Jays go for Sweep

Last night was another fun one at Lil' Rodge.
Marcum is continuing to pitch well and the Jays somehow managed to eek out a win without generating a lot of hits.
The highlight of the night was without question Aaron Hill's thievery of home.
We were sitting right behind the plate and I literally did a double take when he started sprinting away from third.

A drunken fan, wearing a Yankees hat and a Canadian Snowmobile jacket (go figure), started shouting "SOUTH BRONX" when the Yanks tied it up for the second time. Fans started shouting back "T-DOT" and other pro-Toronto exclamations which prompted him to do this weird swoop motion with his hand around his hat then grab his crotch. It was an interesting move. I'm going to adopt.

Tonight it's a battle of the 1-1 rookies. Jesse Litsch takes on Tyler Clippard. Both guys had great debuts followed by rougher second outings. Litsch has had the luxury of a third start that ended up a no-decision.

Not sure why Troy Glaus wasn't in the line-up last night until the top of the ninth.
Seemed like he could have pinch-hit for Royce Clayton earlier in the game when we were looking to take the lead. Hopefully we'll see him tonight as having a bottom half of the order that features Phillips, Clayton, Lind and Johnny Mac doesn't really strike fear into the hearts of the opposing team.

When you did your double take, did you also go "Bwuuuuuuuuuh?!?!?"?
