Born Blue: Three Day Weekend

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!!!

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.
