Day 2 of No Jays

If I was a Padres fan, I'd be pretty pissed. Matt Holliday, who is many kinds of MVP fun, slid home in dramatic fashion, in the bottom of the 13th, ending an epic battle of tie-breaking regular season ending wildcardness. Holliday scraped his chin belly-sliding and seemed a little dazed as his teammates swarmed him and the Denver fans went mental. First Playoffs since 1995! WOOO!

Except, it seems Holliday was so dazed he forgot to touch home plate. Michael Barrett (who I believe was traded in a straightjacket by the Cubs) did a pretty awesome job blocking that plate, got a hold of the loose ball and tagged Holliday's MVP ass out. But the call had already been made and the ump probably misplaced his balls.



Trevor Hoffman, though he blew the save, still has awesome hair.



And I've pretty much decided that the Jays could've beat either of these teams.
