Lewis Hamilton describes the Monaco Grand Prix as his Achilles heel and its easy to see why. Nine attempts, one victory - and that was eight years ago. Im definitely not weak round there but Ive won once and Ive had the car to win the last three years, the world champion tells Sky F1s Martin Brundle. Im keen to go back there and do some surgery.So, as Hamilton prepares for another shot at glory in the principality this weekend, where has it all gone wrong over the years? 2007 Monaco GPGrid: 2nd; Race: 2ndYoung Lewis entered his first Monaco GP with a two-point lead in the championship and a fearsome record around the streets of Monte Carlo, winning in GP2 and F3.In Formula 1, he had to settle for second best behind McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso - though the world champions victory was shrouded in controversy. How Hamilton lost Monaco 2015 How Lewis Hamiltons infamous pit-stop lost him the 2015 race The FIA launched an investigation of McLaren for giving out team orders after Hamilton revealed he had been asked to ease off. Ron Dennis insisted that while he wouldnt allow his two drivers to race and risk a comfortable one-two, this was team strategy rather than the banned orders.McLaren were later cleared of any wrongdoing and Hamilton, who had now been joined on 38 points by Alonso, said: He has No 1 on his car and I have No 2. I am the second driver and so I must accept that and respect that for the team. 2008 Monaco GPGrid: 3rd; Race: 1stThough Ferrari had started the 2008 edition as overwhelming favourites, Hamilton produced one of the defining drives of his career so far to take the chequered flag in an incident-packed grand prix.The Englishman, starting third in the torrential rain, snuck up the inside of Kimi Raikkonen at Turn One but an error around Tabac soon after saw him puncture a rear tyre. The crash eventually worked in Hamiltons favour, however, with McLarens refuelling allowing him to come in for his final pit-stop six laps after his main rivals, by which point the dry tyre was perfect for the improving conditions. Whens the Monaco GP on Sky? F1s showpiece event is live and exclusive on Sky Sports Overtaking was almost impossible on the river of a track but it was Hamiltons race-craft and tactical savvy in the most unforgiving of environments that earned him the plaudits.At his age, Lewis can win this race many times, Jackie Stewart said, as reported by The Times. This is the first, I hope, of many victories for him in Monaco so that he can join the greats of Formula 1. 2009 Monaco GPGrid: 19th; Race: 12thJust six months after sealing his first F1 crown in the most dramatic of circumstances, Hamilton only had nine points ahead of round six of the 2009 season.And despite impressing in practice, a disastrous mistake in Q1 ruined the world champions weekend as he broke the rear suspension of his McLaren after smashing into the Mirabeau tyre wall. He qualified in 16th but started the race in front of only Timo Glock due to a penalty for a gearbox change, and was never in contention.What a difference a year makes. 2010 Monaco GPGrid: 5th; Race: 5thWith world champion Jenson Button joining him at McLaren and leading the championship heading to Monaco, the pressure was on Hamilton to perform.However, his team struggled with reliability issues all weekend. Button had to retire after a cover was left in his air cooling system while Hamilton could only qualify and finish fifth.At one point a clearly frustrated Lewis, who eventually held off the charging Alonso, asked his team: What the hell? Do you want me to race these guys or look after the car? 2011 Monaco GPGrid: 9th; Race: 6thA weekend to forget for an extremely crash-happy Hamilton. Coming into the grand prix 41 points behind Sebastian Vettel, Hamilton could only manage ninth on the grid after having his final Q3 time docked for cutting a chicane.His feud with Felipe Massa was ongoing and the pair collided twice come race day, once at the hairpin before the Brazilians race was ended after an ambitious high-speed move from Hamilton through the tunnel. The Brit was given a drive-through penalty for the first of those incidents, and was later penalised again for ending Pastor Maldonados race.Throw in an accident involving Hamilton, Jaime Alguersuari, Adrian Sutil, and Vitaly Petrov and his nightmare was complete, his only solace being the eight points gathered.Hamilton criticised the stewards after the race, telling the BBC: Out of six races, Ive been to the stewards five times. Its a joke, its an absolute frickin joke. 2012 Monaco GPGrid: 3rd; Race: 5thHis last Monaco GP as a McLaren driver, Hamilton started the race from third after Michael Schumachers grid penalty, and was able to maintain his position for much of the afternoon.But Lewis and his team were out-thought and out-paced, first by Ferrari and Alonso, who watched his rivals pit before putting in the two fastest sectors of the race, and then by Red Bull and Vettel. Both would rejoin the track ahead of Hamilton.Only four seconds separated race winner Mark Webber and Hamilton at the chequered flag. 2013 Monaco GPGrid: 2nd; Race: 4thQualifying on the front row behind Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, things were finally looking up for Hamilton in the principality.But after a crash from Massa at Saint Devote led to a Safety Car, Hamilton dropped two places as he was forced to pit on the same lap as Rosberg. He slowed down too much upon entry and was never able to catch the Red Bulls.It wasnt the teams fault, it was my mistake today, Hamilton told Sky Sports F1. I just wasnt good enough. 2014 Monaco GPGrid: 2nd; Race: 2ndIts fair to say the tension between the Mercedes pair was high prior to this race. First, there was Hamilton using an unauthorised engine mode to hold off Rosberg at the previous grand prix in Spain. Then, in Monacos Q3, Rosberg ruined his team-mates final flying lap after causing yellow flags for reversing back onto the track following a mistake at Mirabeau.Sundays events proved to be slightly less dramatic, with Rosberg leading from start to finish around the street circuit. Still, Hamiltons anger was clear over radio at his teams failure to give him a better chance at victory with a riskier pit strategy.Hamilton then suffered more frustration - and irritation - when he complained of visibility problems with his left eye in the closing stages, only just holding off Daniel Ricciardo.The ill-feeling in the Mercedes camp was evident on the podium afterwards with Rosberg and Hamilton failing to acknowledge each other. Hamilton was left speechless as a pit stop during the safety car cost him victory in Monaco 2015 Monaco GPGrid: 1st; Race: 3rdThe biggest calamity of them all. Having just signed a new contract at Mercedes, Hamilton duly dominated proceedings in Monaco, opening up a 24-second gap to Rosberg in the race after comfortably securing pole.But after Max Verstappens crash forced a Virtual Safety Car and Safety Car a nervous Hamilton, of the view that his rivals would be fitting the option tyre, asked Mercedes to bring him in. His team dallied and later agreed, believing they would be able to pit the race leader and return him back in first. What a miscalculation it was.

Amongst Torontos starting outfielders, only Jose Bautista is signed for next season. Colby Rasmus and Melky Cabrera are in the final year of their deals. "I think guys like myself, guys like Anthony (Gose), know that theres potential for some openings in the outfield coming up," said Pillar. "Were really here to just take care of our business. Any time you get to go out on a big league field its an audition, not only for your team but all the other 29 teams out there. As guys who play the game we want to play in the major leagues. Ideally we want to play for the Blue Jays, theyre the team that drafted me and theyre dear to my heart but anytime you step onto the field you know its an audition for a major league job somewhere." Pillar joins the club red-hot at the plate. After stumbling out of the gate to a .114 batting average (5-for-44), Pillar has gone 38-for-97 (.392) since, which included an 18-game hitting streak. At the time of his recall, hed reached base safely in each of Triple-A Buffalos last 26 games. His nine walks represent an upward trend over his time with the Bisons last year. Pillar has struck out 16 times which, prorated, is a positive trend downward. "Just getting back, using the whole field and being aggressive in counts, hunting the heater and getting better pitches to hit," said Pillar of his early-season adjustments. "Kev, in the minor leagues last year, had a tremendous year," said manager John Gibbons. "He came up here, got his feet wet and it was a little bit of a struggle for him last year. Went back down there to Triple-A this year and really got it going again. Hes a good baseball player. A real good defender, good baserunner and the guy can hit." Like Chad ;Jenkins and Jonathan Diaz (the man whose roster spot he took – Diaz was optioned to Buffalo on Tuesday) the day before, Pillars travel day began in Charlotte and involved a complicated path to Toronto.dddddddddddd He flew from Charlotte to Baltimore, changed planes and flew into Buffalo. After quick stops at his apartment to gather clothes and toiletries and at the Bisons home, Coca Cola Field, where he transferred his equipment to a bag with a Blue Jays logo, he picked up the waiting car service for the drive to Toronto. This time when Pillar arrived in the clubhouse, he knew what to expect. He knew where to go to find what he needed. Its nice to feel comfortable. "That was a huge difference compared to last time," said Pillar. "Coming in, I walked in on egg shells. I didnt really know anyone here. I was greeted with open arms. At least I knew where my locker was, I knew where things were at this time. Its definitely a different feeling this time." "Hes coming back the second time, you know the shock, now he knows what to expect, said Gibbons. "The awe of the big leagues is kind of out the way now. The first time you show up you dont know what to expect and youre kind of overwhelmed or you can be sometimes." Pillar started in centerfield in place of Colby Rasmus on Tuesday night. Rasmus is nursing a tight right hamstring, the condition of which Rasmus said was improving. After Monday nights game, in which Rasmus was removed to start the seventh, Gibbons offered that maybe Rasmus was in need of a stint on the disabled list. Rasmus is hoping to avoid the DL and by Tuesday afternoon Gibbons had changed his tone, sounding hopeful Rasmus would need only a day or two on the bench. Meanwhile, while hes here, Pillar just wants to relax. "I dont have those same butterflies that I did six months ago when I came here the first tim
