    And there it is. The CC long ball. This is why you cannot keep on blowing chances to score runs.

    And for those of you keeping score, the Jays are up 7-5 in the 6th inning against the Phillies.

    If you're slumping & want to come up big, it doesn't get any bigger than that. Long over due.

    2 runs, with no outs, and one RISP, nice...

    Glad to see the late inning runs. Makes the ninth much less stressful. Now just wrap up the win.

    He'll own more offensive records, ( I believe) less a few, esp SB's.

    1 reason it was hard to continue to pull for Alex after 03-04, the saddest thing, I believe we've all agreed on, is: The shame is alot of these Gen-PED era Players, (as Alex came to exemplify), would of so easily walked into the HOF, without a drop of PED anything. Maybe some cough syrup if they caught a flue........

    when alot of these great players, never needed to begin with to get into the HOF, without cheating......sad thing about it all, other than defending Him even when the Team was calling him A-Fraud in the Clubhouse, around 03-04......

    I was looking so forward to seeing all offensive records become broken, and they would of, if Alex did not need Hip Surgery on both Hips; and lost time for PED Use......(long term health can break many records)

    Nice to see He has made a clean come back resurgence, which rare in many cases; after PED suspensions....

    And the sad thing is that both A-Rod & Bonds were locks for the HOF, they didn't need to cheat.

    Looks like the offense may have bailed out the Big Donkey, at least he went almost 7. Nice to see Bird with a couple of hits, A-hole with a bomb, bout time he did something. Now finish up the damn game, no help from Philly tonight.

    Yep, a sweep needs to happen, I don't think the Phillies will be much help tomorrow either. Eovaldi, damn that guy makes me nervous.

    Yes, your right. Several others were also locks, and they pissed it all away. Every kids dream is to play MLB, every Young Man's dream, who loves baseball, to be a MLB-Hall Of Famer.........
