this is just too many days in a week without jays baseball. even if they are hard to watch, I hate not having games to watch. withdrawal is setting in

 

I've seen some fans even developing a bad case of the shakes!

Today’s Matchup - May 21st, (7:07pm EST)

Rays @ Blue Jays – Series 2/3

Opponent Pitcher: RHP Cobb(4-2, 2.89)

How to play:

Pick a player on the Jay's starting lineup that you think will hit the first bomb during today's game. If you pick the correct player you will earn the corresponding points. Players more unlikely to hit a home run will earn you more points than those likely to knock one out. Below is a list of the points each player is worth today. Points will change daily depending on whether the player is on a hot or cold streak, and bonus points will be available on random days. You can only pick one player, and you can't change once you picked. You must have your pick in before the first pitch of the game. Daily lineups will be posted roughly a hour before the game. I will keep track of points and the board member with the most points at the end of the year wins.

LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!!!

[theblujay]

Jose

[The Cats Ass]

Do I just post my pick here?

 

Gose!

[Grant77]

Bonifacio

[o2cui2i]

I'm just curious how it is only 1 point for a HR for Jose, Edwin and JPA, against a guy who doesn't give them up? doesn't the opposing pitcher play any roll in the points?

 

Edwin for the win.

[kcjaysfan]

I think Lind goes yard today.

[fatcowxlive]

Melk man!

[jays_fever]

Bautista

Haven't really thought about that to be honest. I just go with more likely to hit a home run on the jays. If you put jose 3 points up vs the best pitcher that would make melky like 9 points which is a bit much. Plus once the starter goes out they might face a crappy bp arm.

[Dylan]

I'm going with Melky

[bowld]

Jose

[GD]

Rasmus.

[dmrich28]

Lind

I'll still be at work today so I won't be able to post the lineup so the point values are posted above. Again, if someone can post the picks at first pitch that would be awesome!

 

I'm going with Lind and if he doesn't play then Melky.
