Yeah, pretty excited to watch the Jays this year. I do not expect much but I really like what Anthopoulos has done with this line up.

Big reasons for optimism.

At worst, a lot of our young players will get a lot of playing time, and hopefully develop into very useful players. Can't wait for 5

I'm a huge fan of this game, my favorite sports game - have just been getting into the online play this year and it's so fun. I got it this week and haven't noticed too much of an upgrade from last season but playing with the Jays rookies like Drabek and Aaron Cibia is fun.

If only I could clear out some of the older deadwood like E5 and Rivera in the online version. Maybe they'll surprise me this year and bring in some comp picks - sure as heck wouldn't have predicted Buck would do so well.

Good god... Kids singing the anthem is only cute when they can actually sing. This is embarrassing for the Jays.

I'm not a big fan of this huge emphasis on stealing. They've already been picked off twice, but both times saved by Minnesota mistakes. Not going to get that lucky very often.

Ill agree they lucked out on the first one, but not the second one. Snyder might not of taken that extra little step if there wasnt a balk.

If you're the Twins, that's about a bad a first inning as you can get... four runs allowed, blowing a rundown, an error, a hit batter, another walk, and a balk. Great energy and baserunning by the Jays!

Yeah, and the double steal ended up being an unnecessary risk as Bautista walked. I'm not sold on all this stealing, but at least it's fun to watch lol.

So far we've seen the Snider stache, a balk, a double steal, Davis avoiding a run down at 1st, and 4 runs.

Great to have AA come up and do an interview this early. Romero looks sharp

Looks like the Jays are doing great. I'm just starting to try to get into baseball. I already follow the NFL/CFL/NHL.

I think i should buy MLB for the PS3 to start learning player names, values etc.
