Spoiler
Sometimes I wish Jim Leyland was the Jays' manager.
“I think guys are a little too casual around here. They need to step it up. We need to play better, pitch better, hit better and shut some people down.”
Word. Can we get some t-shirts printed with that on it? And, just a reminder, Jim Leyland is younger than Cito.
But now, as Brian Tallet said, “This is great for our team, because we get a chance to play spoiler. That's a bonus for us.”
Yeah, I know, every spring a team comes together and says "Gee, I hope we get to play spoiler to teams who are going to the playoffs. The same teams we kicked the shit out of in the first half of the season. Yay team!" Bonus.
A brief ode to one named Jeter.
Derek, lover of many a model and movie star, solidified his spot in Yankee history by passing Lou Gehrig's hit total. He is now the hittingest Yankee of all time. Naturally, he did it with one of the bloody inside out swings that makes me want to kick his knees when he does it against the Jays.
Let's give it up. Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig and Jeter.

Mazel tov, Jeets.
I picked the above pic because it was taken moments after AJ gave up a grand slam to Brian Roberts. And well, as it is my day of birth, I decided to gift myself.
