Blue Notes: Links

I wasn't paying proper attention yesterday and didn't notice that the Jays have two games going today. They play the Red Sox in Dunedin and have a split squad heading to McKechnie Field (a very nice place to watch baseball) to play the Pirates. So we will put up a game thread to talk about the games, though I won't be around for most of it.

Jared Macdonald, at The Good Point, talks to new Jay backup catcher Jeff Mathis.
