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.

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.
