Jobamania!

Canadians Jason Bay and Justin Morneau are 2nd and 3rd in the American League in RBI...still have a bit of a chuckle when I see the Cleveland Indians home is called Progressive Field...seems a bit odd that the Montreal Canadiens would hire Jacques Martin to coach. Martin is a notorious defence first coach on a team that looks to attack, and hardly a playoff performer on a club where playoff success is all that matters. That said, Carey Price fantasy owners will be thrilled...the New York Yankees have set the MLB record for games without an error at 18 in downing the Cleveland Indians 5-2 to open a lead of a game on Boston. Of all the things this Yankee fan hoped for this year, that's one I would not have expected. What's that line about defense and championships?...UFC 99 will see the return of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. Maybe he'll finally live up to the hype that preceded his very uninspiring fights in his previous UFC outings? He'll take on the mammoth Mustapha Al-Turk...not sure how much experience Alvin Williams will bring as a Toronto Raptors assistant coach but if he can give that team even a small percentage increase in playing with heart - which the guy known as "The Raptor" is better suited than anyone - that will at least give them, you know, some...Toronto FC are in Vancouver to face the Whitecaps tonight and need only a draw to take the Canadian Championship, making up for last year's debacle...Chris Bosh has a DVD due in the fall featuring his many online characters. If you buy this, you're a loser...one reason why the LA Dodgers might not be as great as they appear: they're 23-9 against the horrific NL West, and a still respectable, but nowhere near as dominant 12-9 against the rest...Jim Balsillie has filed a formal application to move the Phoenix Coyotes. Me and a few long-time Leafs sufferers - err - fans have always said if a team gets closer than Toronto, we're freed from our obligations so really, really hoping this comes true, though the idea of Hamilton is something less than ideal...tonight, bet the San Francisco Giants on the run line at -1.5 +116 at the Washington Nationals. Enjoy.

So Kaka is coming to BMO Field this summer? Not yet confirmed but rumours all over the net that he has signed for Real!

I will buy it if he does a RuPaul.

Martin is a horrible coach but atleast he satifies the french speaking quota.

I find it hard to believe that excluding guys that don't speak French is a great way to find a coach. Yeah, I know it is Montreal, but if the English national soccer team can hire an Italian, why can't the Habs open the resume hunt to guys that just speak English too and have him learn some? Seems small thinking to me.

ts said...

Sarcasm on my part, I agree with you. Most rational Habs fans are pissed with this move!
So stupid, if you want a guy and he needs to speak french put it in his contract to learn it! Then hire some hot french chick to follow him around all day for $50k a year and teach him!

TB said...

Oh I knew it was sarcastic.

Besides, it'd be easier to teach a mute to speak French than it would be to make Martin sound, you know, interesting.

I truely believe that Ottawa would have had a cup or two with someone decent at the helm during his tenor.
