As of the 15th, the Jays were the favourites at +400 (KC 2nd at +500)

I would expect that on the next update, they are prohibitive favourites

Edit: those are from Bodog

Nope, I was looking for something more recent, I saw the record setting Yankees stuff, which was awesome.

Thanks, though.

Dion had the right blog though. Last weekend's report is here:

The Jays are still drawing a million plus for every game - and they are crushing the CFL's ratings in the process when the two go head to head.

Wow a fan fell out of the upper deck at the ATL-NYY game. They showed stadium folks doing CPR and that's all they've mentioned.

And the game just goes on as usual, very strange. The camera panned and quickly went away when you could see the fellow in blue doing chest compressions.

Initial reports are a drunk STH who was yelling at a Yankees player (I'm guessing A-Rod, as he was coming out to PH)

[jayswin]

How could you not suspend a game for that? If he fell from the upper deck to the first level, I'd imagine he died and they just haven't been officially told by EMS yet.

Was this beat down a sellout? Jays games are so fun nowadays.

Oh man, just terrible.

Yep, sixth in a row.

On another note, after watching some highlights it doesn't seem traditional media outlets are saying anything about that fan incident.

Just awful and tragic. Go to a baseball game and lose your life. Would be very tough for the many people who certainly witnessed it as well.

[Resolute 14]

Not the first time it's happened either. Last time was in Texas, iirc.

Yeah, a dad died in front of his son, awful stuff.

It's finally happened. Revere moves into the leadoff spot with Tulo moving to 5th. #bluejays

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Yay!! Hope this helps Tulo be a little more comfortable.

[Sylvanfan]

The other lineup was working. But I did wonder if Tulowitzky was struggling because of where he was hitting. Ultimately though I'd rather get back to the lineup where the big bopper are up in the order.

But I do know the human mind can trick you. Some people just feel more comfortable hitting in a certain spot even though it shouldn't make a difference.

[jschick88]

Goodbye! JD with a smash.

[KelVarnsen]

Mvp!

I never comment on jerseys, but I think these might be the most beautiful jerseys I have ever seen! I really like the red ones, but these white and red are just awesome!

I am definitely getting one of those.
