Last night was a dream right? Sunday Morning Linkfest


That was really a disappointing end to the game last night, After narrowly tiptoeing out of danger in each of the 8th and 9th innings it felt like we were going to pull it off. When Snider got caught in the run down that really killed us. I know he couldn't have done much different, the ball was hit to his left, you are taught to run on those and even if he didn't Scutaro was between him and 2nd base. He was a sitting duck no matter what, but that doesn't make it any less hard to take.

With the loss the blogosphere is kinda quiet this morning, everyone must be sleeping in getting ready for the afternoon getaway game.

Onto the Links!

Recaps of last night's disappointment can be found with Mike Wilner (With Jays Talk), Toronto Sun, Toronto Star and the National Post.
