We’ll be kind and refrain from any Professor Dickweed references.

Today’s journey takes us up to see the Blue Jays play the Cleveland Indians in the final game of the three game set. Mike Harrington and David Briggs from the Buffnews are up here as well covering the games, and Mike already pointed out one of his famed useless stats when he indicated the the Tribe is playing their 9th game in a row in an indoor venue (three at Minn, three at TB and now here). But for the record, the roof was open here on Friday night. Unfortunately it’s closed today, which is a shame because it is a crisp almost fall like day outside and an outdoor game would have been nice.

The “Bills in Toronto” thingy is fast coming upon us, and a large banner draped across an overpass when heading into the city just portends the excitement that is to come. Not for this week’s preseason game, which has all the makings of a flop at the turnstiles, but the December conntest, the first regular season NFL game on Canadian soil, promises to be a big deal.

Cliff Lee is on the mound for Cleveland today, and with a 15-2 record is the big spark plug on the team in what has otherwise been a disappointing season. Earlier this week we were checking out the rotation and was hoping Toronto would have Roy Halladay pitching for the Jays, but that alignment of the planets did not happen.

Uh oh… we had a big credentials snafu on the way in today. Our editor Geoff Kelly never faxed in our attendance, and to make a long story short, Pete’s credential was nowhere to be found. Jay Stenhouse, the head PR honcho here came down and was very nice and wrote Pete up, but had no clue who were were, even though we’ve covered a Jays game or two for each of the past five seasons. As for the “uh-oh” we’ve got a big thick black line on the cred covering the word “clubhouse”… looks like our postgame will be yet another media adventure. *Sigh* We weeklies get NO respect!
