Tigers 4, Blue Jays 2; Phillies 7, Blue Jays 0; Blue Jays (split squad) 8, Pittsburgh 6; Blue Jays (split squad) 3, Red Sox 3: Spring Training Rolls On!

what's up, Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine's sunglasses

Almost unforgivably, there was no Toronto radio coverage of the Blue Jays game against the Tigers the other day, so I was reduced to following along on the actually totally good Detroit broadcast, which was kind of cool in that it gives one an outsider's view on what is happening with a team I am otherwise too close to see from the proper perspective, probably. Or so I thought, until it turned out the Detroit guys liked the Blue Jays' revamped bullpen, thought there was a lot to like in the lineup, and that with the extra wild card team this year they had a shot, but it's all going to hinge on what happens with this young rotation. Me too! That's totally what I think! Also they said that they liked the new uniforms because the old ones had numbers on the back that were way too italicized so it was hard to see who was warming up in the bullpen or whatever if you are not the kind of person who can just look and be like "fuck, it's Brian Tallet" by horrifying body type alone. Anyway, this was a good game, and Chris Woodward played, and I was like "oh hey Chris Woodward again." The next day they played the Phillies, and although they gave up seven runs, all seven runs came off pitchers who aren't coming north with the club anyway, so what do I care? Not at all! Then today there were a couple of split squad games. Whatever man everything is cool!
