Series finale San Francisco Giants and Toronto Sunday June 20 and chance for sweep.
Jays have held their own against Giants this weekend, can they win all three? They have great chance with Marcum pitching. Our seats today are third base second level great seats BUT we have a row of visiting Giants fans sitting right behind us. Fathers Day today.
Cute start to the game with the first pitch event with six children of the players throwing baseballs to their dads. We forget too often that the players are also family men and do not see their family for long stretches from February to September each year. Johnny Mc. back with team after death of his own father this week. This team must be very much part of his family today.

He has had a rough time and probably no greater than right now hitting on Father’s Day. He lines this one to left will it carry? Yes sirree this one is over the fence in left field and Jays first home run today !!! and a two run for Johnny Mc. Crowd is on their feet for Johnny Mc. every single fan is with that guy as he goers around the bases. What a return to the lineup and obviously something for his Dad today. Score 9-5 now. Giants fans have gone very quiet behind me. Lind singles to centre. Wise in the game for Wells. Grounds to Renteria throw to second base Sanchez, Lind out. Green pops up to right field Schierholtz, with two down. Wilson now pitching. Tying run on deck. Overbay strikes out. Almost did it. But Tallet in his one third of an inning did this team in today. 29 pitches for Purcey.
Jays lose big 9-6 but in fact had the tying run on base and that is something to count. Will Cito dump Tallet ? Probably not but expect to see him sitting on the bench for a long while.
The excellent: Marcum gutted his way through this one, did not have his A game. Too many walks (five) with one intentional. Johnny Mc. hitting the two run home run returning after what must have been very unhappy period for him.
The awful: Tallet only one third of an inning but five runs result and that is basically the game.
