Spencer Horwitz is the grandson of long time Mets PR director Jay Horwitz.

That's actually a joke. The two met while Spencer was playing for Team Israel and Jay was doing PR for the squad. Jay started jokingly calling Spencer his grandson on Twitter, and a lot of misunderstanding occurred. Despite the Blue Jays penchant for developing legacies, the two have no known relation.

Plus, I'm guessing that Jay possesses ZERO athletic genes in his bloodline.

Will Wagner, however, IS the son of one-time NYM Billy Wagner

Ryan Burrowes will be followed by Ryan Yarbrough as the bulk reliever

Current magic number to seal up that second Wild Card spot is down to 20.

Those unis are vile , especially with the green TD Bank patch

Rogers Centre had an artificial surface that was likened to a billiard table when it was built.
Have they changed the surface?
If they haven't, I'd warn Vientos and Alfonso to double up on their cups.

Man, Vladdy, Jr., is all kinds of slow.

The Jays should be up 1-0.

<whew>

Megill is not good for my blood pressure.

Much better 2nd inning for the Big Drip there

TYLORD

Good, the "opener" is out, maybe start hitting eh fellers ?

OE: Shows how much attention I'm paying, this is pitcher #3 apparently

Not sure if Tylor was pitching around Vladdy in his first AB but when the worst the batter can do is a solo HR with 8 innings to go then go ahead and pitch to him.
Putting him on wound up costing him a lot of pitches and almost a run or more.
Second time around he pitched to him -- in the same none-on/two-out situation -- and K'd him.

You really have to hate your fans to wear what the Jays are wearing.

Every time the camera cuts to Toronto manager John Schneider, I wonder what DJ Stewart is doing in the Jays' dugout.

Big knock there for JD, 1-0 lead for the good guys. Now I have to multitask between the Metsies and Jetsies

Need to do better than five hits (all singles) and two runs over the last 14 innings.

And it's not like we're making a lot of loud outs either.

Yeah it feels as though we're losing this game
