Bit of a surprise, there. But a good one for a change.

Wow, really threaded the needle for this win.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Literally the luckiest win I’ve seen in a long time.

Everyone  a Jays fan  and players are thinking How did we lose,

Preserve tie in 9th, close out the win in the 10th.

That’s a Duran Duran game.

I don't like the word "lucky" either.  A W is a W is a W.  But we haven't won a game by more than 1 run so far in the month of June.  At this point with our offense, a one-run W is about the only kind of W to hope for.

What I like better is "repeatable," and recent history isn't giving me that warm feeling right now.  A bunch of things came together just the right way in this game, and they don't always.

True the margins right now are tiny. On the other hand during this 5 game losing streak the mood around here was not good including my frustrated ranting. When we do win, and especially against top teams which has been our MO this year, how's about we just enjoy it?

Vasquez has no business hitting the ball in the air.

He may need the Willie Mays Hayes solution- drop and give me 20! 😅
