Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Jays:

• Buehrle is looking to win his seventh straight decision, a personal streak currently second to his nine-game run from April 16-June 28, 2005. He became baseball's first 10-game winner Sunday, limiting Kansas City to six hits over eight innings in a 4-0 victory.
  
• The Blue Jays improved their major league-leading home run total to 89 as Jose Bautista and Brett Lawrie went deep. Bautista's 15th of the season extended his hitting streak to 12 games, during which he's 19 of 44 with 12 RBIs, while Lawrie's was his third in four games.
  
• Toronto has hit 39 homers during its 20-4 stretch. Averaging 1.44 home runs, the Blue Jays' pace trails only the 2010 and 2000 clubs, which finished with 257 and 244 homers, respectively.
  

 

Cardinals:

• Miller cruised through the first six innings Monday against Kansas City - conceding only two singles - before Alex Gordon's homer marked the first of four straight hits against him to open up the seventh. He finished the inning but was charged with four runs.
  
• The Cardinals, who have lost eight of 10, haven't been below .500 since a 19-20 record after May 12. A loss Saturday would mark the first time they've been below the .500 mark this late in a season since finishing 78-84 in 2007.
  
• The Cards' pitching staff has done well in trying to limit the long ball, having surrendered the third-lowest total of homers (19) in the Major Leagues.

[Travis_Snider]

Go jays go

[dineke]

Better not lose to someone named "Shelby".

[DickeyJohnsonWang]

the sun is shining and the blue birds will defeat the red birds.

[Solaxys]

It is packed to the teeth in that stadium today; I expect some decibels.

[starfield]

Let's get this!

[sdyment]

I love watching Buehrle pitch at least as much as I dislike watching Dickey pitch.

 

GO JAYS GO!

[8D]

Our ace, Buerhle on the mound!! Yes, this is real life!

And I like our chances too! lol

[Angrioter]

This team is good, very good.

 

BTS, i miss you!!

[8D]

Jays starters still at #10 in the MLB for most WAR.

Beat out the A's!

[flafson]

Their pitcher seem to be prone to home runs. The guy yesterday was prone to keep the ball in the park and we tagged him for two.

 

Crossing fingers!

[Anemic0ffense]

Ya know... It almost feels like we can sweep this series too. The lineup just looks so deep. Any chance Miller quiets the bats today? I don't think so.

Yea I kinda like him though, is he jewish? thats the most jewish name ever

[Jonzo]

Is that even a real question??

[starfield]

The most impressive part about this team is that it came back right after the two game losing streak. As long as we have winning series I can't complain

[HERPDERP]

dats religiosisst

[Solaxys]

99 games left; 99 heartattacks to go.

[bzapple]

[awsomest]

[G-Snarls]

I like him too but he's uncomfortable in front of the camera.

 

And yes, he and Wilner are Jewish

[Jonzo]

It's pretty much the most Jew name I've ever heard.

[Ash70]

Weather looks good in Toronto. Pishing down here.

 

Lets GO Jays

 

[Jonzo]

But I do like him as well. I think he writes pretty good pieces on various topics including the draft.

[Candy Maldonado]

Jewy Jewstein is the most Jewish name I've heard.

Everyone knows it's him but they wont ban him unless they can do a DNA test and it's a 100% match.
