Brandon Morrow has ELECTRIC STUFF; A. J. Burnett gets hit in the ass by a line drive. Not a bad little day.

Jose Molina tags out Brett Gardner, who, although a Yankee, is pretty awesome.
6-5 Blue Jays! More importantly, Brandon Morrow looked good, and he's the Blue Jays pitcher I'm most excited about by far. I'm as ready for Kyle Drabek to own as the next guy, but Morrow , man, Morrow.  The 17K one-hitter against Tampa Bay last year was ridiculous ("It will haunt you," Dave Stieb said), and could totally be the best game he ever pitches in his entire career, even if he ends up putting it all together and being a front-line starter for years. He doesn't ever have to do that again. But if he can be just like the slightest bit more consistent he will be so awesome and even if he falls apart completely he'll never, ever be as contemptible as A. J. Burnett or anything.  Go Jays.

    lol Jeff Blair on Morrow vs. Burnett:

    "When the Blue Jays acquired Morrow from the Seattle Mariners in December, 2009, one member of the organization said the club felt it had acquired a pitcher who was 'A.J. with a brain,' – in other words, a pitcher with dominating stuff, but who would ultimately be lower maintenance."
