Re: Taking Flight | A Toronto Blue Jays Dynasty

Brutal loss to the Royals man. At least you didn't get no-hit. Not a bad start to the season though. 9-3 isn't bad.

Re: Taking Flight | A Toronto Blue Jays Dynasty

Guthrie must be a beast because in the Royals Franchise he won #20 games and finished 2nd in the CY race. Now he almost throws a no-hitter against you.
