Never been to Milwaukee but it's on my list. Was trying to convince the Wife to go last year when we were in Chicago to watch the Jays but she wasn't having it. I'm trying to get to all the stadiums. Got 19 checked off to date.

San Francisco was definitely the nicest to date from both and asthetics and atmosphere point of view. New Miami one was pretty cool, but competely devoid of any at amosphere. Boston is also high up on the list despite you outright hatred of the team.

Sanchez with another just fantastic outting, it's a shame he's going to the pen soon because he's pitching himself into cy young contention.

I think he came off the base before the ball got there.

I didn't think they would overturn that with safe being the original call.

Why the heck are the Jays after Melvin Upton Jr? Are they going to platoon Bautista and Edwin at first and DH?

Red Sox lose (with Drew Pomeranz on the mound ) but the Orioles win.

Upton can give both Saunders and Jose time to DH which is good for the outfield defense as well as the batting lineup. Smoak is hitting like JPA right now and EE can play a good 1B so not a huge need for Smoak.

If Upton wasn't signed for so much money next season, I'd be happy to see him traded to the Jays. I'd still support a trade if the Padres kicked in some money.

Not that I'm against Upton but the bullpen needs some serious upgrading.

Thole honestly wasn't bad for the Mariners series, but it's soooo nice to have Martin back

Sanchez is crazy good, and has he even reached his fullest potential yet? Geez

I'm pretty weak on the Central Division teams in both league. Not exactly vacation hot spots so not an easy sell to the wife. I just need to get sent to those places for work

Looks like a done deal.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Sources: #BlueJays agree to acquire Melvin Upton Jr. from #Padres for Class A prospect. Financial terms not known. Likely finalized today.
