It Ain't Complete 'til It's Complete... or Other Variations

Extra inning wins are always great, because they're guaranteed walk-offs, which are nice since we're lacking them this year (not a single walk-off homerun this season). Roy Halladay pitched a great ballgame to keep us in it, even though he had a shaky third to give the O's a 2-0 lead for a whole inning. I bet we got their hopes us too...

Anyway, with Aaron Hill's walkoff sac fly, that gives us our 6th extra ining victory this season and a series win over the O's after the Jays fucked it up for everybody last night with their gloves. Troy Glaus homered for the first time since July 22nd and still, amazingly, is on pace for the crappiest season of his career; not counting his injury-plagued seasons where he played >70 games of course.

Kevin Manson

Is it just me, or does Kevin Millar look like Marilyn Monroe with his crappy crappy paintjob?


Why not?

Why haven't we resigned anybody like Matt Stairs or John McDonald yet, they're MVPs, in a sense. Fuck J.P., hurry the fuck up.

Tip of the Night: if you're going to buy a whole pizza at the Centre, make absolutely sure you and friends can finish it. You can't fit the box in the garbage cans and it's a bitch to carry around.

The Good

The Jays, believe it or not, were great with runners on-- only two were left on base, and only once were runners left in scooring position with two ut: when V-Dub doubled Rios home in the fifth he was stranded with the Big Hurt at-bat.

Troy Glaus finally got a fucking homerun...

No errors? Really? Cool! Now it's 9 errors in our last seven games, hoorah.

Usually, every other game Johnny Mac makes another strangely erotic play-- but today, would be no exception. I go to games to watch him flash the leather now, it's that good. He stabbed the ball and threw out Ramon Hernandez at first with ease... also, he made a crazy heads-up play when he cut-off a throw from Rios and caught J.R. House rounding too much at first base.

Yet another double, coming off the bat of Vernon, to extend the streak to 26 games with at least one double. 31 is the club-record.

Halladay was his usual exceptional self, pitching nine innings of two-run ball...

The Bad

Halladay was his usual exceptional self, pitching nine innings of two-run ball... but because the Jays couldn't solve Jeremy Guthrie he didn't get his well deserved 15th win of the season, or his 6th complete game of the season; second in a row.

The Ugly

Nada. In fact, I'd say this game was overall very sexy.
