Father's Day Headlines/Game Thread: Cubs at Jays 1:05 ET/12:05 CT
2008-06-15 09:42:00
Happy Fathers' Day to all the dads out there, especially mine. Without dads, there could be no "daddy's little girl," and I'm not sure where that would have left me. So plant yourself in the butt-groove on your couch, grab your bowl of pork rinds, and settle in to watch some baseball, soccer, and US Open today. In a related story, I flipped a hash brown onto my bare foot while making Max's breakfast this morning, so if anyone knows how to treat third-degree burns, I would appreciate the advice. As we briefly discussed yesterday, with a win today, the Cubs can hit 20 games over .500. This is definitely uncharted territory in my lifetime, which makes me faintly dizzy and a little sick to my stomach. In headlines today, Lou says he likes Reedz in the leadoff spot: "I would think you'll see him in there more often than not," Piniella said. Lou is a man of few words. And Reedz is puzzled by his popularity in Toronto: Why is Johnson so popular in Toronto? "I don't know," he said. ...
Saturday Game Thread: Cubs at Jays 1:07 ET/12:07 CT
2008-06-14 11:03:00
Take off, ya hoser While I would be the last to ever criticize my esteemed colleague, Umbra, I took issue with his list of "Things Canada Has Contributed to the World," yesterday. Specifically, while making veiled references to Bob and Doug MacKenzie and the Great White North, he left them off the list by name. Anyone who has ever seen "Strange Brew" or heard the MacKenzie Brothers' version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," knows that this injustice should not be allowed to stand. Umbra, I take issue with your list, Sir. and I think I've made my point. In related news, the Cubs are still in the Great White North today, taking on the Jays today. Again. Let's hope it's no longer throw-back time in Toronto, beacause I practically went blind looking at those horrible sky blue jerseys against the flourescent green astroturf. Thought the sidebar has yet to be updated due to techinical problems with Max's computer, I can report that today OGDJM (4-3) will be facing off (see? that...
Game Thread- Cubs @ Blue Jays- 6:07 P.M. CT/ 7:07 P.M. ET- O, Canada!
2008-06-13 16:30:00
Good day. Tonight, our beloved Cubs cross two thresholds: the rigid line separating the American League from the National League, and the USA-Canada Border.  So put on your plaid shirt, get some maple syrup, and take off to the Great White North. It's a beauty-way to go! For those of you who are not familiar with Canadian history, customs, and culture, here is a short primer on things that Canadians have contributed to the world: 1.  The Red Green Show The Red Green Show is one of the greatest comedic achievements of mankind.  Cabin-dweller Red Green and his Pointdexter-y nephew Harold hang out at Possum Lodge while sharing Northwoods wisdom and advice that I have tried to live my life by. If the women don't find you handsome, they can at least find you handy Of all of the Red Green segments, two stick out in my mind.  First, Handyman Corner, where Red takes the men aside and helps them complete manly projects, most of which involve the Handyman's Secret We...

Jays Cool On Bedard?
2008-06-10 10:58:00
There's a long-running rumor that Canada native Erik Bedard will sign with the Blue Jays when he reaches free agency after the '09 season. However, Geoff Baker writes today: But sources in Toronto indicated on Monday that the team has cooled on Bedard and may no longer be interested in acquiring him ? now or later. The Jays have had some public-relations issues the past few seasons with A.J. Burnett, a pitcher expected to use an escape clause to opt out of his five-year deal with Toronto after this season. Baker is suggesting the Jays may be reluctant to do another long-term deal with a media-unfriendly pitcher.  Burnett and Bedard both tantalize, underachieving despite ace repertoires.  Bedard's next contract will be a risky one, perhaps five years at top dollar like Burnett's.  Back in February, John Hickey wrote that he expected the Mariners to sign Bedard to an extension.  Bedard's mediocre results through 11 starts may give them pause.

Olson Wins Number Five: O's Beat Twins, 3-2; The Jays On Tap...
2008-06-06 16:15:00
In light of what I said about two weeks about the first part of June being very important and telling as to where the Orioles would stand for the rest of the season -- right now, needless to say -- they're doing fine.With a record of 29-30, and still in last place in the AL East, the Orioles earned a very important series victory on Thursday as both Adam Jones homered, and Nick Markakis added a two-run shot as Baltimore beat Minnesota, 3-2.Keeping in line of the growth of this in 2008, rookie Garrett Olson won his fifth game as he allowed two runs and eight hits through 6 1/3 innings in Baltimore's third win in four games. Although he got into trouble in the first part of the game, through guts and guile, he was able to hold off the Twins.George Sherrill threw a scoreless ninth for his 20th save of the season.The Baltimore Orioles next counter against a tough Toronto team that's 32-30 on the season and are fighting for a top spot in the AL East.Matchups: Tonight: Orioles' Brian...
