Jays Game Today

We're listening to the game at work today and Morrow's got two outs in the inning, the Jays are up 7-0 and this asshole at work goes "Morrow hasn't even had a guy in scoring position." And now, 4 runs later the same asshole says "No lead is safe at Fenway that's for sure".

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.
