JAYS BLOG

Well its over, the undefeated May in no longer a possibility. The road runner is to coyote like the devil rays are to the jays. I don't know why but Toronto seems to never be able to beat up on probably the worst team of the decade. Now the loss was bad, but the loss of our two shortstops is even worse. First Eckstein made a dive, which johnny mac would make easily, and suffered a hip flexor. He should be out for the next cople of days. Now all seems fine as the Jays have the best defensive shortstop in the league in John Macdonald. A few innings after however, Macdonald dives for hard line drive and rolls his ankle. This injury doesn't seem to be the day to day type. I think 4-6 weeks seems more likely. So now here are the jays, in a mere 3 innings we have lost both our shortstops and have given up a lead that would end up winning the game. Some hope, however came from this game. Overbay had a outstanding night, just missed a homerun as the ball hit the top of the center field wall and came back right into B.J. Upton's hands. Wells continued to have the hot hand. One player i think we need to be concerned is Alex Rios. He seems to be opening up on his swing and losing the power he once hand. I guess the batting coach should take care of that. Well its the rays, what do you expect. All the jays can do is hope that Marcum can pitch a shutout, because that's probably the only way the Jays will win
