Davis, EE, Yunel, Morrow, etc. I know injuries are a part of the game, and so on, but seriously. It's been an odd start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-548553232271064982011-04-18T14:37:37.259-04:002011-04-18T14:37:37.259-04:00No more goddamn hashtag jokes on your Twitter feed...No more goddamn hashtag jokes on your Twitter feed.

Yes, sometimes a pitcher has stuff that is simply impossible to hit, but Weaver, Beckett and Lester all had spots in those games where they could have been gotten to, so to speak.<br /><br />The Jays offense, so far this year, has not been stellar, but its still early.Hurleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-3811093826733480772011-04-17T11:24:18.447-04:002011-04-17T11:24:18.447-04:00The past week and a half we have run in to a few p...The past week and a half we have run in to a few power pitchers that are hard to get any hits off of.

Captures a lot of the confusion amongst the faithful.<br /><br />You couch everything you say so much, though, that I am going to go ahead and diagnose you as either bi-polar or having dis-associative identity disorder. I can do this because I used to watch a lot of daytime talk shows.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10912862811538785600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-70477182444582762992011-04-17T07:09:33.328-04:002011-04-17T07:09:33.328-04:00I know RBI's are looked down upon these days, ...I know RBI's are looked down upon these days, but Snider does have 10 so far...that's not bad at all.

All I've heard about him coming up since being drafted, and Alan Ashby has been very high on him coming into this season, which means a lot, however, he's only ever been hot once... Not to sound negative but I fear we have a Nick Markakis or Alex Rios (in TO, anyway) on our hands.
