Land of the Leaf

Don’t Mess With The Drunks

Stoeten at drunkjaysfans is really pissed, first he took issue with Sportsnet’s handling of the World Baseball Classic and a wonderful shot at Jim Lang’s googely eyeballs.  Then he laid into Chippers Jones for taking a stab at the city of Toronto as a host for the WBC.   Incredible.

The Leafs Have Little To Play For

Toronto Sports Media posted the latest standings in the Tavares Cup, and the Leafs are not looking like they’re in the running, they’re not in the running for anything.

Lobbying For J-Bay Begins

Eyebleaf starts the lobbying for the Blue Jays to acquire the services of Jason Bay, he’s a free agent at season’s end and the Red Sox and Bay’s camp have broken off talks… for now.

Leo Rautins A Great Passer?  Pops Compared To Wendel Clark?  WTF?

Yeah those were the play-by-play highlights from The Raptors latest loss.  (Raptors Republic)

Alternative To Drinking Tonight

The Blue Jay Hunter is hosting a live chat tonight from 9-10 pm.  If you managed to drink yourself silly this afternoon or get booted from your local watering hole, grab a green beer and join the chat.

Jay Cutler to the Toronto Bills?

I’m not sure if you can read too much into this, but another big name without a home may be coming to Toronto with the Bills next season.  (Fan IQ)

• The Raptors actually win one, and rather handily!  I’m not alone in thinking that the Raptors need a Charles Oakley-type to kick their asses on the bench and in the locker room.  Pops Mensah-Bonsu might not have Oak’s candour, but he brings it on the floor, whatever it is.  Eyebleaf loves him, and so should you.  (Sports and the City)

• Rogers Sportsnet still calls those crummy posts on their website “blogs”, and apparently Sean McCormick’s latest spiel on Ron Wilson is causing a stir in the MLSE offices.  How is it that Ron Wilson is actually out big-mouthing Mr. Big-Mouth Brian Burke?  Impressive, most impressive.  (Toronto Sports Media)

• I’m not going to get into the hockey fight debate here, I love a good scrap and I think there are other more pressing issues that NHL general managers should address, like failed expansion to the sunbelt.  Down Goes Brown offered the best explanation of why the new rule won’t work, then he went ahead and posted the top 10 “staged” hockey fights.  (Down Goes Brown)

• The Blue Jays’ rotation is starting to take shape, thank sweet Jesus that Mike Maroth has fallen out of contention.  Matt Clement might not be far behind him either, but he’s not necessarily out of options.  (Major League Bastian)

• It may actually be the cheesiest song you’ve ever heard, but admit it: you’ve been brought to tears by it at least once.  It’s the Classic One Shining Moment videos.  (Cuzoogle)

• I’m not even going to offer an explanation as to why I’ll link to this as you can see for yourself, no explanation is needed.  A naked man climbs a 50-foot cross and takes a dump on it in a protest against Christianity.  (Afrojacks)
