Free Beer For All

Friday, June 20th, 2008

My new campaign slogan. Catchy, eh?

Unexpected entertainment from Major League Baseball

The Blue Jays, who have exactly three players on their roster whose names I recognize, have fired their manager (who he?) and replaced him with…
Cito Gaston.
Whatever Dennis Eckersley is up to these days, I’m sure Cito still considers him half a woman.

Not me. I don’t think that at all. You could not be farther from the truth with that assertion. Stop accusing me of having dancing pretensions. Damned TV.
