Baseball Baseball

The newest issue of Sports Illustrated has the pride of Toronto, Cincinatti first baseman Joey Votto, on its cover. What a wonderful sight that was when I looked into my mail yesterday. Read the article on him too, it was really really interesting!! It's so great to see Votto doing so well right now, batting .326 with 32 home runs and 91 RBIs.

Speaking of big sluggers, how about Jose Bautista? He's up to 42 homers now, 8 ahead of Albert Pujols, who is second in the majors. Bautista's also up to 99 RBIs now. Where would the Blue Jays be without him? Could he be a potential MVP candidate?

Jays have won two straight but barely...phew. Last night, Kevin Gregg blew another save, allowing the tying run to score in the top of the 9th. Thank goodness Aaron Hill came through in the 11th with a walk off single. Today, it was Scott Downs' turn to put the fans on the edge of their seats. In the top of the 9th, Detroit scored three runs to close the gap to 5-4 before Kevin Gregg shut the door on the Tigers.

Hoping to go to one more ballgame before school starts.

Can't wait for the US Open on Monday!!
