Jays Fans Stay Positive After Ugly Loss

You can’t win ‘em all, Jays fans. But you can take a positive spin on the situation even though your team blew it in the ninth inning:

Shaun Marcum had a no hitter going into the 7th. He ended up going 7, giving up just 2 hits, 1 walk, with 6 K, but there was that wind blown 3 run homer to tie the game. That hurt, but the Jays got another run in the top of the 8th to give Marcum a shot at the win.

Vernon Wells had a great day too, a 2 run homer in the first and then a single in the 8th to get us another lead. 3 for 4 on the day. Hopefully that will slow down the boos for a day or two. Adam Lind was 3 for 3 with a homer and a walk. The only Jays to hit were Aaron Hill who had double and Alex Gonzalez who had a single. The rest of the lineup had ofers.

Scott Downs pitched a perfect 8th.

More positive thoughts for the Jays: not every game can be like this one. That’s impossible.
