  1. "Merry" Christmas..... https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/05/business/better-ceo-fires-employees/index.html
  2. Thanks King, I'm expecting at least one more mediocre year, (by Sooners' standards anyway) as their starting QB is a Freshman and according to reports, they lost several recruits after Riley jumped ship.
  3. I feel a bit bad for Travis, but something had to be done and you can't fire all of the players. Hopefully BB can light a fire under Petey and Brock. I don't know what he can do about the PK, although I thought they were doing better last night, at least until someone broke a stick, or they went down two men. To me, it boils down to being more aggressive on the PK. It's when they sit back and let the opposition throw it around that they get into trouble. Juice mentioned it last night. (Can't remember the exact word he used, but it was similar to lethargic)
  4. Pretty exciting ending in the Winnipeg - Saskatchewan game. Although I didn't have a dog in the fight, I was glad to see the Bombers get the defensive stop on the final drive....the long pass on 3rd down previously should have been ruled incomplete, as it hit the ground. I can't really blame the replay official as there wasn't 100% evidence to overturn, but the wrong call was made in real time. Also nice to see the Ti-Cats beat Toronto, after the league bent the rules to help the Argos out.
  5. 'Grats to the Lions for finally getting a W....
  6. Hmmmm....hard to imagine a cosmopolitan city like Sudbury raising their kids to be anti-science and conspiratorial....
  7. https://donate.redcross.ca/page/94172/donate/1?locale=en-CA Appreciate the gesture, B.....
  8. I'd find it difficult to feel sorry for him.... ....and impossible, if he played for the Flames....
  9. Boy George, I think he's got it!
  10. Looks like Chris Taylor is off the board.... https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/report-dodgers-chris-taylor-in-agreement-on-new-deal/
  11. Probably just me, but I would have parted ways with Carroll after he called a pass to Lockette, instead of a run by Lynch....
  12. I'd much rather send Grichuk, (in fact I argued with someone about that during the season) but he probably makes too much money for Cleveland. If that deal could get it done, I'd be all over it...
  13. I'd love to see the Jays land Jose Ramirez in a trade. According to what I've read this off season, the Guardians are looking to cut payroll and have a need at catcher and outfield. I could see a deal that sends one of the Jays three catchers, plus Gurriel and a prospect....
  14. ....and some adults fit it better than others...
  15. Interesting fact about the Omicron variant. Up until now, they had been naming the variants after the letters in the Greek alphabet and in correct order. However, they skipped over 2 letters when naming the Omicron variant. Nu is a "whatever"....maybe they didn't want it sounding too much like "new"..... Still, skipping Xi, is another matter. Maybe that hits a little too close to home?
  16. I was just reading that. Apparently Carlos Baerga mentioned it on his Instagram. People are taking it seriously, because he called both the Yimi Garcia and Marcus Semien signings before they were made public. I also read that Freeman is looking for 6 years at 30 million per, which doesn't make a lot of sense for the Jays, especially considering they have Vladdy at 1st and a need for an infielder and a starter.... If I had to bet, I'd say Freddie stays in Atlanta, or gets an offer he can't refuse from the Dodgers....
  17. I wonder what Mark Recchi is doing these days....
  18. The sad part about this is that the town loses it's doctor, all because some anti-vax clown wrote Facebook post and some other clowns took it at face value. If I lived in that town, I'd be calling for this moron to resign.
  19. Yep. Sort of like Kike Hernandez, or Brock Holt. All from the Ben Zobrist mould.... I'd prefer a left handed bat, but you can't have everything...
  20. I'm reading today that the Jays are now focused on Chris Taylor and kicking the tires on Kris Bryant.
  21. You hit the nail on the head Brad.... Steve Phillips was on TSN last night and said exactly that. Apparently Ray's camp had indicated they wanted to wait to make their decision and the Jays decided they had to pull the trigger on the Gausman deal, or risk losing out on both. According to Phillips, Ray was their first choice, but Gausman was a very close second, so they feel like they accomplished what they set out to do, which was to sign a front of the rotation guy. On a side note, Gausman's split finger fastball was statistically the best pitch in baseball, getting more swings and misses (over 270) than any other pitch by any other pitcher. Excited to see him take the mound for the Jays....
  22. I'm guessing that will be the case. He did win a Gold Glove at the position....
  23. Looks like the Rangers are going for it. First they land Marcus Semien and now there are reports that they have agreed to a contract with Corey Seager for 10 years and 325 million....
  24. Hard to believe that the Jays wouldn't have given him that deal....maybe he didn't want to stay?
