Just a general post

Somehow the days are going faster to the ponit that when I'm about to post an entry of somesort, it's already late and I would become tired. Go figure. However, just a couple of things which are on the mind and are awaiting to be put up here.

Tonight was the start of the mini-series against Philly for hte Leafs. They needed four points from these games. Thus far, 2, but have given up 1 due to the game going into overtime. Being down 3-0 in the 3rd, coming all the way back to tie it then winning in OT....I guess it's a good feeling for the Leafs' players but the overall goal of winning in regulation was missed. So a definite must-win will be tomorrow night in Philadelphia.

The outdoor game looks to be a staple on the's schedule for basically for the foreceable future. New York, Chicago or Detroit are good destinations, but in baseball stadiums rather then NFL football stadiums.

If it's Detroit:
Play it at Comerica Park. That'll draw plenty of fans. Involve Toronto and Detroit. Common rivals from the Original Six in an Outdoor Game? Why not! Windsor's divided 50/50 between Wings and Leafs fans to begin with. It'll be a huge success!

If it's in New York:
Rangers, Islanders, Devils. PLay it in Yankee Stadium, which is being talked about. Not a bad idea, yet a funny way to send off Yankee Stadium in 2009. To be the last sporting event there before demolition. A hockey game? You'd think it was baseball!

I'm concerned about Gustavo Chacin. Last year, surgery. Year before that, more surgery. How about this year? If he's still injured, I don't know what the Jays will do, but offer Jesse Litsch the 5th spot in the rotation.

The Jays rotation:
1) Roy Halladay
2) A.J. Burnett
3) Dustin McGowan
4) Shaun Marccum
5) Jesse Litsch

The only drawback that I see is that there isn't a lefty in this rotation. In a key series, having a lefty in there would make the opposition's batting lineup sometimes weaker and less powerful. J.P, might as well look for a lefthanded starter.

More Jays news that I heard from today was Cassey Janssen, a big cog in the bullpen from last year, was experiencing shoulder pain when throwing in the bullpen. Uh-oh. We'll just hope for the best.
