Aug. 21-23: Blue Jays vs. Angels Series Thread
Toronto Blue Jays (66-55, conquering Kings of the universe) vs. California Anaheim Los Angeles Angels (63-58, indecisive franchise namers)
Probable Starters:
Friday @8:00 Mountain Time: TOR: David Price, 11-4, 2.41 ERA; LAA: Hector Santiago, 7-6, 2.86 ERA
Saturday @7:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Marco Estrada, 10-7, 3.20 ERA; LAA: Andrew Heaney, 5-1, 2.43 ERA
Sunday @1:35 Mountain Time: TOR: R.A. Dickey, 7-10, 4.14 ERA; LAA: Garrett Richards, 12-9, 3.50 ERA
Well, the past couple series haven't quite gone the Jays' way, and yet, despite losing 2 of 3 to the Yankees and one of the two against the Phillies (yuck), the Jays still find themselves only 1.5 GB for the division and up 3.5 on the Orioles for the Wild Card. Gotta think it's a four-team race for those Wild Card spots at this point with the Twins and Rays 3.0 GB of the second spot. Not many games left to make up that kind of ground.
And just as the Jays experienced a perfect storm of an OOT a couple days ago with the worst possible scenario happening in each game, as far as I can tell, the exact opposite was true yesterday. They end this weird run of days off with the completion of this series, after which they play 3 against the Rangers. Six pretty important games coming up here!
