A surprising 0-2 start for the Blue Jays.
Yeah, the pitching was a bit shaky in the opener, but I'm not going to blame it for either loss.
Look who threw out the ceremonial first pitch last night:

Quite the home run derby yesterday. The Blue Jays hit 5 and the Indians hit 2 and I think all except one were second deck shots. Fortunately, the Jays prevailed 10-8.
Nice win against the dead sox. See if they can win their first series today.
It's not so much the loss but the actual beat down that's pleasant to see.
I have personally gone from dislike to indifferent. I played competitive baseball through high school as well as football. I stuck to football and couldn't really understand the love of baseball in this city. Now I totally understand, that Toronto is just a bandwagon city when it comes to sports, so I decided (if I may quote Phil Collins) I don't care anymore.
Go Argos, Go Leafs (in that order).
Don't care about any other pro sports teams.
I got a big chuckle out of the Blue Jays 11-1 loss in Detroit today - I have to feel a little sorry for the players, who have been sucked into the Rogers hype to sell tickets. I was a die-hard Blue Jays, starting at the snow covered CNE Stadium field in 1977, but recent events have turned me against them - it is so obvoius that Rogers has little interest in winning, and is only interested in selling tickets and in television ratings. The Rogers media agenda, manipulation, and hype have completely turned me off the Blue Jays after more than 30 years.
Now I get a good laugh when they are humiliated - next up - come on KC !
I don't know about Deerkeeper or others here, but Rogers make it almost impossible to be both an ardent Argo fan and a Blue Jays fan. You can't separate the Blue Jays from their ownership, and their media agenda - they force you into making a choice. I wonder how many Argo fans here still have strong feelings for the Blue Jays, and how many formerly were Blue Jay fans and are no longer ? A poll perhaps ?
