IF Yunel stays it'll be at 2nd. The guy is a big(ish) guy who should be able to hit for power - but has been trained since being a wee one to to a slap hitter. Now the guy is just plain fu*ked up - neither fish nor fowl.<br /><br />The 2010 year by Lind AND Hill is really scary. The in place core of the "Future" was to be Lind, Hill, Snider and the Young Pitchers. If 2011 doesn't see Lind and Hill rebound - a lot - and Snider - given a full year in LF - blossom - then the "Future" looks to be too fu*kin' much like the past for my liking.<br /><br />Go rebound!Mylegacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11532592953744479060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-40705170005924361962010-12-03T15:07:12.133-05:002010-12-03T15:07:12.133-05:00Australian wine!

Make sure you do a day in the Barossa (Kellermeister's chocolate-infused port, Sable, is a personal fave - bring me back a bottle?), a day in the McLaren Vale (d'Arenberg makes fantastic wines, especially the not-available-in-Canada Peppermint Paddock; and there was this fantastic family winery that made a beautiful rose petal wine but damned if I can find them on the internet), and a day in the Yarra Valley. My favourite wine ever is DeBortoli's Noble One.<br /><br />But yes, there are a few good Canadian reds.MK Piatkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511609130026573793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-9330591714105168242010-12-03T14:51:02.149-05:002010-12-03T14:51:02.149-05:00Not that I'm down on all Canuck wine: Southbro...Not that I'm down on all Canuck wine: Southbrook Fume Blanc is a great bottle of wine.Drew GROFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709048217415264981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-75363383829067955942010-12-03T14:08:03.213-05:002010-12-03T14:08:03.213-05:00Oddly, I think getting JP out of town allowed Grif...Oddly, I think getting JP out of town allowed Griff to chill out and start talking baseball again as opposed to rehashing whatever bad blood he had for the then Jays GM. <br /><br />I wouldn't say that Griff was my favorite this year, but I certainly found a lot more of interest in what he wrote.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-79953883715974802862010-12-03T13:44:58.198-05:002010-12-03T13:44:58.198-05:00Please let me know when the change happens - Griff...Please let me know when the change happens - Griff answering Griff's Mailbag makes me want to throw up..... although after a year he finally and hardly ever mentions JP anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-53922034861694795282010-12-03T13:17:14.857-05:002010-12-03T13:17:14.857-05:00I think the jays will regress a bit next year, but...I think the jays will regress a bit next year, but like the Tao said, its all part of a larger, long term plan.<br /><br />A good rule of thumb for canadian wine: for red stay with BC, whites (rieslings) from Ontario.<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-5531504643658139822010-12-03T12:50:56.212-05:002010-12-03T12:50:56.212-05:00I'm not a big fan of Canadian wines myself, ho...I'm not a big fan of Canadian wines myself, however, <a href="http://www.konzelmann.ca/" rel="nofollow">Konzelman</a> wines are pretty damn good, and yes, their baco noir is the best I have ever had, but unfortunately is only available at their winery (as far as I know)Peter DeMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025682416268680287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-78495250959360377742010-12-03T12:26:26.610-05:002010-12-03T12:26:26.610-05:00Hillebrand
