PrintToronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees, Jul 5, 2009 1:05 PM EDT
So another day, another starter on the DL. This is getting beyond where it is a joke. Has every starter on the team been on the DL at some point this year? So Brett Cecil starts today. Should be an interesting game again, hopefully with a better ending than the last two.
Richard Griffin has a piece about Aaron Hill's bunt last night. Apparently he did it on his own. I'm not a big fan of that.If the manager has you bunt, that's one thing. If he doesn't, maybe there is a reason for it. Maybe he doesn't want to take the bat out of Adam Lind's hands.
"(Manager Cito Gaston) comes to me every day and says, `Look, swing it. We don't want you to do that.' Obviously in certain situations ... I look back on the (Phillies game) and I should have done it myself. Those are situations – I know they're not going to come up very often – in a big game like that to move the runner.
It guess a little mutiny is a good thing but I really think players should leave managing to the manager.
We get treated to David Dellucci and Raul Chavez at the bottom of the order again.
The title's from John Lennon's song New York City, not one of his better efforts but they can't all be Imagine.

Looking forward...
to more fly balls home runs.
God damn Yankees.
A Toronto sports blog, where unabashed homerism is alive and well...
PLAYOFFS!!!!1
Block voting probably denies Hill a deserved all-star appearance.
Pedroia got in.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Red Sox Nation and such.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Does it make more sense as "bloc"?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Basically, getting single issue voters to vote on the whole thing
In this case, the single issue is a specific team’s players.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
i block voted the Jays' lineup
multiple times
I mostly voted the AL on merit
and the NL on anti-merit.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
so anyone think that it is something cito is doing that is causing all the injuries?
his rep last time round was someone that overworked pitchers but I think he’s been fine with them this time
i do not think Richmond, Janssen, Litsch were due to overuse
i think the Halladay tweak was due to overuse
i do think that ball players generally, need to work on their physical fitness more
there is a video on the Jays site that shows Lind and (Accardo, I think) in the weight room … they are talking about the best giveaways … anyhow .. they do not look that super fit to me … i see plenty of folks at the gym, who are not pro athletes, that look more developed
Nice tag Chavez
tagging with the glove while holding the ball in his other hand.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Cecil does not have his low 90s speed
that he was showing early on
This was getting too painfull
thank goodness its over.

And a good morning to you too sir.
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Bad cold, kids have a friend over
had to cook breakfast, and the Jays are on a skid…overall I was hoping this game would improve my mood…
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
And how r things with you?
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
We usually toss them outside at that point
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Wow that was a stellar move...
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
well, the Jays have not been tearing it up at the plate lately, so they probably need to create runs anyway possible … sometimes you get caught
I don't think the pitcher even started his wind up
when wells took off…
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
He must have been timing him rather than going off a specific move.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I thought Pedroia was the 2nd base all-star
is he 2nd tier or something
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Yes
There’s 33 players on each team.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I could not find
the complete list on MLB.com? Is the whole roster named?
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
I think they can't put the whole list up until after TBS's selection show finishes.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Cecil having trouble finding the strike zone
He seems all over the place. This was supposed to be a quick inning.
Okay, how broken is the all-star selection system
where only one of Lind, Peña, and Kinsler is going to make it?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I can't believe the bases are loaded again
This is going to be a long day
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Please don't let Brett see the third inning
Get someone throwing now. Anyone. Please.
/end kneejerk reactionaryism
Still no one warming in the pen
Cecil isn’t giving me any reason to think he is going to settle down.
have you heard the expression?
“good experience” is what people rationalize when they do not get what they really want?
Seems like winning the game would be a better experience
than getting knocked around for 2 innings.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
"Good Experience" is kinda like
says suck it up cupcake
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
I would really love to have
a mic on the cater during these mound meetings
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
that should be catcher
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
If he has to cover his mouth so the other team can't read his lips
I think broadcasting his words would be right out.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Time delay
almost anything they are talking about is outdated after 2 minutes anyway
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
they could show it later.....
I always wonder about that glove over the month. Do a lot of MLB team employ lip readers?
Is there any point risking it?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I bet they would be using directional mic's
lip reading is low tech,
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
If the other manager
doesn’t have a pretty darn good idea what the conversation is about anyway, he shouldn’t be on the bench. Its not like pulling a sneek play in football, the funny stuff is hand signals anyway.
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
i would like to have a mic on Scutaro
he is always chirping it up out there with the infielders when he is running or the baserunners when he is at short stop
Chavez might not be fast...
but he sure as hell gives it his all. ‘cept that one time he turned around at first base. but i’ll ignore that
wow, Chavez must have got ahuge jump there
he seemed to cross early
Adam Bomb!
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I think that was stadium aided
but live by the sword, die by the sword.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
3 taters for the jays so far in bronx
who siad not homers ?
Wow, prayer does work !!!!
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Well, Carm is sacrificing something on the BBQ
I’ll ask her for help
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Carm likes hockey puck well done
It drives me nuts. Of course our current BBQ makes it pretty hard to cook anything properly.
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
no helping some people....
my mother in law is like that…we got nice steak…cooked them great. had to put her’s back on….we were all finished before her’s was burnt enough. then she puts ketchup on it.
its sad.
my son likes his medium, with BBQ sauce and then he has a whole bottle of ketchup on the side
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
An intervention may be necessary
I at least got the kids liking medium to medium-rare. It used to drive Carm nuts.
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
That's a little much.
I’m a medium guy, but I can handle a little more done. Charcoal though? No thanks.
Just take charge there Tom
start the BBQ and just go with it!!!
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
the game will be over long before then
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Dead but still bleading.
As long as it doesn’t scream when poked with a fork :)
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
YES!
And the Yankees commentators were just talking about those idiot Jays fans who dressed up like umpires and made idiots of themselves. LOL
I have written him in, 75 times I think
but I will vote again, cuz he is AWESOME
anyone know basketball here?
how does the pickup up Turkoglu impact the Raptors’ competitiveness?
Its not possible for the Raptor's to be competative
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Why is Cecil still in there
Why oh Why oh Why. We just got back into the game. Good grief, Cito is handing it right back to them.
This is Cecil vs Cano
And Cecil vs Cabrera
Sorry to beat a horse to death.. but YERGH! Nice K of Ransom, but he’s at 80 pitches now, let that be enough. No Cecil in the 4th!
Now would be a good time for Dellucci to get a hit
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Because we don't want ass prints on our door
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
in the yankees office
when they decide whether or not to play A-rod do they say:
“Should we play A-rod”
“No, let’s hold him for Ransom”
LOL
boooooooooooo - ssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Way to go Scooter!!!
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
not the Cleveland Indians
but definitely a strong showing
Awsome hit HILL!!
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
I think his pitch count is likely to get him pulled
no matter how well he pitches from here on out
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Just got back from a bike ride
looking good gentlemen
wooo!
what a great time to get back into DC and turn on the TV

well
I deserve it, since I’ve watched the last two games in NYC pubs

Good timing
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
RBI double please
than we can leave Cecil in with more comfort
unfortunately, have to run again
must restock the kitchen for the week ahead. let’s go Jays!

Shhhh. Carm might be reading...
Actually, when its just me and the kids we usually cook most nights. Of course every dinner is cooked on the BBQ.
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
I typically make things that Carm would hate
but the kids and I love.
Meals tend to be a bit protein heavy, but tasty.
Thank God for Costco, everything is twice as large as any human needs…and just the right size for growing kids
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Excellent at bat
this game could be a real confidence builder for the Jays
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
Probably the first reliever
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Although I think there's official scorer's judgment.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Thx
Seems funny that the middle reliever who maybe pitches the 5th and 6th gets the win, even if Cecil leaves the game after 4 with the win.
Ya, but we still expect the starter to go 6 or 7
Gone before the 5th is not good, particularly at this stage in the season.
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
I hate this stupid stadium
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Oh @#!!%^&*^&%$#
This is not good.
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
stuck in an infinite voting loop
on Blue jays .com
After four innings
We have 8 runs and 10 hits.
And we are leading by just one run.
What a nutty game.
C'mon Dellucci, get a hit.
You remember how to hit, don’t you? You just put your lips together and blow.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Did we trade for him
or just picked up after being released by his previous team?
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
The latter
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Maybe that is a reason we should have left him alone
getting something for free is not always worth anything
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
time to go sifting through the pile of other discarded MLB players
i think
in the interim .. give Delli a couple more games … it took him awhile to get going in PCL
Yeah, his good sounding lazy fly balls would be refreshing.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I still pin this on Dellucci
Raul has two doubles this game so he can be forgiven. But Dell needs to make contact with that ball and put it in play.
we have 8 runs and I still have the feeling it's going to end poorly....
I’ve become a true jays fan
i noticed
tthat Yanks stadium stole the London bells sound from (they play when they hit a tater) from the Ottawa Senators (not that the Sens have that copyrighted)
I wonder how many innings we have in the pen tonight...
accardo pitched the last two games, camp,, did 3 yesterday….
As a closer Ryan didn't get called for balks for not stopping because he hardly ever threw over
As a middle reliever he’s throwing over… are they going to start calling it?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Like tomorrow...
Cito seems to have too much faith in some people
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
BJ looks like he doesn't have confidence in himself
its hard for the manager to have some when you don’t project an aura
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
BJ was ok one inning today
but that is all he is good for … so really it was a mistake leaving him in longer
Yeah, he was behind in the count when that happened.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
people complain about Boo's contract more...
while bad at least he has his moments. i think Ryan’s is worse at this point
BJ stats from Bastian
B.J. Ryan’s last 6 outings for the Jays have included 8 walks, 3 runs and 2 homers over 4.1 IP.
hes really earning that money
hey,
were those yanks fan yelling “Blue Jays suck”
What are the Yankee fans screaming that sucks?
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
They're yelling "Hip hip Jorge"
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I just get the feeling even if we manage another comeback we don't have the pitching to hold onto it
Frasor is available
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
One of Brandon Jekyll and Brandon Hyde
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
If I'm a Yankees fan
I’m pissed at Posada. There is no need for him to try for home there. A rookie pitcher, a team that is struggling, a wacky game of errors and tons of scoring… why rush home?
At any rate, the top of our order is up. Time to capitalize.
"How many times have we said this?"
You’re the ones with the stats guy.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
After the inning he just had
I don’t want another from him.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
We only have to worry about the 9th if we take the lead
so we’d better keep it close.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
with BJ clones filling the pen??
"Baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything." ~ Toby Harrah
well last chance coming up
and if i had to pick 3 guys to hit, it’d be the 3 coming up so. maybe. crazy day, maybe we’ll pull it out
Especially if they aren't going to Rivera
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Well it was fun guys
I have to get on with my day. Have a great rest of the day.
Cheers

Don't forget Wells
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Does it have to be a song lyric?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Cuz I came up with one
“I can’t seem to find my way out of your hunting ground”
From “I Can’t See New York” by Tori Amos off the album Scarlet’s Walk.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
