in Toronto Blue Jays Game Recaps

PrintAfter the very exciting news of the Jays picking up Sean Henn off waivers (yeah I know, during the off-season teams make lots of little moves that generally don't end up meaning much), the hired former major league second baseman Mike Mordecai to be their roving Minor League infield instructor. Alex Anthopoulos isn't wasting anytime making the changes he feels the organization needs.
Anyway the game....Pedro Martinez starts for the Phillies and everyone's favorite former Jay A.J. Burnett goes for the Yankees. I won't wish for A.J.'s arm to fall right off or anything like that but I will hope he has a bad night.

Doesn't exactly sound like it was musically relevant at the time
tiffany’s version was in the 80’s and tommy james was in the 60’s (i think?). The Attack of the Killer Clowns movie wasn’t released until 2004 or something, right?
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
star wars episode ii
attack of the clones was the real name
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
that was a cover
the original was Tommy James and the Shondells
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
he's one of those guys who i dont ever remember being young
and i remember him from seemingly a while back
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
I was at a jays game and he was with the A's I think
and he was playing catch in the outfield with one of the ball boys and he was trying to show the ball boy how to throw straight over top so it didn’t curve….
hey if you can get your picture taken in those tiny bikinis ....
it will take more than me to embarrass you
wow
ibanez is not exactly known for his baserunning or glovework, but good job scoring last inning (though at least in large part thanks to Damon’s arm) and nice catch there
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
not that i know of
it comes from Ron Shandler’s Baseball Forecaster
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
oh ok, I was going to start on looking at the pitchers
and figured using that would be a useful thing
can be quickly calculated on a baseball-reference
game log. you get used to tacking on points pretty quickly
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
I figured looking at each player, one at a time
gives a bunch of posts…last off-season I had no ideas for posts on days there was no news
hahahaha
i can give you an hand with some of it, if you’d like
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
burnett's gotten a lot better at holding on runners
didn’t he pick off ichiro twice in one game earlier this season, too?
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
last three seasons
2009: 23 successful steals, 12 caught stealing
2008: 22 …………………………… 9
2007: 31 ……………………………. 0
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
posada's not much better
though jose molina is good
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
was good in the early 2000's
but Charles Johnson was marlins catcher back then, wasn’t he? i remember him being exceptionally good at throwing out runners. but maybe he was catcher before then?
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
for some reason mlb.com
does not have johnson’s SB/CS rate for 2001 and previous but in 2002 it was 37 steals and 25 CS (40%). AJ was 10 and 10 that year, so it can’t be solely due to Johnson . . . unless the other Marlins staffers were incredibly bad at holding guys on
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
Doc being a bad teammate and bad person has to be number 1!
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
I had a list at one time....
mr rogers passing, the quick start, the doc trade rumors, vernon’s season, Rios let go, eating Ryan’s contract
more imagination than me....
we have a handful of costumes that have been put together over the years….have a good fred flintstone one my wife made….
nah
i just picked it because i already have a brown jacket and I didn’t want to shave my beard
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
all that work and my daughter doesn't like big fake nails
she wants to take them off already!! Although I suppose I should be happy about this…
on the list of things women do that I don't understand....that's near the top....
I’ve never heard a guy say ‘look at the nails on that girl’
well they are Halloween ones with spiders on them
It was an experiment…she’s never tried them before and has decided she never will again. She’s currently washing off the adhesive stuff. Yeah, I don’t understand the big nails thing either
this isn't going well
i can’t believe manuel left pedro out so long
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
yankee fans giving it to pedro
it’s manuel’s fault for leaving him in so long, i can’t believe he let him come back out
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
oh sure...invite Jesse and not me!!
actually some of the stuff looked kind of good…guess I should have had supper!
nah
norm spent way too much of his time thinking about baseball and not enough banging supermodels. Jeter won’t even watch games he doesn’t play in
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
hahaha
didn’t mean to imply Jeter spends time thinking about it
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about!!
but yes, I’d think about scott…..in any way! :)
Worth looks like he is flailing away
Oh, good evening all…
