Shame it's on the holiday weekend, but I'll do my best to get out to the park.

I need to post this somewhere.
According Greg Brady (in the morning show today that I caught briefly), a 35 year old carlos beltran is better than Jose Bautista (He didn't say this explicitly but implied it.) One of the reasons being, Beltran can hit for better average. I **** you not, Sometimes I feel like reaching through the radio and punch one of these FAN 590 hosts. The amount of ignorance regarding baseball is truly astounding.

I have a solution for you: no more fan590. I hadn't listened in 5 years, but I started commuting by car again about 3 months ago and I can't go back to listening to them. I tried it out when I started and they're all morons. Now, I still turn it on when something big happens; I turned it on yesterday for the Rasmus talk, but for day-to-day it's simply too (Please Use More Appropriate Word) to pay attention to.

Escobar SS
Rasmus CF
Bautista RF
Lind LF
Lawrie 3B
Thames DF
Arencibia C
Snider LF
McDonald/Hill 2B

Tough pitching matchups for the Jays there.

Hopefully Rasmus, Bautista, and Lind come to play today. They were a combined 1 for 14 last night, but we still scored 8 runs :)

Just proves how balanced our offense can be. Imagine our team on a night when everyone's on. We can deal damage anywhere in the order excluding wherever Hill is batting.

Ogando made all three of those guys look bad there, not just Rasmus. He's a pretty damn good pitcher.

One thing I wonder every time I listen to Gord Stellick is: How did he ever become the GM of the Leafs?

Hill is just a hack at this point. JMac, please.
