i hope this off day doesn't ruin the teams swag. Halladay is pitching on Tuesday, which is an auto win in my books.

Rangers are off to a bad start and this should be another series win if the offense lives up to its potential.

Hmm, that's odd, I didn't know Overbay was part black.

Yeah, apparently he's got reverse-vitiligo.

I will be going to the game on Tuesday night, my first of the season. So excited. I'd make a sign, but won't for two reasons; 1) I'm quite camera shy. 2) I don't know what to write on the sign.

Haha, maybe I should just blow up that picture to poster size and then bring it.

This is the best idea I have heard in a while.

There's probably a story behind that pic with Lyle and Mike James with that girl... but it's probably inappropriate for this board.

I want to get to an evening game soon but i'll be working an evening shift starting this week so I guess i'll have to stick with weekend games.

Whats sad is that even though the Jays are winning, people still arent coming out to support them. Very disappointing crowd so far..

The spring is always tough, and not just in Toronto. If they're still playing well (it doesn't have to be THIS well) in June and July you'll start to notice a difference. Maybe sooner since neither of our winter teams has bothered to make the playoffs.

Texas is another one of those teams that the Jays have lost some games to in recent years when the Rangers have been mediocre. I hope they can keep up the good work!

I'm also glad to see that Halladay is being kept on 4-days rest to get him in there as much as possible. I know it seems like common sense, but not every manager would do it.

I just noticed that they're not serving booze on Tuesday. FACE PALM.
