.500 MOTHERf***ER!!!!

 

Damn right! One of the most enjoyable games of the year.

[Pete_7]

You know if Gibby wanted the best lineup tommorow he should put Rajai in LF, Melky at DH, Edwin at 3rd

[Pete_7]

Also, 9 in a row!

[GD]

My dad was at the game and I can't wait to hear what he has to say lol. f***ing love this team.

[BlueJayWay]

There are no sub .500 teams in the AL East.

[bronson44]

My work was giving away 500 level tix today and I turned them down because I hate the 500 level and I'm going tomorrow. Kinda regret it now.

So you prefer to go for the above-.500 level.

[havok24]

That was an incredible ball game from start to finish. A playoff atmosphere at the RC tonight.

[fatcowxlive]

Were you there?

 

Nah, I just couldn't do the GDT because laptop died and Gardiner was a bitchhh on traffic, still caught half of the game on TV including the walkoff!

Oldest player to ever hit his first career homer in a Jays uniform, according to Bucky.

I think we need all the run support we can get. I know our starting pitching had been great the last 2 weeks but this O's offence is like running the damn gauntlet for pitchers. Some scary hitters in a puny homer friendly dome.

[Atothe]

Streaking!!!!!!

[Metallijay]

Whats up with bautista? He is doing nothing. Sick of dickey, unless he turns it around I don't think we have a realistic shot at anything. Of course I had to miss this game and kawasaki's HR.

[Pulk_Pull]

Was at the game. Thought it was over twice when the O's went up by two (the bats were dead all night).

 

What a finish... hope this brings up 40+ tomorrow!

Saki must have felt at home. that's the kind of atmosphere most Japanese league games have. they are crazier than Brazilian soccer fans.

 

I wonder if they had a vote now, how many people would pick Bumfiasco over Kawasaki? probably just AA and anyone he pays to agree with him.

You missed seeing an epic game.

[theblujay]

What a win!! This is the amazing streak that I was looking forward to back in the spring!!! Dickey is still a mess, but the offense came through.

One player does not make a team. Bautista is in a slump plain and simple. It's amazing how many people can't understand even the best players can slump.

 

As for Dickey, yeah he has been bad more often than not, but were just going to have to ride this out and hope for the best.

 

Our lineup and pen will keep this team going when the pitching is not.

[OtisNixonFan]

Us not having a complete game all year is killing me. f***, I miss the Good Doctor.

He was great with the Jays but at the end f the day I would rather win than see certain players here and this team has a chance to do some damage. Hopefully JJ can step it up because he might very well be the ace of this staff when it's all said and done.

Just to add to all the celebrations, the Jays bullpen has the lowest ERA ever for a month so far in June. The record is held by Orioles for giving up 6 runs over 70.1 innings in 1965. Jays on pace to beat it with 4 runs over 55.2 innings (0.65 ERA!)

The thing about 'record breaking pace' is that you have to keep up a record breaking pace to break the record...

 

Chance they give up <3 runs in the rest of June? Probably not so great

[flafson]

I think AA has a big problem right now, he believes ALOT in leadership and clubhouse gelling together. If you send down Kawasaki you risk losing that mindset. Only "long" term option is to train Kawasaki at playing 2nd base and trade Boni. I don't see them sending an arm down and not sure they want to send Kawasaki down.

Don't know the last time I saw energy like that at a Jays game. Usually even when it's packed, it's a dull boring crowd.
