The Jays hope to enjoy more walk-off wins in 2012 like this one against the Baltimore Orioles September 10.
Okay, so it's not really "breaking news" of massive import, but it's fun to keep track ...
Yesterday, stalwart St. Louis Cardinals 1B Albert Pujols passed noted all-or-nothing journeyman slugger Dave Kingman into 37th place on the all-time home run list by hitting his 443rd.
So, does Albert have another 320 or so bullets left in that gun-like bat of his? Where does he end up on the all-time list?
DeWayne Wise has been claimed by the Jays on waivers to fill the CF hole. Colby Rasmus will go on the DL tomorrow. I guess Wise rated higher than Darin Mastroianni who has been left to his major league memories in Las Vegas. But seriously bball12 might have a point here, why didn't the Jays recall Mastro? It is not a vote of confidence in Mastro.
John Farrell is on the one day DL, he has been diagnosed with pneumonia. Under doctors orders Farrell will miss today's game and will probably be back tomorrow, but like all of us, he is day-to-day. Don Wakamatsu is in charge tonight.
A few days ago Farrell thought this team could win 88 games, I hope that doesn't mean the Jays play all the veterans in September to pad the team's record.
Jim Thome is the Cleveland Indians' all-time career home run leader with 334.
Now, Thome has been traded, via waiver claim for a PTBNL, to ... the Cleveland Indians!
Maybe the latest 600-homer guy can bring his career full-ciricle now and retire with the Tribe ... in the playoffs?
Brett Lawrie has been called up by the Jays.
Travis Snider is headed back to Las Vegas.
Carlos Villanueva is headed to the DL.
Luis Perez is recalled but will pitch out of the bullpen.
So I wore my Cleveland Indians necktie to work today. Think it choked a little bit?
Ervin "Not Johan" Santana no-hit the Tribe, 3-1 today. Your thoughts, comments, observations?
