But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears.

Tonight: Halladay vs. Pedro at the Dome, and a bunch of us are going to see it. What could be better than that (other than a Calgary Flames overtime Game 7 victory)?

Off day yesterday, so little to report today.

  1. Spencer Fordin examines Cat's pre-game preparation in "Catalanotto 'looks' to prepare".

  2. Geoff Baker talks about what it will take for the Jays to start winning in "Blue Jay recovery centres on mound: Bats, including Delgado's, will come around". I agree with Mr. Baker. You know by the end of the season that the Jays are going to score a pile of runs. Particularly against righties.

  3. Dave Perkins of the Star talks about today's two dollar matchup in "At two bucks, Cy versus Cy is a bargain".

  4. A must read article on the A's/Jays/Red Sox/Dodgers way of doing things: "It's Geek to Him: The new data-head Dodger general manager doesn't deal in a world of 'five-tool player' assessments". You have to sign up for a free registration on the site, but bselig tells me that it's worth it.

  5. Another similar article is in the St. Louis Post Dispatch with the title "Statistics aren't for losers any more". Yeah, statistics has always been the domain of losers, because those innumerates in fishwrap journalism have it made. Us business school types cry ourselves to sleep every night, don't you know.


I encourage everyone to come out and watch tonight's game. You don't need to see the Leafs, they'll win. Last night Calgary proved that the Flames could win in the playoffs. So Gary Roberts, Robert Reichel, Joe Nieuwendyk, Wade Belak, Trevor Kidd, Clarke Wilm, Don Edwards, Paul Reinhart, Tommy Lysiak, Pat Quinn, Phil Myre and all the other aging former Flames on Toronto's roster have nothing to worry about.
