Big Hurtin

Damn we're lookin' good on the mound. A.J. turned in his second quality start in a row since coming off the DL, and even got some run support off the bat of the Big Hurt. Before rookie left-hander Garrett Olson could even record an out in the 3rd he'd already given up 5 runs in the inning, three of which came off the bat of Frank Thomas in his 19th homerun of the season. Burnett was great again, going 6.1 IP only allowing two runs. In my oppinion, what he did best was keep the first two batters off the basepaths, Brian Roberts and Gary Patterson, so they couldn't steal any bases. Although, Roberts did get a solo-homerun in the fifth...

All-in-all though the Jays weren't that great for a winning team. Only hitting 3-for-17 with RISP? Un-fucking-acceptable. I find it ridiculous that at this point in the season I'm still ragging on the Jays' offense-- Mickey Brantley, you should be fired. J.P. Ricciardi does frequently hint that Brantley's job is in jeopardy, but in reality we all know that Brantley's going to keep his job; afterall, as J.P. would say, nobody knows the hitters as well as Brantley does. Fuck that. Jesse Barfield or George Bell, at least an ex-Blue Jay, should take his job in the offseason... or earlier.

Big Pimpin

Alex Rios, you are such a fucking pimp. Look at these pictures:


Good work buddy.

The Good

Frank Thomas went deep, the first homerun in 49 innings. What the fuck?!?! And we call ourselves a power-hitting club, pfft-- we're a doubles hitting club.

That's the 6th straight quality start from Blue Jays starters, and A.J. Burnett's still doing great coming off the DL, 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA. Damn our starters are kick-ass...

Johnson and Rios got doubles, meaning that's 24 straight games with at least one double; holy crap.

The Bad

Only 3-for-17 with RISP? Are you fucking with me? Damn... we're so lucky we won.

We left 13 runners on too! Fucking ridiculous.

Curtis Thigpen, or Thiggy as I like to call him, left 4 runners on and went hitless... but he's still cooler than Zaun.

The Ugly

Thiggy's defence was pretty shaky, I must admit. But he's never caught Burnett and that curveball would be un-fucking-believably hard to catch. I guess it just wasn't his day.
