Jays Lose Due to Stinky Defense, Time to question Einstein as well as Darwin?

Yep, the bad news is true. Tampa Bay defeated Toronto last night 6-2 behind subpar pitching from Ricky Romero and bad defense by the team. After a 2-run home run by star Jose Bautista in the top of the 1st inning, Tampa Bay tied it up in the bottom half, first on a B.J. Upton popup that the Jays failed to catch: blame David Cooper for that. Afterwards, Ben Zobrist grounded to the shortstop who promptly threw it past Cooper into foul territory, allowing Tampa Bay to score their first run. After THAT, Johnny Damon hit a popup that THREE Jays players failed to catch! Talk about blowing a lead! So, after 1 inning, it was 2-2. In the fifth inning, Zobrist struck again with a solo homer off Romero to give Tampa a 3-2 lead. Later, in the 8th, Ricky was still on the mound when Johnny Damon slammed a 3-run homer to give Tampa a 6-2 lead and the final score. It's a good thing I shut off the TV after that. The Jays will now finish off the series today at 2 PM. Here's the sorry story. In other news...

I just read an exciting article about the speed of light today! This finding could doom Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity if it is verified, which may also prove problematic for evolution. Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) ran an experiment with neutrinos and they cooperated with the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy. They fired a total of 15,000 neutrinos towards Gran Sasso which, according to the article, is 500 miles away. These neutrinos reached the city 60 "nanoseconds faster than they should have." You'll have to read the article to understand exactly what this means, but it could be a stepping stone for us to reexamine everything. Here's the whole amazing story!

Also too, the Vancouver Sun posted a brief blurb about the finding. Read it here.

That's all for now. Have a good day!
