Rasmus!

[KelVarnsen]

Lawrie hurts his ankle sliding into 2nd. Stayed in but is out now.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Big win, lots of offense. Pretty cool seeing the Rasmus brothers battle each other, Colby has bragging rights for now. Hope the bats continue to be hot and get on a nice long winning streak.

[Matty81]

Too bad they lost Lawrie, he's been crappy all year and finally in the last 4 games seems like he might be coming around and then sprains his ankle. Pretty typical of this season.

Wonder if they'll move Bautista to 3B now and call up Sierra, seems to be playing decent in Buffalo... they need to keep De Rosa out of the every day lineup.

...last time they did that Joey Bats was day-to-day with back problems...so NO. It's about damn time to give Jim Negrych a chance at 2nd and have Isturiz play 3rd until Brett gets healthy.

[Where ru Chris O'Sullivan]

Nice to see were starting to beat people up, ok pitching, its your turn to do something now.

[Rapidfire999]

Does Izturis have a strong enough arm to play 3rd? I remember watching old man vizquel and he could barely get the ball to first lol

[KelVarnsen]

No to Izturis at 3B, he wasn't very good when Lawrie was injured to start the season.

Morrow done after 2 innings, velocity was way down. Hopefully he is ok.

[KelVarnsen]

Nice play from JPA.

[dustyanddaflames]

Bullpen is completely depleted... It needs as much help as the rotation does.

[Rapidfire999]

I really don't like that thad guy.. he's horrible.

[KelVarnsen]

Weber optioned, Ortiz DFA'd, and Lawrie to DL.

[dustyanddaflames]

Stroman has to be on his way up, no?

[habernac]

Listening to Stephen Brunt on the Fan yesterday. Says that Lawrie really needs to grow up. when he was traded from Milwaukee, the entire locker room cheered. I like the way he plays, hope he can get it together.

Encarnacion will take some ground balls at 3b during BP. Up to Gibbons on if he'll eventually get into game there on trip. #bluejays

[Rapidfire999]

LOL at that kawasaki book. I wonder if its actually the real one

Rogers looked good tonight, shame he won't be pitcher of record.
