John Harper's Jealousy

I'm not sure if you've been keeping tabs on this story from the NY Times, but it seems that John Harper has all but made up his mind that Bautista is on performance enhancing drugs.

Now I admit I don't know jack about Harper but would he be asking these same questions if Bautista was a Yankee? Did he ask these same questions about Giambi, A-Rod, Pettitte or Clemens at the time they were actually doing steroids & playing for the Yankees?

I guess Harper must have missed the part where Bautista said recently that he had been tested twice in the last month for performance enhancers along with some of his teammates.

Harper ends his piece saying "Bautista is a great story. Let's hope he's legit".

I end this piece by saying "Harper is a jealous asshole. Even if he's legit".

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.
