^^^Eckstein seems to care a lot, Rolen I haven't decided on yet (although he is hitting like a monster). You've also got Matt Stairs with a lot of heart, Doc, and the young bullpen guys really seem to care. I don't see lack of heart being an issue with this team, especially with the way JP has dealt with it in the past (IE- Shea Hillenbrand). I just wish he would hire a freaking manager with some heart. Should have gone after crazy Lou!

Watching right now, it seems the jays can't score runs properly. Too many missed opportunities, especially to beat the bosox. That is unless AJ can throw down, with no HRs (unlikely). At least they got a clutch 2 out hit to score the first run.

This team hurts to watch sometimes. My anti-gib attitude has been growing steadily for the past 18 months (although I still like JP, albeit less so after the Big Hurt saga).

Is Mickey Brantley still the hitting coach? I seem to remember him being replaced this season. If so, the guys might just be having a hard time adapting to the new coach's strategies and suggestions. If they aren't hitting with the above average numbers they are capable of by June, I am going to question the new guy (or Mickey If I'm crazy). HIT BOYS, HIT!

Random thoughts.

EDIT:
What do you guys think of Sam Costantino? His increased presence this year is beginning to get on my nerves. He was pushing it with that boxer, talking about how big he was...
