There's good news, though

Yes, the Blue Jays lost yesterday, but even amid the wreckage of Roy Halladay getting knocked around in the eighth, there were bright sides.

Scott Kazmir was a lot of fun to watch, even though he pitches for the freaking Devil Rays. D-Rays manager Joe Maddon officially cemented his status as baseball's first hipster manager. And finally, the last sign of spring was sighted: the first hilariously overblown Rod Black pre-game intro:

"This time of year, people usually watch The Masters (Footage of Augusta National Golf Club, Tiger Woods, Mike Weir, etc, etc.) But today, the Blue Jays have a master of their own on the mound (footage of Halladay)..."

And so forth. It's hard not to like Black, even though he's the most atrocious announcer I've ever heard; he seems like a genuinely nice guy and his intros are to die for. If only there were some way to get the intros without the ensuing three hours of clueless commentary...
