Yankees about to be closed out by the A's and the Rays lose again.

[Dylan]

Man huge f***ing win. Everyone seems to understand their role on this team. Exciting times for sure.

 

A win with happ vs verlander tomorrow would be very sweet.

[Jaysfan_85]

We have officially a 600 winning percentage

[S33n]

A win with happ vs verlander tomorrow would be very sweet.

 

Verlander hasn't been great this year, very possible! YANKS LOSE!

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

According to my research, we now have a .600 winning percentage!

[Terminator]

Yanks lose too.

[Trouba95]

We need the Orioles to start skidding. Gosh, they're going to be right on our tail soon.

[jayswin11]

Should go with Stroman tomorrow instead of Happ.

[havok24]

Verlander hasn't been great this year, very possible! YANKS LOSE!

 

Probably going to be a slugfest tomorrow afternoon.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Christ, we're picking up so much ground on our division here.

[TwistedLogic]

16-3 in the last 19 games.

[Bunchedundies]

Christ, we're picking up so much ground on our division here.

 

Orioles got to lose, but yanks are really falling off.

[BigCecil]

Missed game. Caught highlights. LOUP!!!!

 

Great win. We can beat anyone and I like no longer worrying so much about who the other team has or has done.

[labadee]

not if we keep winning. we have a couple key series with them coming up, hopefully we can force them on their asses

[jaysfan2014]

And the ESPN guys were saying the only .600+ teams were the Bay Area teams.. then the Blue Jays won.

 

So the elite teams now are Oakland, San Francisco, and the Blue Jays.

 

And the team expected to win 90 games, Tampa Bay, is now 23-37 and sooner or later, much of their coaching staff and players will likely take the fall, which is unfortunate for Joe Maddon.. but he has nothing to work with! He should demand out of Tampa and go to a team with an actual future..

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Sweep the four game match up coming against them would be huge!

[starfield]

I am a Bluejays fan but I'm scared of our own lineup

[Dylan]

16-3 in the last 19 games.

 

unreal

[Molitor]

Couldn't watch the game but just saw highlights too. My immediate reaction was to race to this GDT and find the Tigers 6th inning so that I could see the gradual reaction from Dinkey and his suck-fest to Megatron Loup making it all better. Ahhhh, I love the highs and low of the GDT.

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Great production from our 2-4 spots in the lineup tonight. Lind, Melky, and Jose combined to go 8 for 14 with 5 runs scored and 7 RBIs.

[Trouba95]

Boy, I hate ESPN and CBS Senior Writers. They give the Jays no credit whatsoever.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

1 baserunner given up by our pen after Dickey was taken out tonight.

 

Really couldn't have been better.

Yup. Pen was nails tonight. Loup, Cecil, McGowan, and Jenkins all pitched very well.

[Bunchedundies]

Uh oh they said EE was pulled for back tightness.

[havok24]

Uh oh they said EE was pulled for back tightness.

 

He will be fine. Give him the day off tomorrow.

He led a bunch of teams to +90 wins. He did the best he could with all the players he had. Of course though, it helped that Friedman had a bunch of high draft picks and fluke acquisitions.

 

This year they suck because of pitching injuries and the lack of hitting.

[Slot Machine]

Fun fact: Steve Tolleson has a career 131 wRC+ versus lefties in 113 at bats.

[TRM]

This just popped up on my twitter feed

 

 

Pretty cringe worthy

 

The brows on that man.

 

She's reasonably cute.

 

I support any young love driven by a shared admiration for the blue birds though.

[Inklink]

Great win!

 

Sucks that tomorrow is a day game. Why couldn't it have been today's (my work from home day!) Dammit!

 

 

LMAO

Not counting any chickens but...
