Sunday September 30th

Jays lose season end game 8-5.

The good: Joe (who ?) Inglet.... two hits, two rbis, and a triple..... recalled from Syracuse September 27th but a great start....
Adams stolen base.
Lind two more rbis..

The bad: Burnett imploding sixth for five runs and blowing 4-2 lead.

The very bad: As with yesterday the line-up for the 44,000 fans who should get refund for having to watch the 4th team..... Not even cameo appearances from the big guns. A disgusting way to treat the fans on fan appreciation day ??? and then JP wonders why he was booed on Jumbotron... Do you not think that fans could have one appearance from Matt Stairs on a day when Weir was kicking Woods in Montreal ? or one from Frank Thomas to try to get closer to that 100 ? At least one run through the 1st team order ?
On field the only one was Rios.

More very bad: the treatment of coaching staff and the changes. The leaks had started a week ago and should have been confirmed by Jays at that time when Mickey Brantley acknowledged loss of job and fall-guy. I have mixed feelings re the fall-guy analysis and feel that he must have had something to do with impatient bats all season, the lack of discipline at plate. On the plus side Stairs maintains that Brantley helped him adjust his stance this season with great results.
The treatment of Whitt also will hurt JP.... arguably just as great a fan favourite as Stairs. I agree the line-up cards issues hurt Whitt but.....

Gibbons still here...
