Wednesday September 26th

Jays win 8-5

The good: Halliday wins first road game since June...
Eight runs in first inning team record.
Patience and walks.... especially first big inning.
Accardo ninth for save.
Sets up Banks for tomorrow to go for sweep and 4 game win streak which was so difficult all season.
Frank's sacrifice fly in first inning a few feet away off grand slam.
Lind at bat in 9th, patience and concentration.

The very bad: Errors. Adams two and the last throwing error leads to three runs... Johhny Mac's error result of Stairs backhanding throw, for Overbay would have been no problem and a routine out.
More to the point the errors meant that Halladay had to throw an extra 25 pitches thus denying him another complete game to end his season.
The very very bad.... Bases loaded on three walks and no one out in 6th and Jays cannot score.

The bad: Mental, mental mental.....
Baltimore outhits the Jays.... and this is after giving up eight in first inning.

There is no excuse for end of season let down. They should all be playing 100%. Mental game can compensate for brilliance. With Halladay pitching the whole team should have been on for another two hour game especially with an eight run lead.
Adams issue again re inability to throw. Remember his last coming to majors with Hill (the franchise infield ) and inability to throw to first. He is doing nothing to reassure in September that he should be in majors in 2008.

I still don't see why Johnny Mac is risking further damage... A player compensating for an injury in one area of the body can do damage in another.
Hallady ends season with 16-7 record, not bad at all with his injury issues and blown leads....
