Yes, finally some well
Yes, finally some well deserved recognition. Afterall, did the Leafs, Blue Jays, Argos or Raptors make their fans happy?????
Simply put,
Simply put, Somebeachsomewhere.

Finally someone has given The Beach his dues. He should be newsmaker of the year as it was his total racing ability and one of the very very bright spots of a gloomy 2008 that was put forth.

The best of luck in your new career.
