The Jays played their wildest game of the year, and must have made AA jealous sitting up there in his box and not getting in on the action.

It is generally my firm conviction that when your team needs to establish something positive, there is simply nothing quite like seeing the Kansas City Royals on the schedule.

Somewhere J.P. Ricciardi is smiling.

Jays lose 8-7 to the White Sox after Jason Frasor blows the save. More importantly: what is the record for most consecutive games with a save situation to open a season? I guess that's kind of a convoluted stat, but 7 seems like a lot to me. Also, Vernon homered again.

Indeed. In fact, it's the famous words spoken by Winston Wolf, when Vincent and Jules are congratulating themselves on the wonderful job they've just done cleaning all the blood and gore out of the car, that come to my mind right about now.

You don't feel taken and you don't feel abused.

Oh, who the hell am I kidding? PLAYOFFS!

Vernon Wells has earned his salary so far this season.

I've always hated the day off after Opening Day.  It's like someone saying, "hey, here's that steak you've been waiting for," and then swiping it away after your first bite.
