Game #26 - Why Win When You Can Lose?
Hughes Dickey (hehe)
Well Boesch starts off the scoring with a dingerino. 1-0 Yankees. But the Jays had scored first in the previous three games and lost. FORESHADOWING?
Couple bloops and a ... well... a weak grounder through the hole. Adam Lind - father, on base MACHINE. Tie game.
Fast forward a few innings and Izturis does something that doesn't involve playing like a pile of feces. Yes, he doubles home Bautista. Blue Jays have the lead? A win? Is it in reach?
Dickey's pitching well, Blanco makes a nice catch. But ya didn't think we could actually win a ball game, right?
Lyle freakin' Overbay hits a go ahead french fried po-tater off of Dickey.
Gibby is upset because Nunez has something in his eye. It's called a sparkle (awww)!
Rest is predictable. Robertson, Rivera, four game sweep, crying in the corner. Blue Jays made an effort but once again felt no need to actually win.
Final score: 3-2 Yankees
Other notes: Jays are sucking right now in case you didn't notice, Reyes is probably still happy - he always is

Game #25 - Still Playing Like Excrement
So not much to say today. Here's the recap:
We score first (believe it or not). Izturis gets on, Boni doubles, Davis grounds out ... and the bandwagon begins to fill up.
Happ works out of a few jams, Reyes claps in joy.
Bautista does what he does best - goes deep. Edwin gets to third somehow. He singled or somethin'... got to second and Chris Stewart pulled an Arencibia with an untimely passed ball. Scores on a sac fly because of a shitty play by Stewart... again. Dropped the ball on a slide. Blue Jays are actually happ-y because they're winning.
Happ shits the bed in the third. Walk, walk, HR by Hafner. Tie game 3-3.
Skip to the sixth inning. Lawrie takes a few shots of Red Bull, goes deep off Sabathia. Oppo taco roughly two feet. Thank you, Yankee Stadium.
You really thought we could win? Sorry...
Vernon Smells singles home Cano. Rajai zig zags to a ball in centre field hit by Hafner. Another shit-in-the-bed moment.

Meh, rest is boring. We go back to our old ways and don't hit Sabathia. Joba Chamberlain jumps off a trampoline, doesn't break his ankle, pitches ninth instead of Mo. Yay? Well, not really. Rasmus strikes out. We get some stuff going but it doesn't matter because we have no intention of winning.
Final score: 5-4 Yankees.
Amount of fans lost: A very large bucket load of bandwagoners, Mike Mccoy

The Legend of Kawasaki
I called it all along.
Through all the excitement of the Marlins trade, the Dickey swap (I hope that didn't sound dirty), the Melkman deal (that could also be dirty, I suppose), canuckleheads nationwide completely overlooked the acquisition of a legend in the making - forget "in the making." Munerori Kawasaki is a legend.
Defense. Motorcycle manufacturing. Cheap Japanese base hits. #Bowviste? What's not to love?
Dances at the command of King Felix (lookoutlanding.com)
Wait a minute... I found something not to love. I'm almost certain he's playing over his head. Listen. I hate to burst your huge Adam Jones bubble. But Kawasaki might not be around for long.
He hit an unimpressive .192 with Seattle last year with little to no pop. And we ain't talkin' bout those Japanese fruit drink pops (those are damn tasty though)!
In the end, production, not flavour is needed. Kawasaki might not fit the bill. I would be thrilled with a close to .300 OBP, assuming he makes all the plays in the field.
Now we wait for the stylish Reyes and his scarf to come back from the DL. Until then, hope that Kawasaki continues to fill the gap - because it might not happen.
Leave a comment! Now! Don't disappoint Henry Blanco. Elders don't like to be disappointed.

Five Statistics That Will Help You Calm Your Sh*t
1. The San Francisco Giants started 2-4 last year. They sucked, right? I mean... they only won ONE World Series that year.
2. On April 18th, 2012, pitching for the New York Mets, R.A. Dickey gave up eight runs over four and a third innings, allowing three home runs. He won the Cy Young Award that year. WHAT A BUM, right???
3. R.A. Dickey had a 4.45 ERA in April of 2012. This guy's a joke. #FreeRomero
4. The Blue Jays lost to the Brewers 22-2 in April of 1992. If memory serves me correct, they won the World Series.
5. Last year on June 8, the Detroit Tigers were 6 games under .500. They won the ALCS.
CALM DOWN ... it's a LOOOONG season

Farrell's Return (#BeatFarrell)
He's back...
And you'll be able to tell. Fifty thousand strong are (or should be) expected - all to "welcome" back our dear chump, Mr. Johnny Farrell.
Through all the controversy though, does he honestly merit our boos? Or even our attention for that matter? Well, yes. Here's why:
1) He manages the Red Sox; 'nuff said
2) He didn't accomplish anything in Toronto. Wait, does crappy bullpen management count as an accomplishment?
3) Did I mention he manages the Red Sox?
4) Farrell fails to answer any question. Below were his remarks on his upcoming return to T-Dot:
"People are going to have their own opinions, and I respect that. It goes along with the heightened interest in the Blue Jays and a lot of the changes they've made. There's a lot of excitement there," Farrell said of the team he managed the previous two seasons. "In this case, with how things unfolded, the unique set of circumstances that surround both the change in Toronto and here in Boston, I can fully appreciate that they might have those feelings. What might come out of it, we'll see starting tomorrow, but we're looking forward to going up there and competing against them."
So basically... he doesn't give a sh*t. About anything. I foresee a future in politics.
Well that's my two cents. Whatday'all think? #ForgetAboutFarrell or #BeatFarrell ... the latter seems far more intriguing.
Leave a comment... but be nice. We don't need any Farrells around here!
