Recap: Clevelands 4 vs Blue Jays 5 – Or Francisco, Reyes, Bats Master Cleveland’s Son
(Thanks Frank Gunn!) If you disregard the emblem on the shoulder, it sure looks as though I’m not the only one who’s trying to see how the world responds to just a little less blatant racism on the Cleveland Baseball Team’s jersey. And if you disregard the first three innings (in which they were set…

Recap: Blue Jays (19-20) snap 3 game slide with 7-3 win over Angels (19-18)
Mark Buehrle did it again. Like he has all season, he spotted his stuff and got swings on pitches that caught just enough, but not too much of the plate. Although, to say he was fooling Angels hitters tonight would be a bit of a stretch. Over 6+ innings of work, Buehrle allowed 6 hits,…

Blue Jays make it 5 in a row with 12-6 win over Phillies
That was fun. 12 runs, 5 home runs, a solid start from “ace” R.A. Dickey, a perfect inning and a third from Marcus “the saviour” Stroman. All combining to give the Jays a 4 game sweep of the Phillies and their 5th win in a row. And hey, don’t look now, but the Blue Jays…

Recap: Phillies 0 vs Blue Jays 10 – Or Buehrle, Bats Send Phillies Back to 2008.
(CP) No, I’m the ace of the Blue Jays! No, I am! No, I AM! A simplistic (and arguably childish) description of the Blue Jays’ rotation at current. R.A. Dickey, while he hasn’t pitched like one consistently, was acquired to lead this rotation, but I spoke last night about how Drew Hutchison was pitching like…

Recap: Blue Jays 6 vs Phillies 5 (10 inn) – Or: Stroman’s First Career Victory!
(Thank you Matt Slocum/Associated Press) It’s a sweep (kind of)! And Marcus Stroman got his first career win (after the Jays blew another 5-0 lead) in a 6-5 extra innings victory. At least for the moment, it’s the first sweep, good or bad, that the Jays have been involved in this year (And we should…

Recap: Blue Jays 3 @ Phillies 0 – Or Jose and J.A. will the Jays to Victor…ay?
To quote the fictional philosopher, Ace Ventura, “Take care, now. Bye-bye then.” This message was hilariously mimed by Jose Bautista after the game’s final out to silence his taunting critics in the right field bleachers. But it also served symbolic as the Jays silenced…

Recap: Blue Jays 6 vs Pirates 8 – Or, If This Keeps Up, I’m Going To Develop Depression.
What’s it been like watching the Blue Jays over the past two weeks? Ask home plate umpire Adam Hamari how it felt as that breaking ball jumped up and bit him in the gonads.

Recap: Blue Jays 5 @ Pirates 3 – until Sergio Santos came in.
And another one gone, and another one gone. Another lead bites the dust. The Blue Jays had a two-run lead stolen from them by the aptly-named Pirates, as de-facto closer Sergio Santos allowed two homers in the 9th inning in a 6-5 disappointment.
