Somebody wire us lots of Canadian currency

REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN -- Regina rhymes with Vagina (sorta). Ha, ha. We're totally burned out from the road, U.S. Dollars are no longer worth shit up here, and we never figured out the metric system. But during our glimpses at the Internet, we saw that the Royals won today (and yesterday). Is Teahen batting leadoff? Is Butler hitting well? Meche must have pitched great yesterday? Bannister, not so much today? Oh well, tomorrow it's Moose Jaw and Medicine Hat. The next day we finally make it to Calgary!

BTW, if we lived in North Dakota we'd be forced to stay drunk at all times.

P.S. We stayed at the worst motel in North America last week in Sioux Falls, S.D. It was so bad that even the hookers wouldn't go there. Tonight, we somehow scored a nice suite. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

P.P.S. It's Canadian Football League season up here, and some folks in Winnipeg and Regina are into that.

P.P.P.S. Now, in addition to Loonies, the Canadians have invented a two-dollar coin. The lowest denomination of print money is a $5 dollar bill. You have to have a TEN just to get a beer at some of the finer establishments. What a bunch of hosers.

P.P.P.P.S. Do you think people throw those $1 and $2 COINS at the strippers instead of slipping them bills? These are the things that enquiring American minds want to know.

OK. Carry on with your baseball season and your war on Islam, you foolish Americans.

Bid Donkey went yard twice this weekend, maybe you should stay in ND. For the blog's namesake.

Bonus: You would get to stay drunk at all times.

Oh yeah....can we change the name from "Big Donkey" to "Bid Donkey". I think it works.

No shit, he was throwing up to 91 MPH fastball's with a 75-76 MPH curve, and apparently he threw in a slider as well.

I saw none of this with my own eyes, except for the curve caught-looking to Pudge on BBTN.

The word on the street (pretty much Poz) is that he was doing this all from a funny side angle, he had life and sink on the fastball, a pretty good curve, and all this without really warming up. Just a few warmups to begin the inning.

And I read somewhere else that he didn't really have a good windup either, he was pretty much flat-footed.

I don't want to get to much into this hype, but flat-footed sidearming 91 MPH fastballs!!!
