FanHouse Blue Jays

Unruly fan behavior in Monday's season opener at Rogers Centre was the last straw. So that's it: no Labatt's, no Moosehead, no Molson, no Sleeman.

Beer sales were banned at the Blue Jays' home stadium on Tuesday, and also on April 21 for a game against Texas.

Oh, and the players couldn't even get beer in their clubhouses. Ouch.

The Tigers pulled their players off the field and the game was delayed nine minutes as fans threw baseballs and other objects on the field. But Tuesday's prohibition had already been decided on because of past liquor-license (licence?) violations.

He may look like your high-school gym teacher, but journeyman Matt Stairs can still swing a freakin' bat. Since August 1, he's been on a 30-74 tear, the best of any American League player.

In fact, the Blue Jays have been so impressed with the 39 year old slugger's performance -- one of the few bright spots in their forgettable 2007 campaign -- they're trying to secure him for 2008.

"We want to get the ball rolling on talking about bringing him back," J.P. Ricciardi said. "Hopefully, we'll talk [again] later in the week. I think we've got the parameters to work within. Just like we did with Johnny Mac, I think there's a deal to be made there. Hopefully, we'll keep him here."

Although no offers have been made yet, there's always the chance that Stairs, a native of Canada, would take short money to stay in the Great White North. Unless, of course, the beer league comes calling.
