Jays get a wake-up to open the season

The Jays did not expect to go 162-0 and realized that losing open day was a possibility but it still a not so nice wake-up call to the Jays 25 man roster and so players did not expect what they got: Like R.A. Dickey who in s game where he is down 2-1 in the fifth inning gives up a long fly ball to Asdrubal Cabrera and it carried and it carried and it carried into the Indians bullpen as Dickey throws up his hands like that real happened. Cabrera himself as he hits tthe ball felt like he got under it and was talking to himself as he was leaving the batter's box so nether that it was gone but the two-run homer put the Indians up 4-1 and that would be how it would stay. Adam Lind in the third inning of a 2-0 game and the bases juiced and no outs hits the ball on the screws but Asdrubal Cabrera dived and started a double play that scored the Jays run of the game. It also started 20 straight Jays being retired in order as Justin Masterson struggled to get his first 8 outs of the game as he gave up 3 hits and 4 walks over the first 3 plus innings and throw 64 pitches before getting the double play and after throw 39 pitches to pitch another 3.1 innings of no-hit ball for the Indians. J.P. Arencibia got a rude awakening as he allowed thee pass balls all with a runner on first setting up a double play and Dickey would get that ground ball and one of Dickey's two runs in the second inning was unearned and he gave up 4 runs (3 earned) on 5 hits and four walks and a wild pitch over 6 innings with 4ks. Jose Reyes got a rude awakening in the bottom of the first as he was standing on first base with a walk on four pitches and Melky Cabrera lined out to Asdrubal Cabrera who doubled up Reyes at first as he was on his way to second on contact and Bautista followed with a single and Edwin got hit by the next pitch and the bases would of been juiced for Lind again but with 2 outs he got k'd to end the inning. So lets hope that Brandon Morrow's fast ball is a wake-up call to the Indians Tom Mehegan
