Re. Cito Gaston

As far as I'm concerned, Cito Gaston deserves to be in the Baseball Hall-of-Fame.

- Two World Series titles
- Two American League pennants
- Four AL East titles
- Over 800 wins

I rest my case.

Here is Cito in his own words, thanking the fans. True class.

Re. C.C. Sabathia

DAMN!

Sabathia showed Kyle Drabek how it's done.

However, I still think the playoffs will not be kind to the Yankees.

Re. A.J. Burnett

It amazes me how such an inconsistent pitcher can make so much money.

The playoffs will not be kind to the Yankees.

Re. A Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man

There were some scenes I really enjoyed. There were also some scenes that dragged on. Overall, it was a good story. There were times I could relate to Stephen, the main character.

Personally, I think I would've appreciated the book more during my early twenties. That's how old Stephen is when everything in the plot comes together.

Next book: Briefing For a Descent into Hell by Doris Lessing

I think it's about the Maple Leafs, post-1967. Hiyoooo!

You will not believe how many Kevin Browns are out there. Ditto for John Tavares (plural) and Alex Gonzalez(s).

Re. George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight

I have to be honest. I'm not liking the new name

‎"George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight" = Generic and lame.

Seriously, what's so bad about "The Hour?"
