My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Please follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): There are no Canadians playing in this year’s World Series, but Cardinals closer Jason Motte was born in Port Huron, Mich., just across the border from Sarnia, Ont. The bearded stopper is a spitting image of Hall... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Roberto Alomar, Dave Stieb, Deion Sanders
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Please follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): People have asked me how I feel about Roberto Alomar’s induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame today. Let’s just say I’m very happy for Pat Gillick and Dave Van Horne. I’ll say this about Alomar:... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Jose Bautista, Gary Carter, Scott Mathieson
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Please follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): I can understand the Blue Jays’ decision to move Jose Bautista to third base until Brett Lawrie recovers from his broken hand. But the idea of Corey Patterson, Rajai Davis and Eric Thames patrolling the outfield together... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Edwin Encarnacion, Roberto Alomar, J.P. Ricciardi
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): I still feel that Blue Jays fans are too harsh on Edwin Encarnacion, but I have to admit they are very clever. With his two errors at first base in Wednesday’s game, witty Jays supporters have taken to... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Russell Martin, Adam Lind, R.J. Swindle
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories: Earlier this month, I mentioned that the good thing about Juan Rivera is that he hits like Geroge Bell. The bad thing is that he also fields likes George Bell. And now, with the Jays’ decision to move him to DH, I’m almost... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Vernon Wells, Fred Lewis, Bert Blyleven
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories: This quote from Vernon Wells in Richard Griffin’s article in today’s Toronto Star reiterates why I don’t mind V-Dub being paid $126 million: “I think the most important thing about getting contracts like this is you get to go out and do so...

But What Do I Know? … John McDonald, Pat Gillick, Frank Thomas
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories: I’m not writing this to bash Derek Jeter, but those of us who follow the Toronto Blue Jays know that John McDonald is the best fielding shortstop in the American League. If reports that the Padres will listen to offers for first... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Jose Bautista, Matt Stairs, Rich Harden
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories: I’m a big fan of Toronto Star hockey writer Damien Cox. He’s one of the best hockey writers in the business, but for him to speculate in a blog entry that Jose Bautista might be using steroids is irresponsible journalism. It taints Bautista’s...

But What Do I Know? … Scott Downs, David Purcey, Andre Dawson, Jose Bautista
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories: If Scott Downs is dealt as he’s expected to be, that means David Purcey becomes the Jays’ go-to southpaw out of the pen. If this is the case, Cito Gaston will have to take the kid gloves off the former first rounder. Sure,... Continue Reading →
