Let's keep spoiling the Blue Jays' (and Yankees' eventually) seasons. These two should be fully contending right now but their rosters are sputtering along. Season would be a success to me if we keep spoiling.

Gosh, I hate pictures of dead birds, even those who are definitely not my favorites, like the noisy and pugnacious Blue Jay.
I would like the Sox to win a game, though, even though they have driven our resident poet to (an admittedly very nice) haiku.
Geaux, Sox, willya?

Thursday's try was a dimmer trick.

I'll try (with semi-high I Q)
to shake things up with my Haiku.

One of my favorite birds.... sure they're a bit obnoxious and aggressive but they're pretty striking.

Blue Jays are by far the most annoying of the MLB birds (IRL).
I’ll take an Oriole over a Blue Jay any day.

Watching the Marlin lineup and now the Blue Jays, and occasionally glancing over at teams like the Braves, it sometimes feels we are playing in a different league.

Despite that fact that we are still technically in the wolf card race, it’s just a depressing comparison.

Then again, there are teams like the Padres who are performing worse despite looking like a stacked team, so maybe being middle of the pack with our makeup should be viewed more positively.

Would love a two-strike bunt here. If he keeps it fair and gets it by the pitcher on the third base side, he can walk to first.

Somebody tell me the pretty #s for when the Sox score first! And by the way, isn't it sad that the site goes down just when we have something to be happy together about?
