well, the dream had to end sometime I guess.
Jesse Litsch looked aggressive, but you really can't do much about Miguel Cabrera. And when the Jays offense only puts up a single run against a scrub like Zach Miner (who actually looked good... whether that was the Jays or him improving remains to be seen) and the Tigers suspect bullpen, you're not going to win a lot of games.
After that first game explosion the offense has really cooled down... here's hoping they can get things on track in the last game today, before they head to Cleveland for the first road trip of the year.
Actually, I'm watching right now and both Lind and Overbay have singled, after a pretty crappy start by the rest of the order. Michael Barrett is currently taking his first hacks as a Jay. Let's watch!
annnd Barrett strikes out looking with two on and two out. Lovely. Take a hack you goon.
Ricky Romero makes his debut for the Jays today and he's not looking terrible although I shouldnt jinx the kid. So I won't. annnd Curtis Granderson just knocked an opposite field bomb. Dammit.
AL East Update
The Yankees got shelled again by the Orioles... although it was Wang pitching instead of AJ... perhaps AJ's elbow D-day will be today. Regardless, it is excellent to watch the Yanks get hammered by a team as brutal as Baltimore.
Boston lost to Tampa in the second game it what seems to be a pretty tight series. Overall, I really like both of these teams a lot more than New York. Could be an ALCS preview, although it is ridiculously early to speculate about that.
The Jays don't play any AL East teams until May. That is strange. We also don't head to the new Yankee Stadium until July. Also strange.
