Let's Gather Round and Love Lyle

Lyle Overbay was mired in some kind of funk. Like striking out and .080 kind of funk. And the 12 Torontonians at the game on Sunday, unable to boo a restored Vernon Wells, sought a new target for booing. Mercilessly. Pitch for pitch. Fastball boo. Changeup boo. Curve boo. Slider boo and probably some sort of slurve boo, too.

But for the fan BBQ, a handful of the boys wore Overbay's shirts to support their boy who was sucking. It warmed the cockles and Lyle looked a little like he was coming around last night. Maybe he just wanted his clothes back.
