We may not be able to gather at the Skydome but Baseball Season is nevertheless well underway so we decided to reinstate our tradition of hosting an annual Blue Jays Roundtable Podcast to talk through all the hopes and fears and complaints and little joys of being a Toronto Blue Jays fan. This year we […]
Baseball season is finally upon us! The Toronto Blue Jays officially kick off their season at the Rogers Centre Skydome on Thursday, March 28th with game one of a seven-game homestand. To get ready for the season (and maybe learn a few important names for those of us who haven’t been paying a ton of […]
The boys talk about muscle memory, team chemistry, and how we should all be patient with the process and reasonable with our expectations. We also wonder who Anakin Skywalker’s biological father is. L F Army hopes to give a voice to the legion of Leafs fans that bleed blue through the highs and lows of […]
William Nylander is back, and we couldn’t be happier. Commissioner Laura Darby joins AMarkzzz and The Frase to talk the new contract, personal hygiene, and Ernest Goes to Jail. L F Army hopes to give a voice to the legion of Leafs fans that bleed blue through the highs and lows of a team that’s […]
A few weeks ago, Andrew Markowiak and I started a podcast called LFArmy. Right now the plan is to do it bi-weekly but we may start doing more. It’s been lots of fun. Please give it a listen. In my last article I wrote about Goals For Per Game (GFPG) and Goals Against (GFPG) as […]
After a Cali sweep of titanic proportions, A-Markzzz and the Frase talk hair care, Fortnite, and a smattering of hockey. Will Nylander sign before December 1 st ? Who cares when the fourth line is starting to make us beLeiv(o). Also, the Leafs are first in the league. L F Army hopes to give a […]
L F Army hopes to give a voice to the legion of Leafs fans that bleed blue through the highs and lows of a team that’s shifted from Ballard to Babcock on their quest to (hopefully) being reunited with Lord Stanley’s mug. Welcome to *H-E-double hockey sticks.* At least, that’s how Leaf’s Nation seems to […]
1. We’re currently 6 and 2, I’ve got Marner and Reilly in my pool and if Andrew Markowiak had set up the fantasy league properly I’d be DESTROYING the field. As it stands, the league only started keeping track on Monday. I’m still winning, but not by as much as I should be and this […]
1. I woke up from a nightmare yesterday morning and was convinced that Willy was going to sign in the KHL at 15mil for 1 year. I haven’t been able to shake my anxiety and it’s starting to affect other aspects of my life. His camp wants 8mil per season on a long-term (7-8 years?) […]
1-2 vs. Boston 1-2 vs. Texas (yes, Texas!!) If you had been living in a yurt for the last month and just emerged, cold and stinky, coming over to my place to shower and watch tv, you might have eventually asked me “oh, yeah – how have the Blue Jays been doing so far?” I’d […]
2-1 vs. Baltimore 1-0 vs. Cleveland 2-1 vs. Texas 3-0 vs. Kansas City 1-3 vs. NYY SEASON RECORD : 13-8 Last week it felt like every game the Jays were supposed to play was snowed out or rained out, so there wasn’t much to see or write about. So you get a double dose of […]
4 wins, 2 losses vs. CWS and TEX Season Record: 6-4 Overall, a week…
WEEK ONE (record 2-2 vs. New York Yankees) There is no such thing as a must-win game in the opening series of a 162-game season, but after being utterly dominated by Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka in the first two games of the 2018 season, the Blue Jays’ late inning win in Game Three felt […]
Since we won’t have Jerry Howarth around to say it anymore, allow me: Greetings, baseball fans and welcome to another season of Blue Jays baseball. Even though Toronto’s home nine will undoubtedly be relegated to the back pages of Toronto’s sports section for the first few months this season as the Maple Leafs (one round, […]
Read my Spring Training Diaries Prologue and Day 1. Wednesday, February 28, 2018 The whole baseball season is still ahead of me but today feels like an ending. I fell hard for the Spring Training experience and I’m sad to leave it behind. I have four weeks of baseball-less winter life ahead of me before […]
Read my Spring Training Diaries Prologue HERE Tuesday, February 27, 2018 I know you’ve all be on the edge of your seats to find out what happened with my Bed & Breakfast situation. Never fear. After spending a sleepless evening in a terrible place with a list of terrifying “safety tips” taped to the door […]
Monday, February 26, 2018 This year I decided to do something I’ve always wanted to do- I’m at Blue Jays Spring Training in Dunedin, Florida. Right now, I’m here at this very minute. I’m here on my own and things have already gone very wrong, but I’m here, I actually did it, and tomorrow I’ll […]
Hear me out. If you follow hockey twitter, or hockey facebook, or any hockey forums or chat rooms (are chat rooms still a thing?) with any smattering of Leafs fans, you’ve likely heard the phrase “The Leafs are actually good.” Hockey blogger Jeff Veillette coined the term shortly after the team drafted highly touted prospect […]
It’s been a while. More than a month, actually. I haven’t been in hiding. I haven’t been cut off from the world at large. I’ve just been busy. So, too, have the Leafs. At the time of my last article, the team held a 6-1-0 record. Since that time it’s been something of a roller […]
Two weeks into the season, and the Toronto Maple Leafs are off to a start…
The NHL season is finally upon us with pre-season play wrapping up this Sunday. For fans, the wait has been much anticipated and this lead up carries a wealth of excitement and expectation (unless you’re a Habs fan, or Robby Fabbri). For the group of players league-wide sitting somewhere on the bubble, though, there will […]
American Football season kicks off tonight with the Chiefs vs. the Patriots. To get you ready for the season, we’ve assembled a great panel of sports enthusiasts; not statisticians and historians but rather just good old fashioned football fans- all of them artists because that’s who we know- to talk about everything from why the […]
When Kelly first asked me if I wanted to write for My Entertainment World, my first response was, “You know I have no qualifications or experience whatsoever, right?” but then I thought about all the passionate rants and gut-wrenching, trying-not-to-cry-and-then-crying, brooding-in-the-dark moments I’ve had as a life long Leafs’ fan. I spend most of my […]
Lou Lamoriello and the Toronto Maple Leafs have made it very clear that they’re ready to compete. While the word out of MLSE is that the Shanaplan is still in full swing, it’s become apparent that the development of this roster has thundered past expectations and the team is looking to enter an era of […]
GAME 81 15-1 Loss vs. Boston Season Record 37-44 Well, I believe we’ve reached the end of the Joe Biagini era as far as his being a member of the Blue Jays’ starting rotation goes. Aaron Sanchez will rejoin the team next week, provided that he doesn’t prefer playing for Buffalo (who could blame him?) […]
GAME 80 7-1 Loss vs. Boston Season Record: 37-43 I was going to begin my list of the 10 worst draft picks in Blue Jays history today, but I think that combining that depressing list of terrible decisions with yet another depressing chronicle of a game in which Toronto never even truthfully competed in would […]
