In a 5-2 shellacking of the mighty Devil Rays, Halladay was sharp (2ER, 0BB, that's my boy), Wells, Hinske and Hudson all hit jacks, and the defense sparkled.
I'm sure this thread will just be six months of me and Thermo complaining about crappy bullpens, but who cares, I wanted an ILBB Blue Jays thread to call our own.

My interest in the Jays (and baseball in general) usually decreases quite a bit by the end of June until the playoffs begin but maybe this season will be different. Maybe the lack of NHL playoffs will cause me to be bored of baseball by May.

This was the most lively games I've seen in a while, a combination of opening day madness, Red Sox fans making the pilgimage to Toronto and Leafs fans letting off drunken steam in the absence of hockey.

My SP's are still a bit of a concern (relievers have been excellent) but half of my hitters haven't really picked it up yet. I'm not too concerned though -- Mike Lowell and Jose Vidro aren't going to hit .200 this season.

A friend of mine showed up this morning with tickets for the game. And what a game it was! Quite the 9th inning but the end result is we're alone at #1. Plus Lilly and Walker pitched well so I'd say today wasn't total bad news from the bullpen.

I'm shocked at how well Hinske is doing. I'm wondering if he's back in his ROY form or if he's going to settle back into his more recent .240 caliber hitting.

Can I get this printed on a t-shirt?
I hate the Yankees and would prefer that Boston went to the playoffs, but we should have had this one. A 4-1 lead, bases loaded in the fourth with a chance to break the game open, something like 1-11 with runners in scoring position, about a dozen runners left on, BATISTA, etc.

A one-out single by Bernie Williams off Scott Schoeneweis was followed by two-out walks to Derek Jeter and Rodriguez, issued by Jason Frasor. Miguel Batista came on and struck out Jason Giambi to keep the Blue Jays on top.
Batista then struck out the side in the ninth to notch his 30th save.
wasnt even a week ago!
of course i've only watched the past few weeks this season and it seems like he's chucked total garbage every other time. plus he's got a 6.06 era with 2 blown so far in my mvp 2005 season, the bum.
