agreed I had the game on and after the tigers score 32 runs in the third or whatever the hell happened I went and got grocereies and just left the tv on all day but we just kept coming, if that glaus ball drops in then it's our game, reassuring that we have this kind of punch though

I thought we had the right guy up in the nineth with reed johnson, he comes through in the clutch, but not today.

for sure the one concern I have about reed is that he might burn out playing everyday, like the last month or two of the year he dropped off a bit and I think it's because he's been sort of a platoon guy for most of his career, maybe he's over it by now we'll see in august/september. The thing I like about this team (last years as well but more this years) is that as cliche as it sounds we're never out of it, look at today, makes things worth watching

So I take it AJ had a melt down in third ......Hopefully it didn't shake his confidence too much....On the positive side it was nice to see the Jays put up seven runs against the Tiger bullpen!!! Now lets start the year off with a series win by winning tomorrow!!!

Yeah according to TSN.ca it's been rescedualled for sept.10 or something, I got excited because I was hoping it would be like a 2-3 rain delary and I wouldn't miss it while in class but instead I just miss it anyways and have to still go to class.

That does suck, a little snow doesn't hurt anybody, it would add to the game.

Sound more like hockey wether than basball weather in Motown

The Toronto Blue Jays' road game scheduled for Thursday afternoon against the Detroit Tigers has been postponed because of cold weather.

Toronto's Troy Glaus drove in the winning run in the Blue Jays' season opener on Monday.
(Mike Carlson/Associated Press)
The game will be made up on Sept. 10 at 7:05 p.m. ET.

Toronto and Detroit split the opening two games of their season-opening three-game series.

The defending American League champion Tigers shelled the Blue Jays for eight runs in the third inning, sending starting pitcher A.J. Burnett to the showers early, en route to a 10-9 win Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park.

Troy Glaus's bases-loaded single with one out in the 10th inning paved the way for a 5-3 Blue Jays win over the hometown Tigers in the season opener for both teams Monday.

Toronto was going to send left-hander Gustavo Chacin to the mound Thursday, while Detroit was scheduled to start Justin Verlander, last season's rookie of the year in the American League.

The Jays open a three-game series Friday in Tampa Bay against the Devils Rays before returning to Toronto for their home opener on April 9 against the Kansas City Royals.

thinking about the other thread going on somewhere on here about the scoring and errors vs. earned and unearned runs, I wonder what the rules say about an outfielder losing the ball in the snow and turning a single into a triple, is that the pithcers responsibility?

UPDATE: The Jays-Tigers game scheduled for today was postponed due to cold weather.

LOL, i remember seeing the blue jays playing in snow before, what a stupid reason for cancelling a game, in my opinion.

smarchee

well, it's not just the players they consider when calling a game in this type of weather, it's also the playing customer. I doubt the crowd today will be close to what it was yesterday, and that was very sparse. It's freezing today in Windsor, I wouldn't want to be outside for long. I can totally understand why they called it.

Plus, now I might have a chance to go see them in September when they come back for the rescheduled game, sweet

kenshunt

ya i can see it, but i don't think it's that cold in London -6 C so i think i could play in that weather or watch.

mrwalkerb

Man the more I watch this team the more I believe, I went upstairs hoping reed could get one or single in one or two and come down to see him rounding third. go jays

kenshunt

well at least i can smile for one toronto team

uninnocent

anyone else going to the home opener?

Well A.J just needs to trust his fastball a little more and then use his off speed pitches to get batters out.
