THE JAYS REALLY DO STRUGGLE IN NL PARKS!

One more loss like that, and Montenegro is going to declare its independence from Serbia. Wait a second ...

  • The Toronto Star's Richard Griffin dug up the dirt on the Jays' interleague woes: Try a 1-9 record in their last 10 games in NL parks. What's interesting is the Jays might play Troy Glaus at shortstop for a couple games on this trip to Florida and Atlanta. Also of note: Griffin brings up that intentional pass to Lyle Overbay that backfired on the Orioles yesterday, but didn't question Baltimore's dubious strategy.
  • The feeling here is the Oilers have gone from having a 5% chance of winning the series coming into Game 5 to now being pretty much an even-money bet. Here's Al Strachan's take.
  • Such is life in Leafs-land: the Star also noted that even if Tie Domi's contract is bought out, his $1.25 million salary will still count against the salary cap in 2006-07. So ultimately, the Leafs are stuck in a bad decision. It says here that if there's nothing to be gained, salary cap wise, in buying out Domi, then let him come back for one more season.
  • DCSportsChick is very happy today: the Capitals' AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, became the Calder Cup champions last night.
  • Chad Finn is having some fun with random 1980s baseball cards.
  • Yes, someone was dumb enough to write a season preview on every CFL team: Here they are: Hamilton Tiger-Cats, MontrĂ©al Alouettes, Toronto Argonauts, Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the East; and in the West: B.C. Lions, Calgary Stampeders, Edmonton Eskimos, Saskatchewan Roughriders.)

That's all for now. Send your thoughts to neatesager@yahoo.ca. Now let's hear it for Lost Prophets.

You bet I was happy! Hopefully that will transfer into some success for the Caps next season.
