Not to sound patronizing here my friends, but in the absence of any concrete news, I think it’s important not to get too high or too low with any particular news cycle - and believe me, I’m speaking from experience.  Just when everything seems to be falling in place, a wrench gets thrown into things.  And just when it seems hopeless, we’re given hope.  We’ll all just have to roll with the punches for a little bit longer.

I do think it noteworthy to tell you that people from several different camps - often with competing agendas and different viewpoints, continue to work awfully hard to make baseball happen here.  Whatever happens, those who support baseball in Ottawa should never lose sight of who their friends were in all of this - Miles Wolff, Kyle Bostwick, Ray Pecor, Cat’s Pride, Baseball Canada, Neate Sager, Darren Desaulniers, Pete Toms, The Sollows, and one individual who, while eschewing the spotlight, is playing an absolutely pivotal role.  Someday we’ll force him out of the shadows. (I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone.)

Whatever happens, whatever the result - good or bad, right or wrong, it cannot be said that any of them quit.  I’m proud to find myself in their company, on their side of the fight.
