Around SBN: VIDEO: Austin Rivers' Buzzer Beater Finishes Off UNC

Saturday Morning Link Fest

What a  beautiful game last night. It is always fun to be on the winning side of a rout, but it as twice as fun when the team on the other side is the Sox of the Red variety.

Bautista hit another home run and currently sits at 38 for the year. This is unbelievable to me, I never would have thought he would have a break out year, let alone a monster season like this. He still has a legitmate shot at breaking the Jays all time single season HR record held by George Bell at 47, that my friends is truely unbelievable and one of things that makes this game so much fun to watch.

Just think of this season, how many near no hitters have we seen? How many amazing moments? In a year were even the most optimistic of us were all but writing the team off they have shown and given everything they possibly can. What an entertaining team.

Tune in after the jump for the links from around the Jays Blogosphere. And use this thread to talk about whatever you like on this

What an amazing cap to the work week last night.

That game would be tough to top..a giant sinkhole swallowing Fenway in the middle of a Sox/Yankees game is the only thing I can think of.

That’s not right. You want the sinkhole in new Yankee Stadium. Fenway is a great park.

SOSH is one amusing blog with the Bosox lose

i read that after the Paps meltdown in TO. Schadenfreude never tasted so good.

15 comments pages of moaning and crying captured on the intertubes. One would think after 2 WS wins in 6 years, they would at least lose with some semblance of dignity. Even the Yanks fans are better at dealing with a loss than the BoSox fans.

They still are the fans I enjoy watching cry the most.

In honor of the Jays 2nd Baseman who played with fire in more ways than one.

curse of the Bambino

I guess they had so many years of legitimate whining (is there such a thing? LOL) that it’s become part of their psyche. Last nite was amazing…

If you go over to "Over the Monster"

Last Night’s game had a total of 72 comments in their game thread. The Jays sure shut them up last night.

There She Gooooooes!

The same thing happens here when we are out of the game early :)

That's true but.

Even then we get 200-300 posts. Over the monster is just as far as I’ve seen one of the less used SB nation blogs. Most likely because there is so many other options out there, like SoSH for one.

Late update. Added the fangraphs article talking about the draft for each team in the AL East

Thanks for the link Johnny. I was hoping the Blue Jays were going to build a double-digit lead just to add insult to injury, but I’ll take a 14 run lead any day.
