Strangest Dream Ever?

I'm not quite sure why, but I had the oddest dream last night.

In it, I was a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox and we were playing the New York Yankees.

It gets weirder.....

We were playing the first game ever on ice.

It gets even weirder.....

Not just any ice, we were playing on a glacier, the continental ice shelf.

It gets still weirder.....

The umpire was mad at me for throwing a pitch called a Spitfire.

And, possibly strangest of all:

One of the players for the Yankees that was hitting against me was John Candy. He character name was Ralph but the personality was that of Uncle Buck.

Pretty screwed up, huh?

Best weekend of the year

Without a doubt, this is the best weekend of the sporting year in Canada.

I am, of course, talking about the Labor Day Classic weekend in the CFL, the weekend when the biggest rivalries in the league are battled out.

Today saw the woeful Argos beat the snot out of the even worse Ti-Cats and the Stampeders defeat the Eskimos in the battle of the West Basement. Friday night had the Lions mutilating the Alouettes (no love lost there).

But, as usual, the game of the week was the 'Riders-Bombers game. This game has been a blowout the last few years. This year the Riders decided to keep it close, only to rip out the hearts of Bomber fans everywhere with an easy touchdown run in the dying seconds to secure the win.

And it'll be twice as sweet to watch them do it again next week back in Winnipeg in the rematch.

The mystery hockey news.

Last Monday I received an issue of the The Hockey News in the mail. It was addressed to me, but I never subscribed to it. According to the cover, it looks like it won't expire until next September. So some mystery benefactor has bestowed to me a years subscription.

Thank you masked stranger....
