Game 56-Yankees at Blue Jays-The Game As I Saw It

Here's a beautiful pano from the Rogers Centre just before Jose Bautista homered for the Jays in the second to put them up 1-0.

The roof is closed tonight and it's muggy in here, and the game is a hot one and the crowd is pretty big tonight for the first game in the Yankees series.

Jays leading 1-0 now in the fourth on Bautista's homer.

It's 10 AM and the French Open tennis is on the TV, and looking out my living room window with a coffee (thanks to my darling wife) ... the Dome is OPEN!

Weather out my dining room window (shhh ... my baby daughter's sleeping) Wind from the north at 16 mph. Visibility is 9 miles. Sky is clear with some high cirrus and haze. Temperature is 23C, dewpoint is 15C (humidity is therefore 60% ... wring out that sponge over T.O. later today folks). Barometer is 29.93 inches Hg and steady.

Play ball Jays and all you Jays fans!

Game 41 - Twins 2 at Blue Jays 11 - Jays Play A Hometown Hit Parade

The Jays wrapped up their homestand with a never-in-doubt win over Minnesota, downing the Twinkies 11-2 at the Rogers Centre Tuesday afternoon.

The Jays are taking the hit parade on the road, landing in Seattle Wednesday night to take on the Mariners.

Will they keep hitting the same sweet notes that they've been playing during the last homestand? With six of the players in the regular starting nine for the Jays still batting under .250, is this a team merely flirting with capricious fortuna as well as their fans misguided playoff dreams for 2010? There's a lot of buzz on MLB Trade Rumors and FanGraphs that says ... probably ...

The series with the Mariners begins Wednesday night.
