No pun intended or reference to the game/app Angry Birds, but with the way the Blue Jays have been swinging the bat like crazy, it seems only fitting to mention that the Jays are swinging and hitting like angry birds!
Closer Issues & Extra Innings
For anyone to tell me that Frank Francisco should be the closer, I'll go on record and say that I seriously prefer Jon Rauch after he slammed the door shut on the White Sox on Thursday. I was catching Saturday's 14 inning game on an off in increments, and all I could think was "8-8 after 9 innings?! PLEASE tell me you're joking!"...apparently not but thanks to one hot swing of Corey Patterson's bat, the Jays won that exhausting marathon!
Series Recap:
Onto today's game to round out the series: apparently, White Sox starter Danks went into this game 0-7 and of all things, decides to call out Bautista for "being a clown". No lie--if I were Bautista and I heard what Danks was chirping, I would've just been silent instead....besides, talking smack to the league leader in home runs really doesn't get one anywhere, since he'll eventually find his revenge with a homerun at some point. The angry birds aspect of Sunday's game really showed: Hill had a Grand Slam off of Danks, Encaracion (of all people!) had a 2-run shot, and then another home run by, who else but Patterson. To say the least, the Blue Jays seem to really enjoy lighting up the White Sox at the Rogers Centre--and clearly, Ozzie Guillen hates it.
Up next: 4 game series vs the Cleveland Indians.
