Blue Jays with live to play another day. Cleveland starting a rookie pitcher today. If Blue Jay bats ever come alive (stop trying to hit home runs every at bat (hello Batista) then they could actually make this thing interesting giving how many injuries Cleveland has to starting pitchers.
Thank God they are gone. Baseball is as interesting and useful as a sandwich at a buffet. I once went to a Jays game, smoked a joint and then had a snooze up in the 500s. GO LEAFS GO GO LEAFS GO GO LEAFS GO GO LEAFS GO
How's the bud out there? Oh and LMFAO about the Leafs. They're an even bigger failure than the Blue Jays.
There's always hope. We have some decent talent and the best coach in the NHL, but then again what do you know about hockey living on the left coast.
No need to thank the imaginary invisible man in the sky, the Jays screwed themselves. Yeah, I can't stand watching baseball either but the playoffs makes me stomach it somewhat. Leafs? Now that is the biggest joke in pro sports. Did they build a statue of Auston Matthews yet?
Too funny, but things are looking up for the Leafs. Some promising talent + the best coach in hockey = hope 4-0 Leafs vs Winterpeg
My thoughts exactly. I can't stand baseball but I magically get drawn in every post season. Kind of like college basketball for me
It's kind of funny when American sports fans say soccer is boring yet they prefer to watch baseball which 80% of the 3 hours is spent standing around waiting for a guy to throw a ball... Still gotta root for the jays, too bad Cleveland was on their game but in the end they deserved to go through. Also Go Leafs Go
Enough to know the leaves blow. Rookie set a record and scores 4 goals, they still find a way to lose. Haven't won shit in 50 years. But whatever you say
Love baseball and soccer. But baseball is an acquired taste. Totally technique and strategy. And it's on everyday. Soccer > every other sport
I think I might be the only Canadian that would rather watch 3 hours of slam poetry over hockey. Hell, I think I'd prefer listening to a couple of fat girls discuss their menstrual cycles for a couple hours. Hockey reminds me of watching 8 year olds playing soccer, they all just clutter around the ball(puck) and you can't tell what's going on. I have a hard time being able to tell the difference between the best team and the worst team. Looks to me the better teams are the ones that get the most shots from the blue line, that deflect off of 2 ankle's and a knee, before squeezing by the goalie wearing over sized equipment. I also feel like if I watch a hockey game, I need a 24 of Molson, while my friends Kyle, Josh and Gordon are digging into a bowl of honey garlic wings my wife Skylar made, while we all sit their on my dirty couch below my mounted moose head. In other words, it's to"white" for me. Okay rant over, naaaah, hockey fuc*ing sucks.
lol man I am so out of touch with the Canadians. Ok, my bad. Leafs* (sounds so grammatically incorrect).
haha slam poetry?! Damn, that's tough. Hockey is too much of a cluster f*ck for me as well. I watch it for the occasional San Jose Sharks choke-fest, but other than them being a local team, I probably wouldn't care much about it at all. It is the ultimate man's sport for sure though.
We were up 4-0 and Winnipeg comes back and takes it 4-5. That's a young team for you. Regarding baseball, ironically I've been to a shi t load of baseball games and I've never had a bad time. In my line of work and the amount of travel I do throughout the states, I get a lot of tickets thrown my way and I always go to the game. I've never scalped a ticket because I love the social aspect of the game. Whether in Boston, New York, San Fran, Toronto, Kansas City or La I've always had a great time at a baseball park. Socially, baseball games are great. How could they not be. Sun + booze+fresh air + good friends =a good time . I once saw a game at AT & T park in San Fran, or whatever they call it now, and drank from the 1st inning to the last inning while talking to a guy beside me about music and how Depeche Mode were one of the best bands of the 80s/90s. I literally saw nothing of the game that particular day. So much so that my buddy had to tell me and remind me twice that the game was over. As for the game itself. Yuck, boring, slow, pedantic really.
In Toronto? It's great we got strains from everywhere ( a lot of the cannibus cup winners and runners up)and talented hippies growing locally lol
You honestly can't tell what's happening in a hockey game? It is the fastest game in terms of player movement but c'mon it's like faster mini soccer or futsal with sticks it's not far off from the premise of soccer.
Oh it's not simple but from what I know it's not a (direct)reference to actual leaves from the Maple. It is reference to a World War Canadian Army regiment known as the Maple Leaf Regiment that may or may not have actually existed and most likley was a reference to the maple leaf that most Canadian regiments had as their badge. Or even more likely named after the Toronto Maple Leaf baseball team that existed before the NHL name and then the excuse of the army came up to make the name have more meaning. Either way because the name isn't directed at actual leaves (although it is the logo) and instead the Maple Leaf baseball team, a regiment or the badge of several regiments grammatically "Leafs" is correct albeit very confusingly.
