Hey. I'm here.

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

No one is here, so I'm off to Bluebird Banter.

Other than that ‘greeting’, it was very nice over there. I’m sort of lazy to check the Jays blog. Canada is a weird place. :)

Because he's so damn tall?

Or because you may be short? Either way, I don’t see how your height comparisons have to do with anything.

Wakefield's performance over the last 2 outings IS----

THE DEFINITION OF CHAOS! How can a team count on such a performer?

I would think that to manage him properly you should be ready to yank him on very short notice, at least until the 4th inning or so. How can you explain such a heinous outing followed by such a great one?? Divine intervention or preference??

Cash = momentum killer

He came up with two guys on base, and now there’s none. That’s not a momentum index we can believe in.

Manny ain't the only bad man.

Momentum HATES the 3-run homers and shutouts

We’re way better with Dice-K going big 4 innings, allowing 3 runs with 11 baserunners.
