I picked her up by chance
She speaks to me
With ultra-high frequencies
Radio band of gold
Gonna listen til I grow old

  1. "Toronto trims losses in financial books, if not on the field" by Steve Erwin:

      The Toronto Blue Jays fell in the standings but inched closer to profitability this season.

      Final figures are still being crunched, but it appears the Jays will post an operating loss of somewhere between $7-million and $8-million -- boosted by league revenue sharing, a higher Canadian dollar and a slimmer payroll, according to a senior executive at parent company Rogers Communications Inc.

      That's less than half the near $18-million the club lost in 2003, the source said.

  2. "This old 'Dome" by Mark Keast:

      Communications, owner of the Blue Jays. Rogers has made it clear in the past it would like to get its hands on the stadium. A story that a deal was in the works was reported in these pages a few weeks back, and there's plenty of smoke there.

      Then what? Most people connected with the stadium, and all of us who drive into the city along the Gardiner Expressway, look upon the much-maligned, under-loved concrete mausoleum and agree that it needs the Joan Rivers of facelifts. Blue or green lighting across the top of the retractable roof during nighttime is a nice touch but that ain't gonna cut it.

  3. "Jays trying to deal Hinske" by Bob Elliott:

      The Blue Jays are aggressively attempting to move Hinske to the Cincinnati Reds, who don't have an everyday third baseman.

      If Hinske is moved, perhaps the Jays would enter the sweepstakes for free-agent third baseman Corey Koskie of the Minnesota Twins. Another prime free agent at third base will be Troy Glaus of the Anaheim Angels.

    Moffatt's Take: In my estimation, the chance of this happening is exceedingly remote. I have no idea where Elliott got this idea from. It reeks to much of a "Hey, Cinci needs a third baseman.. we should send Hinske there!" idea to be plausible. But hey, if I'm wrong, I'll gladly eat my words.
