• John Farrell as Metaphorical Donkey

  Stop me if you have heard this… A man, a boy and a donkey (maybe a camel) are wandering through the desert. The man and the boy walk as the donkey carries their supplies on its back. They walk through a small village, and overhear the villagers...

• Rotation Battle Loses Another

  Well it is official, Zep is no longer vying for a spot in the Jays rotation. This does not mean Litsch or Reyes has won the spot but it seems the back end of the rotation will feature Drabek and Litsch. Zack Stewart was sent to New Hampshire a couple...

• Francisco Update

  This just in…Frank Francisco has a date with Dr. Andrews, the most feared man in MLB history, and the breaker of hearts. Don’t jump to conclusions, but it usually isn’t good news and Francisco was looking like the faves for saves ( 1...

• How Good is Lawrie? So Good he Made us Think Like Idiots

  Brett Lawrie is a top prospect in baseball. No question. He and Anthony Gose are two types of players that this city hasn’t seen in years in terms of raw talent and athleticism. Their upside is perennial all-star, and I won’t delve into the...

• And so it Begins…

  Yunel Escobar is off to some start. I mean watching him play, it seems like he can do just about everything. The defence is airtight and the bat can do anything from bunt to pop an opposite field homer. He has some speed, he likes to hustle and will...

• After the Fallout

  I received an email about a month ago from Adrienne that simply read, what’s the point? Clearly, a jaded current or former Jays fan, but after last night’s game who wouldn’t ask that question. Good teams have bad games or bad innings,...

• Expectations and Predictions and Back to Expectations

  If your parents wanted you to be a lawyer or a doctor, and you end up as something else, is this a failure on your part or a failure of proper, realistic expectations? Sports fans let their expectations run wild and than blame teams or players for their..

• Paging Bruce Walton…

  4 1/3 innings, 13 hits, 11 runs, 10 earned, 3 BB, 2 K – Does this look right to you? This was Cecil’s line last night in Vegas and put aside park factor all you want, the guy is struggling. I almost hope there is an injury to explain his...
