You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
Three wins, two losses, one serious thumping and a rainout: just another Friday night at the ballpark for the Junior Jays.
So that's what it feels like when your team is hitting the ball!
Remember the Orioles comeback win on Sunday at the Dome? Remember how the Orioles were saying it was their biggest win of the year? Well, for believers in the mystical concept of momentum in sports, I submit the following:
Since that game, Baltimore has lost four straight (all at home) by a combined score of 33 to 9.
Let's hope that last game was atypical and that Canada can hang with the big boys. Canada v Cuba starts at 4:30 AM Eastern. The Red and White will see another lefthanded starting pitcher, no doubt. But will that same pitcher be able to come back on 2 days rest for a potential semi-final matchup against Canada?
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Three wins in four games. Brian Hall digs the long ball and Syracuse loves the French.

There are 41 games left in the regular season. If the Jays go 15-26 (my best guess at this point) they will finish with 98 losses this season. Here is the "race" for the worst record in baseball:
1) Arizona ......... 37-85 ____
2) Kansas City ... 43-75 8.0
3) Seattle ......... 45-74 9.5
4) Toronto ........ 49-72 12.5
5) Montreal ....... 50-70 14.0
6) Colorado ....... 54-67 17.5
The Orioles were swept by the Athletics. That, in all practicality, has knocked Baltimore out of the wild-card hunt.
Just a quick report today, as I'm approaching a perfect 10.0 on the busy scale. Enjoy the weekend!
Canada has shown themselves superior to the opposition to this point. Now they face one of the co-favourites for gold. Game time is 4:30 AM Eastern on TSN.
The Fisher Cats swept Binghamton, as the farm affiliates went 2-3 on Wednesday.
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
What have you heard? What rumours would you like to start? Report here. Couple of former Jay aces in the current headlines
This was from Gammons yesterday, so file under "unlikely" but according to him, the Yankees were very close to a deal with the Padres, in which they would send Jon Lieber and Kenny Lofton west for Jay Payton and David Wells.
Sorry to break this news to Scott Lucas, resident Rangerphile, but Texas is apparently looking to "bolster" its starting rotation by re-acquiring one Esteban Loaiza in exchange for "a minor league pitcher." We can only hope it's Justin Thompson.
What else have you heard?
Yesterday we looked at the question "
What Can We Expect From a 14th Overall Draft Pick?". Today we bring it down a notch and look at the 15th overall slot where Gabe Gross was drafted in 2001. The results are pretty ugly.
In this thread, something we all need: a place to air our frustrations. So I'm asking you everyone, what for you was the lowest lowlight of this season so far? If possible, give us the date and opponent, or as much detail as you can remember -- this thread can be a standing monument to individual awful moments in a season gone wrong.
