Just time for a quick post which I should expand upon later.  Some have wondered why I’ve been so quick to jump on board the CanAm train considering no one’s declared the Lynx era over.  Clearly there are some signs on the wall - big, glaring signs that say it is.  But, until the fat lady sings, it ain’t over.  Until then though, I guess I’m hedging my bets - given the current context,  the only way the CanAm League gets in is if the Lynx leave; they won’t be forcing them out.  Lynx stay - I’m happy.  CanAm gets in - I’m less happy, but at least we have baseball and more importantly:

“I met with the city last April and all seemed on track,” says Wolff. “I felt it would be a seamless transition.

“Now, I don’t know where it goes next. I don’t know. We wanted to keep the Lynx people in place and go from there.”

If it doesn’t happen quickly, expect layoff notices around the Lynx office.  (excerpted from the Ottawa Citizen, September 8, 2007 emphasis added)

Remember when we said our love of the Lynx was about more than just baseball?
