Default Sept. 7-9: Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Series Thread

Toronto Blue Jays (78-58, conquering Kings of the universe) vs. Boston Red Sox Sux (64-72, the Canucks of MLB)

Probable Starters:

Monday @11:30 Mountain Time: TOR: Mark Buehrle, 14-6, 3.53 ERA; BOS: Rick Porcello, 6-12, 5.21 ERA
Tuesday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: R.A. Dickey, 10-10, 4.09 ERA; BOS: Henry Owens, 2-2, 5.87 ERA
Wednesday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Drew Hutchison, 13-3, 5.07 ERA; BOS: Joe Kelly, 9-6, 4.84 ERA

I hate the Red Sox so much. Their fans are the worst. Their players are the worst. I know calling them the Canucks of MLB isn't quite right but, man. The Red Sox are the worst. I hope that the Jays just beat the tar out of them this weekend because they're the worst but also as punishment for rolling over completely to the Yankees recently.

Looking forward to watching the Jays RH power hitters hit over the Green Monster ... with the way they've been hitting there might be some gaudy numbers and that's cool with me.

If you're into this sort of thing, FanGraphs continues to list the Jays' odds of winning the AL East at about 70%. They have the odds of them being in the playoffs at 99.9% which is terrific and exciting and ... I don't really want them to win a Wild Card spot. Amazing how picky about that I have become after two decades, but there it is.
