The Fan 590

OH MY GOD.  Alan Ashby - announcer for the blue jays & the fan 590 - just said "it's gotten to the point where I don't care what Edwin Encarnacion says you just can't let him handle the leather".  Fucking Awesome.  I love the fact that he doesn't hold back!

Jays Game Today

We're listening to the game at work today and Morrow's got two outs in the inning, the Jays are up 7-0 and this asshole at work goes "Morrow hasn't even had a guy in scoring position."  And now, 4 runs later the same asshole says "No lead is safe at Fenway that's for sure".

Three Day Weekend

Saw the Jays in person this weekend Friday, Saturday & Sunday.  I thought the only shot they had at winning was friday when Kyle Kendrick faced off against Ricky Romero but I was wrong cause the bullpen blew that game.

We only won sunday.  Cliff Lee gave up two home runs in an inning quite uncharacteristically to Thames & Bautista.  However, it brought my Bautista witnessing homer games to 3 in a row this weekend.  He hit one EVERY SINGLE GAME THIS WEEKEND.   I'm so glad June is over so he can get back to clobbering the ball.

Personally I came out of this weekend on a sweet note.  I'd never been to three Jays games in a row.  Plus, I nabbed a Canada Day T-Shirt, A Mr Sub Bag, A Vote Jose button (for a three $ donation) and a batting practice foul ball!  The foul ball can get wiped off my bucket list and the rest is just gravy!!!

Doc

Romero pitched a complete game shutout today & even got a two RBI single in the process. It was great to see the entire starting staff giving him an ovation from the dugout.

In other news Doc Halliday got his 10th win of the season today and is 30 - 3 lifetime with the Phillies when they give him a lead since leaving the Jays. What an ace that guy is!  Can't wait to see him @ Rogers Center this weekend.

Bautista BOMB!

Wow.  9th inning Bautista Bomb to take the lead 5-4 in St. Louis.  Wow.  Hopefully he's coming out of that slump going to be on fire going into July.  Way to pick up Morrow who gave up an uncharacteristic two homers tonight.  Go Jays Go!

McCoy sent down, Thames recalled

It was just announced that Mike McCoy just went back to Vegas & Eric Thames was recalled as if this is supposed to break the Jays out of this hitting slump.

I'll wager, in some alternate universe Brett Lawrie & his swagger were brought up one series earlier than when he broke his hand, and the Jays are soaring 5 games above .500 right now.  Lordie we need Lawrie.

Bautista HR Leader Still

Bautista had not hit a homer in 8 games, he hits one today to stay on top of the leader board in homers in all of MLB.  How frigging awesome was the first two months of the season that he can have only 2 dingers in June and still lead all of MLB.  That is pretty effin incredible.
