Hal Johnson Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 If he doesnt play he's a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I can't remember what player it was, but someone, it might have been Jeff Francis or Bay, was urging Martin to play for Canada during the past baseball year. At the time, Martin never considered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 If he doesnt play then Pete Laforest will catch (I assume). All due respect to Pete, but he's a career minor-leager. Hopefully Martin sees that everyone else is playing and, oh ya, it's in Canada, and changes his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Canada's Preliminary Roster :confused: Looks like Dempster declined. Luckily, Santana may not play for Ven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Keep and eye on Brett Lawrie. He was the highest ever Canadian drafted (16th overall in the '08 draft) and even made it to the Bigs last year as an 18-year-old with the Brewers.

Hal Johnson Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Will do.Im worried about our SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Will do.Im worried about our SP.So am I, but the US has sent their B-team and seem disinterested in general. Cetainly folks in the US won't be watching, or care, just like the last Classic, which will help Canada. It also helps that March Madness starts rolling around then.Anyway, I'm going to five games. See you there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 "the US has sent their B-team and seem disinterested in general"Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) The rest of the world is not disinterested though. The ratings were very impressive worldwide last time out. I got the tickets for Christmas. I do love those Canuck jerseys. Edited January 20, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Nah, not yet, I think it should be soon though. I know they said some time in january, so I'm hoping we get them any day now.And yes, we do need to hook up for pre/post game festivities.I wonder if the Peel Pub is still open?

Schwa. Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Mickey, I'm certain that we aren't getting a hotel but if you wanna meet up for some pints at a pub somewhere i'm definitely IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXQ42 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 If that's the case, we should do pre pint, get a nice buzz on for the game and be sober enough to travel home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now a Filthy McNasty's, which is even worse.There's far better pub options in the area that aren't for tourists, ginos and frat boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) Haha, yes, the PP was exactly as you described it. The gigantic pitcher's though added a certain charm to it. But Im not surprised at all that it's gone. Edited January 24, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'll recommend the Friar & Firkin or The Fox & Fiddle on John, or even Gabby's or the Elephant & Castle, both on King near John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Do you think the Cameron is a good place to get riled up before a ballgame? It's a wee bit out of the way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
