There was a picture in Macleans of a Marlins game last year where there where literally 300+ fans at the game. Suprisingly, they still make a lot of cash.

Happy Birthday Cary! I hope your day is filled with fun and free of boston crabs stress.

Happy Birthday badams!

That was a good game. Too bad about the ending.

Dont you live in Hamilton?

A friend of mine won two tickets for Leaf's exhibition game - 26 rowes up - $191 a piece. EXHIBITION GAME!!!

Ill take em off your hands. If it'd make you feel any better.

A guy from work and I were just talking about the play...He swears he's seen teams do it before, even calling three time-outs in a row with no penalty...leads me to belive its a judgement call on the part of the ref. If thats the case, that ref is a jerk.

Im excited about the situation.

Oh hey, if you want to watch guys that actually have a slim chance in hell of making it somewhere, check out the Gee Gee's ball team. I worked with a guy who played there - they won Ontario's but lost to a school in NewBrunswick. Canadian College ball is getting a decent rep south of the border.

That really sucks. The stadium that the Vancouver Canadians played in was sweet too. Not to re-hash an old discussion, Im outta here in about 5 mins, but its just too bad more people (present company excepted, of course) dont support baseball in Canada. For whatever the reason.

Ya, your right. There was a guy here who played for the Kitchener Panthers who was hitting like .547 and had to quit cuz he got a new job! Should have thought of that..the travel. They could do a series at the end of the summer though, over 1 weekend/week...Top teams from each league square off... would be kind of cool. They could do their own fundraisng for it. I know theres a lot of pride from coast to coast when it comes to baseball. BC's got the bragging rights now...but it would be fun to see what would happen.

I found myself watching some games on TV this summer and the quality of baseball is just kinda poor. That, and the ump"s strike zones tend to be gigantic. Also, Jaimoe, Chrristy Pitts is a shitty field. I dont care how steeped in tradition it is, its fooking gravel for chrissakes. Ive played there many times and, honestly, theres about 11 fileds in Toronto that are at least 1 biliion times better for watching games. So ya, it would be hard to get excited about a new league. Now if they took this can-am league, merged it with the Intercounty League and had some kind of connection with the leagues west of the praries, it would be slightly more interestig to me.

Were you asking St Mountain or Bokonon? Cuz either way, Id say yes.

Stupid question, and you can answer me with as much disdain as you'd like, but, I was always under the impression that defense lawyers are supposed to act for the client regardless of the amount of faith they have in their clients case? At least, thats what TV has taught me.

Mine are much the same as everyone else's but I gotta add Robbie Krieger. He doent really get that much respect, but I love the shit that he does/did.

Yes, but how's the parking situation?

Sounds like a quitter to me! Two words: Lucky Lager.

My Parents got them in Etobicoke a couple of years ago and theyre quite useful. You dont really realize how much stuff goes to regular garbage (that doesnt need to) until you get the green box. I wish we had them in Waterloo!

Good job Badams!

I knew some dingleberry would try to correct me, shoulda figured it'd be you..... On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream. http://usacitylink.com/usa/

I guess Ill be the jerk to do it....Songs about birhtdays!!! 1. Soundgarden - 4th of July

You forgot Anna Nicole.

I think Ive seen that...I like when he ran up the wall too. The article is so right - hes got these legendary stories that can actually be backed up with footage so you almost have to believe the stories that havent been caught on camera. And who can forget his f'n running shoe? Man, middle school was rough in my crowd if you didnt have the bloody things.
