The 2012 Blue Jays bobblehead giveaways. Ricky kind of looks like Ricky, Yunel looks pretty much like Yunel, and I’m not quite sure who Brandon looks like.

The Curious Dustin McGowan Contract Extension
Under ordinary circumstances, it might seem crazy to sign a player who has appeared in only 29 games in the past 32 months to a contract extension (hat tip to @ArdenZwelling). But Dustin McGowan is anything but ordinary.

Flashback Friday: The Blue Jays Flare Magazine Photo Shoot
Anybody who can catch nine innings has my utmost respect, let alone in stilettos. It’s not every day you find the Toronto Blue Jays in a Canadian magazine publication.
So it definitely seems like something worth mentioning … a mere eight years after the fact, don’t you think? For this week’s Flashback Friday, we take a look at the Toronto Blue Jays 2004 spring photo shoot in Flare Magazine.
The Blue Jays rounded up Reed Johnson, Chris Woodward, Miguel Batista, Orlando Hudson and Vernon Wells for this photo shoot. I don’t know the exact release date of the Blue Jays issue, but one can only assume it happened during March of 2004 during Spring Training.
”You see that Chris Gomez guy? He’s totally going to steal my job at shortstop.”
Miguel Batista practices “smizing” at opposing hitters.
And to think .. the other split-squad game had Joe West as their umpire.
“If I can run in these heels, then you can at least hit 30 home runs this season.”

Flashback Friday: Ernie Whitt’s McDonald’s Commercial
Have you ever been sitting in your local McDonald’s enjoying a nice McChicken sandwich, only to look up briefly and see Ernie Whitt across the restaurant? Apparently this scenario happened for one young lady.
For this week’s Flashback Friday, we take a look back at Ernie Whitt’s McDonald’s commercial from 1986.
This isn’t the first time that a Blue Jays player has been featured in a McDonald’s commercial, as George Bell and even Bobby Cox have appeared in spots for Mickey D’s.
The most incredible part of this commercial is that there was a time where Blue Jays caps were only $1.99. Heck, you can’t even get a large fries for that much these days!

Flashback Friday: the Mike Sirotka Trade
Remember when the Blue Jays traded David Wells for somebody who never threw a pitch again in the Major Leagues? I revisit perhaps one of the worst trades in Blue Jays history over at BJH.
