Well, it's nice to know these boys can hit. More extra base hits than singles, which must be some kind of freakish stat. John MacDonald with a double and a triple, Fred Lewis and Aaron Hill going back to back. An "oh my god, finally" Shaun Marcum win, for a guy who hasn't had a win since 2008 and could easily be 4-0 (or somewhere close to that.) this season.

I was sad and glad over the amount of Roy Halladay love that was poured on during Sunday Night Baseball. I just wish it seemed less like Toronto was puberty, something icky (inconvenient boners and acne) to go through before coming into your own and being great. Well, actually being acknowledged for coming into your own and being great.

But I must say I am very excited/impressed by this team so far. If all we can expect is growth and development, I say the first month of the season has given us that in spades. The Jays got a shout out for not folding without Doc. For whatever reason, the lows of this team seem less low. They were swept by the Sox last weekend, but barely beaten. Two one run loses and then (for variety) a 2-run loss. In the wake of the weekend sweeping by the Orioles, Boston is scrambling around. I like to call it the Curse of Manny.

There is really something to be said for low expectations.
