Tonight, I walked into the house and it smelled like the holidays. My wife decided to cook a tofurky and all the fixins (potatoes, turnips, stuffing). So I had no choice other than to watch the Jays game that I had been recording on the ol’ PVR. I managed to avoid any and all Twitter and Facebook updates just to have the pleasure of watching a ball game untainted by the knowledge of the final score.
After watching the pre-game show, I’m noticing that the folks at Rogers Sportsnet are dressing Greg Zaun up to look like Don Cherry. The only difference between the two are that Zaun actually offers relevant commentary on the game.
Please note that you are now witnessing an MVP season by Jose Bautista. Assuming he keeps up this pace, there’s no reason for the mainstream media to snub him two years in a row. He hit a home run tonight, singled and walked twice. Even when he made a bad decision and attempted to steal 2nd in the 6th inning, it still resulted in a run scored after a horrid throw by Yankee pitcher David Robertson.
Q - The difference between good defense and a broken face?
A – About an inch and a half…
Ricky Romero pitched well. He lasted 6 innings, struck out 7 and pitched himself out of a jam (Remember when Edwin Encarnacion could have ended it on a triple play by throwing an accurate throw to 2nd…?)
Also, Robinson Cano is good…
