I've got my Freeplay Ranger tuned to The Fan 590 right now. It's something I've done hundreds and hundreds of times in my life. I'm listening to Blue Jays baseball on the radio. There's a gaping, unfillable hole in this broadcast. The voice of Tom Cheek is noticeably absent. Sadly,
Prior to Michelle's birth, I was told by many that I'd notice a big difference in my daughter's early years compared with my son's. I was told she'd hit all her milestones earlier, such as sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, etc. I took it all with a grain of salt
Joel Kwiatkowski was acquired by the Leafs eight days ago and last night the move paid off when he scored 2:07 into overtime to give St. John's a 4-3 win over the Hamilton Bulldogs. The win moves the Leafs back into a second-place tie with the Manitoba Moose in
"English? Who needs that? I'm never going to England!"
Mark McGwire ticked me off from the start. In his rookie season he hit 49 home runs for the Oakland Athletics beating George Bell by two to win the league crown. This was back in '87 when George Bell was my favourite player who I desperately wanted to win the
I would have just submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS13 consideration, but it was already submitted. I was going to submit "The Widow" by The Mars Volta. It's a sensational song and a shoe in for SLS13. I hear the entire album is awesome and

The Wall Street Journal recently had an interesting article on the yelling of "Freebird" at rock concerts. Yelling "Freebird!" has been a rock cliché for years, guaranteed to elicit laughs from drunks and scorn from music fans who have long since tired of the joke. And it has spread beyond
With only a few more hours remaining in St. Patricks' Day 2005, here are my ten favourite songs with the word "green" in the title. Green Onions - Booker T & the MGsFiddler's Green - The Tragically HipLittle Green Bag - The George Baker SelectionGreen Disease - Pearl JamGreen River
Band To Band.com - "Bands have a tendency to share band members from time to time and as a result it is not difficult to construct a simple "family tree" based upon the interrelationship of band members. We at BandToBand.com decided to find out how large this extended
Andre Norton was 93. She was the science fiction and fantasy author who wrote the popular Witch World series.
I remember a pre-teen version of myself timidly approaching the elderly woman behind the counter of the Irish Store and asking if she had a print of the Doors of Dublin. Ryan was there too and our plan was to buy this print and have it framed for our Grandmother
We'll forgive the Leafs for laying an egg last night. They had won six in a row after all. Last night, they started Jean-Sebastien Aubin in net even though Mikael Tellqvist had started all six games during the winning streak and Aubin proved to be a little rusty. Apparently rust
Danny Joe Brown was 53. He was the original lead singer of Southern rock collective Molly Hatchet.
I just chucked a Pearl Jam update on the fire so it's only fair I follow it up with a Hip update. Dan Aykroyd will be appearing at the upcoming Juno awards to honour Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees The Tragically Hip. That's Sunday, April 3rd in case you
Ed and the boys are quietly working on their next studio album. Matt Cameron told Rolling Stone, "There's a lot more up-tempo stuff. It's a lot more rockin' than our last one." Some new songs in consideration are "Severed Hand," "Worldwide Suicide," "2X4," "Marker," "Cold Concession" and "Unemployable". I'm thinking
I've poked fun at The New VR before. For over a decade this station out of Barrie has been calling itself new. The statute of limitations on "new" ran out a long, long time ago. Apparently, parent company CHUM Television has grown tired of the New VR jokes. They plan

Kyle Wellwood and David Ling each had a goal and an assist as the St. John's Maple Leafs extended their American Hockey League winning streak to six games Tuesday night by doubling the Cleveland Barons 4-2. The victory was the 38th of the season for St. John's, giving the Leafs
Back in the day, we used to be aggravated by pop-ups when surfing the web. Then, we all installed pop-up killers or switched to a browser that killed them for us. I haven't been bugged by pop-ups in well over a year. Lately, when visiting a Maple Leafs fan site,
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. I heard on the news that Molson Canadian changed their "I AM CANADIAN" slogan to "IT STARTS HERE" or something like that. I think the I Am Canadian was more target
I'm pissed. I just learned that Paul Godfrey fired long time public address announcer Murray Eldon. I've never attended a Blue Jays game without hearing Eldon's sweet voice announcing the batters. If I close my eyes I can still hear his signature deliveries for Damaso Garcia, Willie Upshaw, Alfredo Griffin,
This note's still for you, only now you can look stylish while listening to it. We at Smells Like Sour are now selling official Smells Like Sour tee shirts. See for yourself. If your wardrobe doesn't contain one of these suckers, you're just not happening.
It's March and that means the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament set to get underway. There are ten Canadians in the tournament, but we're focusing on one young man from Montreal. His name is Juan Mendez. Mendez set the all-time Canadian NCAA scoring record this season while playing for Niagara and
