Born Blue: 5 in a MORROW!

5 in a MORROW!

Jays won today bringing the tally to five straight wins! Keep up the good work boys.

Of course, the big story today is three home runs in three straight at bats for Hip Hip Jose Bautista. This guy is killing the ball right now. His average is around .360, his OPS is 1.315 (usually .800 is good) and he's got 16 home runs, which is 9 more than he had at this point last year. Frigging unreal. So I guess he's on pace to pass triple digits in home runs this year! Sweet.

You gotta wonder if the Yankees & Boston are trying to steal samples of his DNA so they can clone him 9 times each.

Background for Born Blue

The Jays were born in ’77, as was I.

This is my team.

I remember watching from the bleachers in Exhibition Stadium. I remember watching Stieb (hero) pitch. I remember being a performer in the opening of the dome.

I was in the stands spring training games in Duneden in ’92 with the family and yes Alomar was a dick even then.

I remember thinking “now would be a good time for a HR Joe” in the fall of 93. That thought from the rocking chair in my living room in Whitby and I didn’t say it out loud because I’m a baseball fan and that of course that means I’m very superstitious.

I remember being the first guy in the stands with a “Hip Hip Jose” sign, way back in the middle of 2010 before he hit 54 dingers (I hope that sign catches on). I remember thinking Morrow is the new Stieb after the one-hit, 17 k outing.

I was born blue, I bleed blue & I blog blue.
