Saw my first Jays game during the final weekend at Exhibition Stadium and have been a rabid fan ever since. Still waiting on a foul ball...22 years and counting, / sigh.

Last season Carm cam up with a series of recipe posts to spur our Blue Jays on to victory. Tom's post about how to remove the curse from the Jay's bats gave me the idea to revive Carm's idea and hopefully help end the miasma that has plagued our team.
Stairs to retire
Here's to you Matt, you did good.

So last night I sat in front of the TV while eating dinner, watching the Red Sox play the Yankees. Now usually I pay little attention to the tidbits of info offered by ESPN's broadcasters but this one caught my eye. It was about our very own Jedi Master and the tear he has been on as of late.

Several Jays Hit Waivers
Apparently includes Camp and Buck. Ken Rosenthal rumour so take with a teaspoon of salt.
Beyond the Boxscore: Jose Bautista Surprise Factor 10
Beyond the Boxscore article that tries to rate the level of surprise about who leads the league at the half way mark. A for effort, but I don't think he quite captures how surprised we are.
Where do I file my complaint? - SB Nation Power Rankings
The good - Jays are one of the top 5 teams outperforming expectations.
The bad - Apparently they "feel bad" for Shaun Marcum for being stuck in Blue Jays purgatory.
This is why I can't stand American "experts".
The Best 1-2 Punches of '10 So Far

In the above link there is an at bat between a switch-hitter and switch-pitcher. This is exactly as it sounds. There is a hitter who can hit from both sides of the plate and a pitcher who can use either arm to pitch. Lets just say silly things happen when neither one can make up their mind about which side of the plate they want to use.
Must See Power Rankings
This is the kind of positive thinking I want to hear more of.
BBTN Actually mentions the Jays
and its positive!
New Award for Jays Pitchers

Doctastic
Someone used this to describe Romero's performance today and I got to agree, he was Doctastic. Why not make that the official way we refer to any Blue Jay pitcher's performance when they throw a complete game. This is not to mourn the past or the loss of Roy Halladay, but rather to honor the pitcher who has become synonymous with the complete game for the current generation of baseball fans.
So what do you all think? Our Suckage awards have player names associated with them, why not have it for a positive award?
