Our friend John writes: Although last night’s baseball game was ‘the most interesting and entertaining game anyone has ever seen’, it’s funny that a game with so many errors and sub-par pitching makes for ‘best baseball game ever” for some. Yet a hockey game that changes leads 4 or 5 times and ends up 9-8 (record for goals in one game) was a brutal display of goaltending and defense.

The Leafs, who matter to Torontonians more than all the other teams combined, have not won the Stanley Cup since 1967, and they haven’t made the playoffs in a franchise-record six seasons. The only team with a longer dry spell is the Florida Panthers. The Leafs’ major source of hope seems to be Brian Burke himself, but when the major source of your dreams is a front-office guy, you are in a dark place. Cheering a GM, to me, is hitting rock bottom.

Epic Boston Red Sox hat hack.

At Fenway Park, the vendors wear yellow shirts and yellow Red Sox hats.  I was at a game two days after the Bruins had won the Stanley Cup.  One vendor was excited enough to make some modifications, turning his oddly-colored Sox cap into an oddly-appropriate Bruins tribute.
