Its becoming a familiar story. For the second season in a row the Canadians were bounced from the playoffs by the Grays after the Grays ducked the team all season. After a bitter loss to the Brewers in the morning game the Canadians laid down in game two with a make-shift roster. Too many errors, not enough timely hits, and being hungover sunk the boys. Congrats to the Brewers and Grays. As for the Canadians, this team is on the verge of adopting the "wait till next year" slogan. So while today is disappointing, I'm sure we can reflect on a great season in a few weeks. Who knows what roster changes will occur this off-season, but we can only hope the league changes the playoff format and expands the season. Nobody draws in a crowd like the Canadians. People travel from Boston to see these guys play and asking them to play three games in a weekend is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Taking a page out of the Bud Light playbook, Molson Canadian would like to salute real men of genius. Cue music (and you have to imagine that guy signing the parts in parentheses)
Molson Canadian proudly presents Real Men of Genius. (Real men of genius)
Molson Canadian salutes you Mr. Father Coaching his kids way to long guy (Mr. Father Coaching his kid way to loooooonnnnggggg guy)
It is you that has coached your son for way to long (He's no longer in middle school)
It is you who gives signs to the leadoff hitter (He's gunna bunt!)
It is you who holds team meetings before playoffs (Even on Saturday night)
It is you who visits the mound at the first sign of trouble (It was only one hit)
It is you who thinks the integrity of the game is jeopardized because of F-Bombs (F%$# Y*#)
It is you who breaks out the rule book for the meaningless uniform enforcement rule (Where is his Jersey?)
It is you who holds out faith that your son still deserves to bat in the 3-hole and plays SS (He can also catch)
It is you who endlessly repeats the common phrases "get an out," "throw strikes," "keep your head down," "cheer positively," "play baseball," "ducks on the pond," "You saw him," and our personal favorite "lets get some runs." (Pleeeeeaaaaassssseeee shut up!)
So crack open an ice cold Molson Canadian Mr. Father Coaching his kids way to long guy, because without you your team would have had to put together ....the lineup.
See you next year
