August Swoon, Dog Days, and summer movies

August has brought a swoon to Toronto. After dusting off the yanks, Red Sox, the Jays cannot get things into the first gear.

Orioles came in an took 2 of 3. Tigers stole game1 of 3,Casey got knocked his perch in a 9th inning met down,Jays won the middle game, thanks to a less than stellar Joe Nathan, but the Jays don't look formidable.  They seem be ready for an August swoon, the Rays are coming !

Jays toss the old horsehide around.   In August, it is tradition for each team to hold a " dog days " event.


The Jays are no exception to that promotion, but the term The phrase dog days refers to the sultry days of summer  In the Northern Hemisphere the dog days of summer are most commonly experienced in the months of July and August, which typically observe the hottest summer temperatures. In the Southern Hemisphere, they typically occur in January and February, in the midst of the austral summer.

 The August swoon is upon us, 3weeks till someone says these games really count. Of course they count, but these next 3 count out teams, and count in those that survive.

And August movies, I like the Guardians, the Apes so far. Somehow I am the 6th guardian, but cannot divulge the plot twist in the sequel.
