Notes:

 

Rangers::

• The Rangers are 3-6 in their last 3 series, dropping all 3 of their past 3 series including the one in the Rogers Center last weekend
  
• The Rangers are 60-35 at home against the Jays, 2nd best record at home against any club in their history
  
• The Rangers are hoping to get Ian Kinsler back soon. He's been cleared for rehab after being on the DL with a strained ribcage since April 18th
  

 

Jays:

• Esmil Rogers has a very fine 1.23 ERA as a starter in two starts this year. His last start was against the Rangers where he held them to one run in 4 innings.
  
• Bautista's hit 3 homers in 2 games against the White Sox and has a .381 batting average in the last 4 games. Unfortunatly, he's 0-9 against Yu Darvish in his career
  
• Adam Lind is hot hitting .457 in his last 17 games! He also owns a nice 3/5 against Darvish in his career

C'mon Jays, crank that soulja boy Yu.

 

Okay, terrible joke, but GO BLUE JAYS!

JPA batting 7th--now if he could be batting 10th, the Jays would be a better team.. he wouldn't be killing rallies with his K's.

Very happy with JPA 7th

 

Only downside is it means Izturis is hitting 6th

1) It's Yu Darvish Day!

2) I appreciate the human body (male or female)

3) Because you secretly love it? I did put a warning.

I always thought Asian bodies were pixelated. They're like that in the movies.

[Wilnercibia]

Why didn't Rogers start get skipped with the off day/??

[Caper]

If I had to be with a man it would be an Asian... Because both Asian men and women look the same from behind.

[Dylan]

Lets go Blue Jays!

[Shogun89]

Why didn't Lind drop his shoulder and run him over there?

[Deadpool]

JP's legendary pitch framing just cost Rogers a strike

[digiblader]

Donaldson left the game.. Moss is at 3B right now.. strange.. it's like putting EE at 3rd.

[gruber92]

Why a basic shift on Berkman?

[Angrioter]

Can Beltre see with that helmet?
