Nice lead. Argos should give up and go home before they upset all 32 fans in the stands.
A good portion of Torontonians are glued to their sets watching the Jays. That aside, the Argos have had a hard time getting fans out to the games. One game they had something like 10,000 and a bit - pitiful. Apparently, the Argos don't spend a lot of money on advertising and they have big competition with so many other major sports team in the city and area. I really feel for the team - it can't be easy playing in front of so few fans.
Jays up 9 - 2 bottom of the 5th.
Price just struck out A-Rod for the 3rd time tonight. Go David
Milt figures the Argos have to 'discontinue' the penalties. I can imagine the air was purple in the Argo's locker room at half-time - I can't remember when I have seen Scott so angry - I could almost see the smoke coming out of his ears. Be interesting to see if the 'chat' sunk in and the players get with the program in the second half. They've done a fair job of limiting Zach's effectiveness so far. He is down by a little over 100 yards passing compared to last week.
GO CATS!
Elliot's second drop of the night and the Argos who took the ball to start the 3rd are going for it on 3 and 8. This should be interesting.
Okay, Harris..........great call Scott.
11;46 and the Argos are tagged after a good gain and a first down - loss of ten on the play. Harris has to avoid the sack, throws the ball away and it's 2nd and 20. Next play - Harris to Gurley for a 42 yard TD play. Argos are back in the ball game........going for 2. Ball over Owen's head ...........6 point Cat lead.
Argo's D steps up on Cat's 2nd down and force Tasker to a loss. Medlock out from the 28 and Mr Automatic puts it through for a 9 point Cat lead.
Whittaker with 9 and a half on his first rush for the Argo's.
Page gets tagged for a 15 yard penalty and the Argos are in Hamilton territory.
Another great call by Scott.........really nice play.
Harris with an 11 yard run.
Coombs with an Argo's TD...........really pretty pass by Harris with three Cat defenders in the area. Stala is good on the convert - versatile guy Dave is - have liked him for a long time, real team player - Argos down by 2. Good series for the Argos - not a good one for the Cat D.
Nice recovery by Zach after the sack.
End of 3rd, Cats in scoring position and lead by 2.
Sinkfield puts the Cats in the red zone then on the next play has them 2nd and goal. Zach keeps the ball and makes it over the line. Flag the play - TO offside. Refs don't call a TD, Kent challenging, clearly he will win this one - there is no way Zach wasn't over on that push.
Well that was utter complete BS.
That's okay as we get in on this one. Yeah CATS! Up by 9 again.
No way Scott should win this challenge.......Gainey was run over by the Argo receiver. Agree with the Suit, Argos have cleaned up their penalty situation - only one so far in the half. Told you Scott - not a good challenge.
Oh Rock on Cats...........now that was so cool - blocked kick and the Cats have the ball in Argo territory. Way to go special teams.
Hah, hah............A-Rod just struck out for the 4th time and with 2 different pitchers.
Zach sacked, Hamilton get illegal block penalty and I believe the Cats may try an FG after failing to get to the end zone. Medlock is good from the 40 something and the Cats are up by 12 again with 10:32 left in the game.
Helluva of a nice grab and run by Coombs. Big YAC yards on that one.
Argos with another first down around Cat's 35........moving the ball well this series.
Yeah Kackert! I so like that little guy - so much to overcome and what a competitor. Argos' in red zone.
Trevor caught behind the lines - 2nd and 13 and on his next pass just misses Hazelton in the end zone - and is walloped in the process. Chad Owens with a huge catch but Argos are tagged for offside and have to do it all over again.
Third and 18, ball incomplete in end zone, Ham tagged for offside, and TO gets another chance. 3 and 13, Scott calls T.O. Uh, no.......he's challenging something, not sure what............okay they are challenging for pass interference. He stopped the clock so they could have a good look at the play. Scott should win this one.........replay shows P.I.
There you go...............good call Scott. Unfortunately.
TD Argos on very next play. Gutsy 3rd down play calling by Scott. 5:08 32 - 27 Cats.
Oh, oh Speedy Banks is down.
Okay...........he's walking off the field, apparently just winded.
Sinkfield to Argo's 49. Sinkfield with 8. Matthews gets the first down. Cats moving the ball. 3-minute warning.
Collaros gets a block from Tasker and a gain of 8 yards. Sinkfield with the down and another 12 yards. Holley with no gain. 2 and 10. Tasker first down and another 12 of his own. Argos have man down on the field. 1rst and goal for the Cats. Holley caught for loss. 2nd and goal. Incomplete in end zone. Medlock out for FG.
1:12 Cats 35 - TO 27.
:53 left. TO 3 and 6. And they get the first down - Owens makes up for a previous off-side. Kackert stopped after a gain of 3. 36 seconds to go. :06 Argos 1rst and 10 at the Cat's 29. Harris' Hail Mary intercepted by Cat's Davis and Hamilton has this one in the bag. Off to the Jays game.
