Ten Errors

Don't worry, Jays fans. The team might be trash this season, but the Blue Jays have a promising bunch of young talent in the minors!

...or not. Ten errors?! Ten errors?! Yes, my voice became high-pitched like Jim Mora when I said that. Who makes ten errors in a game? I don't think my team ever did that back in house league, and we had some pretty crappy teams (especially when I was at second base). My friends and I went to see the debut game of the Canadian Baseball League in 2004 and that featured a combined eight errors from both teams, but that was a fourth-rate quality of play. Syracuse is Toronto's Triple-A affiliate. They are the next-best thing to the Majors.

On the bright side, nobody threw a ball into the stands and killed anyone. Also, at least it wasn't eleven errors.

I lied. There is no bright side.

I've gotten more than ten errors in a single game of Bases Loaded, but that was on purpose. Also, because through a weird glitch, if you throw the ball to the player who has it, it can make him drop it and then if no one picks it up after a few seconds, you get charged with an error. I spent one inning amusing myself by doing that for five minutes.

Like in many cases, when kids do things wrong, it's funny. When the Jays do it, it's just sad.
