Awesome extra innings win for the Jays last night. Jose Bautista hit the game winning homerun. He has been downright bionic this week! I feel bad for JoJo Reyes - he pitched well but yet again didn't earn the win. It's been something like two years since he's won a game. And it got me thinking that he's shown incredible composure for a guy who's gone 26 straight starts without a victory. So that's a positive, right? Based on the way he's pitched the last few games, he'll stop the streak soon.
I prefer Alan Ashby doing the play by play. Buck Martinez is a good colour commentary guy, but when he's doing the play by play, he becomes Captain Obvious.
That's all I got...
Here's Last Night's 3 Stars:
1. JP Arencibia - JP had a great night - going 2 for 5 with a Home Run
2. Jose Bautista - tough night at the plate, but hit the game winning HR in the 11th
3. Yunel Escobar - rough start defensively, but solid at the plate going 3 for 6
Honourable mentions go to JoJo Reyes & Nick Blackburn.
Also, isn't it more grammatically correct to say "an home run"...?

I wonder why Jo Jo just can't get a win? It seems like he's going to need a complete game plus a lot of Bautista bombs to finally get one.
