What Did I Miss?

What did I miss?  Well, as soon as Dotel came into the game last night I shut it off.  That's simply my rule.  I can't watch that guy pitch....it should be my rule for Frasor as well, and maybe Franky Fransisco cause he takes three years to make a single pitch but we'll see how it goes next time.  So I missed the loss yesterday.  I'd say it was a shame but Jo Jo fell apart in the third after E3's error but let's face it he wouldn't be here if he wasn't out of options.

What else did I miss?  The whole day game.  I forgot it was getaway day and I missed Morrow pitch.  I was at a router seminar which is somewhat of an excuse but I stupidly forgot about getaway day so I probably would've missed it at work too.  Missing Morrow pitch is equal to treason in my books.  His 17K one hitter last year makes me believe he is the Stieb of right now.  I believe in this guy, I know he can succeed.

I also missed Hip Hip Jose taking a ball off the wrist that everyone thought he took off the head.  He says he's okay on Twitter - and let's hope that he is - cause he's the most consistent, best, kick ass, god-like player we have right now.

Alright, and last but not least............I have been avoiding Getting Blanked & Drunk Jays Fans lately because of all the Farrell bashing.  It's his first year, he's gonna make mistakes, and I can live with that but apparently those guys can't.  Fact of the matter is, we all think we could run this team better than the manager, or the GM or whomever.

That being said........I have to agree with these guys on the demotion of Snider.  I can't fathom this move.  I have no idea why Rivera has been in the lineup (regardless of him being hot for three days), or Edwin at third ever (even with injuries) but for crying out loud Snider's only problem was that he shaved his moustache going into Seattle.  Ever since he shaved that thing off he hasn't hit.  I can't blame him for shaving it off cause it looked like shit (I know cause I'm 10 years older and all I can grow is that same shit moustache) but for the love of God you're a baseball player and superstition is a part of your existence.  When you're on a hot streak you can't change a thing - you can't change your socks, wash the underwear you're wearing, let a black cat cross your path, cut your hair and most importantly - you CAN'T SHAVE!  I can only hope that @lunchboxhero45 loses his razor & finds his groove again so he's back up with the club permanently.
