Play Ball!
The season hasn't begun yet for the Toronto Blue Jays, and they're already facing an uphill battle. The Jays fell to .5 games behind the American League East leader earlier this morning when the Boston Red Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 6-5 in ten innings.
The first game of the season, played in Tokyo before over 44,000 fans, was decided in the top of the tenth when Manny Ramirez hit a two-run double to deep centre field. Fittingly, Japanese reliever Hideki Okajima got the victory.
The Bostons and Oaklands go at it again tomorrow morning to complete their opening series in Japan.

The Jays are really going to miss Reed Johnson's heart and grit when they attempt to overcome this nearly insurmountable lead in the AL East.
At least they're ahead of Oakland for the wildcard.
Tied for last in the division? Rolen and Ryan and Janssen out? Fuck this, it's time for the Jays to become sellers. Grow some stones JP, let's play for next year.
Are you kidding? This is the closest the Jays have been to a playoff spot in a long time!
Only a half game out of first? JP for President!
Damn you Huston Street, you may have just cost the Jays the pennant
