Okay, it's time...

[Juan Albion]

Let's play ball...

BlueJays first pitch in two minutes...

 

[Simster]

 

[Juan Albion]

And it's a strike from the Doc...

 

[Juan Albion]

Strike threeeeeeeeeeeeee and he's gone...

 

[Raphael Meade]

WOOHOO!!! go jays.. this IS the year i can feel it.

put me a tenner on the jays to win the world series a month or so back at VERY favourable odds

 

[Juan Albion]

End of the first: 0-0

Three K's for the Doc in the first, and a double for Catalanotto. Just a matter of time...

 

[Raphael Meade]

cant get it on tele but got the stats box up.. hows halladay looking? see higginson walked...

 

[Juan Albion]

Mid 1st. Doc's looking excellent but has thrown a few pitches more than usual by this point. He has 4 K's. The walk was no big deal as first was open. Both Detroit hits have been streaky ones.

 

[The Large One]

It's.... time. What do you think this is? Pipkins?

WTF are you lot doing?

Whazzup?

0-0 end of 2. Jays still getting lots of good wood on the ball but just not getting the timing exactly right. Only a matter of time - second time through the order should do it.

 

[Raphael Meade]

strikes out in 3 pitches.. go DOC!!

 

[Juan Albion]

Due up in the 4th for the Jays: Wells, Delgado, Hinske...

well i wouldnt wanna be pitching against that!!!

 

[Juan Albion]

But Detroit take the lead with a homer that just gets over the fence. Doc left the ball slightly up. Replied with another strike out. He now has 6 from four innings - double figures a distinct possibility again.

 

[Raphael Meade]

whats up with this guy trying to pick off wells every other second?!!

 

[Juan Albion]

He obviously hasn't read the scouting report - the Jays rarely steal. Oh well, a good-looking inning that again just failed to deliver. Hudson was about 2 inches from at least tying the game.

 

[Raphael Meade]

2 nothing tigers..

 

[Juan Albion]

4-0 Tigers. Again so close for the Jays. A throw from Hudson that would have ended the inning just gets away from Delgado and 2 runs score.

 

[Raphael Meade]

bollox... and it was all going so well!!

 

[Juan Albion]

All is not lost. The Detroit pitcher is having the game of his life, but he should be gone soon with any luck, and their bullpen is very dubious.
