Five Days of Blue Jays
The following things happened over the last five days.
Russell Martin his a walk off base hit. Pictures of Russell Martin that didn't include his face were still enjoyed by many. People talked about his moustache.
Martin himself had this to say for himself:
We'll get through this together.
Someone said he looked like a bad cop. And I thought of this movie. You can conjugate it, too.
On the subject of Quebec awesomeness, I discovered that Jacques Doucet has his own blog linked on the official Jays site. It's in French, naturally.
Here here he is saying goodbye while calling the last Expos game. There is no need to translate the emotion in his voice. It's heavy and it's beautiful. I cried.
This girl went to her first game of the season. Edwin Encarnacion celebrated by hitting six RBIs. He tied George Bell for Blue Jays homers.
This was his reaction being told he was on the verge.
Yaisel Puig came to Toronto. Did Toronto things.
Caught a big fish.
Climbed the Tower.
Was nice to a child.
Was perplexed by a knuckleball.
Went to the aquarium.
Talked to Toronto legend Morgan Campbell.
Morgan Campbell wrote about the Dodgers' investment in Cuba.
Kevin Pillar was a beast.
He is batting .373 (25-for-67) since April 17, a span of 18 games. Nine of those hits were for extra bases, which included seven doubles and two homers.
Clayton Kershaw Clayton Kershawed on Saturday.
Bartolo Colon hit a homer. And the world rejoiced.
Marco Estrada was amazing. And the bullpen blew it. Again.
