    The Round Bus

    Is there anything better than May in Canada? The NHL playoffs are in full bloom, the patios are open, clothing is shed, parks are green, the sun shines. I would marry May in Canada if it was socially acceptable. Or at least have a torrid affair with it. The kind of torrid affair that...

    The Round Bus

    It was a horrible week. Let’s leave it at that. Putting all sports and civic allegiances aside, our thoughts are with the people of Boston, and we hope that the city soon returns to normalcy, so that we may berate their teams with impunity, as the good Lord intended. We are honoured to be...

    The Round Bus

    Another week has come and gone. Like the rain after a drought, baseball has returned and rendered fertile the barren fields of our hearts. Goodbye, Winter, nobody misses you.

    The Round Bus

    Interesting week. The Flames traded Jarome Iginla to two teams, and still got nothing of substance in return. FGCU is your new favourite university. And Brendan Shanahan reminded us that hockey has no idea how to manage itself. But, more importantly, this is the last week until November without meaningful baseball games, unless you’re...

    The Round Bus

    Another Friday is here, and what have we learned this week, dear Barnstormers? Well, the first day of spring is a vicious lie. Something is going on in Cyprus, reminding us all that Cyprus is a place. And in the US, people named Candy and Poppy have prominent roles in the media. It’s like...
