Stop Going Into Extras

So how do the Jays celebrate sweeping the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies? Drop two to the worst team in all of creation. What the fuck, boys? Were the bats held over in Philly? Stop going into extras, people.

Brett Cecil easily pitched well enough to win that game and recovered really nicely from that ugly start in Fenway.
What is going on with Vernon Wells in the field? “The ball hit my glove. When that happens, I should catch it.”

It is completely unacceptable for the Jays to not beat this team. FUCK!

Ok, a little positivity. Pigs flew and Vernon hit a homerun. Thank you. Scott Rolen, father of my awesome babies, has a 10 game hit streak going.

And I don't know if this is positive or what, but Russ Adams has been called up.

Dream pitcher-hitter match ups. Someone we know and love is mentioned. Often.

Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer: "It would be Halladay against anyone; that's how good he is. I saw [Rangers pitching coach] Mike Maddux the other day. He ran up to me and said, 'I just saw Halladay for the first time! He's unbelievable!' As for Pujols, well, I'll never forget his first spring training. Mark McGwire came up to me and said, "I can't wait for you to see this Pujols kid. He sees everything. He pays attention. He will be great.'"

Whether McGwire said "I'd like to inject something in that kids ass, give him an edge." I don't know.

Mets catcher Brian Schneider: "Halladay against Pujols. With Albert, you're just trying to limit the damage. You just want to let him beat you in the right way, without an extra-base hit. But that's so hard. Halladay has so many options. He can run that front-door slider at you, then go cutter in, or use that big curveball or his changeup. He doesn't just have five pitches, he has five plus pitches. Johan [Santana] has two great pitches. Halladay goes off you. If you take something, he goes to something else, another plus pitch."

And my favourite quote, but I hope Doc doesn't see it pre-contract talks and get any ideas.

Mets infielder Alex Cora: "Halladay against Pujols. He is such a complete pitcher. I've seen him give up four runs to us, then he ends up going nine. He has so many pitches. If the cutter isn't working, he goes with the changeup. If the changeup isn't working, he goes with the breaking ball. If that's not working, he makes something up. I used to tell Petey [Pedro Martinez] that if I was a general manager, and Roy was a free agent, I'd go over to his house, I'd give him a contract, I'd tell him to fill in a number and I'll be happy.
