Good baseball times those were in Toronto, the broadcasts themselves were not as uptight and certainly less formal. I can remember a time when Chevrier was describing the prize that could be given out to a fan if the Jay at bit hit a Grand Slam, or something to that effect. It was a ghetto blaster and I don't remember the actual company that made it but they none the less referred to it as the "Super Woofer" . He followed that up with a laugh and said "I have a Woofer at home". It got even funnier as both him and Bernie; I think that's who it was, realized that the "Woofer" referred to could have actually meant one of TWO things. Just a candid moment in time inspired by the now immortalized "Who gives a fuck". He's already got his tombstone picked out, I'm sure of it.<br /><br />Cheers.looshVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565162166960940336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-33435189150935016752010-04-12T01:07:59.147-04:002010-04-12T01:07:59.147-04:00Thanks for all the input, folks.

Much appreciated.<br /><br />@ The1&OnlyBaltimoreFanWhoLivesInToronto: How about "Baltimore: Where you can send your 4th and 5th starters, and de facto "ace," to the mound, get nothing from Vernon Wells, not play Aaron Hill, and still come away with a sweep." Yes. I like that.<br /><br />@ Anonymous: The Sausage King's numbers are ghastly. It hasn't been pretty, but you're right, he's got the job done and bounced back after blowing game one.<br /><br />@ Escaped: The game I went to last year accompanied with the sign was not a good one for Vernon. I believe he was 0-for. A HR would be nice.<br /><br />@ LooshV: Poor Rios is going to hear it tomorrow night. It'll be nothing compared to what Burnett got, but I imagine we'll be hearing lots of "Who Gives A Fuck"'s. And, no, TFC has never gotten off to a good start. As in, it takes them a few games to score a goal, and then grab a win. There's only one Toronto team that gets off to a blazing start: Cito's Toronto Blue Jays.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-37338021685783364022010-04-12T00:06:06.453-04:002010-04-12T00:06:06.453-04:00I can't say that I follow footy but has TFC ev...I can't say that I follow footy but has TFC ever gotten off to a good start?looshVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565162166960940336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-46038960362785269762010-04-12T00:03:51.188-04:002010-04-12T00:03:51.188-04:00@Garrett
