Every time Chris Bosh answers the question with a shrug a collective skittishness envelopes Raptor fans across the country.  Understand something-it would be foolish for Bosh to make any statement that would illustrate his plans for his impending free agency.  Any good businessman would want to keep his options open, and that is precisely what […]

 It’s almost as if the economic downturn has affected the Raptors pursuit of young talent.  Whether they believe only a few players likely to be available at number nine, or it’s simply the cost of flying draft eligible players into town but the Raps have brought in a small handful for workouts.  But then when […]

 I know that you can’t tell when I’m writing but I still have that Mississippi drawl-and the reason I mention it is so you know that I’m not one of those high-falutin’ writers with blog space and a headshot!  Those guys just drive me right round the block.

It is surprising to me that Jim Balsillie is attempting to buy the Phoenix Coyotes in much the same fashion as he did when he tried to buy both Pittsburgh and Nashville.  Balsillie is making a more than substantial offer for a team in peril and also making very public overtures about moving the team […]

   Get HALLADAY some help.  It can’t be “DOC AND THE FOUR BABIES” all season long.  It’s like a television sitcom with a kind and sage dad having to learn how to deal with his four adolescent children.  By the all-star break Doc might be so tired of talking to these kids that he might […]

I think it’s only fair.  Since the Yankees and the Red Sox are always going to be among the game’s biggest spenders I think it would be fair if the other teams in the AL (except the west coasters) are forced to spend a few years competing in the AL East.  Why should the Rays, […]

This season has been a complete and utter disaster—and I don’t think I am stepping very far over the line in making such a bold statement. This season began with the Raptors aiming to not only make the playoffs but win at least one round and establish themselves, going forward, as an elite team ready […]
