  1. Well, teams need to shut down Boston's offense if they're gonna have a chance.
  2. Well, he might be there again tomorrow if Drew isn't healthy--Brandon Snyder isn't a good option for Boston.
  3. If the score holds as is, Jays will be +1 in run differential.
  4. Insurance run for Reyes! 5-2 Jays. We're going to win.
  5. At least we'll be @ .500--we could be the White Sox, who have been bloodied in their series vs. Cleveland, and are crashing towards the #1 pick.. except Miami is leading that race.
  6. Looking good for a win. Now we need Baltimore to lose to the Yankees.. Oakland's doing us a favour by losing to St. Louis(and losing Jarrod Parker to a hamstring injury)
  7. Ciriaco is in San Diego.
  8. Not exactly--Boston's been on a tear recently. Even the Yankees can't beat them..
  9. Tough one to call. Doubront is due for a bad outing.. we just need Rogers to have a good day and not tax the bullpen.
  10. Yes, but most of his success came in Boston.
  11. If that were possible--remember, teams are locking up their young stars, making it difficult for teams like the Yankees and Dodgers to buy their way out of trouble. With the new TV money helping smaller teams, it's more difficult for teams such as the Yanks or Dodgers to contend--teams with good cores and farm systems like the Red Sox, Cardinals, Braves, Rangers, A's have benefited.
  12. Former Jays farmhand Johnathon Diaz was called up by Boston today after Drew got hurt--Mortensen was DFAd.
  13. Which we had a -249 run differential. Of course, we were an expansion team then.. If things stand as is, Yanks will face a negative run differential for the first time since 1992(and that was a bad era between 1989-1992--but at least they drafted their core during those lean years, especially Derek Jeter in 1992!) Unfortunately, the Yanks face a return to those lean years--free agency isn't going to save them like in 2009 due to the new CBA. Plus, their farm is weak--Tyler Austin, Slade Heathcott and Mason Williams have stalled: Mason Williams(A+) .254, 3 HR, 16 RBIs, .691 OPS, 31/43 BB/K Tyler Austin (AA) .269, 5 HR, 38 RBIs, .747 OPS, 38/67 BB/K ratio Slade Heathcott(AA) .234, 4 HR, 31 RBIs, .661 OPS, 25/75 BB/K ratio Only prospect they have that could be elite is Gary Sanchez (A+), who's at .273, 12 HR, 54 RBIs 22/50 BB/K, .814 OPS. With no major catching prospects ahead of him, it's surprising the Yanks haven't been more aggressive with him.
  14. At this point, we should aim for a wild card spot--Boston is THAT good right now--they deserve their record. Interestingly enough, they're at least likable because most of their offense is homegrown: Pedroia 53 runs Ellsbury 50 runs Nava 44 runs Ortiz 40 runs These four players are part of the reason Boston has such an elite offense. And all of it was raised from their own system--something the Yankees need to do more of--especially as they face the retirement of Derek Jeter soon, and significant declines in A-Rod, Tex, and don't ask about that outfield!
  15. With no offense besides Cano and Gardner, no wonder the Yankees have a negative run differential--if it weren't for the pitching, they'd be at -50 to -100 right now.
  16. Another blown save for Bailey. Now it's up to the bullpens.
  17. RIP former Jays pitcher Justin Miller: http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/former-mlb-pitcher-justin-miller-35-found-dead/2129162?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
  18. Worse--they got to play another game after this(doubleheader)
  19. 16-10 now. Several pitchers will end up in AAA or DFAd for this..
  20. No kidding. You're 37 years old and overweight! Don't try running home from 2nd on a shallow ball from RF, especially vs. someone with a good arm.
  21. Longoria left the Rays game in the 2nd with an injury--oh boy. This is the one thing the Rays can't afford.
  22. They're seeing Webster for the first time--most teams have this same problem.
  23. TJ McFarland is not pitching well vs. the Yankees--the Yankees are pounding him--even Vernon Wells has a hit on him.
  24. Especially when they crash into that garage door. Drew hit that ball well.
