Mother Nature Is A Fucking Asshole



Holy fucking shit. It's bad enough that we had the rain delay in Boston two weeks ago, locking in a Jays road trip of 8 games in 7 days while the Red Sox had the Thursday off. It's bad enough that the opener in Chi-Town was similarly rained out, so we were looking at 8 in 6. But to take away my Friday baseball? Fuck off, weather patterns. Fuck off, Hurricane season. And most importantly fuck off Jays Talk callers for making me want to tear my hair out during the delay.

So where do we go from here? If we stick with Purcey on the hill tomorrow, we face the ominous possibility of either the notoriously inconsistent rookie on 3 days rest or turning to one of Scott Richmond or John Parrish. On the other hand, we could keep Burnett on Saturday, hold Purcey back to Monday and gamble on short-rest throwing Burnett three starts in a row. Either way, not ideal.

Update: And just as I post this, the rain delay has essentially ended. Purcey-Crisis Averted! Fuck 'em up, boys!
