So, apparently the closers in MLB have been instructed to make games more exciting. LaTroy Hawkins blows the save against the Brewers, and then Foulke gives up 2 before recording the 3rd out. Whew. Fortunately, a win is a win, and almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Nice move by Mills to bring in Embree and then replace him with Timlin when the PH was announced. The Jays TV guys were going on about how young Timlin still looks. Not so sure about that, but it was interesting hearing stories of Timlin in his first spring training from back in ‘91.
Tek hit his 99th career homer today. It’ll be great if he hit #100 at the home opener. I still think the “C” on his uniform looks ugly. He’s clearly the captain, does he need to mark it?
How cool is getting Slash to perform the national anthems? Paging Dr Charles… no more Cowsills.
And Terry Francona is out of hospital. Great news.
