- #Jays go for a 3-game series sweep to start the season. Only other time that has happened was in 1992 at Detroit en route to a 6-0 start...by carson_mlbrsn via twitter 4/3/2011 4:39:06 PM

- I think so. I heard the echo - seemed kinda loud. RT @ecstaticvision: @Wilnerness590 was that you we just overheard in the Rogers Centre?by wilnerness590 via twitter 4/3/2011 4:53:28 PM
Another large walkup crowd. yfrog.com

- I see Davis is out of the lineup again today... Are there any worries that he could go on the DL, or do they expect him back Wednesday against the Athletics?
- @JackO Via: twitter.com
"JF hopes resting Davis today plus team day off Mon. will have him ready for Tues. night vs. his old mates from Oakland." - Hi! Lets get the brooms out!
- Rivera in the 2 hole? Definitely not Cito's Jays anymore. 3 games, 3 different lineups.
- Rivera hitting second? Wouldn't it have been better to see Hill there?
- Hey!
- Alright lets see Squints pitcha gem today!
- Hope Cecil has the velocity! He found it at the end of spring training..
- 88 on Cecil's 2nd pitch of game, in case anyone is wondering. #bluejaysby wilnerness590 via twitter 4/3/2011 5:08:26 PM
- For you attendance-obsessed supporters: over/under at 25,000 t.coby MikeCormack via twitter 4/3/2011 5:09:19 PM
- Cecil rings up lead-off man Denard Span, and the place erupts. It's so great to hear this kind of noise here. #bluejaysby wilnerness590 via twitter 4/3/2011 5:09:24 PM
- So long as he keeps his command he can stretch his arm out over the next few and pick up speed
- Well over 25k, will be closer to 35
- I'll take the over on the attendance - putting the Jays at a very respectable 100K + for the weekend
- Remember, @ShiDavidi and I are live-blogging the game over at bit.ly In-game Qs are better asked there. #bluejaysby wilnerness590 via twitter 4/3/2011 5:11:25 PM
- Hello
- 91 there for Cecil #bluejaysby wilnerness590 via twitter 4/3/2011 5:12:17 PM
- Jays attendance total after 3 home games in 2010: 69,098.
After first 2 games of 2011: 75,178 - STRUCK OUT THE SIDE!
- 91 - 3 K's....he's alright!
- Oh my goodness. What a rotation. And we're still missing arguably the best pitcher on the team (Morrow).
- Dont know if they jays pitching looks really good or if the Twins batters just look bad this series but its been a mismatch all weekend
- The only real concern about velocity would be how it effects Cecil between his ears
- What diminished velocity? Cecil strikes out the side in the first. Loving it
- 6 straight first inning K's for Jays pitching. That works!
- Wow, confidence builder there.
- RT @keithlaw: That inning from Cecil felt like vintage Ted Lilly.by MikeCormack via twitter 4/3/2011 5:14:09 PM
- I'm all the way up in North Bay and I don't have cable but I have my alarm clock balanced on my stove at just the right angle so I can get the broadcast. Go Jays!!
- That changeup is super nasty, right away.
- Cleveland only had 9,000 attendance yesterday after a 41,000 opening day crowd. I don't want to hear Jays fan complain about attendance anymore. It could be worse
- Any updates on Mcgowan the past two weeks
- Couldn't have been much better for Cecil in top 1 - Ks the side, 2 looking, on 13 pitches. Fastballs of 90 and 91. #bluejaysby wilnerness590 via twitter 4/3/2011 5:14:52 PM
- Hmm, is vintage Ted Lilly supposed to be a compliment?
- Ted Lilly, at his best, is the perfect #3
- This gamezone thing is pretty slick! Glad I finally figured out how to get here...
- They should have started McCoy as the leadoff batter and put Escobar at number two with arencibia at # 9 again
