Not many people who are up there deserve it more than him. That dude was a legend! Exactly!

Yes sir! And thank you! I can't wait to see what Gibby will do for the lineup with Reyes slotting back to leadoff

I usually get it done 4/5 PM . Today I have no work and I kept my promise - had it ready without the lineups and notes since last night. Updated them and posted them at the normal time It's not early! I had no option in yesterday's GDT! It was the first game in 2 years that I haven't followed in any sort Amen! Thank you good sir!

Series so far: June 24, 2013 (Game 1/3): Jays 1-4 Rays Pitching Matchup: http://i.imgur.com/HgQRSpO.png SP - Mark Buehrle (92.0 IP, 25 BB, 6.07 K/9, 2.45 BB/9, .269 BAA, .294 BABIP, 4.48 FIP) [L] http://i.imgur.com/ALasMog.png SP - Matt Moore (80.2 IP, 42 BB, 8.03 K/9, 4.69 BB/9, .225 BAA, .269 BABIP, 4.22 FIP) [L] Lineups: http://i.imgur.com/grrdanT.png Make your picks for the first homer contest hosted by Dylan!

Coming into that game he owned a 1.95 ERA, and a very low .183 BABIP and a decent 2.16 K:BB ratio (41Ks vs. 19BBs). Ever since that start though, he's owned a 5.98 ERA, much higher .326 BABIP and a much worse 1.35 K:BB ratio (31Ks vs. 23BBs) in 9 starts. The back-to-back-to-back of Loney, Myers and Fuld was the 2nd in franchise history. The first occurred in 2008 Young Rays reliever Alex Torres gave up no earned runs in his first 20 innings this year. Last night's fielder's choice RBI by Jose Bautista is the first earned run allowed by Torres. Jays: Jose Reyes will be activated for the series finale in the Trop. Gibby has hinted earlier that Kawazaki can start 2B and that he's willing to send down a BP arm. Reyes has hit .414 (12/29) in his rehab assignments in A and AAA. Adam Lind is hitting .354 with 10 big flys and 27 ribbies since May 1st Mark Buehrle's last start in Tampa was one to forget, after having a huge 7 run inning allowed to the Tampa bats. Ever since that start though, he's turned things around dramatically. He's had 8 starts since and put up a great 2.65 ERA and 37 strikeouts in a total of 51 innings pitched Standings: http://i.imgur.com/8saF8gh.png http://i.imgur.com/gFEJPuQ.png Venue: http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/Diag/TropicanaField.gif I hope you guys enjoy the game and the GDT! Please leave feedback and ideas/improvements for future GDTs!

Let him do what he does best - polling. It's not like he's trolling, and most of his polls are actually nice

He was optioned already? I seem to have forgotten, thanks!

Oh I was talking about how JPR kept finding relievers every year to do well out of nowhere back then This is probably AA's first full year with a proper bullpen I didn't lol. But whatever, I'll keep it until the winning streak starts again

Yeah lol I take that back, AA's still pretty bad. JPR wannabe when it comes to relief pitchers, only JPR can get the good relief pitchers that literally come out of no where

Yeah, you're right. I meant that he's done a good job passing them through waivers..... wait they were all s*** anyways, nevermind lol

Astros DFA'd him when they were cutting players after ST, we claimed him, he pitched twice (had Mop-up duty to JJ's start in Detroit) and got DFA'd again, and now he's pitching for Houston's MLB bullpen

hahaha I just saw that beside my pic, I'm guessing Hurl or Admin did it New winning streak starting soon

I just updated the first post, and you can see that AA did not only a good job of somehow piecing together no-name pitchers that are doing well, but 25/27 of the players are in the Org one way or another, so he's keeping them here too

Well that's interesting lol. So who exactly were the 29? Starters (12): Mark Buehrle Josh Johnson J.A. Happ R.A. Dickey Chien-Ming Wang Esmil Rogers Chad Jenkins Brandon Morrow Aaron Laffey Sean Nolin Ricky Romero Ramon Ortiz Relievers (17): Brett Cecil Casey Janssen Steve Delebar Juan Perez Aaron Loup Niel Wagner Mickey Storey Sergio Santos Justin Germano Todd Redmond Darrin Oliver Thad Weber Jeremy Jeffress Brad Lincoln Dave Bush Edgar Gonzalez Dustin McGowan Legend: Example - Not on the team Example - 25 Man Roster Example - DL Example - Blue Jays Minor League System

Well someone needs to take the blame and sacrifice something in order to restart the win streak, right? I didn't take the call, so I'll take responsibility!

Bingo lol. Only once one other time when I didn't show, and that was because my laptop battery died on the Gardiner Expressway lol. Other than that I've told Dougie or I've done it myself

Sure lol, I will have time tomorrow and I'll counter I swear it wasn't in my hands, emergency happened and the situation didnt really allow me to use a phone/laptop.... I'm sorry :/

not even you??

Thanks for filling in bro . It's nice to know that there is someone there who can put something of quality up when I'm not available! Sorry that I put you through it :/

Uhhh that's for tomorrow, I had a personal thing I had to take care of and I couldn't have time for anything today . It's the first game I haven't followed in any way in about 2 years Sorry for this, if I had the choice I would have done the GDT but I didn't have a choice. From now on I'll do the GDT minus lineups and notes every night to prevent this from happening. Once again, I am very sorry

LOOOOOOOOOOL He ninja'd me! I swear he wasn't in that pic the first time!

f*** lol

Woooo hoooooo!

Bautista and Rogers look snazzy, EE's suit looks weird on him, and Boni looks lol

It's interesting, most instagram users think it stupid, but the celebs mostly didnt make the switch to vine. Vine might remain alive because the Vine 'stars' are very different than the Instagram ones, so it will be interesting to see who wins.

If you guys told me we'd be 2 over .500 in 10 games when we were playing in Chicago, I would have blasted you lol
