Looks like Junior Felix just might be their right fielder for the next ten years

 

The Just Like Mom reference was brilliant. My youngest brother used to love it for the train wrecks in the bake offs. Pour a pile of ketchup and a bottle of ginger ale on top of the crushed bag of sour cream and onion chips.

Fergie's daughter's been on The Weather Network for the past several years. Nice rack.

 

He & Lou Thornton will cover alot of ground out there.

 

Jays can't lose with Schmidt. He won the Golden Spikes at UNO, you know.

 

Sirs, Madames,

They're gonna field an all-Dominican team someday. And we'll be askin': What happened to the White Jays?

I'm all for giving Joey McLaughlin another chance.

Going all the way up to the Wheat Sheaf? Well, if they've got a satellite dish, maybe. Nothing like getting out of the game and going to the Food Building or getting lit over at Eidelweiss at Ontario Place.

YHS, etc

 

Man, have I been lit up at the Eidelweiss.

Maybe it's me but I really thought Steve Bowling had what it took to be an everyday player.

Hey Mr. Friend O', if I order a 50 or Labatt Crystal at your joint will they dust it off for me?

 

Mr Huggy,

I draw the line at Crystal.

Y'know, before I made the big time, the Shammy door that is, I used to clean the Ontario Place bars drim last call til dawn. I'd love to say good times, but can't.

You know, the Barfield guy might work out--emphasis on might--but they lost a Hall of Fame type (arm especially) when Paul Hodgson went down. The one shot we'll have in our lifetime of a Canadian winning a MVP in the major leagues.

YHS, etc

 

Awful, awful book.

 

I've read this entire thread -- including Shea's "I was drunk" mea culpa -- and I still have no fucking idea what this was about, although as noted, our north-of-the-border friends made it something interesting, if still "I have no fucking idea what this is about."

 

Mr Express,

By way of explanation, I think that was Mr Seals over his limit at the Shamrock--beer-strike buzz--had to toss him and the last thing he said was something about being the fastest white guy in Toronto 'cept for maybe Dave Collins when I was chasing him down the street. Something like that.

I still think if they're gonna win it's gonna be with Luis Leal. 'Course I said the same thing about Victor Cruz. Oh and I said Scotland Yard about Jim Clancy's coat--my beer-strike buzz--it was Brandy's of course, Ernie Whitt's favorite hang-out.

YHS, etc

 

Boy, that Roy Lee Jackson is a hell of a singer, I'll tell ya.
