Then Arencibia inexplicably called for Frasor's split changeup and rather than getting down to block the ball in the dirt where it usually goes, came up out of his crouch way too early on the strikeout, allowing the tying run to score and Crisp to reach 1st on the wild pitch. Frasor then struck out Daric Barton for what should've been the final out of the inning. Tough day for J.P. Arencibia. He's been very impressive defensively on the whole so far though. Great day for my surnamesake Conor Jackson: play of the game on the diving catch in RF and an RBI single to score Crisp from third (after Crisp stole 2nd and 3rd off JPA) with what turned out to be the game winning run. Still say the Athletics have 1 too many outfielders on the roster, but Crisp, Jackson, and Willingham all had very good series. This series could've been a sweep for either team, in the battle of the two youngest rotations in the game. Too bad the Jays couldn't pull off the sweep on the 34th anniversary of their first game on a snowy day in April, 1977. That day probably sealed the building of the SkyDome (now Rogers Centre: or the Cable Box as the locals call it), as all the dignitary politicians sat there freezing their asses off on metal seats (except the cheap seats, which were plastic, but the high-fallutin' types can't sit with the unwashed masses damn it).Quote:

If he can bump his K-rate up (and he showed a strong one in the minors, so it's certainly possible), he'll be an ace.Quote:

Oh well, Bautista will be back on Friday, and although I think he's a better fit at 3B given the current personnel, having two strong arms at the corner outfield positions isn't a bad thing, and EE is definitely not as bad defensively at 3B as he's looked so far. Get ready President. We're comin' for ya. Actually, I'm betting the Jays will lay a gigantic turd on this road trip because it's a f***ing brutal road trip criss-crossing North America. Angels, then Mariners, then Red Sox (just in time for them to not suck anymore). Hello Air Miles! F***.Quote:

I got the MLB extra innings package for the first time this year. A week into the season and I already can't imagine my life without it.
Vladdy is owning tonight.
....And we won a much needed game against a powerful pitcher. I have been pretty down so far this year in regards to the Nats (and mostly their bullpen) but they thankfully pulled one out against the hated Fish! And the 'pen looked good doing it!Quote:

Yeah, I get it Riggs...last year the pen looked good and the starters were dismal (especially in April), but that was last year! Lets let the starters pitch until they start to lose command (when they have shown to have it for most of the game), then go to the pen. How 'bout that, huh?
