Jays Roundup - I Wish I Was in Tijuana, Eating Barbequed Iguana

Thursday, February 26 2004 @ 07:54 AM EST

Sorry kids, no Pixies or Haircut 100 references today. I do have some Jays articles, tho.

1. Richard Griffin's "Blue Jays, Delgado down to final year" is a followup to another shorter article in the Star, stating that there will be "No contract talk for Delgado" until the end of the 2004 season.

2. The Star's Garth Woolsey talks about the Dodgers giving "One more last chance for Jose Canseco".

3. Spencer Fordin gets his take on the Delgado contract in "Delgado's focus remains on field".

4. In his notes section, Fordin has interesting shorter pieces on Jayson Werth, Greg Myers, and Alexis Rios.

5. Larry Millson of the Globe argues that "Delgado still key to success". It's Carlos Day in the Canadian Media!

6. The Globe has a couple of interesting non-Jays articles as well: Steven Brunt's "Young Cuban star's absence is noticed" on 21 year old Cuban Kendry Morales, and Jeff Blair's "Montreal enters new season a changed team".

7. Besides the generic article on Carlos Delgado's contract situation, the Sun's Mike Ganter has a piece "Turn Two for Woody: Jays shortstop gets another shot". Here's hoping that Woodward has an excellent season!

8. Fan Club favorite Frankie Catalanotto isn't forgotten in Ganter's other article "Cat comes back in far better shape".

9. My former neighbour Morris Dalla Costa details the injury problems of Jays 2001 8th round draft pick and London, Ontario native Sean Grimes. I've called a few of Sean's games behind the dish, so it'd be kind of cool for me if he made it, even if I was stingy with the high strikes!

10. My last foray into political discussion got me into trouble, so I'm a little reluctant to post that the "Leafs, Raptors, Jays gained from sponsorship".
