Jays beat Twins in 10
Posted on 2 Oct 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
At this point in the season, there’s not much left to play for if you’re the Blue Jays. The team could be forgiven for solely counting down until season’s send, but apparently that’s not what Toronto has in mind. After kicking off the scoring in the first on Adam Lind’s single to score Rajai Davis, the Jays were unable to keep the Minnesota Twins on the scoreboard. Aaron Laffey lacked...

Jays lose doubleheader to Yanks
Posted on 20 Sep 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
On a day where both Jays’ starters pitched well, the offence just couldn’t come up with enough support to get a win. Henderson Alvarez had one of his better starts of the season. He lasted seven innings, struck out seven, walked none, and gave up five hits. The three runs he allowed in the game all came in the first inning, but he managed to shut it down after that. It was a nice progressio...

Romero walks 8 in loss to Tigers
Posted on 21 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
The season has not been kind to Ricky Romero. After going 8-1 before the All-Star Break, Romero hasn’t been able to record a win in ten starts. His latest attempt against the Detroit Tigers was another forgettable trip to the mound for Romero. Over his last ten games, Romero has shown moments of improvement over his control issues that have plagued him all season. In his last start against th...

Toronto leaves Seattle winless; lose 5-3
Posted on 2 Aug 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
If the Blue Jays’ series against the Seattle Mariners is any indication of how their current road trip is going to go, Toronto is going to be in tough to scrounge-up even a .500 record on this ten game trip. Wednesday night’s game seemed as if the Jays had a chance to avoid being swept. Starter Carlos Villanueva was trying to avoid his first loss of the season and worked well over his six i...

Toronto beats Detroit, 8-3
Posted on 28 Jul 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
The Blue Jays started off their series against the Detroit Tigers in a positive way. After avoiding the sweep with a 10-4 win against Oakland yesterday, Toronto was hoping to kick the weekend off with a win on Friday night. Starter Carlos Villanueva was not at his most efficient, needing 99 pitches to make it through five innings. But, after giving up two, two-out solo homeruns to Miguel Cabrer...

Angels glad to be out of Toronto
Posted on 2 Jul 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
I'll take a split in Toronto anytime. I'm not gonna quote you any stats, it just seems to me that the Halos have trouble north of the border. They took game 1 because they out-slugged the Jays. Mike Trout, who's headed to the All-Star game, hit the game winner. Another All-Star, Mark Trumbo and one non-All-Star Albert Pujols did, as well. The key play came on the defensive side though. Erick ...

All’s quiet on the Angels front, but I found something
Posted on 27 Dec 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I've wanted to write something about the Angels, but things have been rather quiet lately. I guess when a team spends over $350 million in one day, things were bound to slow down. While there is nothing new happening…….What? Wait…This just in. Angels ink Ryan Langerhans, Eric Hurley and Robinzon Diaz to minor league contracts. Nothing to get excited about as these guys will ju...

Jays Swap Mills for Mathis
Posted on 3 Dec 2011 by Ben Fisher.
Today’s trade of Brad Mills to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for back-up catcher Jeff Mathis comes down to one simple question: does Mathis hold greater value than any of the position’s available free agents? There is little question that Mathis is a solid addition and immediately becomes one of the most reliable and defensively consistent back-ups in the league. The arbitration-eligib...

Call it what you want, but Jeff Mathis is now a Blue Jay
Posted on 3 Dec 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
The Angels made a huge move this morning, acquiring Houston Astros manager Brad Mills. No, not really, but they did pick up Brad Mills from the Blue Jays. What did it take to get the lefty with a lifetime ERA of 8.57? It only took a guy with a lifetime batting average of .194. Yes, Angels fans, Jeff Mathis is now a Toronto Blue Jay. Mathis career in an Angels uniform is now over. I will be the...

After catching flak, Angels stopped chatting and finally did some dealing
Posted on 30 Nov 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Yes, I haven't written much on the Halos lately. Not because I don't care, far from it, it's just that they had done nothing. That's not entirely true, as they did hire Matt Klentak as their assistant GM. The 31 year old whiz kid was pretty much the only news the Halos made of late. That all changed Wednesday afternoon, when the Angels sent pitcher Tyler Chatwood to the Colorado Rockies for cat...

Jerry’s no dummy, but will he be the one pulling the strings?
Posted on 30 Oct 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I remember Jerry DiPoto, the pitcher. Nothing special, more of a journeyman. Now I'll care about what he does on a daily basis since he is the new Angels General Manager. His new job will be tougher than any situation he ever faced as a player. He comes with a great resume in scouting. We all know about the players he took from the Angels in the Dan Haren deal, let's just hope he can do that s...

Angels close to decision on their new GM. Or are they?
Posted on 15 Oct 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I felt a true sigh of relief when I heard Bill Stoneman was in charge of finding the Angels next General Manager. I'm sure he'll waver on his decision, eventually being unable to pull the trigger. Good to see the Vernon Wells effect has cost at least 3 Halo executives their jobs. I promise you that if Wells hit 280, with 25 and 90, there would have been no change in the executive hierarchy. No...
