Mid-Game Tidbits
Return of the Mac!
Tonight... I believe it was in the second inning... Alan Ashby did a magical thing... Alan Ashby gave us all boners...
But I know what you're thinking, and no... it had nothing to do with his old nickname, Buns*.
Ashby announced that the Jays and Johnny Mac are very close to coming to terms on a two-year contract extension! Boner!
Troy Glaus: Man of Brain!
I like Troy Glaus but holy shit, not only is Troy Glaus dumb enough to have steroids delivered to his fucking house (!!!), he just limped off the field in what just might be the most painfully transparent attempt to duck away from the media spotlight I've ever seen. The cynic in me would hardly be surprised if we've seen the last of Glaus until the heat dies down.
The Hinske Update!
Chuck Swirsky will now be giving us daily updates on Eric Hinske's batting average on his Fan590 radio show. I don't want to steal Chuck's thunder, but the Mighty Shitske is 5 for his last 7, raising his average to an earth shattering .222 (it had been as low as .197).
Late-Game Tidbit
Fucking fuck!
*According to Bob McCown, the nickname "Buns" was given to Ashby by the secretaries around the Jays office during the first year, when the Bobcat was the public address announcer and Ashby, of course, played for the team.

10 rational and reasonable comments:
season over.....
Not that it hasn't been over for a while now anyway. But when we do this for the second time in just a few days, you can be sure that we're fucked.
I would just like to thank you guys for getting me into Wilner. No seriously, thank you. I can't believe what I was missing before.
WORST GAME EVER!
I was at the game in Detroit, and nearly pulled out my 4 remaining hairs when Janssen blew the game. GRRRRR! VERY VERY FRUSTRATING!
The season was over long before last night.
I was watching the game with a huge Tigers fan who left my apartment at the start of the ninth in frustration.
Classic case of Gibbons managing to the stat (Halladay's complete game) instead of to common sense.
Just as an aside, what the hell was the organization thinking with that stupid logo with the bird peering out from behind the big "T"? That shit was pure bush league. Thank god they scrapped it quickly.
Dude, I understand the confusion, but that's not a bird in that picture. It's Eric Hinske.
Thanks Stoeten, I actually L O L'd there.
Was also at the game last night, I also was utterly devastated in the 9th. And for all my troubles I got punched in the head by a drunk Tigers fan for wearing Blue Jays gear.
As a fan from Windsor I got to Toronto for games a few times a year and try to go to every Jays game in Detroit. I don't know what they're record is at Comerica, but they seem to choke hard nearly everytime I've seen them there in the last 3-4 years.
Just once I'd love to be able to be a dick back to Detroit fans who I assure you are the biggest bandwagon douches on the planet.
At first, I was upset that Janssen was getting the save opportunity rather than Accardo (the latter who I have in one of my pools). Partially understandable thanks to that blown chance in TB. After two hits and a walk, I though I might see Accardo out there trying to salvage a win, and another very precious SV for my pool....not so.
On the brighter side, The JMac deal is official. I think the 'Customize a McDonald jersey' link on the Jays mlb.com page must be the busiest one on the whole site! I know I've clicked it at least 6 times!
Hey Chris,
I got heckled endlessly too after the game for wearing my Jays gear. Actually, the funniest part of the evening was when I saw a Jays fan running up the stands in the top of the 9th and he yelled "the Tigers choked worse than the Wolverines!". BURN! Too bad it didn't come true..
