Weekend of Suck: Jays Drop Series in Cleveland

Martin's forearm looks fantastic there....wait, what? Oh, right. 

That was an extremely irritating weekend of baseball. Leads in all three, one win. Could've easily been a sweep. Wasn't. 

The basic issue was that the Jays pitched brilliantly but let the Indians hang around too much because there was no big knock to keep them down. It's the offense. The non-balk call, the random strike calls and the walk off inside the park homerun were all just background noise. 

Also, Cleveland milked the hell out of that walk off homer on Friday. I mean, you guys just won the NBA Championship. This was an interesting win in August which just didn't mean that much. They re-aired it on TV in Cleveland today.

Settle down. 

Aaron Sanchez was sent down to Single A Dunedin as part of the plan to limit his innings and workload. It's the right move.

John Lott has the details. 

From Sanchez himself:

"It sounded sincere." What did we do to deserve John Lott writing about our team of choice? 

Stoeten covered the Twitter reaction, which was idiotic.

Seriously, settle down.


What else happened today? 

Apropos of nothing, here is a link to free sexual health clinics by Toronto Public Health. If you are sexually active, regular testing is important because some STIs are asymptomatic for some members of the population.  

If you aren't in the GTA, most communities have similar clinics run by the municipal health department. Just Google. 

That's my PSA.
