AL East Clinch Day Thread - RIP Miguel Gonzalez

[Dr. Dinger]

Here's your GDT, boners!

 

Today, the Orioles will graciously concede the AL East pennant to the Blue Jays by gifting us a round of BP against Miguel Gonzalez and his hilariously bad 5.04 FIP, who will return from the DL (shoulder inflammation) just in time to face the best team in baseball. To make matters worse for the hapless, shitbird OriLOLes, the Stroshow is taking his act to Bawlmore, whereupon our diminiuative pseudo-ace will baffle the O's AAA lineup with a bevy of darting wiffleballs.

 

Here's what the lineups are probably going to be, not what we give ANY sort of s***:

 

Jays

 

Paul Revere

Your 2015 AL MVP

Your 2015 AL OF Silver Slugger

Your 2015 AL DH Silver Slugger

Probably Smoakie, maybe Tulo!

RUSSELL, RUSSELL, RUSSELL!

Goins/Pillar/2B

 

Garbage Shitbirds

 

Hilariously Orioles-style trade deadline non-acquisition

Machado

Chris Davis

AAA nobody

Useless jackass

Dogshit

Refuse

Coffee grounds

Puke on the sidewalk

Thinking of doing a Jays/Red Sox parlay tonight! Why the f*** not!?

Yes

 

So much satisfaction if they both win

[G-Snarls]

Go Jays go

[RealAccountant]

Lol RIP indeed

[Sammy225]

Clinch so we can give some guys a few days off

[baubau]

I say there is at least 1 pitch thrown to Baubau today. Calling Gonzalez doing it in the 3rd. Why the 3rd? That is when the Jays will rock him out of the game! AWE YA

And cause Schowalter

[intentional wok]

OP just made me laugh out loud at work.

 

I'm going to miss at least two-thirds of the game tonight, though. Hopefully I'll be back for the last couple of innings.

[blurnandez]

A+ thread.

[Governator]

EE is a whopping 3 for 25 against Gonzalez. Good news is all 3 were home runs.

[Dr. Dinger]

Doesn't matter at all, Gonzalez is homer-prone garbage, and he's not even healthy.

[pickoff22]

There's a good chance we dont even get this game in sadly. I want to party!

[ColdPint]

90% chance of rain at Camden tonight. If so it'll have to be a double header tomorrow.

[Masterbather]

I just hope we clinch on the field, right in front of Showalter. Hopefully, the Yankees game ends first with them losing, although Yankees/Red Sox games are notoriously long. If Red Sox win, we'll need a rain delay, or to really beat the hell out of the O's with long top innings. I prefer the latter option.

[havok24]

Best GDT ever lmao.

It will still be Clinch Day if the Stankees lose.

[Inklink]

Roof should be mandatory.

[Inklink]

I don't recognize some of those names in the Orioles lineup. Are they September callups from their stellar prospect pool?

[BigCecil]

JD, please part the skies temporarily to allow this onslaught and rout of the hapless O's to take place.

 

Nice GDT. Just the right amount of humility balance was struck.

[ColdPint]

Forecast is calling for nothing but rain the next two days. Hopefully we get tonight in and clinch so we can get the regulars off the field in potentially bad conditions. Can't risk injury at this point.

[RealAccountant]

I'm so excited hard on all day

[Masterbather]

What would happen if we leave Baltimore with a game or two unplayed at this point? I assume nothing if they won't matter in the standings, but with KC, they might. Would they make us play on the tie-breaking day? That would suck massively.

[Jimcanuck]

Sucks it has to happen in a shithole like Baltimore

[Trouba95]

Lol this GDT

MLB will do everything to get the games in, especially with so much on the line. If it were Philly/Atlanta, they wouldn't even bother.

If the chances of getting both of these games in is looking dire then MLB is probably looking into plans on a neutral site to hold them. Plans may already be in place in fact.

[Trouba95]

Wish we could just play the last three games against BAL in Toronto...

 

Screw this double header business. I don't want any injuries.

While it would be awesome, it's HIGHLY doubtful as it would result in a competitive imbalance.

 

It'll be a neutral site.
