Enjoying Kara on Overdrive. Go Kara!
Kara is a very knowledgeable sports personality…really impressed by her.
Regarding the Jays; yes, I agree with Kara that the team needs to make a big acquisition if they are to reach the World Series. I also think they need more pitching – starting, middle relief, and definitely another closer. I just hope they aren’t peaking too early, as it is only July.
Say hi to Kara…I watch her on TSN sports.
All-time sports fan,
James.
