2011 Blue Jays/MLB Thread

I don't know how many changes to that design were done before, but the site that posted that logo had a link to a comparison:

Isn't that just the old Blue Jays logo?

It's very similar, but, there are definitely some differences - like, the baseball background being removed, and some of the lines being tightened. It's a modern looking version of the original Blue Jays logo.

I suppose. I don't know why, though, if you were clearly going for aping the logo with some nostalgia value you wouldn't just go with the logo with some nostalgia value.

Merchandising. They retain the ability to sell the true retro jerseys, but also have ones with the new, slightly different logo as well.

Well, you could still have new merch with an old logo. Case in point every new Red Sox, Mets, Indians, etc jersey.

By far the best news I've heard all day.

It looks legit. Usually these "rumours" never amount to much but I'm sold. Not bad looking either.
 
Really like the new logo.  Love the old feel to it. 

I just really hope that red isn't going to be a primary colour on the new jerseys as been suggested. 

Time to get a Lawrie jersey. :)

Watch for a red alternate. The "BLUE" Jays front office aren't that stupid to make red the primary colour are they?

Make that 2 very nice starts in a row for Morrow now... Way to finish strong!

I particularly liked these quotes from Morrow:

"The electric Morrow shut out the Yankees over eight innings in his previous start, and now the Rays for seven. He believes he has finally discovered the secret to being an elite starter: It?s max effort all the time.

'That?s definitely the approach I?ll be taking from here on out,' Morrow said after winning a career-high 11th game. 'The last couple of games have proved what I need to do. Just be aggressive on every pitch. When you take a little bit off it just makes your breaking stuff a little bit sloppier and give them a better chance to hit the fastball.'

'It?s a little frustrating to come to that now, but when I was going through that stretch, all you can do is learn from it. I realize now that?s the approach I have to take.'?

Certainly has the right mindset.  He has all the tools to be a very good starting pitcher.  Hopefully he can carry it over into next season and hits the ground running from spring training.

Yeah. It's nice to know anyway that you still probably have a guy worth continuing to mold in to a mid to top of the rotation starter. It's not a postition I think the Jays can afford to still be looking for other options right now.
 
So why were the three runs in the 8th off Romero earned (at least according to yahoo)? If not for the errorby McCoy, the inning would have been over. Anybody know?

Yahoo only has Romero as having given up 1 earned run, so, my guess is was a mistake on their part.
 
As much as I feel it's in the Jays' best interest to lose the rest of their games in the hope that they 1st round climbs into the protected range of the draft, it's really difficult to watch.
 
Boston making things interesting, coming into the 9th trailing Baltimore 6-2. One run is already in, two runners on, Lowrie at the plate as the tying run. Tampa has already won.

Edit: Orioles hang on - tie for the wild card! Wow.

Also, Atlanta has lost, St. Louis down two against Houston.
 
This might be the most unusual piece of MLB news I've heard. ESPN Chicago reports that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen traded to the Marlins for 2 minor-leaguers.
