Archives Happy Birthday Coach
It's a great day for a man I'm honoured to call a mentor and a friend. Happy Birthday to Coach, without whom none of us would be here right now.

There Is No Cabal, but if there were Coach would be its Kim Il-Sung. Hail to the Great Leader!

Also, that cuttlefish looks absolutely frightening.

It looks like the Jays are in for some luck.

Check out what they've done on previous Coach birthdays:

June 23, 2003
Shannon Stewart and Josh Phelps both homer, and the Jays destroy Baltimore 13-4 on 20 hits.

June 23, 2002
Eric Hinske hits his 13th homer of the season, and Roy Halladay picks up his ninth win as the Jays beat the D-backs 9-3.

June 23, 2001
The Jays score 7 runs in the second inning en route to a 9-6 victory over Frank Castillo and the Red Sox.

June 23, 2000
The Jays pound "way back" John Wasdin for 5 runs, and go on to beat the Red Sox 5-4.

Happy Birthday, Coach, and let's hope your streak continues. :)

On this day in 1989, I waited in line for two hours to see that pile of garbage Batman movie.

Happy birthday, Coach. I'm sure that if you show up in 518 tonight your beers will be complimentary.

Just in case there is a Cabal, I'm posting this song I found that praised Kim Il-Sung. I've modified it to honour Coach. Maybe we could all sing it instead of Happy Birthday.

Changbai Hills roll, stained with blood
Yalu River meanders, soaked in blood
Today Free Coseon's wreath of glories
Radiates holy rays

Ah! Our brilliant and beloved General
Ah! Our exalted leader General (Coach)Kim Il Seong

Vast snowy fields of Manchuria please tell me
Endless night deep in the Taiga please tell me
Immortal guerilla warrior, who is he?
Outstanding patriot, who is it?

Ah! Our brilliant and beloved General (Coach)
Ah! Our exalted leader General (Coach)Kim Il Seong

Librator of the working people, our savior
Democratic new Coseon, great Sun
We rally around the Twenty Principles
Everywhere in North Korea is spring

Ah! Our brilliant and beloved General (Coach)
Ah! Our exalted leader General (Coach)Kim Il Seong
