A Blunder Of Epic Proportions!

August 22nd, 2007 1 Comment

Leah and I are fans of the Toronto FC. So much so that I want to get an official team home jersey. During the last game I went to the merchandise booths looking for one; they were all sold out. In fact, according to the reps on hand, they’ve been almost 100% sold out since [...]
