The Curse of Joe Carter
Apologies for the late post. Is it just me, or did the Jays try about 45 different ways to lose last night? Leaving tons of men on base, wasting a quality start, base running mistakes, pitchers hitting (and then landing on the DL. Damn it, Scott Downs, don't run out of the box. Fuck the NL), J-Mac hitting. I started to hate this team last night. Like aggressive Red Sox fan style anger. The only thing that saved us was the Carter Curse, which manifested itself in a slump busting infield single for VDub. And apparently, Scott Rolen likes to be booed.
And just to add to the fun, Halladay and Janssen join Downs on the DL. George Poulis, handler of Doc's groin, was named to the All-Star team.
My friend Ian sent me this message via Facebook today, and I think it's on the nose.
"Did you see the game last night? WTF is Cito doing? Why on earth did he let Downs hit in the 10th with a 5 run lead? He's out for 1 game but he could have broken something and be gone for the year! WTF? Do you remember that blow out in the World Series '93 where Cito let his pitcher hit in the middle of rally? A game which they came back to win and set a record WS comeback. After the game Cito said he was thinking about the next game ––basically admitting he had given up on a game that his team came back to win. Cito dropped his pants to the world that night and from that moment I have had huge doubts about Cito and if he understands the pitching side of the game at all. This year we learned he doesn't talk to pitchers unless they're named Roy Halladay!"
