Halfway Home

It wasn’t the best way to open up a long weekend series at the new Yankee Stadium. At least Scott Rolen had the right idea, doing his best to take advantage of the jet stream at the new place by hitting everything to right. It paid off with a total of one single […]
Tampa Got Ricky Rolled

The Blue Jays closed out the homestand by putting on a Canada Day show for the faithful, with in-game fireworks as well as the post-game ones and another terrific performance by Ricky Romero.
Romero shut out the Rays on four hits over eight innings before handing things over to Jason Frasor, who struck out […]
Quar(antine) Is Over

I got to go to a baseball game tonight!
I saw a typical Matt Garza special, but at least I got to go to a baseball game tonight. I really do appreciate all the kind words and wishes from so many of you out there - really, it was no major illness or anything. […]
Doc’s Back, I’m Next

It’s rare enough to see a guy hit a foul ball with home run distance and then later in the same at-bat fix that and hit a home run, but it’s even more rare to see that happen when Roy Halladay is on the mound. That’s what Carl Crawford did last night, though, […]
It’s Finally Over

The Blue Jays are done with interleague play! Huzzah!
They finished an ugly 7-11 on the year - only the last-place Indians and A’s were worse in the American League (at 5-13). And the Jays got to play the NL East, where EVERY team had a losing record in interleague, as well as a […]

Nuff said about yesterday, though it doesn’t seem to have affected them much in looking to take the series with a win today.
Here’s yesterday’s edition of The JaysTalk with Zack Cooper and Jerry Howarth, for your listening pleasure:
I’ll put up today’s The JaysTalk later on this afternoon, and remember to tune in at […]
Wow, Ricky!

You know, in all my years of following this great game, I have never seen a no-hitter live. It would have been just my luck to have Ricky Romero throw one while I was on the DL. Romero fell short, but he dazzled again. He’s been phenomenal in every single one of his […]
So Here’s The Deal

Unfortunately, I’m down with that crazy flu thing that’s been going around, and I’m not allowed to go into work until Tuesday night.
That sucks.
I hope you enjoyed Zack Cooper last night, he and Alex Seixeiro will be handling The JaysTalk duties for the next few days. I’ll host The Blue Jays This Week […]
Observations From The Sickbed

What, you didn’t think a little swine flu was going to keep me down, did you? OK, well, it’s probably not swine flu (for some reason they didn’t test me), but I have to pass along my regrets for not being able to answer the bell tonight. Only my second sick day in […]
Early Explosion

Even though the Blue Jays nearly blew a six-run lead far later on in last night’s game, you kind of got the feeling this one was over after the Jays simply took Bronson Arroyo to the woodshed off the hop. Five batters into the bottom of the first inning, the Jays had a […]
