| on Frank Thomas... |
[Nov. 16th, 2006|05:52 pm] |
When word leaked that my beloved Blue Jays signed aging slugger Frank Thomas last night, I paced.
And paced.
And paced.
I paced more than the signings of AJ Burnett and BJ Ryan. I paced more than the trade that brought Andrew Raycroft to the Maple Leafs.
Here's a guy who's had surgery on both his ankles in the past couple of years. A guy who's 38 years old and weighs 270 lbs. Bodies don't allow for that kind of size during the twilight of a career. Especially when the re-occuring injuries are the base on which all the weight stands.
It's risky. Extremely risky.
So I paced.
By the end of the night, over another vampire slaying by dear Buffy, I realized that this shows different paths the organization can take within the next couple of years. All three are optimistic if The Big Hurt can stay healthy and produce the numbers he gave Oakland last year (39 hrs, 114 rbis).
Again. if
So, here are three possible scenarios the Blue Jays will take heading into the 2007 baseball season. Of course, these are well wishes as much as reality.
SCENARIO #1: KEEP VERNON WELLS FOR NEXT YEAR
Under this scenario the Blue Jays will unveil an offensive lineup that second to none in baseball. It's a lineup that has more pop than the Sheffield-less Yankees. It has more run production than the "just-being-Manny" Red Sox. This line up has no less than 4 players who, based on last year's statistics, would drive in 100 runs and hit 30 hrs.
Johnston
Rios
Wells
Glaus
Overbay
Thomas
(gregg zaun type)
Hill
(maybe an alex gonzalez type)
Rios was projected to hit between 35 and 40 hrs last year, before he missed a month with a staph infection. Wells had over 30. Glaus had over 30. Thomas had over 30. You could add a 5th, as Overbay's power production has steadily increased over the past 3 years. Last year he hit 20+ hrs with 90+ rbis.
That lineup will beat up any team in baseball and, if healthy, that lineup completely dominates any pitcher in baseball. Even Johan Santana (remember..Frank Thomas blasted two home runs off Santana in Game 1 of the playoffs last year).
It would mean that 2007 is our BEST OPPERTUNITY to make the playoffs.
SCENARIO #2: TRADE VERNON WELLS BEFORE NEXT YEAR
If you end up trading Vernon Wells this off-season, odds are JP's going to fill a couple of holes. For one, he's going to get a pitcher. A pretty good pitcher. Ervin Santana's name keeps getting floated around from the Angels. As a #3 pitcher (behind Burnett and Halladay) this kid is a tough cookie.
He'll also bring in a top-flight prospect, hopefully to fill the void at shortstop. Not necessarily, but i'm sure that's what he's gunning for.
Your lineup would then look like this:
Johnston (taking over centre field)
Rios
Overbay
Glaus
Thomas
Lind (taking over left field)
Hill
With Adam Lind's emergence, forcing the hand of JP to keep him in the big leagues next season, the jays can very well afford to lose Vernon's offense. Thomas's slugging percentage, HRs, RBIs are all higher than Wells. His batting average is lower (.270 to Wells's .300 +), but his OBS (on base plus slugging) is over .400. <-- that means Frank Thomas likes to take walks. That's a good thing.
SCENARIO #3: UNCLE TED OPENED UP HIS POCKETS
We know that Ted Rogers will up the payroll for the 2007 season. What we don't know is how much he's willing to go. Before the pay raise, JP had $12 mil to spend on free agents. Giving Frank Thomas $9 mil means he's only got $3 mil left to spend. Not very smart.
Unless he knows something we don't.
How much extra money will Rogers give JP? We'll have to know eventually - most wheeling and dealing with free agents and trades occurs before Christmas because of the Winter Meetings and whatnot - but this could be the start of seeing a payroll reach the $95 mil - $100 mil range.
That's big money.
But in a world where it costs $51 mil just to have the oppertunity to speak to a player, it's not out of this world.
------------
Of course, all this is based on an if
If Frank Thomas can stay healthy, and Halladay/Burnett have the year we all expect they'll have, this could be a really exciting season to be a fan of baseball, and a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Just a quick thank you to both Toronto dailies The Metro and 24 for putting Alicia Keys on their front cover.

Last Friday I went to Republic - a night club near the Paramount Theatre on John and Richmond (in and around, anyways).
It was my buddy's birthday and, after a night of baseball drinking, hotel drinking, toilet-flooding serenity, we entered the club a little buzzed at around 12:00.
After two Red Bull and vodkas, i was pretty sauced and pretty awake. In hindsight, the concept of mixing Red Bull with alcohol probably isn't a good thing. We depend on alcohol to tire us out so we don't over do it - it seems rather hipocratic to mix the two drinks.
But i digress.
We were a group of 8 or 10, all a little or a lot intoxicated. One friend of ours got a little rowdy after hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit and, in the spirit of Mr Cobain, decided to start moshing on the dance floor. Some people got into it, others moved away. But, as my friend knows (we've been through this scenario before), you can't mosh in a club. You shouldn't mosh anywhere, actually...but again, i digress.
So the security guards came bounding in to break up the mosh pit and, more than likely, kick people out. Well, my buddy 'moshed' into one of the guards, causing a huge commotion that lead to 3 guards 'escorting' him out of the building. By the neck.
Another buddy of ours was down on the ground, being choked by a guard. We were able to get the guard off of him, but our other friend was no where to be seen. A couple of us rushed to the front doors to find out where he'd been taken, and they told us to go to the back of the building.
He wasn't there.
After waiting around for 3 or 4 minutes, he came bounding out the back door, keeled over, and started coughing and heaving in the parking lot. He had gotten the shit kicked out of him. Because it was in the back of the building, out of view from the patrons, no one saw it.
The police got involved, taking down names, events, etc. But we know they won't do anything. EMS showed up and checked over our buddy, with his ripped shirt and bleeding chin. Later we found out he had bruises all along the sides of his torso.
The worst part of all of this? I knew the guy who had him by the neck. I'd worked with him for over 4 years with Northwest and, though this had nothing to do with that company, I knew his history.
I approached him at the front of the club, furious. I yelled, screamed and tried to voice my concern. He responded with "you're drunk, Rob. You don't know what you're talking about."
What could I do? With his 5 guards standing around, patrons hanging out on the streets, there was nothing that could have been done. I'm not the kind of guy to go looking for a fight, and i definitely wasn't at this time. But i was looking to release my aggression - something that I don't get very often.
The only damage done was to a street sign on the way back to my friends.
But, time and time again, I stress the importance of properly trained security guards. Situations like this don't need to happen -my friend was being dragged out (rightfully so, though it was a bit excessive), and was beaten to a pulp in the bowels of Republic. For what? Was he resisting the chokehold? God forbid someone tries to grasp for air.
Five or six large men don't need to force someone out of a building. My friend is NOT a large man. He may be aggressive, but it doesn't take much to subdue a person and escort them out of the building.
If the guards had any sense of training - any sense of PATIENCE, for fucks sake - my friend wouldn't have been hurt they way he had. Once you take someone out of a building, they stop being aggressive. They realize there's no way back in, and that's that. This city is full of people like this - every day in every club there are people who get kicked out. How many have been beaten up? In four years of working in this industry I've gotten into ONE fight. One fight. And for those that know me, they know the story around it. I've stopped countless fights. I've been threatened countless times.
I've been attacked more than a few times.
But i've never had to resort to physical violence - brutal, barbaric violence - to remove someone from a building.
Oftentimes the mandate for security guards is muted through layers of testosterone and muscle. They're job, in any private establishment, is to protect and promote the safety of the establishment and the people within it. That's it. It's not to pick a fight. It's not to knock someone's teeth out because they're talking shit to them.
The Ontario government needs to start working on a program that universalizes the hiring of security guards. Will it cost a lot of money? For sure. Will people want to support a government that spends their tax money on this? Definitely not.
Not until their son or daughter comes home with bruises on their torso, a cut on the chin, and the fear that they could have had a lot worse happen to them because a few guards felt the need to "teach us a lesson". |

Harry Potter to Wyrd Sisters: Fuck You, Pay Me
You don't sue Radiohead. Even if we're only talking Phil Selway and Jonny Greenwood, you do not sue Radiohead! And you sure as hell don't sue Harry Potter. Such was the lesson learned by a few unfortunate folks in Canada recently.
In the fourth Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry, Ron, and Hermione attend a school dance where the tunes are supplied by a band called the Weird Sisters. As Goblet of Fire made its way closer and closer to the big screen, the film's creators hired some big-time rockers to play the band in the movie. Their picks? Selway, Greenwood, and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker.
However, there is a real-life Winnipeg band called the Wyrd Sisters. They were even nominated for a Juno, and they exploded over the incident, suing pretty much everyone involved-- even the seemingly innocent Selway, Greenwood, and Crocker. Warner Brothers offered Wyrd Sisters co-founder Kim Baryluk $5,000, and later $50,000, to share the band's name in the film, but she declined, telling ChartAttack.com, "Do you know what I've spent on the band in the past 10 years? In the last 10 years I've spent more than a million dollars. Offering me $50,000 is more than an insult."
The band name wasn't even mentioned in the film, never mind the "ei" spelling. But, as reported in Pitchfork's previous story on the incident, the Sisters reported via their website, "If we went somewhere new to play, after this movie is released, how many people would show up expecting the fellows from Radiohead?" and continued to move ahead with the lawsuit due to the association that had been established between film and artist.
But now, according to Canada.com's National Post, the Wyrd Sisters not only lost the court battle, but have been ordered to pay $140,000 of Warner Brothers' legal fees due to the "highly intrusive" lawsuit and criticism of the judiciary involved in the legal battle.
Now the Sisters are asking their fans for donations. If they have any fans left. |

| Is Billy in it for the money? |
[Jul. 12th, 2006|03:52 pm] |
No.
I've had people attack me on this Pumpkins reunion thing for the past little while, including 'unanymous' here on my live journal.
heh.
Anyways, lets get one thing straight. Billy Corgan is not reuniting the Smashing Pumpkins for the money, so lets put these allegations to rest.
Billy Corgan, like a lot of musicians not named A.J., are artists. Like putting paint to a canvas, he puts sound to an emotion. In all of us, there's a drive to succeed at something. Whether it be making music, storytelling, having two children, a dog and a picket fence, or finding your own "orlando"... everyone has a drive.
Corgan's is his music.
Zwan was a gaff. Who the hell knows what was going through his head. I think, in his own mind, he was battling the loss of popularity and he wanted to get back out there - to show the world he could write 4 minute pop songs with the best of them. He found out the hard way that he can't (thank god) and, with internal fighting within the band driving him crazy, he gave up on that project.
For his solo album, he wanted to do completely his own thing. It was an homage to his influences. It was, to me, completely hit or miss. He has some great stuff on that album (The Future Embrace), but he also has some really really shitty stuff, too. He did his thing, and he's satisfied with it (i think). I didn't really dig it too much, but whatever. It's not the end of the world.
But the Smashing Pumpkins are what Billy Corgan really is. They aren't a wink and a nod to the 80's. They aren't a fight for #1 on the music charts. They are his art. His soul.
And sometimes, as an artist, falling back on your best times brings out the best in you. Going back to the pumpkins is akin to a painter going back to a solitary cottage on a little island - the same little island they painted their first masterpiece. Nothing can duplicate that and, any attempts at doing so, end up in disgust.
Why?
Because there are an infinite amount of intangables within ourselves. Our emotions run the spectrum and, Corgan especially, it comes out in the music. Smashing Pumpkins are Billy's emotion.
The guy has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and this is no different.
If Corgan truly was in it for the money, you'd have heard Today, or Tonight, Tonight on commercials around the world. If Corgan was truly in it for the money he wouldn't have given 100% of the profits from the Adore tour to charities in local cities where they played. If he was truly in it for the money, Siamese Dream would span 6 albums.
It's a formula Nickelback uses to perfection.
There are certain artists, bands who continue to grow. They continue to find new ways of expression. The Pumpkins are one of many. It's unfair to say they're 'in it for the money'. A lot are. But, i don't think many of them exist for very long. Their heart and soul is absent from the music, and eventually the fad dies out. The Smashing Pumpkins released an entire CD on the internet for free. A band of such popularity doing something like that isn't very common. Though they definitely aren't the only one.
Believe me. Billy Corgan is anything but a perfect human being. He's short-tempered, a control freak, etc. etc. All the stuff that is printed in the media is probably more true than fake.
The truth in art is that you'll never be universally loved. If you are, then you're not truly an individual.
The Smashing Pumpkins are not a fad. They are the solitary cottage on an island where dreams are made.
-------
On a side note, i got a chance to hear the new Mars Volta. Oh boy. It's not very good. Not very good at all. But, if there's one thing i love about this band, it's that they'll never duplicate themselves. Who the fuck knows what to expect. I'm already stoked about their NEXT CD, and this one isn't out for another month. It's unfortunate they're touring with the Chili Peppers. *YAWN*.
It's actually been a rough year for me when it comes to music. The radiohead concert i went to - where they played something like 12 new songs - wasn't as good as i was hoping for. Those new songs were really boring. Hopefully they can spruce them up a bit. The volta album pretty much sucks (but i'm not 100% sold on this yet - i'll give it a few more listens), and the pumpkins have been in the studio for half a fucking year without any news.
On the bright side, I LOOOOOOOOOVE the new TOOL album (moreso with each listen), and Thom Yorke's solo album is a tasty little treat. |

| hero |
[Jul. 5th, 2006|02:36 pm] |
which one do you like best?
Hero, by Mariah Carey
There's a hero if you look inside your heart.
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know will melt away.
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.
It's a long road when you face the world alone,
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.
You can find love if you search within yourself
and the emptiness you felt will disappear.
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Hold on, there will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way.
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.
That a hero lies in youuuuuuuuuu.
ohhh that a hero lies in youuu.
Hero, by Enrique Iglesias
Whispered) Let me be your hero
Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?
Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me these
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?
(Chorus)
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight
Chorus
I just want to hold you (2x)
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight
Chorus (2x)
You can take my breath my breath away
I can be your hero
Hero, by Nickelback
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
Oh but heaven, no heaven don’t hear me.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I’m not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
Someone told me love will all save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
that won't never came.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I’m not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
Now that the world isn't ending, its love that I’m sending to you.
It isn’t the love of a hero, and that’s why I fear it won’t do.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I’m not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
and they're watching us
(Watching Us)
as we all fly away.yeahaahh...ooouuhh (#3X)
------------------------
Personally, I think all three songs represent a different kind of hero, so it's hard to decide which one is best but, I hope that by breaking down these songs, we can determine who stands on top.
For example, Nickelback's Hero is mythological - a comic book hero - that flies into the city to save the day. It evokes a sense of americana, where the eagles soar in to save the day, and the only thing us normals have to do is grab onto their wings and hold on. Nickelback's hero saves the day when Heaven "can't hear us", or when our prayers aren't answered. That's when a hero, larger than life, larger than GOD!, swoops down and takes us away to happy-happy land.
But of course Nickelback has to throw a curveball at its audience, dropping this vicious line:
"Now that the world isn't ending, its love that I’m sending to you.
It isn’t the love of a hero, and that’s why I fear it won’t do. "
KAPLOWEE.
deep shit. So us normal peeps can't keep up with the heroes, as they evoke a love, a devotion, from a woman than normal men can't find. My love is no match for a hero's. My love can't save you. I wonder what Mariah Carey thinks about that...
Yes, Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey's hero is more cliched than mythological. It's the hero that's in all of us. When the chips are down, when you can't go on, you'll find the answer to your problems in yourself. It's quite touching to see Mariah guide us through our internal struggles. Knowing that we can all stand up for ourselves and "cast our fears aside" with the help of a little confidence. I wonder what fears she's talking about? Maybe fears like not being able to make it in the entertainment business without very very very large breasts? Who's Mariah's inner-hero? Dr. Titsagrow?
And then, there's our lovely ol' friend Enrique Iglesias. Enrique's hero is a bit of a combination of Nickelback's and Mariah's. He wants to have that primal lust for a hero who saves the day, someone who's willing to "take away the pain". Because you, Anna Kornikova, take his breath away. Enrique believes that he can shoulder your problems, Anna. You know the ones... like how you're playing a professional sport at an amatuer skill level? Enrique will help you out. He becomes that hero that's inside all of us, though he's external. Enrique is a mythology on his own, it seems.
And then there's this candid poem he wrote:
"Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight "
Wow. Enrique wants to be your hero as he asks whether or not he's losing his mind to be with you. Anna... you're in heaven.
But, in the end, I think Enrique's hero wins. As you listen to his song, you can't help but picture a blond russian tennis player.
And that, to me, is a greater feat than any hero can possibly do.

[Jun. 28th, 2006|11:33 pm] |
A familiar song to all the pumpkin fans out there. Though i doubt my 'end' narrates to "sewers belching" me out.
However, a part of the chorus may have slight signifiance:
Is it bright where you are?
Have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you're so safe?
Obviously I can't fully evaluate the impact my tenure at Sportsnet will have on the rest of my life. Hell, who knows what next week will bring me. But it was a good run all the same.
I got to produce a little highlight package for some Nashville Predator prospects, which is cool.
I got to write a script for the 2006 CHL award winners, that was aired throughout the week of the Memorial Cup. Also cool.
But, at the same time, most of my time was spent as it is now: in front of a computer, punching away at the keyboard. Does all that shotlisting truly benefit my career? I don't really think it will - it's neanderthal work. But hey, at least i got my foot in the door and (i hope) made some good impressions.
Now, on to more interesting things:
Why the hell do we need a sequel to the Pirates of the Carribean? I mean, the first one was, shockingly, a good, fun movie. Johnny Depp alone can carry the entertainment flagon and pour us all a refreshing glass but, all the same, it was based on a stupid ride at Disney World.
But a sequel?
They caught lightning in a bottle once, and I can't imagine them doing it again. At the same time, however, I am a bit interested and, the more commercials I see (so typical of a corporate whore), the more i want to see of the movie. I can only hope it can hold a candle to its original.
Didn't this happen for Episode 1 too?
---------
When did the Chili Peppers get so popular? I know they were pretty huge before their latest album (Stadium Arcadium) but how are they the MOST popular band now? That single, Danny California (forgive me if i missed out on a cliched nu-age spelling style, but i haven't actually picked up the album to look at the titles yet) is extremely boring. And i'm willing to bet that the rest of the album doesn't stray too far from the all-too predictable chilly pepper formula.
You know the one. They've ridden it for the last umpteen albums. BRING BACK DAVE NAVARRO!!!! please.
----------
anyways, that's all..i'll try to actually update at semi-frequent intervals in the next little while, now that i'm going to have some spare time on my hands. but bare with me... i do make a lot of promises i can't keep.

Tom Cruise has got to go.
Recently, Isaac Hayes quit South Park because of their mockery on religion and religious beliefs. To paraphrase Hayes, "there's a time and a place for satire and a time when to go over the edge".
As has been documented quite regularly, Matt Stone responded with harsh words for Hayes. Again, to paraphrase, Hayes is a "hipocrite" who "doesn't have a problem when the show pokes fun at muslims, jews, catholics or homosexuals". But once scientology gets attacked (Hayes is a Scientologist) it's over the edge.
Whatever. So be it. For all intensive purposes, the character "Chef" was rarely on screen for the past few seasons anyways. The problem is, the Scientology episode has since been pulled from sindication (is that how you spell it?) because Tom Cruise complained to Paramount Pictures, which owns Comedy Central, and happens to distribute Mission Impossible III.
The episode in question is called "Come out of the closet" and involves Tom Cruise hiding in Stan's closet, with John Travolta, Nicole Kidman and R. Kelly urging him to come out of the closet. Whatever..i'm not going to explain the joke. it's pretty self-explanetory.
But the fact that cruise has single-handedly forced Comedy Central's hand to not show the episode on television again is atrocious. His threat? He won't do the promotional tour for MI:III.
At this point in his career, it's pretty safe to assume people know this film is coming out and will see it regardless of him promoting it or, on the other end of the spectrum, people won't see it anyways because they see Cruise as a slimey weirdo who freaks out on oprah couches and 21 year old girls. Paramount should have told cruise to stick it up his scientological ASS and played the episode every day for the rest of the summer, and 24 hours straight the day MI:3 comes out.
Anyways, i'm rambling about stuff no one really cares about (all 3 of you who read this! lol..one's in japan, one doesn't watch hollywood movies, and the other probably knows all about this and is already highly critical of cruise to begin with).
But i'm not going to see another cruise film. Ever. if he wants to play this game, then i'm going to play it. If he was a man who cared about the insult of other people, about the mockery of other lives than his own, he would have tried to have the entire show pulled. The Paris Hilton episode alone is one that goes FAR ABOVE AND BEYOND anything that's ever happened to cruise (by the end of the episode, paris hilton lost a 'whore off' and was inserted up a gay man's ass..she's yet to return).
At least Sean Penn has the balls to try and get rid of the show, and not just the episode that ridicules him (which is actually Team America: World Police...if my memory serves me).
If you have a problem with on-the-edge comedy, aka satire, then you're not alone. Millions of people feel the same way whenever they watch the show (or Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, where 'this week and God' pokes fun at all the religious news of the week). But don't ignore and turn your back whenever you aren't attacked. Stand up for what you believe in. If you can't stand the attack on Scientology, then why can you stand the attack on Christianity?
It's always different when it attacks the heart.
Just keep in mind, i think there's a place for all forms of humour and satire will stand tall and erect long after the lifeless humour of the Golden Girls and Full House are gone. The ability to show both sides of an argument (or multiple sides, though in the americas it's often layered on political stances, leaving just two forms of thought)is much stronger than standing on one side or the other.
Walking a mile in another man's shoes is done not nearly as often today as it should be. If we are truly progressing as a society, we will always see things from another's eyes. We will always take the higher road on insults.
And we'll never watch tom cruise again. |

[Feb. 3rd, 2006|04:52 pm] |
i'm just eating these lyrics up right now:
(i also hum the catchy bassline whenever there's a break in song)
AIRBAG
In the next world war
in a jack knifed juggernaut,
I am born again.
In the neon sign,
scrolling up and down,
I am born again.
In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.
In a deep deep sleep,
of the innocent,
I am born again.
In a fast German car,
I'm amazed that I survived,
an airbag saved my life.
In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.
In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe.
In an interstellar burst,
I am back to save the universe. |
