Canada announces Olympic roster

by 1 Comment

This one’s for all you hosers out there: the 2008 Canadian Olympic Team has been announced (page 7 of the pdf). Highlighted by two very good prospects in Nick Weglarz (Indians) and Mike Saunders (Mariners), the Canadians boasts a respectable lineup but iffy pitching. Brett Lawrie, the Brewers first round pick (16th overall), is on the squad despite turning 18 just this year. Crazy.

The US Team was selected last night, but has not been made public. Remember, the US squad in yesterday’s Futures Game was a trial a team, a group of players in the running for the Olympic team.

Just wanted to mention that I was on Drunk Jays Fans’ most recent podast, filling in the “Blogger’s Spotlight” segment. The segment starts at about the 30 minute mark, so listen in as I try to get a work in edgewise with those three drunken hosers, covering topics such as: how we came up with name River Ave. Blues, whether or not the Yanks have another comeback in them, and my general hatred towards fans with a sense of entitlement.
