There was a bit of Jays news. Anthony Alford cleared waivers and has been assigned to Buffalo.
Blue Jays 3 Rays 4
We’ve had a few late game comebacks. Today we lost when the Rays had the late game comeback.
Going into the eighth inning, the Jays were up 3-2. Brian Moran, who got the last two outs of the seventh, started the inning and gave up a walk to Nate Lowe. In came Rafael Dolis. Dolis got a strikeout then Ji-Man Chio put down a sac bunt,...

Tomorrow night at 7:00 Eastern, on TSN, the E:60 Special: Imperfect the Roy Halladay Story will debut.
ESPN tells us that it “goes beyond Halladay’s on-field accomplishments to reveal there was another side to him: a deeply imperfect side that the public never saw, including a years-long battle with mental health issues and addiction.”
From their press release:
After more than two years of silence, Halladay’s family speaks for the first time on camera in “Imperfect” about the...

An exploration of a classic Toronto Blue Jays minor league baseball card set.
The photos were taken in harsh sunlight in front of a cinderblock wall, the players are not centred, the colour is not corrected, but dammit I fell in love with the 1985 Kinston Blue Jays team baseball card set the moment I laid eyes on it. Being stuck...

Blue Jays 5 Rays 10
We got another poor start from Chase Anderson. He went 3 innings plus one batter, before coming out of the game with a sore thumb. He’s day-to-day but will likely be able to make his next start.
Chase gave up 3 runs in the first inning. A single (Jose Martinez), triple (Austin Meadows) and home run (Hunter Renfroe) put us down 3-0.
To start the fourth inning he gave up a Yandy Diaz single and had to come out of...
Thanks to Toronto's decision to take a chance on a towering, flame-throwing righty in spite of a high school elbow scare, the Jays have a potential ace in the making who is on the cusp of reaching the big leagues.
Hall of Fame pitcher Roy Halladay's life was full of fantastic moments, but his difficult life behind closed doors is something that continues to be unfurled.

It’s Hall of Famer Frank Thomas’ 52nd birthday.
Frank was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014, his first time on the ballot. He played 19 seasons, mostly for the White Sox. He hit .301/.419/.555 with 521 home runs. He was AL MVP twice and received MVP votes 11 times. His 73.9 career bWAR puts him 54th all time among position players and 83rd among all players.
His Jays connection happened late in his career.

Yesterday was an off-day for the Blue Jays.
Before the game, the Jays made a roster move. Anthony Alford was designated for assignment and put on waivers. And Teoscar Hernandez was recalled from Buffalo.
Alford was hitting .191/.269/.277 with 1 home run, 1 steal and one caught stealing. He has a -0.1 WAR. He was mostly used as a defensive replacement, until Hernandez was sent down to Buffalo. After that he got more starts.
Hernandez wasn’t doing much...

Happy Tuesday.
Calgary is starting to ‘open up’. Some restaurants and hair cutting places opened yesterday. I’m of the opinion that I’ll give it a couple of weeks or so and see how the numbers look and then maybe I can get a long overdue hair cut. I do have a favorite bar that’s walking distance from my place and I’m hoping they can stay in business. We’ve been ordering takeout from them during the shutdown. I might go over in the...

So the question I have for you is simply what sports moments have made you cry. You can answer in the comments, or we can always use more fanposts, if you want to write about it in more detail.I’m not the crying type unless you put on the end of A Wonderful Life. “Look Daddy, teacher said when ever a bell...

All-Star voting has started (in the sim world) and no Blue Jays hitters are in the top 3 of voting at their positions. I thought Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero would be in the top 3 of the voting. Maybe they will catch as time goes on. The game lists the top 5 pitchers in voting and we have a starting pitcher and a relief pitcher in the top 5 of voting.

The trouble with going away for a couple of days, when you are doing a daily sim game, is that you are suddenly 3 games behind when you get back to it.
This is Friday’s game.
Orioles 1 Blue Jays 13
How can you tell it is CFL football, well that single point is a hint.
The Blue Jays managed 15 hits, including 6 home runs, against Orioles pitching.
We got home runs from Derek Fisher (2, his 11th and 12th of the season), Vladimir Guerrero (9th of the...

Rob Ducey turns 55 today. It seems funny, I still think of him as a young man.
Rob was born in Toronto. He signed as a minor league free agent with the Jays in 1984. That year Rob started his professional career in Medicine Hat and hit very well .302/.406/.523. He moved up the system quickly, hitting above .300 most seasons, with good power and a good number of walks and some stolen bases.
Rob made it to the Jays in 1987 and played was...
Before we start this, sorry, I’ve been away for a couple of days. We decided to go up to Edmonton for a couple of days. It’s been a year since my wife’s mom died and she wanted to go to the grave site. It was nice to get out of town for a bit, even if it was kind of weird with all that is going on at the moment.
I’ll catch up on the OOTP sim tonight.
