Live Blog: The Opener
Like a retired grandpa, I woke up this morning and immediately checked the weather forecast for a city that I'm not visiting. According to the Weather Network, for 2:00 p.m. there is a 60% chance of light rain in New York, with temperatures around 8°C.
The good news is that tomorrow's forecast is even worse, so the decision makers may choose to power through the light rain today, in hopes of getting all three games of the opening series played.
Rain or shine, we'll be live blogging whatever is played of the game right here. Do you remember that episode of Who's The Boss? where Tony and Samantha were both auditioning to be a sportscaster and Samantha got thrown for a loop, when during the audition, they threw a rain delay at her to see how she would improvise? I mention this because if there's a rain delay today, I was thinking we could write some old episode summaries for 80's sitcoms totally from memory.
We also have a couple of giveaways from Sony to . . . er, give away. Copies of the new MLB 08: The Show for the Sony Playstation 3 will be subjectively handed out for the best comments of the day, so keep the wit flowing in the comments sections (but once again, try not to be too much funnier than us - it makes us look bad).
So, if you're at work with no access to a television, or at home with angry fluids flowing through your face from Jamie Campbell's commentary, join us online for the rest of the day for updates on the game and drunken confessions about our personal life that we'll regret writing when we read this post soberly the next day.
10:23 a.m.
Just a few housekeeping notes:
For the sixth time in a row, Roy Halladay will be the Blue Jays opening day starter. China Man Wang will take the mound for the Yankees.
Shannon Stewart will get the start in left field today as Matt Stairs continues to massage liquid from the Fountain of Youth into his hip while swallowing table spoons of Geritol and complaining about the government.
10:37 a.m.
In order to psyche myself up all the more, I've programmed my iPod to only play Pink's Get The Party Started, The Black Eyed Peas' Let's Get It Started, and an audio clip of Al Pacino from Any Given Sunday.
11:07 a.m.
Long-time reader Torgen points out that China Man Wang is actually from Taiwan, which is technically part of China. Nonetheless, to remain politically sensitive we'll refer to Wang as a China Man from Taiwan, sort of like the China Man from Korea who drinks so much Soju.
The press notes for today's game are available here. So, now when Jamie Campbell brings up a useless piece of information, you'll know it's source.
11:24 a.m.
I'm leaving for Chairman Mao's house to get the nerdy baseball drinking festivities underway. I'll catch you guys on the flip side.
In the meantime, reader Brendan gives us the first 80's sitcom memory involving baseball of the afternoon: It's a Cheers one where Coach coaches a little-league baseball team. He's a hardass to them, until they stage a team walkout and he comes to realize that he loves those little kids, and maybe his hardass approach isn't the best one to take. So, by the end of the episode he's not just a better coach, but a better person. One of the little baseball players was Corey Feldman. I mention all of this because Corey Feldman sucks shit.
11:48 a.m.
Stoeten here, and whoever is putting together the betting lines for today's game appears to have lost his (or her) mind. The Yankees are favoured, despite China Man Wang having gone 0-2 with an ERA over 6 against the Jays last year, and Roy Halladay having allowed 2 earned runs total in his last four starts at Yankee Stadium. If you're not a betting man (or woman), now might be the time to start. Just sayin'...
12:05 p.m.
An hour from game time and I realize now that I don't have the address of the house I'm going to. But I'll get it. No worries.
Parkes claims not to be a fan of the National Post's Jays coverage, so I guess it's up to me to point out that John Lott had a pretty good article on Roy Halladay and the Jays' chances this year in today's paper.
Also, the shitting on Dick Griffin trend that we like to think we were in on the ground floor of has now apparently gone as far as to the Onion! Amazingly awesomely fucking awesome! (Thanks to Jesse for the tip.)
12:17 p.m.
In case you're looking for more to read before the game starts (or during the inevitable rain delays), our friend Dave Rouleau of Baseball Digest Daily informs us that the first issue of Behind The Dish, his new webzine, which examines at the Jays farm system, is now available for download. Nice work, guys. (Webzine, is that really the word I'm looking for?)
12:41 p.m.
OK, now I'm getting concerned. I know the Chairman doesn't live too far from me. I think I even know the street... but which house? I'm not going to risk just going, because I don't have any minutes on my phone. Come on, fuckheads!
Also concerned because I noticed this quote in the Behind The Dish interview with Jesse Litsch: "Oh yeah, I’m confident; I’m always confident. I’m just trying to keep with my game, go after the hitters and stay within myself." Oh shit.
12:57 p.m.
MacLeod in the Globe informs us that they've delayed the first pitch now, but that weather is supposed to improve shortly. We're in for a long day here, aren't we?
I know these fuckfaces who aren't answering my calls to send me the address I'm supposed to go to are going to be in for a long day if they don't get their shit together soon! Why am I still at home?!?
1:06 p.m.
OK, I finally know where I'm going and am taking off. Hopefully someone takes the reins for you all now that I'm stepping away. If they don't, you can read Buster Olney's blog (if you're an ESPN Insider), which says that the Jays won't be signing Aaron Hill to a multi-year deal. They tried to, but couldn't reach an agreement.
1:11 p.m.
Parkes here. The Chairman gave me a heart attack when I got to his place and no one was around. Thankfully, I ran into him on the street and he was purchasing more bratwurst than a team of German porkers.
The delay means we get to see yesterday's first episode of The Jays '08 Season. As the Chairman points out, he could do without the narration by Socrates. We just learned that B.J. Ryan is unfamiliar with the term out of sigt out of mind, but there's no explanation as to what the fuck that's supposed to me.
1:20 p.m.
Okay, so seeing as though we're postponed, Southpaw points out that you can join the live chat with Jeff Blair over at the Globe and Mail's sports site. Or, you can stick around here and chat about that episode of Cheers, where Sam Malone is asked to pitch in a charity game by some asshole who took him deep a gazillion times during his career. Somehow, the guys grandkids milk Malone into feeling sorry for the jackass, and so at the charity game he tosses him a meatball. Then the prick gets all loud mouth and uppity about the moonshot. What a show that was!
What do you guys think about The Season series? Is it just me or does the idea sound much better than the actual episodes.
For the record, I'm on my first rye and water and the Chairman is boiling the brats in beer as I type.
1:31 p.m.
The Chairman does food right enough to make Keith Law look like a common line cook.
On the Yankees radio broadcast, they're replaying Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. Holy shit, that's desperate.
A question the Chairman and I were discussing: Do you think Frank Thomas is at all a legacy chaser or does he just want to keep playing ball?
One of the things I like about Big Frank is that he seems to give less a fuck about everything than anyone, evidenced by his participation in the Mitchell Report and his willingness to call a cheat a cheat.
1:41 p.m.
Also, a great thing about Frank that Stoeten just pointed out: He sure as shit knows how to wear a hat. Wearing a hat on top of your head is so much more immensely classy than wearing around your head.
I've drained my second rye and water and feeling a bit tipsy. If baseball doesn't start soon, the Chairman's television set may fly through the window.
Another question that you guys won't answer in the comments: Sportsnet Ladies, Martine or Ivanka?
1:55 p.m.
The Danimal and Priestman just showed up with alcohol reinforcements. We're going to be pinned before the first pitch gets thrown.
The Yankees broadcast just claimed that because of all the shit they have planned for today's game, in combination with the fact that tomorrow will be even worse, today's game will not be cancelled.
2:03 p.m.
Reader LA, in response to who the hotter Sportsnet broadcast is, says, "I've been a Martine man since her Weather Network days, and no upstart Russian princess is gonna change that."
Jawn counters, "Ivanka... come on. Could you imagine her bent over looking back at you? Man."
The five dudes here as split as Martine's gash on who's better looking. Myself, I like Martine's back, but Ivanka has that Eastern European face that you just want shake a beer up and spray all over.
The rain delay continues . . .
2:14 p.m.
Stoeten here and... ACTIVITY! But don't get your hopes up. Wilner is reporting that, unofficially, the people in the ESPN booth next door is saying postponement. Fucking bullshit! Why the hell do they schedule games in March in friggin' New York?!?! Nothing official yet here...
2:19 p.m.
Some fat fucks in the stands in Detroit. Hey Americans, maybe if you raised the alcohol content in your shitty beer you wouldn't need so much to get shitfaced and wouldn't be such tubs of shit. Huh?
Yeah... the Royals and Tigers are on. Wilner is talking about Balco. The Yankess radio feed is playing shit from 2003. This officially sucks fucking bag. PLAY THE GAME ALREADY!
... of course, if they did play and someone got hurt, I can only imagine the fucking outcry from all the panicky dopes. Fuck... is a little sunshine too much to ask?
2:23 p.m.
Pitchers are throwing the ball around in left, and Wilner "doesn't see rain any more". But we're still waiting on the official word...
2:26 p.m.
"It seems to have stopped raining...," says Wilner.
2:30 p.m.
BLUE BALLS! BULLSHIT! Fuck this. . . it's over.
The game goes tomorrow at 7:05 p.m., and there are supposed to be thundershowers all day. So... no baseball until Wednesday, kiddies. Fucking fuck.
2:37 p.m.
Once again, why the fuck would MLB schedule things this way? They're also delayed in Cincinnat, while Arizona's stadium sits unused. Tampa and Baltimore are going at it in Baltimore (and by "going at it" I mean "going to get delayed"). Houston and San Diego are playing each other for some reason, as are Texas and Seattle and Minnesota and the Angels.
WAY TO FUCKING USE YOUR VENUES, BASEBALL. Good fucking job.
2:41 p.m.
Parkes here again. Ditto to what Stoeten said. This is immense bullshit. I don't have much hope for tomorrow after reading the weather forecast.
I guess we're calling this live blog as well. Sorry to fluff everybody up and then leave. We'll try again tomorrow. As for everyone out there who's half in the bag and forced to watch the Tigers and Royals . . . I know your pain.
We're gonna hold off on giving the games away until tomorrow (hopefully), but I do have to give a slight edge to our wheel chair rollin' friend Wheeler Josh who writes, "I hope I won the PS3 game. I mean, I think I really deserve it. Being that I can't walk and all. Yeah, I resorting to this. Deal."

Whoot Whoot!! Opening Day is Here!!! Let's hope they get the game in today, cause, you know, I don't like getting drunk in the middle of the day for nothing.......
J.P. thinks we should play with a "chip on our shoulder". Shouldn't we have been already? For the last, I don't know, little while?
for all the Drunk Jay Fans out there, i just discovered a wonderful online resource for days like this.
www.beerhunter.ca
God Bless Technology!
Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
That may be the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Chris just took the early lead for a video game . . . and my eternal respect.
You should have a Drunk Jays fan drinking game for inane shit that Jamie Campbell says. I nominate "he's a professional hitter."
"join us online for the rest of the day for updates on the game and drunken confessions about our personal life that we'll regret writing when we read this post soberly the next day."
There's no chance your sober tomorrow...
Time to start an entire season of ill advised gambling on the Jays simply because, "its their year".
Plus you tend to drink more when things are tight and you stand to lose a substantial portion of your property if Shannon Stewart can't get on base.
Also, Wang is from Taiwan. You're lucky Taiwan calls itself China.
Omurchu, are you pawning your shit just to bet on the Jays this year?
I have to say, of all the ill-advised shit that goes on in and around this blog, that's gotta be up there.
Headline Tomarrow: "Toronto's Doc slaps the Wang in New York"
Even though the game hasn't started, which means there isn't a rain delay yet, I still want to share the 80s sitcom episode that came to mind. It's a Cheers one where Coach coaches a little-league baseball team. He's a hardass to them, until they stage a team walkout and he comes to realize that he loves those little kids, and maybe his hardass approach isn't the best one to take. So, by the end of the episode he's not just a better coach, but a better person. One of the little baseball players was Corey Feldman. I mention all of this because Corey Feldman sucks shit.
Also that love that Pacino Speech.
Torgen, know's everything about Wang.
You should do a pool to see who can correctly guess the number of comments you get on the live blog today.
chris, this is going to be a difficult day my friend.
We're BOTH too cool for capitals.
Happy Opening Day Drunkies!
Please keep the shots at Campbell coming during the blog since I'm stuck at work and am forced to miss his rapier wit.
Any guesses on how many times during the broadcast he alludes to this being 'the Jays year'?
Cheers!
wait, that made no sense. I apologize.
Hi kids,
I just sent a message to members of our Facebook group, directing them to our new (and, so far, entirely empty) Facebook Fan Page. I'm going to change the link on the blog so that it directs here now. So all of you out-of-towners who complained that it was only open to the Toronto network can now bask in the blandness that is our Facebook portal.
If I understand HTML well enough, you should be able to click here to join.
If I was going for a Wang pun, I'd prefer it to be something like, "Rios finds stroke off Wang."
the forecast calls for a wet Wang.
Parkes, it is even better on holidays, as it shows you which independent breweries and wine (pussy?) stores are open.
And we have to rule early:
"And THAT happened" should not count as the funniest comment, even though it is.
I joined the fan group. and I'm the only one.
Congrats, Joanna. There will be more, I assume.
I bookmarked it immediately. What a great idea.
Boys, if I may...Facebook Fan Pages are kinda useless and no better than a Facebook group.
Or I have no fans. One of the two.
So all of you out-of-towners who complained that it was only open to the Toronto network can now bask in the blandness that is our Facebook portal.
I sort of enjoyed this Anti-Godfrey approach to your old facebook group. And to think I was convinced you were just trying to stick it to those Boston fans.
man that pacino speech is just classic. I think Im going to watch that movie after the game today. Really is a solid movie despite the ridiculous amount of wang shown.
Good tie in there.... First the Yankees wang, then the Any Given Sunday wang.
Blake, yeah, they're kind of useless, but I don't know, for calendar-type stuff that won't fit on the site, or to keep videos (which we'll be having more of soon) better accessible than having to scroll through the whole blog, or... I don't know. I'm sure we can figure out a way to make them useful. We didn't use the old group at all, though. But at least this way you don't have to be in the Toronto network to join and see what we're up to. Yeah...
The Beer Hunter is pretty awesome indeed, though it mislabels a store in Peterborough...
All this Wang talk has made me remember the first paragragh of Stephen Hunter's classic novel Dirty White Boys:
"Three men at McAlester State Penitentiary had larger penises than Lamar Pye, but all were black and therefore, by Lamar’s own figuring, hardly human at all. His was the largest penis ever seen on a white man in that prison or any of the others in which Lamar had spent so much of his adult life. It was a monster, a snake, a ropey, veiny thing that hardly looked at all like what it was but rather like some form of rubber tubing.
Therefore he was Number One on the fag hit parade but the fags knew to stay away and could only dream of him in private. Lamar wasn't a fag although when the spirit moved him he was a buttfucker. He wasn't a boss con's fuckboy, either, or a punk, or a bitch or a mary or a snitch and he carried a simple meassage in the graceful economy of his movements: to fuck with me is to fuck with death itself."
Stephen Hunter is a God.
"mislabels a store in Peterborough"
Now THAT is hardcore ladies and gentlemen. I am in awe.
+1 for James Rea's facebook profile picture.
I heard on the radio this morning that the "And THAT happened" guy is actually John Mayer.
If so...Mr. Mayer: please stick to making wussy music and leave the shitty commentating to Jamie Campbell.
Actually, please also stop making wussy music.
Stoten,
On betting lines i'd wait until closer to game time. The New York market is betting up the line, so the longer the wait the better the payout (or the pain, as the case may be).
Just saying.
See... I'm not enough of a gambler to know that shit.
Chris, SHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
*Stoeten
apologies for my inability to read.
Stoeten, word on the Facebook thing. I'm already a fan, and that should be enough to sell the idea right there.
Sports.com has the line at Yankees -154 v. Jays +144. Count that as part of my 3-team guarantee, Jays/Dodgers/Mets...$5 wins a hefty $22.34---that's almost a 2-4!
Parkes, check your email when you get to the Chairman's place. Seems I don't have the address...
I just grabbed a 5L mini-keg of Heineken for the game and I'm pleased to report that it actually does fit in the fridge.
JW
While alternating between shots of JD and bashing your head off the fucking table as you listening to Jamie Campbell today, remember to be grateful that we don't have to listen to Rod Black's homosexual fantasies about Derek Jeter and Gay-Rod. At least not until Thursday that is...
Yo, I totally remember that ep. of Who's The Boss!
ah, nothing tastes better than the first beer of the regular season.....
Proline ticket in hand, Anyone else think KC can beat DET by more than one run? I sure do!
Keep us updated on how long it takes for the mini keg to get flat.
Why the hell is Hockey Central on Sportsnet right before the GODDAM FUCKING SEASON OPENER??
2nd beer......
Oh mlb.com, why did you switch to Silverlight? Its installer apparently doesn't install it.
Opening day, i wonder if Hank and Co. sold any tickets to Jays fans? Answer: Fuck No! b/c they actually know how to run an organization
Jamie Cambell reminds me of Kermit the Frog, sitting there.
What in the fuck was the deal with that broken soozamaphone intro music?
Anyone else's sounds f'd up on sportsnet?
yeah, the audio is off by about 5 seconds.
How did someone as ugly as Sam Costentino get on TV?
Since there's a rain delay, perhaps some of you should fire some questions over to Blair for his pregame online chat. It looks like he's only got one so far and is probably waiting for them to start rolling in before he gets talking.
I have an exam at 5pm tonight.
This rain delayed game had better not run too late. Thankfully Roy is on the mound.
Heads up that Degrassi: The Next Generation is on CTV during the rain delay. I'd call it fate.
Hold on a second, did i miss something? where the fuck is reed johnson? and who the hell is david eckstein?
Snet feed just started. No Rod Black, no Sal Fasano, no Rance Mulliniks? This is total bullshit. I guess the Jays aren't going to fulfill that moustache fetish of mine this year. Thank goodness Snet will likely pre-empt this game for the Darts final. I should get my fix there.
Finally, am I the only one who would rather have the "and then that happened" guy over Jamie Campbell?
Fuck this shit! I'm about to take a shit in a coffee can poke a few holes in the top and put it in my neighbors car. The SOB has yankers license plate frames and is a jabber.
anyone catch the Nats vs Braves last night?
ESPN must have the oldest baseball crew ever this year.
"Who wants bigger boobs? A good girl? No, only a whore would."
Great call on the Degrassi. SNet should carry this every delay.
Quick question. Is 980 KRUZ still doing games, or am I listening to bad oldies right now in vain?
is it just my TV or were the audio and video not in sync when Jamie and Pat were blathering on?
They izzznizzzn't doing games.
"sheer and unadulterated ludacocity"
Just what the 21-45 male demographic needs while waiting for the Jays season opener: High School chicks.
I guarantee you Zauner is going to miss the pre-game warm up, watching Degrassi in the clubhouse.
Disturbing images of dirty old men brought to you Yaksman, clothing by Gregg Zaun.
Anyone south of the Mason-Dixon Line that is Kitchener-Waterloo can watch the Tigers-Royals on Fox while waiting out the rain delay in NY.
The house I'm at has no beer and my live blog has turned into a Degrassi discussion. On top of that, Degrassi left us with a cliffhanger I can't wait to see unfold. This may be the worst opening day yet if the game doesn't start by 2.
thanks southpaw
Well fuck.
Any hope of some online radio action, or do I need to figure out how I'm going to get AM radio in my office on a regular basis? Fuck, even my cell phone only does FM.
Granted, these oldies are pretty fuckin' sweet for soothing the office stress. Donny and Marie for the win!
(Come to think of it, that reference is doubly awesome because Donny and Marie are probably Hollywood Squares regulars)
3rd beer, and my chicken wings had more grit than david (plucky) eckstein.....
and by south, southpaw, meant west... therefor, I'm screwed
adams... try http://38.99.208.186/cjcl
Let me know when you're at a game, I'm buying you a beer.
Home opener... woot bitches!
"Jays:The Season" was a great idea, but it spends time developing the theme that the Jays are all business this season. But, then it closes out with a blooper reel!!!!
Isn't this just the exact fucking oposite of what much of the doc was establishing????
It's like those idiotic nerf guns!!! With the nerf guns it is like Vernon substitutes AJ Burnett for his kids while he is at work.
Jamie Cambell reminds me of Kermit the Frog, sitting there.
Jim Henderson is rolling over in his grave.
The only thing Campbell and Kermit share is their rainbow connection.
I just called Henson Henderson - double backflips in his grave!!!
I think the fact that Frank said that he wants to get to 600 HRs in his career would lead me to believe he is a bit of a legacy chaser
Isn't it Jim Hensen?
Sorry, about your Fox coverage, son.
I had many great opening days at the old Tiger Stadium, skivving grades 11 through OAC, grabbing some cans at the party store in Port Huron for the 45-minute drive to Deeetroit and buying $4 bleacher seats in probably the worst city in America. The old drunken vets there used to smuggle their booze in in hollowed out binocular flasks with a screw-cap eye piece, or they'd just huddle together in the bleachers and smoke pinners, knowing they could finish their doobies before security was able to wade through the crowd and locate the offending odor.
Good times.
I love how Vernon lies to his children. Good thing Jays gave him 100+ million. Seems like a character guy.
Martine. Ivanka is always laughing like she can't believe she is really talking about baseball.
Well I have a meeting at 11am PST, so if this rain delay continues I hope it continues for an hour.
Martine. She gives a strong cougar vibe.
She's still no Hazel Mae though.
God, this rain delay is frustrating.
tell me about it. i might have to start doing some work if this keeps up.
I've been a Martine man since her Weather Network days, and no upstart Russian princess is gonna change that.
I'm watching the Tigers and holy balls Verlander can sling it. I know they are playing the Royale's but I think he is going to throw a perfect game today.
Martine actually knows what she's fucking talking about, so Guillard's my choice.
I still can't get over that time Osmack was talking about Michael Cuddyer for about five minutes calling him "Could-yer" at the end of a show while Sean McCormick just stared awkwardly. She finally shuts up, stares at the camera, stares at McCormick, than says "Cuddyer."
I'm no Jamie Campbell hater but he got her the job there, so feel free to bitch away.
PS FREE GAME PLZ
Peachtree (nee TBS) has the Cosby Show on at 2:00 for your delay entertainment.
Bill Cosby once said "I am proud to be an American. Because an American can eat anything on the face of this earth as long as he has two pieces of bread."
Man, that guy loved himself a dick sandwich.
Hazel Mae is a Dog
Ivanka... come on. Could you imagine her bent over looking back at you? Man.
Can I??? I have thought about 3 times today... 9 times last week
From Blair:
They're now saying the weather forecast "no longer looks favorable." So, the game's in jeopardy again.
There is a small crowd at the Rhino wondering where you guys are. The term "sober pussies" is starting to echo around as this delay becomes interminable.
At yankee stadium... They just announced that the weather forecast is looking poorer than expected. But its barely drizzling. God I wish I was in a dome right now!
4th beer for me now, and before I get to blitzed to type, my vote is for Martine, and Yes, the big hurt is a self-serving asshole out for #1. At least my Arrested Development DVD never gets rained out.....
Every time I see Ivanka Osmak the echo of Waylan Smithers shouting "boney old behind, boney old behind, boney old behind..." jumps to mind.
What if I don't have PS3? Can I get an LCBO voucher of equal value?
like my fantasy with Osmack... this game aint happening
Martine's got a big pooper. I'm down with that.
Pat Tabler has "a feeling we're going to play."
Mark it down, Donnie.
This is a bunch of pussy bullshit. A little bit of rain never hurt no-one.
I don't think anyone is going to be too fucking devastated if the season opening jamboree bullshit gets postponed and/or canceled so that we can play some fucking ball. There's 161 more games to pay tribute to the final season in Yankee Stadium and the gayest MVP ever.
Oh, and Dharu Dillon for the win.
Blake: don't worry, nobody has a PS3. You'd think our "good friends at Sony" would have given away one of those instead...?
Wilner can't see any rain any more!!!!!!
Wilner must be drunk too
Dharu Dillon? Honestly? Everytime she talks I want to cut my own nuts off. Seriously she sounds like a banshee getting banged in the pooper. (See what I did there?)
I know she isn't a Sportsnet girl, but Sarah Meehan from "Drive This" on the Score, is smart and smokin' hot.
What ever happened to Jody Vance? Or the old blonde Jayzone broad?
Jennifer Hedger is bone-worthy. She's kind of crack-headish though.
star's blog is reporting it's been cancelled. Fuck that.
Ashley Herod, that was her name.
Jon, no Rhino for us. We're paying way less and drinking PBR at the Chairman's house. Two computers on the go (even though they're fucking Macs and irritating as fuck to use... how about a second fucking mouse button here, Apple).
That Sarah chick from the Score's Drive This only looks smart because she's surrounded by three nimrods.
As for Ivanka vs Martine: gotta be Martine. Every time we see her, the bassline from Spinal Tap's Big Bottom goes through our head.
Mrroawr.
As for Hedger, there are three words that knock her down in our estimation: McCormick hits it.
Worst Opening Day Ever!
I'm American and when I want to get royally f'd up I get a 12 pack of Labatt Ice and drink that before I go out on the hunt. I'm probably one of only a few Americans on this site I would imagine. FUCK THIS! NO GOD DAMN GAME! FUCK YOU YA GOD DAMN CUNT GOD!
Fellas, you're killing me with the female Sportsnet talk. For a guy south of the border who doesn't get Sportsnet, I'm pulling snakeeyes on Google searches of "Ivanka Osmak" (Evanka) or "Dharu Dillon" (Daru Dhillon). Even with the correct spelling, not much worth looking at.
Side note: I grew up in Canada and was all over Martine when she was on TWN
Game cancelled. Fuck.
http://thestar.blogs.com/baseball/
Rescheduled? Fuck that!
I hope I won the PS3 game. I mean, I think I really deserve it. Being that I can't walk and all.
Yeah, I resorting to this. Deal.
This is kind of fucking garbage.
Wow...we're really glad we set the PVR today...watching a two-hour rain delay is gonna be awesome.
i want to fall asleep every night on martine's pillows...
I can only assume I won ALL the MLB 08 copies.
Jesus, this is brutal!
Hey American guy;
Here's Evanka http://www.sportsnet.ca/bios/osmak_evanka/ ,from New Jersey no less.
And here's Daru http://www.sportsnet.ca/bios/dhillon_daru/
fuck.
guess i had better sober up and start studying for that exam, which is in...2 hours.
fuckity fuck.
They're all kinda fug.
Nice use of the double profanity
Sportsnet has a leafs game scheduled for tomorrow night. If the season opener doesn't get shown because of a goddamn useless Leafs game I'm gonna lose it, and probably move to another country.
They may dump the Leafs game to Sportsnet Ontario, allowing me to reveal in baseball in beautiful HD. One can dream can't he...
Martine is beat. She's got one good side, the rest is Crypt Keeper on his best day.
I'll be back tomorrow to claim my prize. :)
"Sportsnet has a leafs game scheduled for tomorrow night. If the season opener doesn't get shown because of a goddamn useless Leafs game I'm gonna lose it, and probably move to another country."
I'm gunna puke
well that's just great. and I'm out of beer, but thank god for The Beerhunter. I'm off to pick up some breakfast for tomorrow.
I just went upstairs to make myself feel better and I'm so fucking angry I can't even get a boner
If the Leaf game goes on over the Jays opener I swear to fuck I'll stab Matt Stajan in the fucking throat.
i dont follow hockey really, so can anyone tell me if sportsnet has seriously claimed that leaf games are "hockey that matters" all season? isnt that a bit contradictory?
Mutha Nature is a Mutha Fucker. Here's hoping tomorrow is better!
Im watching the cubs game and Fukudome hit a 2B in his first at bat and they show 4 wasted cubs fans with FUKU painted on their chests. Would have been worth getting the guy for all of the fuck and fuck you references.
Its still not raining in New York. Game could def have been played.
TSN has the game tomorrow night, therefore avoiding any conflict with the Leafs game on Sportsnet. Now that my fear of having a bullshit hockey game on in place of Opening Day has been abated, here's hoping the good news continues and Rod Black and Jamie Campbell will be involved in some sort of murder-suicide this evening.
So TSN is saving me from Leafs hockey...I'm expecting the corresponding hole in the earth to open up and swallow everything any minute now.
Wouldn't the opening picture make more sense to be a beer bottle opener DJF? Ha ha.
Great post, even though that whole fiasco really did piss me off.
Dammit... I was going to do a running diary for my site, then bailed when the game got postponed. Instead, I commented on The Season (which I actually like!)
Good stuff though, I like the site.
