Default Sept. 4-Sept. 7: Blue Jays vs. Orioles Series Thread

Toronto Blue Jays (76-57, conquering Kings of the universe) vs. Baltimore Orioles (64-69, losers of 8 of their last 10 games)

Probable Starters:

Friday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Drew Hutchison, 13-2, 4.87 ERA; BAL: Ubaldo Jiminez, 9-9, 4.34 ERA
Saturday @11:00 Mountain Time: TOR: David Price, 13-5, 2.47 ERA; BAL: TBA
Sunday @11:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Mark Buehrle, 14-6, 3.53 ERA; BAL: Chris Tillman, 9-10, 4.87 ERA

I know I said something similar last time, but it has to be frustrating to be a Yankees fan right now. They destroy the Braves and Red Sox, win 5 of 6, and gain no ground on the Blue Jays. It's nice to have your team in the driver's seat, though it would have been nice to open up some breathing room for the division lead.

By now you all know that Marcus Stroman dominated (understandably so) in his rehab start recently. I have to assume that the Jays will use him in the rotation in some capacity. I don't think there's a lot of point in adding him to a bullpen where guys like Mark Lowe are already struggling to get into games.

Gotta love meaningful September baseball! For us scoreboard watchers, the Yankees play the Rays this weekend.
