossword puzzles, if you are in to that type of thing. I am.
