Blue Jays 16, Yankees 7: Don't Freak Out

Soooooooo fat.

It would be nice if all we had to talk about today was the Toronto crowd of 37 342, the worst start of Bartolo Colon's career, the Blue Jays sixteen runs on twenty hits, and Jo-Jo winning a game in which he allowed seven runs in less than six innings pitched. These are all happy things (except that Colon was clearly hurting, and I've got nothing against Bartolo Colon). But, alas, Jose Bautista twisted his ankle sliding into third on a play where most players would probably just pull up and jog in, and while it didn't even look that bad, and x-rays revealed no fractures, we would all be well advised to hold onto our butts at least until the MRI. Again, even though Bautista was clearly in pain, I would be really surprised if this was much of anything. As a thirty-two year old guy who does judo, I am basically the world's foremost expert in minor joint injuries that swell up and hurt like hell for a little while but which are fundamentally no big deal. And from what I saw on the replays, I bet that's all this is. But if it's more than that, we are all going to have to ask ourselves very real questions about the status of our butts.
