It'd be nice to make something happen here in the ninth for the sell-out crowd. Offense has been a no-show tonight.

I'm just delighted that the turf hasn't cut anyone to ribbons. Yet.

Cincinnati
Toronto

Am I missing anyone?

Kauffman's turf era might well be the low point of human civilization. Beautiful park in a place with no shortage of summer sun, and it spent two decades with knee-wrenching green concrete.

I only caught the top of the 9th but Cecil looked sharp in his inning of work. His injury has been underplayed this Spring but we really can't afford him on the shelf at all this year.

The Jays take these Montreal games way too seriously. Edwin playing the field, Reyes and Martin playing day after night, etc. Just give Montreal a team so the Jays can stop kissing their asses for one spring.

(yes, I'm still worried that someone will slip on some snow or turf before Monday)

I'm fine with it. They have to play on turf 81 games a year and they're starting a season on Monday. Two proper games to get them in the groove of things.

Why does it always seem like an inordinate number of Jays get hit in the hand?

Cameraman is in spring training form missing Bautista getting thrown out at 3rd.

Because we only watch Jays games?

I was at the game, I took my little brother. So great to see the Jays live and Perez, Alomar, and Cito too. It was buzzing. So much fun. See you all next years, guys!

Oh, as for the stadium, I learned yesterday that the roof can only handle up to 3 cm of snowfall. It more than that is projected, they would cancel the game die to safety concerns. Three centimetres, no typo.
