Jays Roundup - A Cloud Appears Above Your Head

Friday, April 09 2004 @ 10:06 AM EDT

A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.

Better late than never, as I always try to explain to my bosses.

1. First up, good friend of the Box Will Carroll has one of his famous Team Health Reports available for free today. The best part: Today's THR is on the Jays! Enjoy. (Thanks to Gitz for the heads up)

2. Another good friend of the Box Spencer Fordin of MLB.com is taking a well deserved Easter break. Fordin's put up a number of great articles this week, though, so check out the official site if you haven't been there in a few days.

3. In "Jays' offence raising questions: Barnett tracking `out front' outs — and there are lots" Allan Ryan of the Star points out that only two Jays teams have ever started 0-3: The 53-109 1979 Jays, and the 86-76 2003 Jays. Both teams won their fourth game, so we all hope history repeats itself. Well, maybe not the 53-109 part. That'd suck.

4. The Jays are "Searching for a kick-start". If a kick-start is anything like my keys, it's probably on top of the fridge.

5. Mike Rutsey wonders if the "Jays' youth [is] showing?". Possibly, but sometimes good teams start the year 0-3.
