Well now it's being reported that Scott Rolen (AKA Troy Glaus) will be sidelined till the middle of May...the middle of May?!? Really?!? Come on! I know he had surgery to fix his finger, but it seems like he is not even putting in the effort to make a speedy recovery. We need his bat and his glove. Getting Rolen was another attempt to move this team further in the division and making a playoff appearance, but it just seems like the Jays are getting shafted again. This may sound crazy but by the time he comes back the season could already be decided. Now I know the fate of the team is not suppose to be rested on Rolen's shoulders, but he was suppose to be a crucial building block for this team.
O well...I guess we will be seeing more of Johnny Mac's hot glove....
And as all of you should know by now...the season starts on Monday with the Jays wrapping up spring training this weekend versus Philly.
I will admit I only saw a bit of the games this March. Canada really doesn't show many spring training games with the NHL and NBA heating up towards playoffs. But I did see Reed Johnson pop up or something...I don't remember. Honestly I don't really pay attention to how the Jays are doing during this time. I never really care to how their record is. Is this bad of me? You hear all the time that pre-season games don't matter but is this really true. Frank Thomas seemed to struggle through March...will this reflect how his season turned out? Only time will tell I guess.
Anyways...I have taking the day off Monday. Which is really annoying because I shouldn't have had to. But with the game starting at 12:00 my time I guess I really had no choice. (Well I did have a choice but this is really important to me.) I'm still confused as to why they chose such an early start time for the season opener but whatever I'm still going to grab a beer and chill for the afternoon.
Should be fun...should be....
