Silver Lining

At just under 2 hours, that game was almost painless, you have to imagine that a player almost prefers spending less than an hour on the astroturf in exchange for losing, especially at the start of a grueling trip.

There is a little bright side in this loss just about everywhere you look - Matthews was in the field, Cabrera got a day of rest to better cope with the coming game-crunch, Saunders saved the bullpen and his personal dignity in the process, and we may have two games left in toronto, but neither of them are with Roy Halladay. Oh, and Seattle lost, yeah, there is that nugget. Yes, othr than Erick Aybar's confidence, there was little damage to the Starship Angelprise in today's trek.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIVE ERRORS
No error was given when Saunders had a runner picked off and CK hit the runner in the back for a SB.  I turned it off after that!  
Stop swinging at balls out of the zone!

Under two hours is right
Geeez, i was at work, checking into the game every 5 minutes or so on MLB.TV, and it seems like every time i checked in on the lads, the Jays were batting and a top half of an inning had come and gone.

Saunders
is legit.  i like Santana but he would've probably given up at least 4 more runs after that first inning.

Kendrick is 2 for 11 in 3 rehab starts
1 strikeout, no walks.

im gonna say this again
It's not Astroturf. It is not carpet on cement. It is not even marginally hard.

It is FieldTurf. It feels like running on rubber pellets, becuse that's what it is. The only situation in which it might hurt is when making sharp turns with longish cleats.

East coast bias
