    ARGH! That Twins game was so close! Why Lind went for the first pitch I do not know. I thought Nix should've started tonight - thoughts?

    Anything is better than what they have at third right now. Hopefully he gets cut at some point this season.

    It's a shame that they have trouble sweeping the better teams.

    yeah ... that was ridiculous ... nathan was throwing curve balls to everyone because the fast balls he threw got hammered (he was lucky JP's didn't go out of the park and Span made a great play on Escobar's hit) ... the guy walked like 3 guys ... the bases are loaded ... you have to let him at least throw strike one ...

    oh well - good start to the season tho ...

    I normally don't do this but just want to say something so that this tread is on the 1st page.

    Pitching is looking great and our hitting is great. it great that the last 2 teams last year on in 1st and second this year.

    considering no escobar or bautista in the lineup - they almost won today ... wouldn't been so bad if wasn't over a wild pitch ..

    Hopefully Escobar is alright. I know it was diagnosed as a mild concussion, but didn't they say the same thing about Hill's at first.

    Thank god we won last night. I was most concerned by that 4 game slide. Now it's off to Boston - those Red Sox are having a slow start, let's just hope we can take advantage.

    Good to see Jose get that homer. He needs to be making big shots in tight spots - which he did yesterday

    i just gotta say this ... toronto fans suck ... like real bad ... it's pretty pathetic ...

    i mean you goto boston and they can be down 5 runs in the 9th with 1 out and a guy has a 3-2 count ... they are all up cheering ...

    in toronto ... crickets ... i mean .. why bother showing up if you're only gonna cheer after something happens ...

    nice comeback over yanks last nite tho

    Btw what are your thoughts regarding Snider being sent to AAA. I think that was a silly decision tbh. He had a bad start but I think he would've bounced back

    he's looked awful ... i trust AA in his decision ... giving a guy like cooper some major league at bats will help ...

    i love the aggressive running game but we must be on pace to have the most guys picked off ... also, the other frustrating thing is the walks this team gives up ...

    anyhoo - i should keep my expectations in check ... they are probably a .500 team at best this year ..

    Another sweep! Jose right now is looking like the best player in the world. 3 homeruns in the game last night. Lind is also looking great and we need to continue to play well as i sense pitchers are going to start pitching around him.

    I have to admit that i am shocked at how the east is playing right now but i hope it continues that way and maybe my prediction of the jays in the playoffs might come true.

    While this past weekend was great for the jays, let's not forget who they were playing...

    And yes, Bautista is a pimp.

    Hopefully it won't take Lind long to get his timing back. He was on a tear before he went down with that back problem.

    from all reports he should be back soon. I see alot of upside to this team this year. NY is looking older than than they really are which is hard to do. the key i think is to make sure the players in the 4,5,6 positions keep hitting some what or Jose is going to get pitch around.
