Sounds like it was a fantastic game; **** me for having a job.
Here's to many more!
Feel free to make the next game thread if you so desire. I'm no good with graphics, so if you have a format in mind, be my guest.

We need to rethink the way we do the game threads, we can't take the Raptor model because we have too many players, maybe an overhead of the field with everyone in their positions, I'll try and make something for the next game thread (though i'm hoping this never happens since we'll be having a 162-0 season)
So excited!! I'm going to throw up a daily papers thread right now see if we can't get that tradition started here

I was watching the game at fitness. I had to fight for the remote lol because some of the girls were watching soap operas and none of the guys liked baseball.
Needless to say the blue jays game was on in my fitness class.
Anyway great game. Would have liked doc to get the win but id rather have a win than nothing.
And our offense looks real sexy. Other than clayton of course.

FixedI've said it before, Zaun can only hit lefties, yet for some reason our management says "well, he's better against righties" which is absolute BS his number are MUCH better against lefties.
While that might have been seomwhat true the past 2 seasons, Zaun's career OPS splits are pretty close. 748 vs LHP and 724 vs RHP. That's not considered a huge difference. And he was/is definitely stronger than Molina was vs RHP.
Either way folks, let's not start overreacting to 1 game. It's a long season.

Nurse is below average at best.

I dont get how so many people believe in the raptors,they have zero to chance to win it all.

This needs to be emphasized, especially for people who don't follow baseball that much. This is a long season. The Jays (and every team) are going to have stretches where they won't hit. They'll have stretches where they won't pitch. And vice versa. Hopefully when everything evens out the Jays will be in the 90+ win territory, but it's a LONG season. Overreacting over single games is unneccesary.
With that said, good win today. When it became a battle of the bullpens, I thought the Jays had no shot against Detroit, but we got excellent production from Janssen and Frasor. I'm glad to see the team using Janssen for multiple innings. It will make his eventual transition to the rotation much easier (if/when League sorts himself out). I actually felt Janssen should have pitched against Casey, since he had retired the first 7 batters he faced rather harmlessly, but Gibbons tends to overdue the match-ups, so we'll just have to get used to it.

How come there is no game tomorrow tho? I can't recall the last time I saw a day break in between games in the same series. Is it because it was the season opener or something?
It's very common in the first week of the season. MLB likes to space the season openers out over two or three days. A lot of teams will play on either the Monday or Tuesday of opening week, but not both. Last year I think the Jays were off on the Monday and played Tuesday (but I could be wrong, that was a year ago after all!
)
Oh, and I have to agree - very nice way to start the year! I kept checking the score on mlb.com every so often at work - can't wait to actually catch a game!
