Evidently Matt Stairs is a hoser.

Read a nice article this morning about Toronto Blue Jay Left Fielder/DH Matt Stairs. He’s Canadian and from New Brunswick. At some point the reporter refers to him, in a reverent way, as a hoser.

It’s good to have that hoser on the Jays.

Snow that’s cinematic

I hate the winter*.

*But i have to admit that this morning i liked the snow that was falling in Toronto. The flakes were huge and fell slowly to the ground. It’s mild out, so there wasn’t any oppressive “wind chill”. And the snow is the kind that makes throwing snowballs fun. That all being said, i’m still looking forward to spring.

Riise!!!

Holy smoke. The man who recently received of a hit in the legs by a golf club by Craig Belamy – John Arne Riise -  just put Liverpool up 2-1.

If this continues i suggest Liverpool have some sort of Golf club swing down every week.

The Mo, the better

The more I hear from Toronto FC’s coach, Mo Johnston, the more I like him.

In an article on Toronto Sun.com  Mo says to the team “Get Better or Go HOme.”

Nice.

And on the cuts he’s made so far: “All the guys that were on trial never showed a lot,” Johnston said. “There was four or five of them. They just aren’t good enough.”

I like his attitude.  He wants to win. He’s good for Toronto.

Gone Tomorrow, Hero Today.

Last week, Liverpool forward Craig Bellamy hits hit teammate John Arne Riise in the legs with a golf club.

He’s to be fined, and accounts say his future with the club is “uncertain”.

(No pun on club intended.)

Today, however, Craig Bellamy just scored to tie Barcelona 1-1. The game is still going on, but i’m sure Liverpool supporters won’t be as sad to hear that the club wielding goon has given Liverpool life in the Champion’s League.

The FC take down “SoccerMax”

According to the Toronto FC website, the team has beaten a local Florida team called SoccerMax.

Like you, i have no idea what that means. SoccerMax? It could be anybody.

For all we know, it could be the same thing say if a team from the states came up here and beat a bunch of ‘ReMax” Real estate agents and report that they won a preseason game.

Way to beat those SoccerMax guys.

Still, it’s good to hear that they’re training in Florida where it’s warm(er) than Toronto.

Oh, and way to kick some SoccerMax ass!

And Mo, you signed Diplacido yet, or what?

Crappy “Bramton” Collectibles

We watched Hart’s War yesterday on the History Network.
What is is about movies on TV that suck you in? I mean, at one point i turned to my mom and said “you know, if we were watching this on DVD right now i’d probably stop it and watch it later.”

Anyhow, what made watching the movie HORRENDOUSLY LONG was all the crappy commercials that the HN (history netword) kept playing.

The worst were these two commercials for overpriced Dinky cars.

These “die cast” collectible cars and fire trucks were like $20… but hey, the commercial had you believe it was a $120 value.

And where could you send your COD?

“Bramton” Ontario.

Southpaw?

Looking at the Jays starting rotation and you see another hole left by the departure of Ted Lilly.

Chacin’s our only lefty.

Burnett, Halliday, Towers, Thomson, Zambrano – all righties.

We’re starting to look like the Red Sox.

Clog at the DVP

Where the 404 meets the 401 there’s always a clog of traffic. So much traffic that it wasn’t even mentioned on “traffic” radio – they mention all kinds of delays, but not that one.

I suppose it’s like people with a car on blocks on their front lawn; after a while they don’t notice it as out of the ordinary.

Clogged, on a sunday.
