Jose Bautista's June Swoon →
In the wake of all the pitching injuries, it can be easy to dwell on the negative things surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays. The starting rotation may be in shambles, but there are a lot of things to be thankful for right now; namely Jose Bautista.
More about Jose Bautista’s “June Swoon” over at BJH.
Anonymous asked: Do the Blue Jays want to merge with the Mets? Together they could make an awesome baseball Frankenstein!

It turns out the Animated GIF I posted last night of Omar Vizquel was just the tip of the iceberg of his dance routine. Luckily, the dugout cameras at Fenway Park caught his entire routine in camera.

Flashback Friday: Dave Stieb's Back to Back... →
As incredible as it is to put zeros across the board, there’s one feat that happened this week that hadn’t been accomplished in 24 years prior. On the heels of R.A. Dickey’s back to back one-hitters earlier this week, we take a look back at the last man to accomplish the very same feat: Dave Stieb.

Over at BJH, a look at a symptom that may have signaled that injuries were in the future of Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison. It all has to do with the “Inverted W”.

Happy Father's Day
“Hey Dad, wanna have a catch?”
Every time I watch that scene from “Field of Dreams”, I get a little misty-eyed. Mostly because I couldn’t imagine an instance where a son wouldn’t be able to have a catch with his father.
Playing catch is a rite of passage for most young boys (and daughters). Tossing a baseball back and forth might seem like something so...

Flashback Friday: Damaso Garcia Sets His Uniform... →
Following the game, Damaso resorted to some drastic measures to exorcise his demons. Garcia took his Blue Jays uniform and cap into the showers in the visitor’s clubhouse at the Coliseum, doused them in alcohol, and lit them on fire.
More info in the incident at The Blue Jay Hunter.

Animated GIF: Jose Bautista's "TV Dive"
I guess after watching Colby Rasmus on the highlight reel, Jose Bautista decided it was time to come up with his own “TV Dive”.

I don’t even know if this is geographically possible, but Jose Bautista hit a home run last night from the south side of Chicago all the way to the north side. So the ball should be landing at Wrigley Field any day now.

Does David Cooper Have a Future at First Base? →
I figured by now the ghost of Adam Lind would be haunting the Blue Jays roster, but honestly I’ve barely even noticed that Lind has been out of the lineup for the past 17 games.
But ever since the wheels came off with Adam Lind, that’s opened the door of opportunity for David Cooper. And I have to say, I like what I’ve seen so far.

Blue Jays Fashions from the Jays Care Golf...
J.P. Arencibia rocking the fuchsia shorts. Luckily, his teammates need’nt worry about teeing off while J.P. was on the green because they could spot him from 3 holes away.
I guess Francisco Cordero didn’t get the memo that jeans aren’t exactly the most comfortable things to wear on the golf course. It kind of reminds me of the one time when I ran the 400m in Grade 5 in...
