battle of the birds

It was a holiday weekend and I went away. I saw next to no baseball, some because I was doing other things and/or because freakin' Rogers didn't play some of the games. Nor did they show tonight's against the Orioles. So I missed AJ's semi-meltdown but still earn a win. Big boy pants were worn. And I missed Daniel Cabrera, who has a hell of an arm but might be a bit crazy (I'll never forget him one game at the Rog Mahal. He lost his command, was walking and getting smacked around. He dealt with his troubles by throwing at Hinske's head. Cause someone had to pay.)

Jays 6-Orioles 4

I do, however, get to see Steve Traschel pitch, which is the baseball equivalent of watching paint dry.

During interleague play in Philly, I did see a Philly fan sign that read "Joe Carter ruined my childhood. It's pay back time!" I forget sometimes that Joe's HR was soul crushing for people other than Mitch Williams.
