This is getting crazy now.  With the exciting 7-6 victory against the Orioles, the Blue Jays now won nine straight games, just two short of the team record.

Obviously, the highlight of the night was Kawasaki’s first home run in the majors.  Almost as cool, was Jose Bautista’s salute to his teammate:

Actually, talking of Bautista, I’m glad to see how he dealt with Darren O’Day doing some trash-talking after striking him out:

Okay, so it didn’t show it there, but because of Bautista (fairly) calm reaction, the umpire responded positively by putting his arm around the slugger while discussing what happened.  Keep this up Jose and who knows, you may even start getting a few more calls going your way.

Someone who didn’t react quite as well to a situation was Orioles skipper Buck Showalter, who was ejected in the second inning after arguing a reversed call.  However, most of us were more interested and amused by Showalter then ejecting Angel Hernandez (who could barely keep a straight face) and the rest of the umpiring crew:

Let’s hope the rest of this weekend series is as fun and interesting for the Blue Jays and their fans.  In a positive sense of course.
