2011 MLB Team Preview: Toronto Blue Jays
The AL East Division was tough enough when it housed the two best teams in baseball, the Red Sox and Yankees. Then, in the last few seasons, the Tampa Bay Rays jumped onto the elite list, which made baseball life in Toronto only harder.
What is so frustrating is that the Blue Jays would have made the playoffs many times if they played in any other division.
What is so frustrating is that the Blue Jays would have made the playoffs many times if they played in any other division.
In 2010, the Blue Jays won 85 games, and in four of the last five seasons prior, have won 80+ games. That amount of W’s has been enough to make the playoffs many times and even clinch a division title outside of the AL East.
For the Blue Jays, even with their major league-leading home run total of 257 from last season, heading into 2011 things look to be the same…
For the Blue Jays, even with their major league-leading home run total of 257 from last season, heading into 2011 things look to be the same…
Anything is possible.
Blue Jays fans blamed missing the postseason on unfortunate circumstances for a darn good team, until the Rays proved that theory wrong.
The Positives
With the sad departure of skipper Cito Gaston, the Jays hired Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell, which was a great move. The Jays have a young pitching staff with a lot of potential and could flourish under Farrell’s guidance.
Trading ace Roy Halladay prior to last season was not a popular move, but the starters finished with an ERA of 4.30, which topped the Yankees' 4.35 ERA.
Led by Rickey Romero, who looks to replace the traded Shaun Marcum, the starters have the potential to make Toronto a 2011 surprise story. Romero finished last season with a 14-9 record and an ERA of 3.73. Three other youngsters in Brandon Marrow, Brett Cecil and Kyle Drabek will follow Romero.
The Jays had the most home runs, including 46 more than the Red Sox. Jose Bautista led that charge, as he was accountable for 54 of the 257 total. He also had 124 RBIs last season.

The Jays had the most home runs, including 46 more than the Red Sox. Jose Bautista led that charge, as he was accountable for 54 of the 257 total. He also had 124 RBIs last season.
Bautista should have a big year, as the 30-year-old is a free agent at the end of 2011, and players know the better the play, the bigger the contract.
Joining Bautista is rookie Travis Snider, who displayed power in the minors. Moving Bautista to third base frees up the outfield for Snider to move in full-time.
Also, the Jays were the slowest team in baseball, finishing 2010 with a pathetic 58 steals. Signing Rajai Davis, who stole 92 bases for the Oakland A’s over the last two seasons, is a huge improvement. Look for Davis’ RBIs and total runs to jump because of the massive power bats behind him in the lineup.
The future of the Blue Jays looks very promising, as their outlook has changed under second-year GM Alex Anthopoulos. Instead of trying to compete with the "win now" attitude of their peers, Anthopoulos is putting the money into acquiring top young talent by adding scouts all over; in California alone, the team has five.

This attention to detail seems to be right on track so far.
If Anthopoulos’ reorganization of priorities keeps up at this pace, the Jays will get in the playoffs again, just not yet.

The idea is to get in not just for one season, but for many to come.
The Negatives
Fact is, winning 85 games is meaningless when you play in the AL East.
After years of the Blue Jays being lead by false hope, they seem to finally have come to grips with this fact. It has lead to major frustrations for both fans and players.
The team with the most power couldn’t seem to do much else at the plate. The Jays' on-base-percentage was a pathetic .312, third lowest in the AL. Even with all the home runs, the Jays need to improve on their 732 RBIs, which was almost 100 less than the league-leading Yankees.
The Jays will have to make up for the 71 total home runs hit by Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay and John Buck, who will not be back in 2011. It’s a lot of pressure on Bautista to have another 54 home run season, an achievement that is hard to do in the first place, mind you repeat.
In reality, the Jays might look different heading into 2011, but it is doubtful to be the year when Toronto finally gets to see a postseason berth again.
My advice is to keep one eye on the Blue Jays, because it is a franchise going somewhere very soon.
Also, Blue Jays fans have to give the team something to play for; an empty Rogers Centre all season long is unacceptable.

The Jays had great fans in the 90’s, so time to come on back because in sports, you need fans to keep you going.
Players To Watch
Second baseman Aaron Hill and first baseman Adam Lind both had horrible 2010 numbers.
This duo has to get back to 2009 form in order for the team to avoid finishing last in the AL East. Hill and Lind both took home Silver Sluggers in 2009, combining for 71 home runs and 222 RBIs. Considering Lind is 27 and Hill is 28 years old, they can easily reproduce those numbers. It will soften the blow of losing Wells and Co. during the offseason.
The two infielders will make or break the Jays' season by either putting them in the mix, or turning it into just another average year for Toronto.

This Hair Is So Sexy, It's Making Me Blush

This star has dark, shoulder-grazing hair, and when she wears it tousled-wavy and tosses it with her hands, I'm pretty sure there's no boy who could resist its gravitational pull. Can you guess which leading lady I am referring to?
The sexy-haired star I speak of is Zoe Saldana.
I've coveted Zoe's haircut before, but this new photo got me to thinking about it all over again. Her slightly mussed-up curling-iron waves are such boy bait. Doesn't this photo just make you want to go rev up your iron--or at least start thinking about doing so for Valentine's Day? Also: The way Zoe has her hand in her hair is so come-hither, but in a still-classy way. So much cuter than when stars do that stupid kissy-face at the camera! Or worse: duckface. This pic's a great reminder that just touching your hair in the right way can be such a great beauty move.

Face Primer
Face Primer: Six Good Reasons Why You Should Get Your Hands On One Pronto: Girls in the Beauty Department: Beauty: glamour.com
It's no coinkydink that both of them have anti-aging properties either. Though they fill in lines for a face-lift effect, they stick to the surface so it doesn't invade and block up the pores. When I tried out the CoverGirl product, I felt like I was just putting on a lightweight moisturizer--it didn't leave that dreaded sticky or overly powdery feel.

Face primers are relatively new in the beauty arena and for a while they made me a little doubtful about how my skin would react. I'd always wondered whether it would clog up my pores since the whole point of it is to fill in every crease and crevice, making your face smooth and ready for blush, foundation, etc. But I plunged ahead and tried a couple of the latest, brand-spankin'-new primers, and this is what I found:
First off, they don't clog up pores like I thought they would! (Phew!) The trick is to find one that that's oil-free, like the new AmazingCosmetics Anti-Aging Face Primer that just came out this month or a primer that's super light and can literally act like a moisturizing serum too, like CoverGirl & Olay's Simply Ageless Serum Primer.
It's no coinkydink that both of them have anti-aging properties either. Though they fill in lines for a face-lift effect, they stick to the surface so it doesn't invade and block up the pores. When I tried out the CoverGirl product, I felt like I was just putting on a lightweight moisturizer--it didn't leave that dreaded sticky or overly powdery feel.
I got the pros from AmazingCosmetics to help me come up with our favorite reasons why we think makeup primer should be next on your beauty shopping list. I'm SURE at least one of these will catch your eye!:
- Smooths the skin's surface and evens out the skin tone
- Helps to better disguise blemishes and lets you blend your concealer/makeup in more evenly
- Makes your foundation stick around for longer (makeup pro Terri Apanesewicz used Amazing's primer on Hillary Scott on a 90+ degree photoshoot and it did not budge!)
- Fills in fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces shine
- And finally, like I said before, it doesn't clog pores!

Sexy Little Eye Makeup Idea
Have a Date This Weekend? Here's a Sexy Little Eye Makeup Idea You Can Steal From This Victoria's Secret Model : Girls in the Beauty Department: Beauty: glamour.com:
If you're looking for a sexy, girl-next-door-meets-femme-fatale makeup idea (and who isn't?) then it's about time to break out the victory dance, ladies. Because this eye makeup look on Marisa Miller is it.
The close-up:
Now, I'm just going to get this out of the way: I think she's wearing the same metallic eyeshadow that's on her lids in her brows. Why this is, I don't know but I feel we should ignore it and focus on the eye makeup because it's just so purdy.
And speaking of those eyes, there's just a bit of black liner surrounded by a coppery bronze eyeshadow. And because the color has a bit of a pink tone to it (but not enough to push her into zombie-land) the effect is sexy-sweet.

A Sexy, Subtle Eye Makeup Move
A Sexy, Subtle Eye Makeup Move We Should All Steal From This Victoria's Secret Model: Girls in the Beauty Department: Beauty: glamour.com
It's no surprise that I'd get my latest totally sexy eye makeup move from a Victoria's Secret model. Check out this soft, girlie little trick Lily Aldridge is going for here:
She's got a little black liner on her top lids, and you can tell that she's got a little light shadow in the inner corners of her eyes (which we've seen before).
But there's a little twist: It's been blended out and down from her eyes a bit more than you'd usually expect to see to make her look less shadowy there. The effect: Open, glowing peepers.

There are lots of mesmerizing things about Maris Miller, but today I want to talk about what's going on around her chest region. Come check it out.
So what's the story? She's got body shimmer in a capital "T" going across the front of her chest and down between her "girls." And there might also be a bit of bronzer on the inner side of each boob to create a shadow--that part is less clear. But, really, it's the sheen here on her skin that's making everything look a little more voluminous. Kind of like the effect I got with that cleavage kit I tried awhile back. Remember that?
Anyway, it's a simple little move, and one you may have been using for years. But it's nice to know even supermodels use those old go-to tricks, no?

The 13 Most Romantic Hair and Makeup Looks Ever
The 13 Most Romantic Hair and Makeup Looks Ever: Beauty: glamour.com:
"Romantic Makeup Idea: “Honeysuckle” Blush
Blushing after a cute compliment from a certain special someone is nice, of course. But you could also try a swipe of the sweetest blush color ever: honeysuckle (which just so happens to be Pantone Color of the Year). It’s a reddish-pink that complements any skin tone—if you’re fair-skinned, use a lighter touch or tap your blush brush on a tissue"
Romantic Hair Idea: the Half-Up Wavy Hairstyle
A textured half ‘do like this one on Glee star Dianna Agron is great because the waves soften and frame your face and the height of the crown elongates and flatters at the same time. When copying this cute hairstyle, try using a sparkly clip or hair-color-matching bobby pins to secure the updo instead of your usual plastic claw clip

Romantic Hair Idea: a Sweet Side Bun
Sure, Natalie Portman has learned a thing or two about gorgeous ballerina buns from her performance in Black Swan, but if you want a romantic way to wear the look offstage, place your hair bun closer to the nape of the neck for a soft, pretty dateworthy hair idea. Pair with a swipe of black eyeliner and a bright matte lipstick for a simple and sexy look that’ll get two thumbs up

Romantic Makeup Idea: Sexy, Smudgy Eyeliner
If you’ve ever wondered what to do with that spongy thingamabob end of your eyeliner pencil, print out Amber Stevens’ eye makeup look for inspiration. For this soft but still dressed-up look, outline only the upper lash line with liner, then gently smudge up the outer half with the spongy tip of your pencil. It creates that lovely cat-eye effect without your having to keep redrawing the tricky winged edge.

Romantic Makeup Idea: Shiny Red Lips
Ah, so there is a reason red is the color of love. As in, “We looove this red lip on Rachel McAdams!” Not quite your classic red lipstick, this dark cherry color should be your next not-so-secret weapon in your heart-slaying date-night makeup armory

Romantic Makeup Idea: Flirty Green Eyeliner
You can steal this sexy, doe-eyed makeup trick from Brenda Song by applying a shimmery forest green eyeliner to your lower lash line. By keeping the rest of your makeup clean and neutral, even a dark green could make a serious pop of color

Romantic Hair Idea: a Cute and Twisty Short Hairstyle
Just when we thought it was downright impossible to turn a short pixie cut into an updo, Hayden Panettiere goes and whips out a short hairstyle that makes you seriously reconsider your sitch. Her short hair “updo” can be created by using a volumizer—like Link—to pump up a deep side part. Next, twist back the bangs on each side and secure with a couple of bobby pins. The rest is teased back for a little extra oomph. Easy-breezy to do, but the twists make it seem like there’s a lot more going on with your hair than there really is

Romantic Makeup Idea: Soft Pink Lips and Cheeks
If we had a chance to relive our prom days, we’d travel back in time clutching this picture of Selena Gomez’s beauty look (instead of our curling-iron-abused updos and piled-on makeup—shudder). With matching pale pink cheeks and lips, you can copy this romantic look for any
occasion. Just don’t forget to push your hair to the side to show off those pretty cheeks

Romantic Hair Idea: a Bumped Up Ponytail
A ponytail is anything but blah when it’s all bouncy and flirty like Kate Beckinsale’s. To dupe her style, gather hair as if you’re making a high ponytail. Give it one or two twists using a claw clip to secure so it gives the ponytail extra volume and a “stacked” feel. If your hair’s not long enough to spill over the clip, pull hair back into a simple bun and tuck in some handy clip-in hair extensions like the TTony Ponytail from Avon over the top of the bun

Weekend Sexy: a Loose Side Braid
Don’t waste precious downtime on your hair—just copy 30-year-old Minka’s 60-second style. Make a loose side braid, then secure with an elastic or wrap a piece of your own hair around the end and pin.

Dust bronzer on your cheeks and set the whole thing off with nude lipstick. For sexy hair, use a body booster like Biolage Volumizing Whipped Mousse. Brigitte Bardot would be proud.
Girlfriend Sexy: Happy Coral Lips
It’s a look that hits the beauty sweet spot: Men and women love it. Slip on a bright, comfy sweater, a slouchy hat and (the key) happy coral lipstick. Look for a pinky-toned shade if you have fair or medium skin. Go with something orangey if your skin is dark.
Date-Night Sexy: the Easiest Updo
With this hot jeans-and-dressy-top combo, who needs complicated hair? Just pull it up, pin wherever and go. To make sure all that skin you’re baring looks and feels soft, slather on a moisturizer right after you shower; we like the nicely priced Olay Silk Whimsy Body Lotion.
