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

    Pretty much ... I think the guy is a bit young, and he loses focus a bit too easily. A little maturity and experience and he'll be a solid starter.

    I like AJ. I just don't like the pitch calling they give him throughout the game. He shows he has the stuff and as the first start this season showed he can show up without the stuff too. I find he and Carpenter seem to lose too many one run ballgames.

    Ohka looked good the other day.

    Agreeded on Ohka I only got to see AJ pitch like 2-3 times last year because of when I was working and teh Oilers playoff run meant I missed lots of baseball with this great exscuse to get drunk. I don't really have much of an opinion on him with that in mind but when he is one he can deal. let's hope this is one of those nights. less than 3 hrs till gametime

    I like AJ too ... What I don't like are commentators like Jeff Passan who seem to think that the AL East is a two-team playground. "Can Halladay still be effective?" ... Of course he can. Quit fantasizing about Dice K and admit that another team MIGHT just have a shot in this division.

    I think the Jays are way better than people give them credit for, Halladay might not have the pure numbers that the other guys do but he does something better than almost anyone in baseball and that is pitch deep consistantly, seems every game he never leaves before the 7th.

    I just hope Roy doesn't get hurt down the stretch like the last couple of years.

    Well I think Towers looked alright yesterday I mean he gave up a lot of hits but pretty much every one that I saw was on a 2 stroike count so he wasn't all over besides the D didn't help him any.way different story if Glaus fly to deep deep left and stairs shot to deep deep right had an extra 5 feet on them because it would have been a 6-5 game in teh 8th and I think we would have pulled it out, have to give props to Grienke because he pitched great though, either way back on the horse tonight

    Freakin' hell ... Towers needed the offense to help out last night and they weren't there. And yeah, Grienke is a good pitcher, for sure.

    I felt for him though because like as soon as someone got on base the crowd was all over him, which is so unfair I mean even forgetting last year he had 9 days off, what do you excpect?

    Better game last night, no?
    Glaus is on fire this year, even with yet another injury.

    Chacin was great and the pen held on, offence left a whole lot to be desired, going to be along season for this kid if the sox don't show up on offence any time he pitches.

    2-1 Jays, Rios just homered.
    Finally, too ... The Jays were making Tavarez look way too good.

    Fuck

    so much for our savior, and so much for Doc going 3-0, I really though that our pen was better than last years which cost him so many wins last year.

    I believe if the players J.P. brought in play like they should we can finally compete for the east title, or least the wild card.

    Any thoughts, good or bad?

    Yeah to quote Terence and Philip.....Blame Canada.
