football,” said Snider who went 2-4 and scored a run to raise his spring average to .450.  Snider got a late start this spring suffering a left rib muscle strain from playing golf prior to the start of spring camp.

Toronto Blue Jays mascot “Ace” entertains the fans just before the first pitch on Sunday.  Then the home crowd was treated to a Jays 9-3 pounding of the Tampa Bay Rays.  The Jays pounded out 15 hits including two round-trippers.  One in the 3rd by Jose Bautista that was crushed to left, then one in the 7th that Eric Thames drove deep to right. 

From the look of things Ace "dreads" the Rays... He could not be reached for comment but RSEN is guessing he not a Manny Ramirez fan. (Photo By: Eddie Michels)
