I think I jinxed Shawn Camp. Ever since i called him a super reliever he's been awful.

Our BP threw another one away yesterday.

I see Matt 'Chia Chin' Garza threw a no hitter last night. It's all getting a bit silly now isn't it?

Adding two big bats this weekend in Kearns and Berkman. Both won't be starters and we're not giving up much to get them. They will replace Miranda and Curtis. The legend of George lives on.

Bit of a surprising win for the Jays last night. AJ really doesn't enjoy pitching against his old team. He helped us tie an AL record with 6 2Bs in one inning.

That said, I predict that normal service will resume tonight and A-Rod will finally get #600, either off Romero or Tallet.

Wish A-Rod would hit his 600th. Bogging the team down.

Spectacularly wrong there - thankfully. Ricky Ro was fantastic last night, as were the rest of the Jays. Great performance offensively and defensively. Going for the sweep this afternoon. That would be something.

TBH I think there's too much fuss being made over this #600 milestone and would agree that it's starting to affect the whole team. The thing with the different balls for A-Rod is ridiculous. It's like the significance of every AB A-Rod has is being hammered home - which with all this pressure is the one thing he can't seem to do.

Going for a 5-1 Yankees win with A-Rod homering in the 1st.

Haha. Nice editing

The cloud from yesterday's game is that John Buck was placed on the DL with a cut to his finger. The silver lining is that the Jays called up their AAA catching prospect JP Arencibia. He's averaged 303 average with 31 home runs, 79 RBI amd 64 extra base hits in 95 games for the Vegas 51s this season. We're all very excited in Jaysland to see what he can do in the bigs. Let's just hope the manager actaully plays him now.

Dunno what you're talking about? Check the time out? Makes me laugh how you swing at anything, think you avergae 3.5 pitches per plate appearance which is 3rd behind the orioles and royals.

That's what happens when your manager is really a hitting coach. It's the Cito philosophy. Swing for the fences or die trying. Hopefully there's only 2 more months left of that philosophy. Although all the HRs this season have been fun to watch.

Funnily enough it's Bautista who seems to show the most patience at the plate, walking 64 times so far this season. That makes his HR tally even more incredible.
