Win streak ends at 5

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays' surging offense came to a standstill when matched up against one of the best pitchers in baseball.

CC Sabathia held Toronto in check for almost his entire outing with a dominating performance in front of 45,606 fans at Rogers Centre on Saturday afternoon.

The Blue Jays' winning streak was snapped at five games, thanks in part to the eight quality innings from Sabathia in a 4-1 loss to the Yankees.

Oh no...son of a bitch

TORONTO -- You could almost hear the collective hearts of Blue Jays fans drop on Thursday night as Jose Bautista writhed on the ground in considerable pain after turning his right ankle while sliding into third base.

The 30-year-old slugger was running into a routine forceout in the fourth inning when he slid feet-first and caught a cleat in the dirt beside the bag.

He immediately left the game for X-rays, which came back negative. He will be re-evaluated on Friday morning before likely going for an MRI to determine if there is any muscular damage.

Jose Bautista is the best player the past 2 years

CLEVELAND -- Jose Bautista's outstanding start to the 2011 season is second to none in Blue Jays history.

One swing on Saturday night made sure of it.

Facing Josh Tomlin in the third inning, Bautista hit a solo home run into the left-field bleachers at Progressive Field, giving him 30 for the season.

Not satisfied with that number, Bautista broke a 4-4 tie in the 10th inning with his 31st shot, also into the left-field bleachers. That blast proved to be the gamewinner.

Bautista is the first Blue Jays player to hit 30 homers before the All-Star break, which he did in his 83rd game. His first shot broke the record of 29, set by George Bell in 1987 in his 84th game. Bell finished with 47 long balls that year, a career high.

Bautista went deep 54 times last season, setting a team record.

Bautista is the first player to hit at least 30 homers in the first half of the season since Alex Rodriguez did it in 2007.

Snider gets called up from AAA Las Vegas and gets rolling fast

Travis Snider recorded three doubles and a pair of RBIs as the Blue Jays roughed up right-hander John Lackey en route to a 9-7 victory over the Red Sox on Monday afternoon at Fenway Park.
Snider, who was recalled from Triple-A before the game, reached base four times and recorded a run. He was helped out by second baseman Aaron Hill, who homered and notched a pair of RBIs.
Toronto chased Lackey before the end of the third. The right-hander allowed seven runs on nine hits while striking out two over just 2 1/3 innings.
Center fielder Rajai Davis opened the scoring for the Blue Jays in the first. He doubled to lead off the game, stole third and came around to score on an error by Kevin Youkilis.
Lackey was dealt the final blow in the third. He allowed three consecutive hits to open the frame. Adam Lind and Hill delivered RBI singles, while Snider added a two-run double in what ended up being Lackey's final batter.

Mike Vick ,just win and ppl will forget anything

Nike re-signs Vick to endorsement deal
Fri Jul 1, 12:45 PM ET


Michael Vick, who has done a remarkable job of repairing his image since being released from prison in 2009, has another big step in his comeback.

CNBC reported Friday that Nike, which had ended Vick's contract in 2007 after he admitted his involvement in a dogfighting ring, has re-signed the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback to an endorsement deal.

“Michael acknowledges his past mistakes,” Nike spokesman Derek Kent told CNBC. “We do not condone those actions, but we support the positive changes he has made to better himself off the field.”

Vick's image has improved, in part, because of numerous public service appearances and speaking engagements regarding animal abuse outreach. His comeback accelerated dramatically during the 2010 season, when he became the Eagles' starter and re-established himself as one of the league's top stars.

In 12 games, Vick set career bests in completion percentage (62.6), touchdown passes (21), passing yards (3,018) and passer rating (100.2) while leading the Eagles to the NFC East championship. He threw only six interceptions and showed his old magic as a runner, putting up 676 yards and nine touchdowns, while earning his fourth Pro Bowl selection.

"Michael is excited to have a long-term and strong relationship with Nike,” Vick's agent, Joel Segal, told CNBC.

Nike had dropped Vick as a spokesperson in August 2007, canceling the release of his fifth signature shoe, the Air Zoom Vick V. At that time, the company released a statement saying that cruelty to animals was “inhumane, abhorrent and unacceptable.”

CNBC reported that this may be the first time in the history of sports marketing that an athlete has been dumped and then re-signed.

who gets to decide what movies we get to watch?

I'm still mad that the movie "white men can't jump" never came to yarmouth..i was so pumped to see that movie in 1992..the 15 year old me couldnt wait to see that movie..and it never came.
We went to see the movie "Hall Pass",it was pretty good,but i thought that the boobs and black penis was a bit much for a few ppl in the seats that night..a few kids were there behind us..one of them was maybe 10 years old...so someone decided that black cock,and naked Boobies is ok for kids,but the movie Black Swan was too much for us in yarmouth,a academy award nominated film with lesbian scenes was too much for us..but its totaly ok for kids to go watch a rude with alot of swearing and close-ups to a penis...watching Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman having love scene cant be that bad to watch.

The Kings Speech won the academy award,and i wanted to go see that one,but it was only here for a week...but Beverly hills chiuahua was here for a month.

i think if a movie wins a oscar,the theater should bring it back so you can get a chance to see it.maybe if Black Swan or The Kings Speech had more boobs and huge black cocks it would of played for longer.

For you Jays fans...Morrow on DL

TAMPA, Fla. -- Blue Jays starting pitcher Brandon Morrow will miss the start of the regular season because of inflammation in the flexor muscle of his right elbow.




Morrow felt discomfort in the elbow during his Sunday bullpen session. He approached Toronto's medical staff with the news and had an MRI on Monday.



The examination revealed inflammation, and though Morrow felt like he was still able to pitch, the Blue Jays decided to take a cautious approach. He will be placed on the 15-day disabled prior to Opening Day, retroactive to Tuesday, and is expected to miss just one start.
