My Favourite Loss

Holy crap, that loss was fun. Yeah, we lost, but hey that was hilarious. Not only were there two bench-clearings in one inning-- that's right, two-- but there were like a half a bajillion great defensive plays by Johnny Mac, Aaron Hill, Troy Glaus, Lyle Overbay, Reed Johnson, Alex Rios and definitely not Vernon Wells. God-damnit V-Dub won't win a Gold Glove this year and I hate it.

But, on the bright side, John McDonald might, because he definitely showed up Derek Jeter tonight. Not only did he do his own signature play by sliding, getting up and throwing at the same time, but he also did Jeter's jumping thing that looks great throwing to second to end the inning. He dived, and turned a sure base-hit into a double play. He made the Yankees his bitch tonight and I'm lovin' it.

Hey, another thought, Overbay has a good chance as well. With Teixeira in Atlanta and Mientkie... out for most of the season (maybe the whole season), Lyle Overbay's great defence might be rewarded this year. Really, I wouldn't mind Vernon not getting a Gold-Glove at all, if Overbay and Johnny Mac do instead... maybe Aaron Hill as well, considering how great he's been.

I can't believe I've wrote this much without even mentioning A-Roids. In the 3rd, A-Rod got hit by a pitch in the kneecap, and immediately walked towards JT, obviously trying to mask his homosexuality. It's only natural, no man wants to admit he's a dirty bitch; I could see him yelling at Josh Towers, "Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?" Who the fuck are you? Al Pacino? Shut the fuck up Roidsy. It's funny how manly he acts once Jason Giambi's back, trying to impress a special guy A-Rod? Gregg Zaun and the home plate umpire Angel Hernandez (how the fuck do I remember his name?) held A-Rod and JT back as they exchanged words. The benches cleared, nobody threw a punch, A-Rod walked to first base. Then, JT and the infielders are talking on the mound when A-Rod starts walking towards JT again, yelling, and the benches cleared again. Seriously dumbass, why can't you just shut the fuck up? Damn A-Rod's a douche; this just proves that the Blue Jays and the Yanks just don't get along...

After A-Rod was hit by the pitch, both benches were warned. In the seventh inning, however, Clemens hit Rios in the back with a pitch so Clemens was ejected. Haha, karma's a bitch. Rios scored, along with Vernon Wells, on a Big Hurt double to break up the shutout. That's why you just don't fuck with Rios, bitch. Clemens even fought with the umpire, saying it wasn't intentional. Bitch please, it was obvious you wanted to drill him like you drilled Andy Pettitte-- but in a different sense of course.

You know what would be really great? If A-Roids got a staph infection because of that hit-by-pitch... that would make my day.

Oh, and by the way, Barry Bonds is the new home-run king.

WTF J.P!

Why the hell didn't J.P. trade Royce Clayton, he was designated for assignment God-damnit, don't release him, trade him! Trade him for a prospect, take a chance at least! I think the Jays have something wrong with trading. They didn't trade anybody at the trade deadline when they should've, they don't trade any of the many players they designated for assignment... let's take a look at the DFA club:

• Royce Clayton- Released
• Jason Phillips- Released
• Sal Fasano- Demoted [That's a good idea though, he's great]
  
• Tomo Ohka- Released
• Victor Zambrano- Released
• Howie Clark- Still DFA

Why not trade any of them? We could pick up prospects! We could've traded both Howie Clark and Royce Clayton for a good prospect, at least! This isn't one of those trades that all these assholes come up with like "trade Russ Adams, Dustin McGowan and a whole bunch of prospects for Johan Santana!"... this is a "let's trade reliable infielders for a young player that might be reliable one day." The Jays really have a problem with trading, don't they?
