Sweep!

At BMO

Obviously the big news is that Release the Hounds won the Monday Competitive Championship on Friday with a convincing 7-point victory over the Disciples of Love. Thus completed the most dominating title run since whenever the last Women's hockey tournament that Canada played in. Taking away the 6-0 default win, we won our games by an average of 19 points. But I think more impressive was limited our opponents to an average of 12 points per game.

As someone noted, it's like we were the Patriots, except that we actually won all of our games.

At the SkyDome Rogers Centre

Friday night was a busy night, as Christian and I attended the Blue Jays home opener against the Red Sox. Shaun Marcum was on fire as he struck out 8 over 7 innings. Unfortunately, we had to leave after the seventh inning, but at least we were able to see the Jays, rocking their kick-ass powder blue uniforms take the lead (which they would not relinquish). Of course, after we left there was a fight in the stands a few sections away from our seats, plus a couple of quasi-streakers before the final out. Also, I didn't get drunk.

You're welcome.

The Blue Jays had strong pitching all weekend, and Frank Thomas drove in 8 runs as they swept the Red Sox. It's still early, but it's nice to see such a strong showing right out of the gate.

For better Blue Jays analysis, there are quite a few sites out there, and I have found these two to be excellent ones:

1) The Mockingbird - This is written by a friend of mine, although I think it is just his excuse for constantly using pitch f/x. It's a site that analyzes things like batting slumps and success, pitcher's great or Towers-esque starts, and bad umpiring. All while mixing in a healthy dose of sarcasm.

2) Drunk Jays Fans - This could be the most appropriately named site since Hot Chicks with Douchebags. Considering they usually are drunk when they post, they know their shit, and are fucking hilarious. I have to swear when describing it because...well, just check it out.

TUC BBS threads that I did not write

I found this one to be amusing. All I can say is this: aren't we all, Leroy...aren't we all...

We've got to give Disciples props for kicking our asses at karaoke!

I think we need to give DOL props for making us run hard all game. I think that was one of the lowest-scoring starts ever! They forced us to move the disc around (which we did) and pick our scoring moments.

Also, props to our defence for not giving up a lot of easy points.

Let's never speak of karaoke again.

Cheers to that, DOL are some Karaoke loving peeps!

Who quasi-streaks really?? Where's your one notch? A true streaker would've got a few dry-humps in on the first base ump.
