PLAYOFFS

162-0 baby!

Some thoughts from the first two games...

• Roy is still Roy.
• We're winning (yes I realize it's two games. Get your own blog!) even without major contributions from Vernon and Rios. Hopefully they'll get it together and we'll be nasty.
• Rolen's new swing appears to be working. His bomb tonight was a tape-measure shot.
• Aaron Hill is back.
• Snider is looking good and not at all nervous.
• Purcey looked awesome until his throwing gaffs.
• BJ was touching 89 on the gun, not the 84-87 reported from Spring Training. Still not great for a closer and he DID blow the save... but Brandon Inge is now on pace for 162 bombs. You can't fight fate. Brandon Inge for single season home run king.

anyways, the Jays are in first and in the words of a mad scientist who was trying to build the perfect beast, "don't look back, you can never look back." He also thought he knew what love was.. but screw it.

AL EAST UPDATE

The Yankees got destroyed by goddamn Baltimore. CC Sabathia earned every cent of his first game paycheque, giving up 8 runs, walking 5 and chucking not one but TWO wild pitches. and his next start is at Yankee Stadium. Lovely. I am giddy like a schoolgirl. My hovercraft is full of eels. Here's to AJ blowing out his elbow tomorrow.

BoSox beat the Rays in a solid 5-3 game... Beckett looked dirty and Papelbon snagged his first save of the year. The Red Sox pitching staff is looking really disgustingly good and will probably carry them to the AL East title. They could use a bit more pop in that lineup, although today they got a homerun from the walking corpse that is Jason fucking Varitek.. so maybe he's all HGH'd up and going to help the cause from the nine hole. Or maybe he'll retire by June. Regardless they're probably going to steal Cabrera, the lone Tiger who's looked consistently good against the Jays. Horseplop.
