Blue Jays 10, Rangers 3: Adam Lind is Your Worst Nightmare

This man comes to the plate to "Country Grammar." In 2011.

We would all agree, would we not, that five-run firsts are totally the best kind? I can only imagine the agony of Rangers fans (like our own dear Chinballs), though, as they watched starter Matt Harrison give up a single, bunt single, walk, RBI single, RBI walk, visit to the mound, RBI walk, run-scoring double play, and yet another RBI single before the line-out that ended the inning. That is just about the shittiest inning.

Unless you are a Blue Jay, that is, or a Blue Jay enthusiast. Then you are confronted with a choice: did Harrison not have anything last night, or did the Toronto Blue Jays just severely know what they were doing? I for one have chosen to take the latter view. Adam Lind was particularly severe, knocking in five runs on a single and oh yeah two home runs that's right he DID hit two home runs last night now that you mention it that's true. It was one of those nights where everybody hit, except Mike McCoy, but that's cool, Mike McCoy, nobody blames you for being only what God made you in His wisdom. The haters looked on in horror as Jose Bautista went one for three with two walks and scored a run, and maybe the lead story at espn.com right now is about how Jose Bautista is the most feared hitter in baseball; I don't know, you'd have to go see for yourself, probably. 


It would be shabby of me not to mention a fine outing by Jesse Litsch, and another solid performance by the bullpen, which, aside from that singularly epic collapse that will haunt both my dreams and half-waking nightmares forever, has been a pleasant surprise so far.
