Sunday September 16th

Bad loss 8-6 in 12 innings

The good: Hill's 42 double of season to break Alomar's record, if he can also get 1 more home run he can tie Alomar's record definitely within reach. Too bad about those two robbed by Cathcart in Kansas.
Lind HR
Adams HR

The bad:
Toronto gave this away several times, winning 4-1 and tieing again after 4-6.
Loading the bases in 7th one out no score...... Wells again.
Marcum only five innings, this guy's arm is shot, give him a break.
Frasor loss, another bad outing.
1-16 scoring opportunities, this is totally unacceptable for a paper hitting team, or is that "on paper" or "paper in actuality"?
Thigpen 0-22 slump, Jays need a better backup catcher than this for next year.
Janssen's error. I wonder if anyone has counted number of errors thrown into centre field this season ?

Overall when Toronto is dependent on Home runs from Adams and Lind to get rbis they are in trouble.
Why did it take eight pitchers to get through 12 innings ?
This is end of season Gibbons, how about a radical idea and use one of the new arms for more than an inning. This was Baltimore not Boston.
Same old, same old Gibbons managing of pitchers which has not changed all season and one of the major reasons for tiredness. Has to change post-season. The younger guys were not expecting to be in majors all season.
Conditioning of the new pitchers is only one part of this equation.
Major series now...... will they get up for Boston and get fired up by the 10,000 Red Sox nation in the dome ? give them a taste of play-off games, put some pressure on....
