On a night when the Blue Jays seemed to have everything figured out, from the opposing starter to the opposing lineup, there were plenty of confusing signals emanating from the Jays clubhouse.
It began prior to last night's 10-1 laugher over the Texas Rangers when Jays manager John Gibbons told reporters that Troy Glaus, who had been pulled from Sunday's game with suspected patellar tendonitis in his right knee and was not in last night's lineup, also had a cortisone shot following the game.
Gibbons reiterated that after the game. Minutes later Jay Stenhouse, the Jays vice-president of communications, walked through the clubhouse and informed the media that Glaus had not had a cortisone shot.
Strange for sure, but it didn't end there.
Centre fielder Vernon Wells left last night's game after seven innings. With a comfortable lead, the move didn't raise eyebrows until Gibbons told reporters afterwards that his gold glove centre fielder had tweaked his hamstring.
That was news to Wells, who said it was just him, "getting old. I got to take a couple of innings off."
At the age of 27, that drew more than a few questioning looks and a few laughs from the media scrum around him.
