Still in Toronto.....

By jamesblake | 20 points

Well, I'm still up here in Toronto. I was almost on my way to Cincinnati, but managed to pull off a win today against Dmitry Tursunov. I lost to him last week in the semis of Indianapolis, so it was nice to get some revenge. He had chances to break me at 4-4 in the third set, but i fought them...

All you people out there telling me that the Phillies have one of the best offenses in the league and have no need for Matt Holliday (.343 AVG, 17 HR, 60 RBI, 60 R, 13 SB), I want you to look me in the eye (figuratively of course) and tell me you still think that.

Apparently some teams in Russia are willing to give him 10 million a year which is more than the Dubs are offering. I'm guessing his agent is just using this as leverage to get more money. My prediction is to the warriors for 60 million over 6 years. They will pay up since they can't afford to...
