Jays 5-1 so far in ST. I know we tend to peak too soon but this is ridiculous. icon_lol.gif I only hope they can keep it going through til the end of ST. Last year I saw ST 3 games, 3 defeats. This year I'll be at 4 games and would like to see us win at least one fo them.

Roll on March 26th icon_biggrin.gif

Only if they start badly. icon_biggrin.gif

So, realistic expectations/hopes for your team this year?

Blue Jays are pretty much going to blow this season. I'm just hoping for a solid return for Shaun Marcum, a good 2nd season from Ricky Romero and Aaron Hill to continue getting more awesome. Anything on top of that is a bonus really. I fully expect the manager to me off on a regular basis by continuing to misuse the BP, stick with Wells in the 4th spot regardless of form and only give John McDonald one start a month.

Finish 4th this year and it will be a successful season for us, however I don't even see us doing that...

Think we have bought well in Lackey, Chapman, Scutaro and Beltre hopefully Ellsbury can do well in Left field and Dice-K can sort his act out because he may be needed later on in the season.
Losing Varitek as primary catcher means that i think there will be changes only for the better and V-Mart is a great catcher and hitter.
Short stop problem has finally been sorted and Lowell's problems at 3rd base have been sorted too. Youkilis won't be having nightmares about 3rd base anymore.
Right field is a bit dodgy with Drew out there but Reddick has done well in Spring Training so he may have a minor shout at first grade action.

I think we can go well this season and be in October again.

Great article from ESPN on life without Roy Halliday and the incredible 'Halliday Effect'. Well worth a read.

Taken from the article:

"Over the past eight seasons, Roy Halladay's team was 60 games over .500 (149-89) when he started -- and 71 games under .500 (493-564) when anyone else started. Scary.

Want to look at this another way? OK, when Halladay started between 2002-09, the Blue Jays had a .626 winning percentage. When anyone else got the ball, they had a .466 winning percentage. If you forgot your calculators, that comes to a 160-point Halladay Effect.

That's more than double the Sabathia Effect (64 points) over the same period. And it's 26 points higher than the only other ace impact that was even in the same solar system, the Johan Santana Effect (134 points)."

You have to get up early to beat the Airlie Birds!:



Thinking of taking in a Mets game when we're in NY in July, anyone recommend a website for booking tickets?

Agreed. I've used them a few times and have no complaints.

That said, I can't imagine that the Mets sell out that often. Why not try the ticket office (or website). That way you're not paying over the odds and you can probably pick them up the day of the game, save you paying a daft postage fee.

Speaking of ticket prices, I cannot believe the Jays are increasing theirs. Of all years to do it, this should be the year they reduce them, or at least have some sort of offer on (Ie - $5 for 500 level tickets all year round) to get the fans back in, if any way to turn the fans away ala Halladay, this is a close second!
