Jorn's Jottings II - Jot Harder
Well, I haven't come across anything in the local rags over the last ten days worth writing a thousand words about, so I'll do what any hack does when they lack imagination and have little of importance to say: a notebook!...
That earth-shattering scream of orgasmic pleasure you heard earlier this evening was no doubt Richard Griffin learning that Pat Gillick will soon be on the rebound...Gillick, you may recall, built two World Series teams in Toronto and is still the subject of weekly mash notes from the Toronto baseball scribes...The betting here is that Grimace's column calling for the Jays to can JP and bring back Gillick will be in Thursday's Star...I've got my skittles in the "under" pile...
David Shoalts informed us today that the Leafs weren't forced to take Mark Bell in the Vesa Toskala trade, which contradicts every piece of information I have ever heard, read, or watched regarding the deal..."We are told Ferguson lusted after Bell from the player's days with the Chicago Blackhawks," writes Shoalts, leaving it up to the reader to determine the identity of the deepthroat whispering into his royal ear...I'm guessing that it is either a tiny green alien banished from the planet Zetox for inventing a doomsday machine, or Shoalts just says things into a tape-recorder, plays the tape back, and quotes the un-named source in his column...
Mr. Till has labeled me a Barry Bonds apologist for my continued defence of everyone's favourite baseball blogger, so I will leave the commentary on Barry's departure from the Giants up to others...if you want to read insightful analysis of this saga, you must, of course, turn to Stephen Brunt...if you want to read coverage that is insipid, pointless, or just mind-bogglingly wrong, you can click here, here, and here, respectively...
Sorry for the short post today...I have to go to bed early tonight and get some rest...tomorrow is Lamebag Day!
