I don’t pretend to know what you want
When you come around and spin my top
Time and again, time and again
No fire where I lit my spark
I am not afraid of the dark

A Jays loss, a Flames loss, an energy-draining ear infection, and going to work on Monday morning. Maybe reading the paper will cheer me up...

  1. That was an ugly one yesterday, wasn't it? Fordin's headline writer gives a pretty accurate description of the game with "Lopez yields walkoff homer in 12th: Batista outpitches Schilling before bullpen implosion".

  2. Fordin Notes on Brian Butterfield and Chris Gomez.

  3. Tomorrow's game features "Hentgen vs. Bonderman, Take 2". It's in Detroit, but I'm really tempted to go to this one. Living in London, Comerica is just as close as the Skydome.

  4. Thanks to the hockey playoffs, the Globe only has one baseball article: Larry Millson's "Ortiz's blast caps late Boston rally" on yesterday's game. The Star has similar articles in "Red Sox outlast Jays in 12 innings" and Geoff Baker's "Blue Jays lose Boston marathon: Tosca still trying to find a closer after late collapse Sox slugger Ortiz ends it in 12th with walkoff HR" The Sun has the AP game report and box score.

  5. Richard Griffin turns Bauxite in "Tosca overmanaging an experienced bullpen". This one is a must read.



This is the part of the roundup where I normally bash the Leafs, but it's time for a change of pace. Mike Ribiero's antics yesterday were absolutely disgusting. It's an affront to every player who has ever been legitimately injured and can't get a whistle. Absolutely disgusting.

Don't want to end on a down note, so how about Phil Mickelson? Great to see him finally win a major. Lefties have now won the last two majors, a fact that my southpaw girlfriend won't let me forget any time soon!

P.S. I'm in first place in the Leftovers. I've got to enjoy it now, because I doubt it will ever happen again.
