#27 The Jays
You know, only when I wrote 26 up there did I realize that I had gotten more than halfway done. Hooray for me! I have a feeling that the second half will go by much faster than the first *huge eye roll*
Anyway, one thing I did do with my day today was watch this afternoon's Jays game, so I guess I'll give a little bit of a recap of that.
The game started off promisingly enough, and very un-Blue Jay like. Normally this season they get behind early and make a big comeback, or they just take a while to get going. In any event, today was different as the Jays got out to a first inning 4-0 lead off the bat of Troy Glaus. Just 4 batters into the game Glaus' home run had the Jays up 4 to 0. Smooth sailing from there, right?
Well, hold on a second. Remember when I said it would be OK to have the weakened Rios in the lineup if he's still hitting holes? Well, he didnt. In fact, his bat didnt touch anything as he struck out all four times he was up to bat, including once with the bases loaded. He really does not look ready to be playing yet. That needs to be addresssed, with the extra s and everything.
Anyway, by the fifth inning call-up Dustin McGowan had already blown the lead, and the A's didn't look back strolling to a 7-4 victory.
As a special note for our Crazy Baseball Fantasy League, Tank will be happy to know that his first round pick, Reed Johnson, got beaned for the 15th time already this season. Also of note, Chavez broke the A's consecutive games at 3B without an error record with his 60th consecutive game. Not nearly as noteworthy to Tank, but probably a lot more so to everyone else :)
