I’ll Have Another reaches the 20-episode mark just as Toronto FC starts its playoff run and the Raptors kick off their season. It makes the episode right up the alleys of co-host Doug Smith, the Star’s veteran basketball reporter, and Laura Armstrong, the rookie who provides the paper’s soccer coverage. Smith and Armstrong praise the Reds for earning the team’s first home game in club history, to be played Wednesday, but doubt that will pull much attention away from the Raptors opening game against Detroit Pistons that same night. Also on tap: talking the Leafs “perfect” season so far, saying a proper goodbye to the Blue Jays and imploring the franchise to re-sign Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. Plus, some Blue Collar Pale Ale to toast a milestone episode.
