It's the Blue Jays Home Opener, an AJ Burnett is hopefully looking to redeem himself from his last start which undoubtedly scared a lot of Blue Jays fans. Much of our hopes are riding on Burnett being almost Halladay good, and these are the Royals.
Personally, I believe Burnett will step up and put together the best start we have seen from a Jays pitcher so far in 2007. I hope to see him pitching in the 7th inning and for BJ Ryan to show us that his blown save last week was a fluke.
What are your thoughts?

Yeah hoping that a.j shows us that last start of his was due to the low temperature. though I don't know about him hitting the seventh. It's a little too early season for them to start doing that. That's what I think though. A few games in we'll probably see them doing it. I may be wrong but we'll find out in about four hours now won't we?

I had school, but I showed up in the bottom of the 5th, in time to see him pitch, too bad he ruined his shutout with that homerun, but he left with a WHIP less than 1, and cut his ERA from 27 to probably 7 and change.
Other than that Home Run, I don't think a Royal made it to 3rd and only Mike Sweeney had hits.
