What a great weekend it was for the Blue Jays.. let's talk about it! Which one did you like more?

hyper316 · Post #2 » by **hyper316** » Sun Aug 8, 2010 8:21 pm

i'd say today's game, close 1-0 game, every inning was crucial with the ho-hitter dangling around. yesterday's game was pretty much a done game early on (even though rays scored some runs in the end)

that is too hard for me to decide.

todays performance is fresh in my mind...but 8 HRS and the debut of Arencibia was nuts! and it got Toronto coverage in the american press.

it was such a great weekend

only 8 games back of the Wild Card now

As much as I enjoyed today's pitching performance, it was heartbreaking at the end.

I guess I picked the wrong game to go to this weekend (Friday). Cecil did look great and was pretty dominant after the first inning in that game, but it would have been a lot of fun being there for Arencibia's debut and 8 total hrs by the Jays or the near no-hitter today.

2 different feels:

HR game: Giddy

1 Hitter: Intense

Their is no possible way for me to choose between the two, both were unreal in their own ways.

i agree, it's soooooooooooooo hard to decide.. but i think my decision (the 1-hitter) is a bit biased given that it's still stuck in my mind.. both are historic games for the Jays.

I enjoyed the 8 HR game and JP's historic debut more. Today was exhilarating and gut-wrenching all at once.

Not even close, the 1 hitter today. Haven't felt that way in a Jays game since 93!

Isn't it an absolute treat when there is no wrong answer?

Can't decide, both games were amazing and polar opposites of each other.

1-hitter imho, because I managed to actually be at that game :lol:

Overbay soured it though, else it would have been one of the most memorable games in franchise history

I enjoyed the feeling of being genuinely excited for our future. Been optimistic in the past, but never this excited for what lies ahead.

wow, currently a tie 6-6!! it really is a tough choice lol. but it's just for fun discussion

I'm close at both, but I have to go with Saturday's game. I was at the game and the crowd was pretty into it. It was a great game experience. Very fun.

Today's game I watched and it was more intense. So it was great, but not as fun.

Overpay! He is the bane of my existence.

This is one of the hardest decisions ever - it's like asking which World Series team you liked better - '92 or '93!

Today's game was fantastic - it was great to watch Morrow command the game with such ease; when you think about it, Yunel Escobar's baserunning was the only thing that gave Morrow the opportunity at a 9-inning complete game, let alone a no-hitter. It was a great game all the way to the last out - even the way Jose Bautista and Aaron Hill almost collided sliding for a foul-ball showed how much it meant to the team to help Morrow chase this dragon.

At the same time, I was on edge to just watch Arencibia play. When he went on to shock me at every opportunity, it was unreal. A home run on his first hit? going 4-4 in his first four at bats? All the RBI and runs scored. Going to opposite field on his second major league at bat? I was absolutely in awe, and thought there was no way he could keep the dream debut going, but he just did.

For me, it has to be yesterday's game. But after writing this out, I am certainly feeling myself waffle a little bit. Such a difficult decision.

Too close to call but I went with JPA. Just because of the anticipation of him coming up and now knowing how he'd do. Then he hits a HR on his first pitch.

Today was excellent, but I might have to go see a doctor now so that could hurt the enjoyment factor...

13-10 Morrow.

I voted for Morrow because I love well pitched games. Some of the stats I have read about Morrow's start also has me very excited about his future.
