Armed and Ready

Description

Colby Rasmus is one of my favourite players on the Blue Jays team.
Don't think he should have shaved off his scruffy goatee though
... It brought his team some bad luck last night.
... They lost 16 - 0 against the Oakland A's!
... the worst shutout loss in franchise history!!!
... AND
... another one of their good players, J.P. Arencibia,
was injured when a foul ball fractured his right hand! :(

On that sad note ... Happy Thursday everyone!!!!! :)

Fabulous POV with excellent colors and clarity!!

Sorry to hear about Arencibia's injury. Tough to be a catcher.

Jays still ahead of the Red Sox.:( #10244968

Bobby ~ Thanks for the compliment! I'm almost finished my Baseball Series ... after that, I'll also be searching for things to post! Will probably go back to my archives. :)

David ~ Thanks for your great comment! It seems like all of the Blue Jays' best players are getting injured! ... A HURTING TEAM indeed! ... but as long as they're still ahead of the Red Sox, then it's okay! Ha! Ha! (Just joking, my friend!) :)
