Icarus


Did we fly too close to the sun with our wax wings? Why the hell can they not get three outs in the late innings? Clarence says, "Someday. Somewhere." I didn't see the last two games as I was out of town, but it seems I missed some things. Gregg freaking out at the ump over balls and strikes (were they strikes?), Pena getting called out on strikes looking after asking for time out, a Carl Crawford grand slam off Scott Downs, effectively making a rather close game a shit storm.

Noose tying fact of the day: The Jays had the lead in 25 of the 27 innings against Tampa. Yet lost the series 2-1. Maybe to look on the bright side, it is somewhat impressive that it was that dominant. But yes, soul crushing. Perhaps not as soul crushing as losing a perfect game with a blown call at first, but yeah, crushing.
