Subject: Blue Jays @ Twins

Playing just .500 on the road is NOT going to get the job done, but our fetish for chokes & gophers is often just too much to overcome....
 
 
Game 1: There were 19 gophers in the series, but just one in this contest and - amazingly - Jimmy Key didn't allow it.  Nor did Key allow much of anything, just two unearned runs in Toronto's 8-2 win.  Bad defense was the order of the day for both teams, as only 3 of the 10 runs in the game were earned.  Lloyd "Super Slump" Moseby contributed the only home run, and had 4 RBI.
 
 
Game 2: Minnesota's Jeff Reardon may appear to be a candidate for the Joe Sambito Award, but the Blue Jays taught him a lesson today about what *professional* chokers look like.   The Jays racked up 7 runs and scored in 5 of the 9 innings - and allowed the Twins to come back each and every time that we scored.
 
Although Reardon entered the game with the lead and did in fact blow the save (only his second BS of 1987), Toronto re-tied the game 7-7 in 9th off of Keith Atherton.  Enter Tom Henke.  One batter faced, one game-losing gopher, thereby earning one "Perfect Sambito".
 
Our choking is not limited to the Toronto bullpen; LOB: TOA - 11, MNA - 3.  No team in the majors gets runners to third base with less than 2 outs, and then strands them, more often than the Jays and we were in typical form today.
 
 
Game 3: Dave Stieb took his first defeat of 1987 today, and he sure worked hard to earn it.  Stieb was gophered 5 times, FOUR of them after two were out in an inning, and even though MNA's Frank Viola wasn't exactly unhittable the Blue Jay offense simply couldn't keep up with the surgical gopher attack.  Final score: 9-6.
 
 
Game 4: Jim Clancy endured one bad inning (just one bad pitch, actually) and it took all the effort we could muster but Toronto finally came back from that to register a 4-3 win.  Clancy's one mistake was to Randy Bush, who had zero home runs in 1987 prior to this series and now suddenly has three to his credit.  A leadoff homer by Tony Fernandez in the 7th provided the winning margin.
