Or does this Twitter from the Oilers team account contain a whiff of the judgemental? Quinn: Brule out for grandmother's funeral, for the sixth time this year. Will miss tonight's game.

Why not losing in Boston?  That is what we (the BoSox) did today, right? Yeah.  I don't have the energy right now, but consider it a placeholder for a rant I've had brewing awhile.  More soo...

Against my better judgement, here I am, and I even dug my jersey out of the closet. Fresh bread will come out of the oven soon, but it better NOT be the best part of the evening. GOilers. UPD...

Per TSN , MacT will coach Team Canada for the 2009 Spengler Cup. And uh, you know, Comrie is an Oiler. Yup. If this causes me to run into Hillary Duff on my next Edmonton visit, man that's gonn...

The MLB All-Star Game this year was, as always, a bloated spectacle, and from my partisan point of view, a disappointing one. I thought it was pretty lousy of Joe Maddon not to put Wakefield in--...

I'm delighted by the news that Tim Wakefield will be one of the six Red Sox players (including Horc's buddy Jason Bay) playing in the 2009 MLB All-Star Game.  Wakefield, a 42-year-old knuckle...

Harrumph. This day is just annoying me more and more. I'll miss you, Crazy Eyes. Sorry you're going to one of the most obnoxious arenas in the league.

I love poutine.  As a lifelong resident of North America South, I was not exposed to it until D brought me home to Edmonton to meet his family.  Since then, I have been trying to make up for...

Back in February/March I traveled to Santa Barbara for a few weeks with D for his work. We did it as a roadtrip from TX, and it was pretty fun, except for the part where my wallet was stolen out ...
