Somehow if the Yankees were running away with the division right now it wouldn't bother me as much

 

Why does it bother me so much more because it's the Orioles. Why??

 

f*** the O's are on fire, looking more like wildcard is our realistic hope

[G-Snarls]

Also, Lackey sux

[Chappy]

The division is all but lost at this point. The only chance is the WC or an epic implosion by the O's.

Their offense could explode at any moment, if it hasn't already.

 

Cruz

Machado

Davis

 

All sleeping giants.

i still don't trust their rotation. their offense is good but like us has some serious holes at the back end of the order. i still think the division is within reach if we can make a run like we did in may

Only if Lind and Edwin come back and tear it up, which is not likely after injury.

So....um. When do we start worrying about KC? Their playing some good ball.

[jaysfan2014]

Royals lead 5-0. But at the rate the Tigers are going.. we may soon be fighting the Tigers for the wild card. Their strong rotation is being offset by a bad offense and that terrible bullpen which one again blew a game for the Tigers. And Ausmus is sticking with Nathan because Chamberlain isn't that great, and Soria is DL bound.

That's a question Tigers fans are probably asking as well. Their streak of playoff appearances could end if they don't show some improvement with their offense and bullpen. And they have games to make up soon too with a number of double-headers.

Oakland absolutely killing Minnesota.

 

Trevor May's debut numbers:

2.0 IP, 3H, 4ER, 7BB! 0Ks

 

Ouch.. he'll be on a plane back to Rochester after this.

Trevor May has had control problems throughout the minors.. and they're being manifested vs. a team that leads in walks drawn in the A's. And you wonder why the Twins are still struggling to put a competitive team on the field.

7 BB? Poor kid..... should of started him out in the bullpen!

[jays4life19]

Looks like Chicago and Seattle will be heading to extra innings. A Chicago win would be nice.

[jays4life19]

White Sox up 2-1 in the 10th!

[NorthOf49]

It's fun to cheer alongside Hawk lol

 

Sox win!

[jays4life19]

Thank you Chicago.

[jays4life19]

KC next four games:

Vs San Fran - Lincecum

Vs Oakland - Gray

Vs Oakland - Lester

Vs Oakland - Kazmir

 

Should be able to make up some ground if we play well.

[NorthOf49]

Great matchups this week: A's-Royals and Yankees-Orioles. Jays just need to take care of their own business.

[jaysfan2014]

Tigers down 8-1... in the 2nd inning. Verlander knocked out early, and Justin Miller is pouring gasoline and lighting a match, giving up a HR to Travis Snider.

[Chappy]

Yanks leading the O's 3-1, hopefully they can pull this one out.

Also, need Oakland to beat KC. KC currently up 1 to 0.

[Rajais Mitten]

Biggest thing is we win so let's hope for that

[Chappy]

Also, need Oakland to beat KC. KC currently up 1 to 0.

 

Hopefully the A's sweep them.

[jaysfan2014]

Hopefully the A's sweep them.

 

Either that or the Pirates sweep the Tigers. Remember, if the Royals win, the Tigers will fall into the wild card race, and a Jays win will cut the gap to a single game.

[jaysfan2014]

Update on Verlander, and it could be a DL stint looming:

 

Jason Beck ‏@beckjason

 

Verlander removed with right shoulder soreness. Will be further evaluated Tuessday.

I'm hoping both the Tigers and Royals lose.

[pickoff22]

Machado out with what looked like a brutal injury to his right knee. Came out of the box and just collapsed.

Machado out with what looked like a brutal injury to his right knee. Came out of the box and just collapsed.

 

And considering how he was hitting recently and his D, losing him could allow the Yankees and Blue Jays to have a shot to get back in the AL East race. Remember, the Yankees are playing the O's as we speak.

 

Taking him out of 3B could be devastating for the O's. And it doesn't help Hardy has a thumb injury as well, hurting their SS position as well.

[Vincent]

And Cruz with the 2 run bomb... Baltimore, f*** off.

[Chappy]

The Orioles just won't stop. They are going to run away with the division.

Their offense is superior to ours right now. And Cruz / Davis are heating up. That's just dumb.
