So, it's kinda like that New Year's Resolution...

You know the one...you promise yourself you're gonna do it, and you never really do?

Well, that's me with updating more frequently. Honestly, I've just been enjoying watching the guys to much, playing with my baseball team and a little busy to update.

That stops now. There's only a month and a 1/2 left of the season. I'm starting to freak a little. That's right...I'm starting to freak. Once baseball season is done (whenever the Jays' season ends and then the World Series) I have to live through hockey season. At least I'm trying to plan to go to Spring Training again. I'm already working on my mom to go...wish me luck.

But now, back to my Boys of Summer.

I don't think a somewhat long homestand could have come at a better time. Sure, they've only gone 4-2 (should be 5-1, stupid errors on Sat.), but it's still good. They're still above .500 and not completely out of it in the Wild Card.

As much as this season might be a disapointment to some, there are some really awesome things that I will forever cherish. I'll touch on them more as the season wears down (tear!), but I will say...Shaun Marcum, Casey Janssen, Jeremy Accardo, and John McDonald especially have been incredible surprises. It's to the point that you don't want to expect them to perform that way all the time, but you can't help it. They've all now set a new norm to be expected. Here's hoping the Jays do sign Mactastic Johnny back.

Props for Johnny for admitting he's a baseball dork. You know VDub only said it out of love. But Johnny...aren't we all? Aren't we all...

Last point before I go...how awesome was it that Frank Thomas (for all intensive-purposes) had a sac bunt yesterday? Yeah...pretty frickin' awesome.

The Jays start the last series of their homestand against the Athletics tonight. Having gone 2-1 in Oakland last month, I'm expecting the Jays do to at least that, if not sweep, this time around. Shaun Marcum takes to the mound against Joe Blanton. Look for Marcum to try his best Doc impersonation again, after admitting he tried to emmulate Doc in his last start. He's a smart man, that Shaun Marcum.

Enjoy the game, and try to stay dry.
