Attention baseball fans – 2009 tickets go on sale this Friday. The Jays home opener will take place April 6th against the Detroit Tigers, and tickets will be available by calling (416) 341-1234, at www.bluejays.com, Rogers Centre Gate 9, or the Jays Shop at Sears Yonge and Dundas. As a related FYI it looks like Paul and I will be heading into Chicago for a Cubs game on May 17th and a White Sox game on May 19th. If anyone here is interested in joining in give me the heads-up, I can pick up extra tickets.
It appears my feelings against trading Kaberle may be expanding to the office of Brian Burke. Although Tomas has provided his list of 10 (apparently exclusively Eastern Conference) teams he’d waive his no-trade for, Burke responded “I like this guy.. bet on him staying” yesterday. The apparent asking price? A top prospect and a 1st round draft pick, something he’s unlikely to garner and is likewise looking towards perhaps keeping the blueliner. One interested sidenote: The Leafs are contractually allowed to trade Kaberle anywhere they wish this summer if (when) the Leafs miss the playoffs.
This article made me laugh today: Vermont store’s blue items make customers see red. Some 64-year-old mail-order country store out of Weston, Vermont called ‘The Vermont Country Store’ has added a line of “six-speed vibrators, instructional sex videos, pleasure gels for older folks who need a little help, and all-natural arousal cream.” The older Orton, who inherited the business from his dad, figures he got 600 letters, most of them critical. Some called the offerings “pornographic.” Others told Orton his father wouldn’t have approved. “You’d think I suggested that we sell nuclear devices to terrorists,” he responded. For their part his kids don’t seem all that supportive of dad’s muse: “It’s hard to read the customer letters,” said Cabot Orton, 39, wincing as he sat in the store Tuesday, talking about the response. His father, Lyman, is the store’s proprietor. “It makes me a little ill, really.”
