| Home Runs Power Red Sox Victory...Boston Red Sox 6 Toronto Blue Jays 5 | | 2008-08-25 04:12:00 | | This was an exciting game! Sunday afternoon in Toronto, the Red Sox and the Blue Jays played the final game of their three game set, and Boston emerged victorious by a score of 6-5. Five of their runs came from the long ball, with Pedy Pedroia hitting a crucial three run bomb to left in the third inning off a neck high pitch from starter AJ Burnett. They scored four runs that inning, but the Blue Jays went ahead 5-4 after six. It was time for some heroics, as this game was viewed as a big one by every Sox player. And Coco Crisp delivered in the seventh with a solo home run to tie that all important score. It stayed tied as the beleagered Boston bullpen came through with five scoreless innings. Now that's priceless! And then came the eleventh, and Jed Lowrie promptly hit the game winning home run to right center. Little Manny Delcarmen relieved Jonathon Papelbon, who had breezed through the ninth and tenth innings, needing only 16 pitches. And Manny came through and the Red Sox, battere | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | A First Class Stinkaroo...BECKETT OUT, For Now...Toronto 11 Boston 0 | | 2008-08-24 03:46:00 | | Saturday afternoon in Toronto, Canada started out on a hopeful note but quickly descended into the depths of baseball despair. Jon Lester was downright awful...he allowed 7 runs in only 2 1/3 innings while walking 2 and striking out two. It was the shortest start of his young career. He just didn't have it. I hope he was able to "turn the page" and start getting ready for his next start. It's best if he can forget all about this weekend debacle. I'll sure try. Daisuke Matsuzaka will try to right the ship this afternoon when he faces the tough AJ Burnett in the rubber match of the series. These games are vitally important, but the Sox were never in it yesterday. Here's what Jon and his manager had to say after the whitewashing...“Nothing was really working,” Lester said. “I was rushing through my delivery, not a good tempo. When I did get the groundballs that I needed, they weren’t at people. It just wasn’t my day. Basically, everything you don’t want to do, I did today.” | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | Jason Varitek Heating Up At The Plate...Boston 8 Toronto 4 | | 2008-08-23 04:17:00 | | Could it be? Is Jason Varitek FINALLY getting hot at the plate? His teammates say he has been hitting the ball hard and on the nose for more than a week, and last night's home run was his third in as many games. Boston defeated the Blue Jays by a score of 8-4. Paul Byrd was the starting Red Sox pitcher and clearly did not have his best stuff, but he battled through six innings, giving up four earned runs on six hits while walking two and striking out four. If that's Paul Byrd when he's pitching so-so, we'll take it. Masterson, the resurgent Hideki Okajima and Jonathon Papelbon, in a non-save situation, provided three innings of scoreless relief as the Red Sox won round one of this three game set. Paul Byrd had a few words to say about his new catcher and Jason Varitek reciprocated in assessing the new Sox guy in the rotation..."I knew he was a good catcher, but he's a great receiver," Byrd said. "He's really good. He blocks the ball better than I thought he did. What he brings behind t | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

Josh Beckett started for the Boston Red Sox on a seemingly beautiful Sunday afternoon, and things turned ugly too quickly. He plain old didn't have it. He was only able to go 2 1/3 innings, giving up 8 runs on 8 hits. He walked 1 and struck out 3 and turned the game over to the porous bullpen, who had yet another implosion. Aardsma, Timlin, Buchholz, Masterson, Okijima and Jonathon Papelbon were no match for the on fire Blue Jay offense. And this one was over early, with Toronto holding a 6-0 lead after one inning. What happened to Josh Beckett? Here are some thoughts from his catcher and team captain Jason Varitek..."Especially after his last outing, very surprising," Varitek said. "He was really good his last outing. Just one of those days. Those guys sometimes looked in the right spot, sometimes looked at the right pitch, and got just the good enough one to hit at the | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Doc Duels, And Wins...Toronto 4 Boston 0 | | 2008-08-17 05:04:00 | | The Boston Red Sox offensive show, clearly on display in three games with the pitching poor Texas Rangers, came to an abrupt halt courtesy of Toronto's Roy "Doc" Halladay, who pitched yet another complete game while shutting out Boston by a score of 4-0. It was no contest, although Paul Byrd showed us all that his acquisition was a great accomplishment by the Red Sox front office. He pitched into the 8th inning but was hurt by two Jays' home runs. Byrd will work out just fine for the balance of the season, and maybe more (?). Here's what Tito Francona and Dustin Pedroia had to say about one of the best pitchers in all of baseball...**********"I wish we were on the other end of this, but the pitchers got it, they threw it, they threw it over the plate," Sox manager Terry Francona said. "It's a fun game to play defense in. I guarantee if you ask our guys, they'll say that, and I know their guys feel that way. They love playing behind Halladay; there's a reason.""Man, he should make a pit | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

The Buffalo Bills' offense entered their second pre-season game with a chip on their collective shoulder. Less than a week after an inauspicious start in Washington, Buffalo's offense did a complete 180 in a 24-21 pre-season victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Toronto.
NFL.com video highlights
Trent Edwards - last week just 1 of 5 passing - was two for two this week. Two for two on scoring drives, that is; Buffalo's starting offense was on the field for two possessions, and ended both with Robert Royal touchdown receptions. Edwards finished the evening 9 of 11 passing for 104 yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. He even had a 22-yard scramble for a first down on third and 12 on the team's second possession.
Wide receiver Lee Evans got into the act as well; after getting blanked in Washington, Evans caught three passes for 55 yards on two possessions this week. Royal - heavily involved offensivel | | By: Buffalo Rumblings | | |

| | Q1 2008 Toronto Real Estate Sales Drop 21% Over Last Year | | 2008-08-03 09:07:00 | | Last week we released our Q1 2008 Move Smartly Housing Report which offers a detailed summary of real estate sales by neighbourhood. Readers can subscribe to the report at www.realosophy.comThe average sale price for a home in Toronto for the first quarter of 2008 was $410,862, a 3.3% increase over the same period last year. The median price increased by 6.1% to $330,000. The big news in 2008 has been the significant drop in the number of homes sold. Sales have declined by 20.9% over the same period last year. Sales volumes showed very little growth between 2004-2006. Sales increased suddenly by 13.5% in 2007 with much of the increase being attributed to the 40 year mortgage.

Bills in Toronto series stealing headlines from CFL openers (Photo Source)
The start of the 2008 professional football season is nine days away!
In Canada, at least.
Next Thursday, June 26, marks the first week of regular season action in the Canadian Football League. In their final pre-season tune-up, our across-the-border neighbors - the Toronto Argonauts - will face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats before beginning their regular season on the road in Winnipeg. Argos fans everywhere are feeling now exactly what we feel in early September - the dawning of a fresh football season.
Why, then, can't the writers covering the team write about... well, the team?
There's actual news to report in the CFL at this point - such as the Calgary Stampeders' re-signing of former NFL wide receiver Ken-Yon Rambo, or the Montreal Alouettes naming Marcus Brady as their starting (but not exclusive) quarterback.

| | The Bats Are Back In Town! YES!! Boston Red Sox 12 Toronto Blue Jays 4 | | 2008-05-04 04:26:00 | | Peter here on a quiet Sunday morning, early style. Last night at Fenway Park, the Boston lumber again made its presence known in a big way as the home club banged out fifteen (!!) hits and scored twelve runs in a 12-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Josh Beckett was the recipient of the offensive output and was able to easily win the game. He went eight strong innings, allowing eight hits and four earned runs while striking out five. And so the Red Sox strong starting pitching continues to shine brightly and unrelentlessly, and as I said earlier in the week, when the bats stir to life, this club will win many games. They are in first place in the American League East right now, with Jon Lester, coming off the best start of his young career, ready to face Scott Kazmir in HIS "opening day" appearance.

And it's about time! For those of you who don't know what a "crooked number" is, and I'm sure most of you do, it's any number but a zero or a one on that all important scoreboard. Hence crooked! An example? OK - the Sox scored five (crooked!) runs in their half of the fourth inning, and cruised from there. Clay Buchholz pitched well, but he was only able to go five and one third innings before being lifted and the bullpen took over. He walked four, but only gave up one run on five hits. He was effective in an erratic way, but deserved the victory. Javy Lopez finished the sixth inning but could not end the seventh.

| | Forecasting Toronto’s Real Estate Market | | 2008-05-03 01:52:00 | | When looking at forecasts for Toronto’s real estate market, or any market for that matter, it’s important to understand that these predictions are only as good as the information that experts have at the time. Unexpected shocks or changes to the market can impact the accuracy of a forecast. For example, the introduction of 40-year mortgages had a significant impact on Toronto’s real estate market in 2007 (see my previous post, Extended Amortizations and Toronto's Real Estate Market: Real Opportunity or Bubble Booster?). Roughly 10,000 more people bought homes in 2007 than in either 2004,2005 or 2006. Much of this increase had to do with the fact that housing suddenly became more affordable, driving up demand in that year.So why didn't experts anticipate this surge in demand in 2007? One possibility is that forecasts for a slowdown were announced before CMHC introduced the 40-year mortgage. Another possibility is that forecasters who did take the 40-year mortgage into account, u | | By: Canada Real Estate News | | |

"I think that the toronto real estate market will be more boring for the next couple of years — which may be a good thing."Mr. Tal says one key measure — unit sales as a share of new listings — is sitting at about 55 per cent right now. Last year, it was about 65 per cent.A range of 40 to 60 per cent is considered a balanced market, and Mr. Tal expects to see Toronto sales remain in that range. In fact, the percentage will likely to fall to 50 per cent or so, he predicts.

Pseudo is the studio behind the Full Auto games. They have been around since 1995 and employed about 50 people.

| | Toronto's condo market booms | | 2008-04-08 18:52:00 | | Toronto - The housing market in much of the United States may be moribund, but in Toronto, something of a boom mentality still exists.In March, several hundred Toronto residents braved the cold to line up before the opening of the sales office of a new condo project. Certified checks in hand, they wanted to make sure they got their choice within Aura, a proposed 75-story residential tower scheduled to go up downtown.This isn't the first time condo sales debuts have drawn large crowds. In November 2007, speculative buyers waited patiently beside heat lamps to place deposits on another 80-story slab. Despite a last-minute price hike – apartments advertised for $2 million catapulted to $8 million – sales remained heavy.

| | 'Penless In Toronto | | 2008-04-06 04:17:00 | | All of a sudden, the Boston Red Sox bullpen looks as porous as a piece of paper towel, the less expensive one-ply kind. Saturday, Toronto continued their winning ways with a convincing 10-2 victory over visiting Boston. Clay Buchholz, making his first 2008 start, gave up four runs in five innings, and then the dam let loose, deadly water engulfing everyone and everything. First Kyle Snyder, who was woeful with his control and who might be on his way to Pawtucket, and then Corey, who was even worse, and finally Tavarez, who was OK but by then the game was out of reach. The Sox were being drubbed, and except for Papelbon and Okajima, the relievers haven't done a damn thing this season. Tito Francona had this to say after his team's defeat... "We don't point fingers at anybody," manager Terry Francona said when asked about the troubles with the bullpen. "We win as a team, we lose as a team. When we lose, we all feel like we didn't do the job. They got into our bullpen and did what good of | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| | | | CN Tower Toronto | | 2008-03-28 10:25:49 | | In my recent visit to Canada I went to Toronto. It was another business trip to Canada but my first time visit to Toronto. Toronto is a beautiful place its surrounded by lakes, rivers and beautiful harbours. Several Cruise boats and ships could be seen at these harbours. You could even book a cruise if you have a day off, its a wonderful experience of its own kind and you get a very relaxing and soothing ride on the sea with cool winds getting you into a relax mood and fills you with life.The most attractive thing i liked in Toronto, Canada was the CN Tower, it is a marvel of architectural engineering and is even the tallest building in Canada. Take an elevator ride to the top floor of the CN towers. The floor is made up of strong glass and gives you a trill of heights, as you can see the roads from the top floor. It also gives you a very beautiful view of the whole Toronto city. Not only this the CN Tower Toronto has a 360 Dining restaurant where you could have a pleasure of having | | By: IBIBO | | |

| | Toronto is set for its own housing collapse? | | 2008-03-20 17:23:00 | | Not likely. The record sales reached in 2007 were largely due to the shock caused by the introduction of 40-year mortgages in Canada. Now that most of the home buyers who were sitting on the sidelines bought houses, sales volumes are expected to return to more sustainable levels. Another big issue is the slowing down of the Canadian economy, with experts now predicting that Canada will follow the US into a marked contraction. Ironically, one of the biggest dampeners on the Canadian housing market may not be the troubled US housing market per se, but related woes in the financial markets. The ensuing "credit crunch" has restricted credit globally, led to higher fixed interest rates and decreased affordability for all consumers.
