I Know Markakis Sucks, But That’s No Reason To Throw At His Head
This is probably going to sound stupid coming from a guy who’s favourite sports involve people getting beaten up and injured, but all this stuff about how the Jays need to retaliate against the Orioles for throwing at and hitting Jose Bautista twice yesterday needs to stop. I get that people say it’s a part …

MLB Still Mostly Hates Canada, But Somehow We Got Something Nice Out Of Them This Time
Seems myrantfrom back in May about the Jays getting shafted by the Major League Baseball schedule makers when it comes to holidays had quite a bit of impact. And by quite a bit, I of course mean pretty well diddly fuck all. According tothis post from Drunk Jays Fansthat I’m going by because it’s here …
NFL Vs. NHL
If you’re like me, … well, first of all you have my sympathies, but more to the point of this post, you’re an NHL fan with only a limited understanding of the NFL. But if unlike me you’re interested in understanding the NFL a bit better,Down Goes Brown’s hockey fan’s guide to the NFLis for …

If you were one of those who followed my year in the wrestling prediction contest, you’re well aware that my prognostication abilities aren’t always the best. but before the Jays Mariners series started, I made a prediction to the Shoe Thief. I told him that not only would Jose Bautista hit his 50th home run …

Does This Make Me A Bad Canadian?
I think my utter disdain for all things winter is starting to take over my life. Actually I know it is, because just the mere fact that it is currently fall is causing me great amounts of annoyance and sorrow. It’s been this way for years and it gets worse and worse with each trip …

Congratulations Jose! Now Can You Please Hit Two More So I Can Embarrass Some Friends?
There’s a new answer to the who has hit more home runs in a single season for the Toronto Blue Jays trivia question. Since 1987 the answer had been George Bell with 47, but as oflast nightit’s Jose Bautista with 48…for now. He hit the record setter off of Boston’s Michael Bowden in the 6th …
Hopefully The Kid Is Safe And This Guy Is Out Of A Job
Call it a crazy hunch, but something tells me that suburban Harrisburg Pennsylvania’s Ray Boudreau won’t be in the running for any coach or father of the year awards any time soon. It’s bad enough that heallegedly punched one of his 9-year-old baseball players twice in the face after the kid was ejected from a …
