Double Crappiness With A Side Of No Internet

If anything good happened last night, it was the fact that The Cod got to feel up Scott Richmond. Oh, sorry...I mean, tried to settle him down.

I don't think I can make a blog post long enough for everything that sucked about last night. I would have posted about it last night, but my internet farted out. I think it was sick of my venting on Twitter. Richmond, fresh from the DL, was struggling. Badly. Was he rushed back? Was he just a bit rusty? I don't know....and I'm not even going to attempt to speculate.

Got this information from Jordan Bastian's tweet: Jays 1-3 hitters went 8-13, 5R, 5RBI, 3 2B, 1 HR. Batters 4-9? 2-24. PATHETIC. Then again, what can you expect when your cleanup hitter is Kevin Millar? Love the guy's personality....but he can't hit!

3 errors. 3 frickin' errors by the #1 team in the AL for fielding percentage! Truthfully, if we didn't end up losing this game, I would be pissed off. Yet, I'm still pissed off. Go fig :P

I guess it's because evil and mean JP traded Scott Rolen away. It's been released that Rolen asked to be traded because of family reasons, and he wanted to be closer to Indiana. In the end, JP accommodated for him and we got some youth. Again, far from being a JP supporter, but the Rolen trade is not a reason for him to be fired. At least in my humble opinion. I won't rant about Jays fans...I promise. Especially since I'll probably offend and upset some of my good friends.

Is it bad that I now prefer to hear Rance Mulliniks' voice over Jamie Campbell? I'm actually not cringing when I hear Rance talk anymore. But when Archie starts to talk, I want to throw something at my TV.

Then to add to it, the Brewers had an awesome 7-run second inning last night vs. the Padres. THEY BLEW IT. And they're in fourth place. Braden Looper's quote: “It’s tough to say that I was a better hitter than a pitcher today. I don’t ever want to say that.” (Taken from Adam McCalvy's tweet)

Ugh. Depressed. Well, at least I get to watch both the Jays and the Brewers games tonight. Hooray for my friend having MLB Extra Innings.

It's already August. *sob*

When Aussies Attack

Well, I WANTED to use an action shot of Ryan Long-Hyphenated-Name to suit the title. But nope. None available. And I'm sick of seeing Doc's face, so I'm boycotting the use of a Halladay picture. So let's just stare at Rowland-Smith's evil glasses of doom. No wonder the Jays were shaking in their cleats at the plate.

Yes. I'm bitter. Losing 2-3 to the EFFIN' MARINERS is just as bad as losing 2-3 to the EFFIN' INDIANS. Bloody Hell....you'd think that by watching today's game, we were at US Cellular Field with Buehrle on the mound! I don't want to take anything away from Rowland-Smith's pitching performance, which was really good. But we should have had this game in the bag.

The thing is, everybody just wants to blame one person for this loss, normally from the list of Usual Suspects (minus Fenster and Verbal....and the other guys). V-Dub popping out, yet again? Gotta love seeing Gene Tenace looking like, "What the F*** are we going to do with you?" when V-Dub headed back to the dugout. Welke for botching that call for poor old Doc? Or JP, who will get the blame for absolutely everything that goes wrong with this team right now?

Oh wait, I got it. It's John Gibbons' fault.

All kidding aside, I just want to put the blame on the team as a whole. Yes, there are a lot of distractions going on right now. But seriously, get your asses in gear so that way fans'll actually want to stick around to watch the team through another rebuild, and to prevent this team from going the way of the Expos.

On a side note, Kevin Millar is so bad, that even when he makes a play, it's an out, and he gets charged with an error.

Tomorrow's an off-day, at least on the field. I'm sure the Jays will still find a way to lose something. Maybe their luggage on the way to Oakland.

Speechless....

Quite depressed from the results of the Jays @ Mariners game, and the Brewers game....also exhausted. Shouldn't have stayed up watching Hell's Kitchen.

Actual coherent blog post coming later.
