Strange How Hard it Rains Now / Rows and Rows of Big Dark Clouds / When I'm Holding On Underneath This Shroud / Rain -- Game Thread: Rays at Jays

Tampa Bay Rays at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 6, 2008 1:07 PM EDT





There aren't really any happy songs about rain that I could think of, so as the rain pours down here in D.C., courtesy of Tropical Storm Hannah, today's game thread post comes from a great and sad Patty Griffin song.  But Jays fans are anything but sad after yet another exciting win yesterday behind fine pitching by Doc Halladay and timely offense by Alex Rios and Lyle Overbay, among others. 

Greg Zaun gets the start today behind the plate, and Vernon Wells is DHing as Travis Snider gets his first start in rightfield.  Scutaro starts at SS as Shaun Marcum opposes James Shields in a battle of two fine young pitchers.  North of Steeles is making his first start for the Jays since his 2-start stint at Cuse, where he pitched well in both starts.  Let's go Jays!

I have a coupla blades of the old "grass" that they had at Tropicana Field last year.

My kid sister had a gymnastics meet in the Trop so I plucked a little from Left Field. Also tried to peg the catwalks with a baseball. I hit the C-ring somehow.

I only played one game on turf in my life

it was weird – never felt so fast in my life though. I stole three bases, somehow didn’t make an error, and then couldn’t walk right for three days because my knee was so sore

They are talking about Longoria, saying he’s probably back batting at the end of their Boston series of beginning of Yankees series. He took dry swings today, could play defense though.

yesterday i was listening to sports talk radio (admittedly, a grievous mistake). max kellerman made the claim that if you are one of the best in the game at your time you will have a championship. if you don’t have a championship, you must therefore not be the best in the game at your time.
