To answer yesterday's question on what do England, Germany, Scotland, France, Spain, Holland, Italy and Croatia all have in common, the answer is obviously NOT that all are in Euro 2008 - because England and Scotland are not, of course - but that all of their top soccer leagues had the same champion in 2008 as in 2007...the French Open is on? Who knew?...Steve Nash is looking into MLS franchise ownership. This can only be a good thing for the league...the Tampa Bay Rays are in first and drawing flies. What a joke. Also a joke is the umpires calling a ball that hit the catwalk and never came down a homer, then reversing it and calling it a double. That's five such disputed homerun calls in the last 10 days...when I picked Pittsburgh in six, what I really meant was Pittsburgh might only score six, which is now looking overly generous after a second shutout loss...oh, and about all those headlines and features on Gary Roberts as the difference maker? Nevermind. Roberts going after Pavel Datsyuk was real class too (that's sarcasm for the newer readers)...there's no way the Bills in Toronto numbers aren't inflated. Of my friends and beyond, I know of four that registered, myself included. All four won the lottery. That's either incredible luck, or the 180,000 entries advertised is a lie. Wouldn't it be great if it didn't sell out?...David Beckham scored from 70 metres out in the dying moments of the LA Galaxy win over Kansas City on Saturday...the Blue Jays are an incredible 13-1 in afternoon games. Now, if at least half of those were at home, what does this say of Toronto's nightlife?...I never thought being in the shadow of 500 career homers would effect Manny Ramirez, but he's been stuck of 498 for weeks now...Toronto FC travel to face the Montreal Impact in the opening leg of Champions League action for Canada. The game can be seen on CBC Bold at 7pm tonight. I expect former TFC defender Adam Braz, now with Montreal, to get abused in a TFC victory...have a great Tuesday.

no love for the toronto-montreal battle tonight, mango?
tough crowd.
(Now editing)
The Beckham goal was on open net though... So I still like this beauty from him better (though a few meters shorter)

CBC Bold? Is that a new channel or will this be on regular cable?
Both the NHL and NBA post seasons have been hard to watch at the moment. Having games decided after the first 5mins. does that for you.
It used to be CBC Country Canada. Apparently channel 641 on ExpressVu which, oddly, is one channel I don't have. SOUR!
There showing it online for free thank God.
Where? Toronto FC's site?
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/
i checked the rogers box last night and it's listed on (i think) channel 277.
game line:
Montreal Impact pk and +0.5 +105 Toronto FC pk and -0.5 -121
OVER 2.5 +100
UNDER 2.5 -116
TF-ree money!
Looks like my prediction of the Wings in 5 might have been a tad generous towards the Pens.
Still say Pens win one at home.
Having lost 700$ on March Madness/ NBA Playoffs I'm seriously considering putting down a grand on TFC. -121 would be me in and around 830$
All this gambling talk - good thing I've got an affiliate coming shortly!

holy balls!!!!
games like this scare the crap out of me. never having played each other, never having played same competition etc.
and the team which is the lesser light always seems to be jacked for these kind of games.
you fellas not recall the kdsl all-stars beating the csl all-stars 1-0 at centennial stadium in kitchener in the early '90s!?
(i think that's how it went down...)
edit: i think it was the kdsl all-stars beating kitchener's CSL team. which was likely the spirit, but could have been the kickers.
Yea but I work at BMO field and I can name 5 players who are on a short leash for the starting spot. They'll have that fire tonight (not watching this game til Midnight) Also can't see them losing to Montreal (used to watch their games on the french channel).
montreal was the better team in the first half. shoulda got a PK.
toronto the better team in the second and earned the slim win.
(montreal played most of second half with 10 men.)
robert must have lost the ball half a dozen times tonight. looked lazy as hell. maybe he thought it was a friendly!?
jimmy brennan gets my man of the match vote.
tough to watch -- horrible camera work and commentary just as lost.
re: Roberts. more embarrassing is the dive Franzen took after Roberts gave him a noogie. Sometimes, you just gotta get in their dome. If that keeps non-hockey fans away from the NHL...so what, me says.
Pens in 6, still. Serious. I think.
