Shaker's Rap - It's Lloyd Moseby Time
Things are downright depressing in Jays town. Last in the American League East, we've lost 6 in a row and only 2 of our past 10 games. It's officially code blue, and you know what that means...
It's time for the Shaker Mo. Shaker's Rap, a 12' single from 1986 that Joel graciously ripped for me, will make everything better for us Jays fans. It opens with a great Tom Cheek home run call and stars centre fielder extraordinaire, Lloyd Moseby. This should guarantee the streak stops at 6.
When life gives you lemons, break out some Shaker's Rap.

2008 Playoff Pool: Day Eighteen
Now that I've adopted the Pens as my rooting interest for the remainder of the playoffs, I'm having trouble getting into the other three series. With my basketball team down 3-1 and heading to Orlando and my baseball team in a serious funk, I might have to check into this Toronto FC thing I keep hearing about.
In the pool, Drew's back in the lead. I'm rooting for Ryan or Steve, because one owes me $50 and the other owes me $80 and extracting their debts from their winnings might be my best shot at getting paid.

Global TV Sign-Off From 1984
YouTube user Retrontario, formerly known as WNED17, frequently uploads fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems. These clips never fail to bring back a ton of memories for me, so I feature them from time to time.
In this age of 24 hour broadcasting stations, the television station sign-off has gone the way of the do-do bird. When I was growing up, most stations signed off for the night with contact and technical information about the station, followed by the national anthem and then either static or a test pattern.
I love this Global Television Network sign-off from 1984. It's chock full of detail about their C-III-TV transmitters and it opens with a nice SkyDome-less shot of the CN Tower.
