Doubleheader on Day One

So, I think all Jays could agree that we got much more than we bargained for on Opening Day this year. Make that about 7 innings more.

Our boys in blue set a new record for longest Opening Day game ever (go boys!). Plus, JP proved that missing a sign doesn't always lead to disaster.

I think this not only builds off the great spring the Jays had, but also goes back to their extra inning record from last season and the sense that they weren't giving up easily in all those games. At no point did there seem to be any sense of rushing or pressing. The guys just put their heads down and went to work, and what a wonderful job they did.

Honest, awesomest Rock Ons to...
- the bullpen (I think things are going to be okay there this year...)
- JP for bringin' a new level to his defensive skills from last season
- Farrell and co. for making some great moves tonight.

Enjoy Good Friday or just Friday in general. At first I was a little sad for the tease of today's game followed by an off day, but a 16 inning, gritty game I think will satisfy me 'til Sat.

I think. JaysGirl5

P.S. As for the "new" unis - they looked amazing on TV today. But for the most part it just seemed like the team's been wearing them all along, especially the blue hats. I know they wore black last season, but seeing the blue back where it should be today kinda pushed those old unis out of my mind.
