Yesterday, Magpie wondered who would be the next Jays' starter to throw a complete game, noting that it hasn't happened since the Good Doctor was in town. Tonight, it almost happened.
Before I was even born - it's such a gamble when you get a face. It's fascinating to observe what the mirror does, but when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place.
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. He felt the itchy trigger finger, and after the game, the club designated Merkin Valdez and Jeremy Accardo for assignment, to be replaced by Josh Roenicke and Rommie Lewis.

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.
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.
NUKE: Can't you let me enjoy the moment?
CRASH: The moment's over.
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.
