How good is Robinson Cano? 407 and 8 homers? Could have the best April in Yankees history.

Who? I'm still loving a .500 April for the Reds. Great stuff and a three game winning streak going into tonight's series against the Cardinals. Come on the Reds! They should employ me as a cheerleader.

Pretty prodicutive series for the Jays as they take 3 from 4 against Oakland. John Buck shut the fans up by hitting 3 homers on Thursday night and backing it up with 3 doubles yesterday. Alex Gone-zalez continues to impress with the bat too, with 8 HRs he's already matched his total for 2009.

The YTD batting stats for us are just messed up. Tied for 1st in the majors for HRs (38) and doubles (71), 2nd in total bases (397), 2nd in strikeouts (222) and 29th in BA (0.233). So much for playing small ball this year. I believe our philosophy at the plate is "Let it rip".

Road trip to Cleveland, Chicago and Boston up next. I'm sure Boston will be happy to see us again, we maybe not Beckett.

Brett Cecil was lights out.

Asbolutely. Saw him pitch in the spring against Phillie and he was looking great. He really should have started the season with the Jays but the manager in his wisdom wanted Tallet in the rotation because of his age/experience (which as a starter isn't that much). Cecil was killing it in AAA so I was kind of happy about Tallet picking up a minor injury. Most likely he'll go to the pen when he's off the DL and Brett will keep his place in the rotation.

Blue Jays currently leading the majors in HRs. And to think I scoffed at the manager when he said pre-season that we had at least 7 players capable of 20 HR seasons. Seriously though, who expected players like Buck, Bautista and Gonzalez to hit like this?

Going for the sweep in Cleveland as I type.

Red Sox vs Yankees starts again tonight

Beckett has had a tough start with a 6+ ERA so it should be interesting to see how the Yanks take him on
Buchholz has had a good start with plenty of K's so him vs CC should be a good game like.
Lester vs Burnett is the best looking game i think.

Can't wait to watch these games having missed the first few at the start of the season.

I'll be watching the Jays-ChiSox game tonight, hoping that Marcum picks up win number 2. Will have the Yankees-Redsox on the laptop so I can keep an eye on it. I predict that despite starting an hour later, our game will still finish before yours does

Rays keep on rolling beating Oakland 4-1

Ouch!

Jays win in extra innings. We're 2nd in come from behind wins - WTF?

Another 2 HRs for John Buck and the game winer from Alex Gonzalez, who now has more HRs than he got the whole of last season. Jays jave won 6 straight, 5 on the road. We're all a bit baffled in Jaysland but we'll take it while it lasts. If last season is anything to go by, we should be imploading some time next week.

Another painful outting from Beckett I see. Hope he keeps that up for us next week. Maybe this time we'll out hit the Red Sox. Looks like he'll be up against Marcum, so that's definitely in our favour.
