We've been working overtime to feed our family, which explains why we've been 60% less clever/engaged/present this week. Still, we managed to glean the following as the highlights of the last seven days.- Mickey Brantley is gone-zo, Alonzo.
- There's lots of consternation at Drunk Jays Fans about all of the leakage.
- Some Jays fans have turned to a life of crime to pay for one of those dugout level seats.
- Funny of the Week: Joanna at Hum and Chuck dropping Wooderson lines in a Brantley post.
- Frank Thomas will bring his enormous noggin to TBS, while Gregg Zaun may or may not bring his teeth to Sportsnet
- Maldonado Over Everything is in the middle of an amazing nerdfight with MSN's John Brattain. Brattain won't have any waistbands left on his undies if this keeps up.
- Old Man Gillick is retiring.
- Dick says: J.P. is W.

ReplyDeletePlease, the proper term is "coolness challenged."
(Pssst ... don't tell Razzer or Dr. K that I have a secret weapon--a state of the art draw-string).
If you're interested, "The Mockingbird" (Jonathan Hale) had a few well thought out posts discussing the other side of the debate. If you haven’t read it, you might wish to check it out.
For the record, I read most Blue Jays blogs and appreciate feedback (hint hint) especially if it offers an opposing view (tough to learn things from folks who agree with you). I actually mentioned Mockingbird and M.O.E. on the Hardball Times. They were kind enough to taking time to write counterarguments to my HT column for my readers (mom, my editor, my editor's therapist and somebody who mistakenly clicked the link thinking they were reading John Beamer's column).
Ah well, deep down we cheer for the same blue-feathered ball club.
The Tao of Stieb? That ain’t the Dave Stieb I remember.
Gotta run … mother’s calling and those stairs are murder because the basement is damp.
Best Regards
John

Oops. Sorry 'bout that. Some geek I am ... I can't even post without making a mess.
ReplyDeleteNo Ovaltine for me tonight ... no siree. That'll teach me for being so careless.
Please don't tell mom.
Best Regards
