Stupid Baseball

Well, due to the stupid baseball playoffs - aka the "World Series" (of america), I was forced to watch the Leaf game on the Ottawa channel. Man, I hate ottawa. I hate their sports teams, theirnews reporters and especially their commentators. It's a tough call between the Ottawa play by play guys and the ones on any given American Network.

I thought the officiating in the New NHL was tough on players, but these losers wasting my ear cells whined and complained every time a Leaf player crossed pathes with a sen. Every play was dirty in their eyes and they would have called 500 penalties had they had the whistles. Pierre McGuire and Jim Hugson have just moved up a few notches in my books. Stupid Ottawa.

Note: Sportsnet HD chose to air the Baseball game rather than the Leaf game, however I still would be complaining if I did want to pay for sportsnet as it would have only been in regular definition... *spit*

The Trees are Beautiful Up North

Well, we went to Cochrane for the Thanksgiving weekend, indulged in turkey for 6 straight meals and even spotted a UFO just outside North Bay


Below is a picture of a Tamarack tree (aka a Larch tree) in amongst the evergreens. They are the only Evergreen , in the pine family, which is not evergreen. Every fall, the needles turn golden and fall off. They are really quite nice to look at, especially considering that the rest of the trees had lost their leaves by the time we got there.

Bob Cole and Cassie Campbell?

So I turned on HNIC tonight to find Bob talking an awful lot and a female voice butting in a lot. Harry Neale isn't on tonight and it's tough to follow. Bob is scrambling a lot with the extra talking and Cassie is trying too hard. At least the video is in HD.. yummy HD.

Leafs are looking good, despite all the injuries to the D. Peca seems to not be playing tonight. That's not good.

Wednesday is gonna be big!

LOST and the Leafs season Opener against Ottawa. What more could you ask for in a night? I could do without attending the Prenatal course that night, but what do you do... breathe, he - he - he - hoo!

Predictions... LOST... I know the 6 episodes starting this week are going to catch us up with Jack, Sawyer and Kate with the Others. I believe Eko, Locke and Desmond are all ok, but I don't reckon we'll find out until February... Oh, and the others are just imaginary friends of the dog.

Predictions... Leafs... I'm picking the Leafs to win in OT. Because they stink in shootouts and I can't pick a team other than the Leafs. and the Sens Suck.
