That's it, baseball is being dropped from the Olympics.
I think this tourney has potential in the future if it is handled better. Maybe have it in November after the World Series when guys are actually in shape. Play the games in primetime. And hope for better participation from players and management.
The US could field 2 or 3 teams easily. The current team is good, but is certainly not as good as it could be.
Even Canada has some no-shows, like Gagne and Dempster.
It would be truly exciting if it really was "best on best".

Yeah I was talking about "Team Canada", the national program.
And believe me, Canada knows how it feels to be beaten at your "national passtime". The recent Olympics just go to show Canada is no longer guaranteed to win a best-on-best tournament in hockey.
That said, I don't think the USA has much to worry about, it's only 1 game in the opening round.
And I don't know much about the tourney's schedule, but maybe more important games in later rounds will be in prime time???

So I've watched Canada's 2 games so far. First, they barely hang on to beat a bunch of amateurs from South Africa. That's not a typo, South Africa.
Then, today they beat the USA!
The greatest moment ever for Baseball Canada, and the game was super-entertaining. Big hits, big defensive plays, an inside-the-park homerun, huge momentum swings.
I have to admit I didn't have a lot of interest in this, in fact I came across the first game by accident while surfing. I had kinda forgotten about it.
But it's turned out to be 2 very entertaining ball games. Just the tonic for the March blahs.
Anybody else watching?

Well, I bought a figure lot on ebay the other day and picked up because the seller was local.
The auction was nothing special, just a bunch of figs in a Darth Vader carrying case. When I got home I opened up the case and looky what I found that wasn't in the auction pictures:
His stickers are gone and he doesn't walk very well, but he is in very nice shape, clean and white.
Not something I was looking for, but now that I have it it's nice to own this little piece of Canadian SW toy history.

I got the SW "365 Days" book for Christmas and I wasn't too impressed. But then I paged through it and it is really great! There are lots of interesting tidbits on how effects and shots were accomplished in all 6 movies. As someone who works in the biz, I enjoyed reading about the SW "tricks of the trade".
I highly recommend this book, even though it covers all 6 flicks and isn't technically an EPIII book as such.

I already had it, but I picked up the OT one for a buddy the other day in a used bookstore for the grand total of $25.00....needless to say I paid more for mine a couple of years ago 
But it IS an awesome book.
The PT one is going for about $120 at Costco here in Toronto. Probably won't get it though, unless someone here changes my mind with a review. The thought of looking through pages and pages of pics and info on Jar Jar is painful.
