At this point the Jays are almost sure to miss the playoffs, so I want them to end up with 90+ losses to get rid of Beeston and AA.

 

And so I'd like to see the Orioles lose even though I know they won't be a playoff threat.

[Dr. Dinger]

Why? Your dumn.

 

Because the Yankees are higher in the standings and I own several O's. Why would you ever cheer for the Yankees? Ew.

[bzapple]

Lol Jurrjens. Remember when people wanted to trade for him a couple offseasons ago, and the Braves were looking for a "Greinke-type package"?

[BlueJayWay]

People here are actually hoping the Yankees win games?

Vernon Wells RBI double in the 10th

The Jays' chances of making the playoffs is like 3%. I'd rather AA get canned than hope for something that won't happen, and watching the Orioles screaming back to Earth is very enjoyable.

It's pretty remarkable that the Orioles have managed to put together a lineup of,

Machado .328/.362

Davis .313/.406

Jones .322/.358

McLouth .277/.365 - kill me

Markakis .291/.340

Wieters .230/.304

Hardy .235/.269

 

One year ago I thought they'd win 60 games. Now their lineup looks like the envy of the AL East.

It's complicated

[G-Snarls]

More runs

 

Yankees got this

[digiblader]

Big deal--I'm more focused on the wild card spots.

[mitchf]

A lot depends on just how good Chris Davis really is. Without him you have Machado, Jones, and Wieters as the core and little else of consequence next year and beyond, with no pitching. That looks a lot more dangerous if you a monster 40-HR 375+ wOBA 1B bat.

Well yeah there's a reason I didn't include pitching, but it's hard to think Davis isn't real. He's a Dan Uggla-Marlins bat.

If the Orioles (who have lost five in a row) lose this series to New York, we could have a shot at tying them in the standings this week.

 

In our four-game series with Baltimore they're throwing out Jurrjens, Tillman, Garcia and Gonzalez. We should take three of four, even if Ramon Ortiz is starting one of those games.

 

Tillman is good, good stuff

[Angrioter]

f*** off O's

[digiblader]

That's going to be difficult to do..but 50 saves+ is a possibility.

[LGBJ29]

Sox 3 outs away from putting away the Sox

[Angrioter]

Johnson blows another save and Hafner gets the dinger single and SB.....WTF?!?! That literally blew for me, lol.

 

No K, No save bro

i could go on but im starting to annoy myself

[Boxcar]

Hawk is awesome. I'll always pick the White Sox broadcast, though this is close because Boston's broadcast is the best in baseball imo.

 

He's just hilarious and looks like he's been dead for 10 years. YYYYYYEEEESSSSSS!!! THIS GAME ISSSSS OVAAAH

[G-Snarls]

White sox win. beautiful

 

Sweet

 

If the Red Sox could lose 3-4 games the rest of this week, the WC spots would look much more reachable

[digiblader]

You might get your wish--they're playing red hot Cleveland later this week.

[bronson44]

For some reason I just watched MLB poll, and 32% of players asked don't know what WAR is or what it stands for.

Patrick Corbin is having an amazing start to the year. He's closing in on Ubaldo's record of 12 straight games of 6+ innings with 2 runs or less. Corbin has 9 straight and is 7-0. Today he held the Rockies to 3 hits, 1 walk, and 1 run in 9 innings while striking out 10 at Coors Field. Why can't we have a young non-prospectish pitcher figure it out.

 

 

fip of 3.10 and xfip of 3.91. I give him credit, he's been amazing but I expect him to have a mid 3's ERA by season's end.

[mitchf]

Colon spoke through a translator last night. He's been in the big leagues for 16 years.

Just saw this clip of Manny and found it amusing:
