Before you ask, no you can't have Farrell back. The man's a freaking GOD!

4-1 start, could easily have been 5-0 if Lindy had a bit more patience on Sunday. We've done this before of course, but this year is different because it's not in spite of the manager, it's very much because of him

Really if you looked at the team we put out yesterday, you'd wonder how the fook we were winning.

Great home stand for us. I didn't want to curse it by posting about how well we've been hitting. Our bats have been on fire and yesterday's game was amazing. Like the opener, Volquez gifted some runs but man we were great coming back. Put the defence on the back foot with a double steal that turned in an extra base and run scored after an error. Brilliant stuff although Volquez is a concern for our west coast trip (where we've stunk expect for last year when we won a few).

We're hitting the West Coast too Mike. Toronto teams don't fare too well out there.

Tough loss yesterday, another 1 run game. But Romero pitched well and we get Bautista back today. He's taken the role of leader very seriously and is always talking to his team mates throughout the game, encouraging them. It's great to see. Given who and where he was just a couple of seasons ago it's an amazing transformation.

Be intersting to see how Vernon Well s does against his old team. He's not exactly on fire so far but this series could spark him. Hope not though

Great start for me in the fantasy in that I think I'd have beaten anybody this week in the league lol. Awesome even with Snider and Davis whiffing like big babies. Get your act together Blue Jays! Votto (.455, 12r, 2hr, 6rbi, 1steal) and Weaver (20.2ip, 0.87era, 0.87whip and 27k!) have been brilliant.

As for the Reds, well we threw away a chance at a series win yesterday although there was a bit of bad luck for Leake with ground balls turning into infield singles too.

I see Manny Ramirez has retired instead of being suspended for 100 games after he tested positive for drugs again.

5-4. Not a bad start. Our pitching rotation would have been great back in 2008. Jeter off to an awful start. getting some pop in my fantasy league.

Anyone been to AT&T Park? I'm going in May.

How's things in fantasy land folks? I gave Ande a hiding last week, got about 5 Yankees in his team as well.

I'm like the Reds. Great first week and then can't buy a bucket.
