Let us, however grudgingly, congratulate Tony LaRussa who has now managed his team to more wins than any man in major league history who didn't actually own the team he was managing.

I'm going to sing that song again, folks. Be ready.

Welcome to Buffalo.

I'm so proud. I remembered that the place where the Cleveland Baseball Team plays its home games is currently called Progressive Field. Didn't even have to look it up (except afterwards, to be sure I had it right. Oh well.)

Still imperial, still evil. Yeah, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

We're almost done with Dunedin.

The first place Boston group is coming to Dunedin.

The Jays open a ten game "homestand" in Dunedin tonight, and let's hope this will be the last time. They'll begin playing their "home" games in Buffalo on June 1 and someday, baby, who knows baby, they'll come and be playing here for you.

These guys again.

I logged on, saw the 254 comments and thought - whoa! New thread required.

They were champs just two years ago, but it doesn't seem like much of that team is still around.

This day might be Shakespeare's birthday (he was christened on the 26th, and it used to be the custom to wait three days just to make sure the infant survived long enough to bother.) It's definitely the day he died, 52 years later.
