The best Canadian pitcher in Major League Baseball is Rich Harden of Victoria. And we won't see him tonight. Harden will miss his start against the Jays because of a sore back. That's too bad because he's something else.
Harden: 1-0, 15 k's, 0.82 ERA in 2008
The good news: not having to face Harden gives the Jays a better chance to win.
Now, here we have a situation where the Jays must prove they're worthy of contenderhood. Three games against the A's, two of them must be won, a trio of victories would be perfect.
If the Jays stink out the joint, call it a wasted opportunity. If they grab two of three or a sweep, call it another step. A step towards something better than what we've had in Toronto for a long time.
Its early, yes. But there's never a bad time to win. Unless you're the Leafs.
