So What Do We Do With Halladay? MUST READ
The Doc was on display on Tuesday night, starting for the American League All-stars, a testimony to his great start to the 2009 season. The imposing righty has put up excellent numbers going 10-3 with a 2.85 ERA. The question that remains is whether Riccardi will listen to offers...

Another Extra Innings Loss
There was something I not only said at the beginning of the season, but reiterated anytime someone would ask. "The Jays are NOT going to contenders this season, the hot bats will average out, and the losses will eventually pile up." To keep a positive spin on how well...
Update- Blue Jays and the Yankees tied at 5 in the top of the tenth inning
When I tuned into this game, it was 2-2 in the bottom of the
third inning. Six innings later, a
total of six runs have been scored, all off home runs. We have all seen the numbers and heard
baseball analysts say that new Yankee Stadium is a haven for the long ball, but
coming...
Alex Rios: Excruciating? Sure. Untradeable? Probably.
This morning on the FAN590, Keith Law mentioned Vernon Wells as being one piece of the Blue Jays' puzzle that he considered to be absolutely untradeable. It is tough to disagree with Law's reasoning. Vernon's 7 year/$126 million extension was considered a little over the...
Long balls and an impressive performance by Doc powers Jays passed the Royals
Halladay became the first pitcher in the Majors this year to earn his tenth victory as he pitched a complete game shutout against the Kansas City Royals. Doc's performance, which included seven hits allowed, six strikeouts and no walks was even more impressive considering he...
Finally...FINALLY the losing streak is over
It ended the same way it started, a kind of mixed up deja vu or break in the time continuum. After losing nine straight, the Jays faced Boston at home on Friday night, up against the pitcher and team who started the losing streak. There have been some analysts who have tried to...
And so it begins?
After being swept by Boston, and losing 1-0 to the Atlanta Braves last night, the long awaited fall from grace might be coming into fruition. There are many skeptics (I guess me being one of them) that think this Jays team is not for real, and were waiting for the numbers to average...
Halladay earns win 8
After two straight losses at the hands of the Yankees, it looked like the Jays were about to hit their first slump of the season. Maybe last year's edition of the Jays would have, but this year, everything is different. Following their first home series loss against the Yankees...
As Promised, a rant on AJ Burnett
In my last post, I left no doubt that I have a whole bunch of animosity left toward Mr. Burnett. Here is why...The Jays took a chance when they signed AJ Burnett in 2006 due to his history of injury problems. He missed a majority of his first two season with the Jays, posting similar...
Riccardi was wrong, he is ready...
Eight innings of work, no runs allowed, five hits and six strikeouts. No, Halladay was not on the mound when the Jays finished off the Athletics 5-0. This was the work of a rookie starter, making only his second career start. He goes by the name Brett Cecil. It boggles my mind...
Weaver dominates the Jays
A day after the Jays routed the Angels in a 13 run, 15 hit outburst, Jered Weaver held the Blue Jays to a lone run on a measly 3 hits. Weaver was fantastic in his first complete game of his career as he kept the Jays hitters off-balanced, allowing many pop-ups and weak ground balls...
Hill is the hero in a 5-4 extra inning win
After giving up an error on a straightforward ground ball that led to a Baltimore run in the 10th inning, Aaron Hill hit a tying solo home run in the bottom of the tenth and followed that with a game winning RBI single in the eleventh.The Jays have continued to show resilience this...

Greinke unstoppable
Zack Greinke continues his winning ways with an 11-3 victory over the Blue Jays. Zack pitched 7 innings allowing just 5 hits and striking out 8. He did allow his first earned run this season on an RBI single by Wells in the first, but that never really phased him and he was hitting...

The bats turn up lame in a 7-1 loss to the Royals
The Jays could only muster two hits in last night's game against the Royals,while Purcey displayed another poor effort on the mound allowing six earned in five innings. Purcey is now 0-2 with an ERA of 7.01. He has been getting into similar problems in all of his outings this...
Jays get a taste of their own medicine
The Toronto Blue Jays had a 3-game winning streak snapped with a 10-2 whipping at the hands of the Chicago White Sox. Mark Buehrle stymied the Jays, allowing only six hits and two earned runs over six innings. This came a day after the Blue Jays bats collaborated for 21 hits...
Jays lose a tight game 5-4 to the Rangers
There seems to be an air of confidence every time Roy Halladay steps on the mound. A quiet kind of confidence, but nonetheless, the kind of confidence that spreads across the field into every Blue Jay. When the Doc is pitching, the Jays know they have a chance of winning, however...
