The Jays aren't looking for a closer for next year, so I guess they are stuck with him.

Ryan was not good with the first batter when he hit him and was ahead on the count. Rolen should have had the ball that went through his legs too. I don't know what the Jays are going to do with Ryan come next year. I wonder if they would have released and/or traded him this season if Accardo was healthy.

I thought Tabler made a good point last night when he mentioned that control is the last thing to come back after Tommy John surgery. This is the case with Ryan, who looked better than he has all year last night.

It's far beneath a discussion about 90210.

And no mention of Ollie? Well, I guess he's not worthy.

Ryan certainly makes winning 9 straight even more surprising - he creates all of his own stress and mess by coming in at the bottom or top of the 9th with the bases clear.

It's a press release though, so I think Allison is in the clear.

I have no problem with this decision. In fact, castration would suffice as well.

Long Live The O.C. and Jennie Garth's old face.

I'd love Argos tickets, but no can do this Friday. At least I'm not a Ticat fan.

The Jays-Sox game is on right now (they are doing a double-header today due to last night's rainout).

I do on and off work for the Toronto Enviromental Volunteers (TEV): http://www.toronto.ca/wes/techservices/involved/outreach/tev/index.htm

Glad you posted this. For some reason I thought the date was the 13th. Better change my hotel reservation. And Kanada Kev told me that it's SOLD OUT. I can't wait for the show!

As of yesterday, my very good friend was trying to get out of New Orleans - he's there at a book convention. I haven't heard any news whether he got out or not, but he was ordered to get on a flight last night.

R.I.P. to a great football player and a very controversial executive director of the NFLPA. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3545830

I saw Bolt shaking hands with his competetors after each heat. Rogge is a joke and he should be directing his focus on the Chinese "women's" gymnastics team... and if they can cheat, allegedly, in gymnastics, then all China's medals are suspect.

I just read in the Star that Michael Johnson assured everyone before the race that his 200 metre record was safe. I fucking love Bolt even more.

I think having TFC in the MLS has been a boon to Team Canada's growing fan support at BMO Field. Most of the red shirts last night were of the TFC variety.

I didn't look like the ref was going to card De Rosario until the Jamaican started to roll around in agony. I thought at the time De Rosario was going to get carded for the shirt-pull, but the foot-swipe is news to me since there was no replay on the big screen.

I was referring to that terrible off-line goal Seaman let-in during the World Cup back in the 90's.

Ron is a nice guy. Sad news.

A decent game with some impressive offensive flair from Canada along with some frustrations and disappointment. The sold-out crowd was excellent, boisterous and well-oiled: over 16 thousand pro-Canada fans to Jamaica's 5 thousand supporters. The place was buzzing from the beginning anthems, although the "epic" Jamaican anthem needed a Jimmy Page guitar solo to round it out. The Canadians played a timid first half but really picked it up in the second and dominated the game, really, except for a few plays like Jamiaca's corner-kick goal, with Onstad doing his best David Seaman imitation. Both De Rosario and especially de Guzman were standouts. De Guzman was a marked man all night, but he was the best player and always dangerous. Jamaican goalie Ricketts was the only reason why the game was a tie. Oh, and no surprise to anyone in attendance except my CONCACAF- ignorant wife: the officiating was terrible with many head-scatcher calls and cards, especially De Rosario's yellowcard: he pulled on a Jamaican defender's jersey, then five seconds later, the Jamaican drops to the turf like he was shot and rolls around. My co-worker told me that the fouls were 27-15 in Jamaica's favour. I think this partially threw Canada off its game in the first half. Still, if you don't score you don't win. They didn't play desperate enough in the first half.

A report on today's CP24 ticker said that TFC may use Edu's transfer fee towards replacing BMO's field turf with natural grass.

I'm not feeling well today. I won't be drinking.
