Toronto Blue Jays: Seven-Run Seventh!

Bob McCowan said it best: "This stinks of '92 and '93". You just can't turn off the TV or radio because the Jays might get the comeback!

And that was exactly what happened against the Cleveland Indians. After blowing a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning, Toronto answered Cleveland's four runs to score seven times in the seventh alone.

This was capped off with back-to-back home runs from Adam Lind and Scott Rolen that gave the Jays 9-6 and 10-6 leads respectively. They never looked back as they split the series with the Indians.

What a pleasure to listen to the game by Howarth and Ashby, with out of town updates from Mike Wilner while driving around suburban Oakville today, promoting the crap out of Ontario Safety Surfacing (Rubaroc).

I went something like 15 for 16. I'm better than the major leagues.

The Jays are now on this nice roll, having won four of five, having posted the American League's best record by a mile at 19-10, and doing it with young arms. Wilner emphatically pronounced that teams with good young pitching are a recipe to fall off, but the difference between those teams and Toronto is that Toronto has reinforcements.

They have so much pitching either on the disabled list or ready to come up from the minors should others falter. Look at Ray, today with Brett Cecil (6 IP, 1 ER), Scott Richmond (Rookie of the Month), Ricky Romero (before he got hurt), and finally Brian Tallet (a reliever turned starter who no-hit the Indians over six-and-one-third).

Also, overshadowed by today's amazing come-from-behind win (the Jays are now 8-4 when the opponent scores first versus 11-6 when they score first), was the fact that Scott Richmond, the North Vancouver native, went a perfect 3-0 in April and won American League Rookie of the Month honours!

That's how good Scott Richmond has been, and for April, he's been king of the hill!

The Blue Jays are simply doing unbelievable things, and McCowan is dead bang on in saying that this does stink of '92 and '93. Those teams were just unreal, and the 2009 Jays are more of the same.

The Yankees series is going to be absolutely ridiculous when Toronto returns to town.
