I promised to look into the frequency of wild pitches and passed balls depending on whether Molina or Zaun was behind the plate.

Prepare to be astonished.

Here's my $.02 on the current state of the Blue Jays world (which is now worth $.018 US, thanks to the ever-rising Canadian dollar).

Pitchers are a different breed. They all strive for that perfect balance between power, command, and composure under pressure, all without injuring their arm. In the striving, a good number of them teeter on the edge of sanity. Many others, while sane, are just a little out there. A. J. Burnett is an upstanding member of the pitching fraternity in the latter group, with iconoclast credentials ranging from bats engraved with "Marilyn Manson" to nipple rings. Today we give him the Hall Watch treatment. He's far from a Hall of Famer, but with pitchers one never knows.

Jays lose, to the Marlins. Bummer.

Jobu speaks! You listen!

Here's the latest news!

In case you missed the news, everyone's favourite former Blue Jay, Esteban Loaiza (also known as Lord Voldemort, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, et al), was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and for reckless driving. According to the reports, Loaiza was driving his brand-new Ferrari 130 MPH at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. He failed the road-side sobriety test, though his blood alcohol content was not released. (In California the legal limit is .08.)

Hey, they walk amongst us right now. I wonder who they are.

Note - (Slightly revised and expanded)

To celebrate my arrival as an official member of the Roster (huzzah!), I think it's time to play a little game I like to call "Draft and Follow".  There are prizes to be won... yes, prizes.

It's been said that baseball is a game of numbers, which is pretty silly when you actually think about it.

B.J. and the B.J.s drop the Os.

Two months in the books, a third of the season. Let's check in on the Blue Jays rotation.

I was thinking about Josh Towers the other day, and I was wondering: how much of his decline was due to loss of command, and how much of it was due to being forced to perform in situations not suited to his skills?

UPDATE: May 31 from Jobu: "Ladies and Gentleman, the wait is finally over! The votes have been tabulated, a field has been chosen and most importantly, a shiny new website has been created to detail the registration process for everyone. So read on TBBL players, and get ready to play ball!"

Bored with Sudoku?  Crosswords too easy?  Then, how about a baseball puzzle over lunch.

I went to yesterday's game, and I took notes. Here they are.
