TORONTO - Ah, the new artificial turf.
The topic dominated Blue Jays manager John Gibbons' pre-game scrum.
Imagine rolling a ball across a table covered with Krazy Glue and you get the idea how slow it is playing.
Back when Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker were the middle infielders on the Detroit Tigers, the infield grass at old Tiger Stadium was so high you couldn't see your ankles.
The fake lawn at the Rogers Centre is not quite that bad, but boy, does it play slow.
"It's definitely going to help out the defence and the pitching staff," Gibbons said.
