Evander Holyfield will fight Nikolai Valuev for one slice of the world heavyweight boxing championship on December 20th. This tells you all you need to know about the state of heavyweight boxing...Jose Calderon will miss at least a game? Memo to Pinnacle: I'm betting against the Raptors, money line...things I love about Hi Def: sports, Sarah Meehan, Kelly Kelly, Rachelle Leah...Nick Swisher is a Yankee? I think the Yankees have finally found a heart and soul guy like Paul O'Neill, provided Derek Jeter can't suck the personality out of him. And hey, they picked up Texeira - Kanekoa Texiera. Yes, I know the spelling is different, but the idea that Tex could be a Yankee has me moist...the MLB free agent season starts today, just over two hours ago.

Colour me shocked...Jason Blake wants to be moved from the Toronto Maple Leafs. No doubt they'd love to move him, if there was a big market for an overpaid goal scorer who can't score...Diego Maradona may quit as Argentina coach after a disagreement with a big wig in the Argentine FA. Hard to believe that situation would be volatile with the notoriously volatile Maradona, no?...UFC President Dana White says tomorrow's Randy Couture/Brock Lesnar fight will be the biggest pay-per-view fight in MMA history. Here's betting he's right...with three weeks to go, the amount of advertising for the Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins game in Toronto is incredible. Is anybody going to this thing?...in a result that should shock nobody, Cliff Lee is your AL Cy Young winner. Unlike the NL voting, there were not real candidates from winning teams that should've been ahead of Lee, unless you take the view a closer - Francisco Rodriguez - should be in the running..have a great Friday.

what was with sarah trying to look all, idunno, feminine and shit the last couple days?
prefer the *real* look.
From Tex to the guy who owned the worst BA in the majors. Nice.
He also hit more homers than ANY Toronto Blue Jay, and if you were doing your reading, you'd also know he lead the league in balls hit hard but at somebody (the "unlucky" stat). For Betemit? Steal. That doesn't preclude signing Tex too, by the way, though they're no doubt going wild on pitching.
Can't wait for your feeble attempt when CC signs.
I'm going to laugh if Tex and CC turns into Swisher and Burnett. Swisher is talented but had a frustrating and troublesome year. Sure he might bounce back, but it's more likely we see more of the same....
I'd have nothing to say if you guys land Sabathia. Dude is a horse, though I'd be soncerned with the strain the Brewers put on that arm last year...
Tex won't be a Yankee. Where would he fit in? Yanks were going to add one big bat from what I could gather and that bat has turned into the Swisher trade.
I wouldn't blame you for laughing - but can't see that happening. Interesting tidbit: guess who one of CC's best friends is? Nick Swisher.
I would be very shocked if they got Tex, but a 10 year deal at $200 is something I'm wary of already. My guess is Swish is there for first, and if they don't get a centre fielder to pan out, he'll be out there in 2010 and Jeter presumably at first (two more years of him at short and I might cry).
The success of your offseason hinges on whether you land Sabathia.
As for the Jays, my realistic ideal is trading Ryan and Overbay for Delgado, and then signing Sheets and Furcal. We need a top of the rotation starter and a big middle of the order left handed bat.
With the Yanks looking content with their lineup, it will also be interesting to who shows the money to Manny and Tex...
GBVH your right. Dunno she's coming across as a girly girl though I fuckin love the way she defended Yankee fans few weeks back when she said " well they aren't Toronto sports fans who are all searching for their Blackberry during a game"
speaking of, yf, i was at a concert in toronto on wednesday and holy fuck! everyone spent the whole show playing with their hand toys.
the things you notice when you're sober ...
