How about them Blue Jays!!!!!!
What a weekend we witnessed.
The best first game ever by a MLB rookie on Saturday and(apparently according to some stats geek) the 3rd most dominating performance by a pitcher, on Sunday.
On Saturday, Arencebia goes 4-5 in his debut. HE hit 2HR a 2B and a 1B. His fist HR came off the first pitch he ever saw in the Majors. The Jays themselves hit 8HR and scored 17 in a complete slugfest.
On Sunday, Morrow throws a 16 strikeout, 1-0, no-hitter until there are 2 outs in the 9th inning. THe Hit was a border line error, but realistically it is only because Hill is so good defensively that he even got a glove on it, and the runner would have beat the throw anyway. Cito comes out to the mound, and the whole audience thinks he is going to take him out. HE asks Morrow, who has thrown over 130 pitches at this point, if he "has one more out left" in him. MOrrow says "yes", and Cito says "OK" and walks back to the dugout. This was about the 20th standing ovation Morrow had gotten that day. Morrow then completes his best game of his young carreer by getting his 17th strikeout to end the game.
What a weekend!!!!! A Sweep over one of the best teams in the American League, and two historical performances to seal the deal.
The Jays begin a series with Boston tonight. Another sweep and the Jays might get within sniffing distance of the Wildcard.
