Series Loss to Pirates Highlights Issues
Posted on 1 Jul 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The Blue Jays (40-42) have inched past the season’s half-way point with more questions than answers, many of which were brought to light as they lost two of three at home to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The status of the rotation became a hot-button issue once again (Jo-Jo Reyes and Brett Cecil were knocked around), as did the team’s defence. The highlights included a Brandon Morro...

Series-Closing Win Offers Optimism for Struggling Jays
Posted on 14 Apr 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The Blue Jays (6-6) were fortunate to emerge from their three-game set in Seattle with a win after such a destructive start that saw the bullpen blow a 7-0 lead. That, plus a 3-2 M’s win on the strength of a sensational outing by pitching phenom Michael Pineda, gave Seattle the series win, but the Jays are hoping that their 8-3 victory in the finale will help them past a disappo...

Midterm Selections
Posted on 15 Jul 2010 by Ron Burr.
The 2nd half starts tonight for about half of the teams (14, in case you were wondering), and Friday for the rest of them (including the Birds). So now is as good of a time as any to arbitrarily assign grades to the team. Unlike some other graders (like Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun and his grades), I am going to go by area other than individual player, then expand in the comments below...

When Corey Patterson homered to make it a 5-2 Seattle Mariners lead, I smiled. It was nice to see him contributing immediately, and it made the game look a little more respectable. When Adam Jones struck o...

The First Card Falls…
Posted on 13 May 2010 by Ron Burr.
The first head has rolled, all the way to Norfolk, VA. In a move that surprised almost no one, it was Nolan Reimold. I am still expecting Luke Scott to get the boot unless his recent hitting reversal continues (and doesn't plateau where it is now), but this was the right move by Andy MacPhail. I watched the game Tuesday night, and Reimold not only looked lost at the plate, he looked lost in...

Andy MacPhail decides against seppuku. For now…
Posted on 7 May 2010 by Ron Burr.
Well, those good feelings didn't last too long. Fresh off of a 3 game sweep of the Boston Red Sox, the Baltimore Orioles go into The House That Avarice Built and get swept by the New York Yankees. We walked over. We limped back. And so, before the O's went to Minnesota to take on the Twins in a 4 game set, MacPhail decided to let us (and the team) know, in no uncertain terms, that this lack of...
