Blue Jays Baserunning? Not So Bad, Actually
2009-09-16 13:42:00
Last night I got to see Vernon Wells picked off (allegedly) first base and then thrown out of the game for arguing his case.  Due to the sheer number of flubs, misplays and screw-ups this season I didn’t think anything of it.  In fact I expected to see it.  But then I thought for a ...

Adam Loewen Now Part of The Blue Jays...
2008-10-25 21:49:00
I seriously thought that Adam Loewen would resign with Baltimore; however, things have changed as he was put on waivers a few days ago.Now he's part of the Toronto Blue Jays. TORONTO (AP) -- The Toronto Blue Jays acquired two of the top four picks in the 2002 draft on Friday, signing converted pitcher Adam Loewen to a minor league contract and claiming right-hander Bryan Bullington off waivers.Bullington was selected by Pittsburgh with the top overall selection and Loewen was taken fourth by the Baltimore Orioles. Neither player has panned out so far professionally.Baltimore released Loewen on Monday, but had hoped to re-sign him to a minor league deal. Loewen, a native of Surrey, British Columbia, acknowledged leaving the Orioles was "extremely difficult," but said the chance to join Toronto was too good to pass up."I grew up watching the Blue Jays and was a huge fan all my life," he said. "This is a great opportunity. I'm really excited to get going."Loewen's pitching career en...

Home Runs Power Red Sox Victory...Boston Red Sox 6 Toronto Blue Jays 5
2008-08-25 11:12:00
This was an exciting game! Sunday afternoon in Toronto, the Red Sox and the Blue Jays played the final game of their three game set, and Boston emerged victorious by a score of 6-5. Five of their runs came from the long ball, with Pedy Pedroia hitting a crucial three run bomb to left in the third inning off a neck high pitch from starter AJ Burnett. They scored four runs that inning, but the Blue Jays went ahead 5-4 after six. It was time for some heroics, as this game was viewed as a big one by every Sox player. And Coco Crisp delivered in the seventh with a solo home run to tie that all important score. It stayed tied as the beleagered Boston bullpen came through with five scoreless innings. Now that's priceless! And then came the eleventh, and Jed Lowrie promptly hit the game winning home run to right center. Little Manny Delcarmen relieved Jonathon Papelbon, who had breezed through the ninth and tenth innings, needing only 16 pitches. And Manny came through and the Red Sox, bat...
