Miked Up!

I attended the Jays game on Saturday where the Doc should have won his 14th game of season against the lowly Cleveland Indians, however the Jays bats were quite quiet and once again and the blue birds dropped one and lost 5-2. The Jays record while I'm in attendance is now 8 wins, 2 losses this year.

Bright side #1: Before the game I enjoyed breakfast at the legendary Yonge Street location of Over Easy with my number 1 fan. This is quickly becoming a tasty game day tradition!

Bright Side #2: Before the game I met Superblogger Mike Wilner, who is also part of the Jays' broadcast team. (You may know him from on-air features such as the 'Home Hardware Out of Town Scoreboard' or 'The Blue Jays This Week'.)

Mike seemed genuinely surprised when I asked to take a photo with him, and upon checking out my jersey from 1993 he asked 'How come you don't have a player on the back?'. My reply to that was that I'm a fan of the team, but not particularly of any player specifically. If I was to get a player on the back it would be a retired Blue Jay such as George Bell or David Stieb. Out of the current lineup I'd most likely get AJ Burnett however he probably won't be a Jay for much longer, and has recently shunned the fans.

Anyway, here is my photo with the Mike, and his mike (hopefully he'll check out my Impact Stat and give me some feedback!)



Thanks Mike!
