Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Jays:

• RA Dickey took a shutout into the sixth inning Tuesday against Baltimore but didn't factor in the decision after serving up a three-run homer in the 9-3 victory. Dickey is looking to snap a three-start losing streak against Boston after compiling an 8.53 ERA and serving up four homers in two starts last year. Middlebrooks took him deep twice, going 3 for 6 in their matchups.
  
• The Blue Jays have given up an average of 9.0 runs during a four-game losing streak, a stretch during which opponents are hitting .326 and have a .421 on-base percentage. They also issued 108 free passes, the second-most in the majors.
  
• Melky Cabrera has hit safely in 23 of 24 games this season.
  

 

Red Sox:

• Lester has won back-to-back starts before giving up eight runs - three earned - and 11 hits in 4 2-3 innings Tuesday in a 9-3 loss to the Yankees. The left-hander walked four, matching his total from his first four outings. Lester went 4-0 with a 2.55 ERA in six starts against the Blue Jays last year while holding them to a .183 average.
  
• Pierzynski's grand slam in the third inning was the eighth of his career, and first since May 2009. It was the first Red Sox grand slam of the season.
  
• Middlebrooks is hitting .333 with five homers and five doubles in 13 career road games against the Blue Jays. Boston hasn't swept Toronto since June 10-12, 2011.

[Chappy]

I expect the Jays to get crushed today.

[BlueJaysGirl]

11-3 Boston.

 

Dickey will look filthy for 4 innings, then walk 2-3 batters, grand slam, and the bullpen will continue to suck #rut

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I expect the Jays to get crushed today.

 

Normally when I expect them to get destroyed they win.

 

Jays win by 10 today.

[8D]

[Convo]

11-3 Boston.

I'm calling 1-2 HR, 4-5 BB, 3-4 K, from Dickey.

But now you've reverse jinxed, so they're going to lose. Take it back.

Can we get this soccer game to f*** off?

[fatcowxlive]

The game's starting now, it's not interfering with the Sox/Jays game.

 

Y'all rather hear Zaun or watch the tight Premier League race?

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Don't worry people our " Ace " has got this!

 

No way this could wrong, am I right!

 

Go Jays Go!

 

This message from our captain, please return your trays to the upright position this rides about to get bumpy!

 

Hang in there folks and panic!

 

Play ball! Have a Nice day!

Locked n Loaded! Takes on a whole new meaning when watching a jays game of late! Lol

Dickey being Dickey.

 

Strong start. Let's hope it lasts this time.

[Orgfiller]

Napoli always kills us. I remember when he was a Blue Jay for like a week. Than we traded him for Frank Francisco...

 

IIRC he was a Blue Jays for about 3 hours.
