From what I recall, Bautista can grow a full beard in 24 hours.

Game time is listed as 3:07 on MLB.com. Absolutely no idea where the induction fits in.
On tv and radio they've been saying the induction precedes the game time. So, tuning in at 2:30 would be a good idea.

Manoah was supposed to really like Ryu. Ryu came back 20 pounds lighter...why doesn't Manoah?
It's called hubris, Manoah is younger than Ryu, he hasn't embraced the work ethic needed to be an elite pitcher. He partied in the off season and came back with his belly hanging over his belt and very poor cardio. Tragically Doc isn't around to show him the way, send him to Gary Roberts.

I spelled it wrong, Vengo anch'io (can I come) is an Italian post WWII song in which Italians reject both fascism and the royal family that supported them. Good for El Smellio should he loiter around Roger's Center.

Like Bella Ciao, it's never lost it's popularity.

Isn't Caleb Joseph a Baltimore Orioles catcher, did he ever play for the Jays?

He may lose his place in the broadcast booth to Dan Schulman ally Madison Shipman. Both work for ESPN.

He played 3 games for the Jays in 2020.

I still don't understand how a female softball player gets to be an MLB analyst on a national broadcast over a former MLB player, even if he was a marginal player.

By that logic Hazel Mae shouldn't be working with the Jays, she was never a player. I like her, she sparkles next to the nerdy schnoz crusher Jamie Campbell.

I don't consider Hazel's role to be the same as Shipman's role. She's more of a reporter(and a good one) than a game analyst.

Because guys in the 18-49 demographic who watch ESPN would rather see Madison read the cue cards, instead of Caleb. The dude played in 3 post season games, all in 2014, so most viewers have never heard of him. Madison has a great rack:

Great racks sell lots of beer.

Alek Sanchez, Aaron Sanchez was supposed to have 2 Cy Youngs by now and still be the jays ace. He's 30 and out of the league. Every player wants that 1 life altering contract, manoah may never get it.

Look at bunting, 27 or 28 and got his probable one and only contract but should be set for life now.

On the FAN 590 this morning they were speculating about who should be the next inductee to the Blue Jay level of excellence. Roger Lajoie suggested Jerry Howarth and I couldn't believe he's not already in it. What are they waiting for?

Josh Donaldson is a class act. I didn't know Gibby has his own podcast, he and Donaldson can reminisce about cologne.

Warning: If your squeamish don't read this.

Jerry Howarth retired from the radio booth in 2018, at the time he didn't know if he would survive prostate cancer. Since then he's had his cancerous gland removed and appears to be in remission. Definitely he should be on the Circle of Excellence. I hope that happens soon, maybe he can sit in with Dan and Buck for a few games.

For the time being he's chillin at his cottage installing patio lanterns.

I heard this on YouTube this morning. Popped up on my for you page. Great interview. Donaldson is such a technical student of hitting mechanics.

I'd rather he sit in with poor Ben Wagner. Ben has paid his dues, what a thrill it would be for him.

A cute little story. Back in the day Gord Stellick and Don Landry hosted the FAN 590 morning show. It was a joy to listen to, partly because of their sense of humour. Landry could do some spot on voice impersonations, including Howarth. At the time there was a story in the news that spread like wildfire about a lady who successfully sued Mcdonalds because she burned herself with their coffee that was too hot. Landry mocked the news story pretending to be Howarth in a Mcdonalds drive thru. He buys the coffee and puts it on the dashboard. As he's driving the coffee is swaying back and forth. Landry impersonates Howarth doing a play by play of the coffee dangerously swaying back and forth as he drives. Finally, the coffee tips over into his lap and Landry(as Howarth) exclaims "...and there she goes.....all over my lap". I laughed so hard that morning.

Jerry was a class act all the way. He was great with kids. Always had time for them.

Pearson has been recalled again from AAA. This kid better be careful, or he’s going to be the odd man out very soon.

It's bush of the New York Wankers not to allow Josh Donaldson to come to this event. He would have said Vengo anch'io and the fans would have shouted Si Tu Si. I hope we open a great a great big can of whoop ass on them when we play them again. I can understand why Alex Sanchez didn't want to return. The gay community took a likin to him and called him "the face that launched 1000 gay ships". Is Marco Estrada coaching somewhere?

As for Jerry Howarth, the spoof of him saying Marco Scutaro on the Tim and Sid Fan radio show was hysterical. Lindsey Dunn looks like Physics Girl.
