I am sorry to see Lind outrighted and not claimed by any one.
He seems like a "nice guy" and I hope he finds his stroke again and returns to the BJ's.
"'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again... "

Ouch! He had such a fall from grace in such a short time. I saw an interview with Farrell when he was first sent down and it was my impression that he didn't think much of Lind. Did anyone else see that interview and get the same impression? Now, I realize that Lind might have deserved to get sent down but to me the interview took a more personal turn like Lind had attitude issues.
Based on a vague blurb I read the term "clubhouse issues" being used. Very brief and the only time I read it.
Well, if that is so, then Lind could be one of those guys who worked his butt off (in 2009) to get himself a fat contact and then coast...
To me, on the many occasions I saw him sitting on the bench between innings on TV this season, he appeared flustered... and, mostly, sitting by himself...
I am sure there will be much more to come on the Lind story, so let's not jump to conclusions!

Perry, based on his growth as a defensive 1st baseman, I don't think he stopped working. While he still was a work in progress at first, he had made huge strides.
IMHO he just lost confidence at the plate. He looked lost. I hope he gets his confidence back and gets back to being the hitter he was 2009. If he is a pain in the clubhouse( and somehow I doubt that) he will still have trade value and a future in baseball, which will be a good thing for him as well as the Jays.
Red Sox this weekend and Jays need to win the series. This division is so close, Jays are 4th but just 2 games out with the leaders playing each other.
Sox are coming on so lets hope the Jays are ready for them. That series sweep against the slumping Orioles has to be a confidence builder.
GO JAYS!!!!

... I can't wait for Sunday. It'll be my first game since Olerud (Sp?) was batting .400 lol.
It's really nice to see the support our team has this year. I was a total stats junkie back in the day.... I am a huge fan again.
GO JAYS!
Can you give me your Yunel Escobar bobblehead?... I can't wait for Sunday. It'll be my first game since Olerud (Sp?) was batting .400 lol.

As good as the Jays has been, we are currently tied for last in the AL East. Bullpen is such a lack of weakness this year, when it is suppose to be one of our strength. Our SP was suppose to be one of our prime weakness, but it's looking pretty solid so far. We haven't had a dominant closer since BJ Ryan's first year with the Jays.
Insight is one thing, but it is up to the guys on the field to execute. Starting pitching hasn't been awesome but it wasn't the worst either. The starting pitching has kept them in for the most part this series. The bullpen (again) are the guys letting 1/2 run deficits turn to 3/4 runs. The hitters are also not coming up with timely hitting, and as usual the defense has cost them games.
Edwin just got nailed pretty good on the wrist. Hope is okay. That would really suck. That's the way things seem to go for the jays though. A guy having a career break out year and gets nailed at bat on the wrist.

Bard also hit Escober earlier in the game. Both near the head but thankfully missed. Bard was pulled after that as he was having real problems with his control.
Hutchison had a very good game as Jays won. Tough series against the White Sox coming up. Sox on a 9 - 1in their last 10 games.
