Tommy Holmes was 91. He hit in 37 consecutive games for the Boston Braves in 1945 to set a modern National League record that stood until it was broken by Pete Rose.

Frank Thomas is on the verge of history. Thomas will become the man with the most plate appearances without having a single stinking sacrifice hit if he gets to the plate four times tonight in Baltimore. George Bell was another Jay who simply didn't bunt, as was Carlos Delgado. Still,
When I went to bed last night, the Sharks led the Flames 3-0. I couldn't believe my ears when the shower radio told me Calgary came back and won. Cujo does it again. The committee met last night and we're going to strip Patino of his four Steve Avery points.

I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog. If you don't remember Blue Jays righty Joe Johnson, you're forgiven. His MLB career was pretty short. He's awfully lucky he got a 1988 Topps card. We actually traded Jim Acker to
Autism: The Musical: 8 out of 10. I'm a lucky SOB. My kids are developing "normally" and are healthy and happy. Autism, once diagnosed in 1 in 10,000 children and now in 1 in 150 children, seems to be everywhere. My mother works with autistic children, and I've been
Newfoundland and Labrador's Damhnait Doyle has released an album of interesting covers entitled Lights Down Low. I caught wind of this new release because one of the tracks Doyle covers is The Tragically Hip's "Bobcaygeon", one of my favourite songs from my favourite band. You can hear it right here
This was to join our annual playoff pool, people! The three dudes holding down the top three positions right now, Drew, Mike C. and Patino, are our three newcomers. At the beginning of the season, nobody could have predicted that both the Ducks and Sens would look so listless after
Humble Howard is trying to promote use of the term vagenius when referring to "a good looking, smart chick". His examples include Tina Fey, and that got me thinking about the wonderful world of stock photography. In my 9-5 world, I spend a lot of time with stock images. I'm
Edge 102.1 has redesigned their web site. I only discovered the new Edge.ca when I was checking in on the latest Thursday 30 results. That's pretty much the only reason I click over to Edge.ca. I've always enjoyed following the Thursday 30. Unfortunately, the new redesign has
Carlos Delfino had 24 points and Chris Bosh scored 21 plus nine rebounds as the host Toronto Raptors cruised to a 113-85 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Friday night. The win officially eliminated Vince Carter and the Nets from the post-season. It was about a year ago I
Drew is riding the Penguin train to glory, racking up big time points from Malkin and Malone. He's 7 points up on Steve who has a well balanced attack with 9 of his 10 players getting points. I have the opposite problem. My first 8 picks in the draft have
YouTube user WNED17 recently uploaded some fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems. These clips have brought back a tonne of memories for me, so I'm going to feature them one by one over the next few weeks. I subscribe to The Movie Network (TMN). If you want to see movies and series from

Former Toronto Blue Jay Ed Sprague, the game-winning home run in game 2 of the 1992 World Series against the Atlanta Braves hitter Ed Sprague, the monster season in 1996 Ed Sprague, has admitted to taking steroids and using a corked bat to help inflate his statistics. I took Andro
Right now I'm radioactive. I was injected with a radioactive substance at 8am and now I'm just waiting for the substance to collect within my skeletal system. This test was ordered by Dr. Lum after six weeks of treatment failed to cure me. For more on what ails me, go
How do you bring down the Stanley Cup champions? Get me to draft three of their stars, that's how. The Ducks were shut out yesterday, which means I was shut out yesterday. Certain guys just seem to score come playoff time. Lehtinen and Morrow are two of those guys. Claude
We in Raging Storm held our first practice of the season tonight. We're breaking in a few newbies so we wanted to hook up and shake some of the rust off. After the game, Rich asked a few of us who lingered to shoot the shite if we wanted a
Excluding games on my Nintendo Wii, I've golfed exactly once in my life. It was "lifetime gym" in grade 12 and we took a field trip to a local course to play nine holes. That was over 16 years ago. One of my brothers golfs quite a bit. I know
I sure am glad I drafted two Sens! That was the kiss of death for Ottawa. I've never won this damn pool, and even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. My New Jersey duo laid an egg as well. Thank goodness for Wolski and the Avs,
I wrote earlier in the week about Rick Leach, a Toronto Blue Jay from 1985 to 1988. I had no idea Rick Leach was best known in the USA as the stellar quarterback from the University of Michigan. I just found a 1978 clip that compares Rick Leach to Joe
When American Idol aired last night, I was busy dodging balls. It has since come to my attention that contestant David Cook, previously written about here and my personal favourite in the competition, performed a song from the Our Lady Peace catalogue calling OLP his "favourite band". I've always had

The Stanley Cup playoffs kick off tonight and I'll be focusing on the Pens / Sens series. You see, without a team to passionately root for, I find comfort in passionately rooting against the Ottawa Senators. Even though I drafted a couple of Sens in my playoff pool, I'll be cheering
For the second time in less than eight months, I'm a champion. My slo-pitch team won our division last September and tonight my dodgeball team won the co-ed division. Dodgeball is fun when you're losing, but it's hellishly fun when you're winning. We dominated tonight, and that's the best. It's
