Canada Sucks

[redbirdjazzz]

Probably also weighing into the decision is how little Buerhle would actually be home during the season compared to the convenience for the kids of living at home in St. Louis. I might or might not make the same decision in his place, but I'm certainly not ready to condemn what was apparently a carefully considered decision made between him and his wife.

Buehrle and the dog are on the down low, people.

I've always hated Canada.

Yup, gotta think "pay someone to look after the dog" was the way to go here rather than "ditch your family for six months."

[docellis]

I don't know. There is travel for around 80 days a year anyway. The wife is from St. Louis. She might not want to live in Canada anyway just to see her husband 80 days of the 162 he will be working. I'm not sure I would. I'm sure Toronto is great, but if the options were see your husband 80 more days a year and live there, or live where my extended family is 365 ....

Anyway, it might not have been HIS choice completely.

Plus of those 80 days they have games at home, think about how many are night games where I assume the life of the ballplayer goes something like: show up to stadium by noon. play game. shower. interviews. post game [expletive]. get home about midnight. Not much family time in there...

I try not to criticize what families do so long as they are trying and doing what they think is best for them and theirs which the Buehrle's are apparently doing.

That said, I don't get it. It's a dog.
