One base runner on. Do something productive.

EE!! Tie game.

[Karl]

Good, EE. Good.

[KelVarnsen]

Edwing!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

lol, just as Buck and Pat were discussing how Santana has given up just one HR in his last 6 starts, lol.

[Karl]

Now if only the Jays can figure out how to score runs without the HR that would be mighty swell.

Not sure how that can be fixed, either. You can't operate a baseball team and operate it on the cheap without Billy Bean. Not in a division with the Yankees and Red Sox. And despite their poor performance this year it seems apparent that:
1. Loss of AA
2. Loss of David Price

Has equaled a loss of momentum that didn't need to happen and clearly has impacted the morale of the team. People can say these are pros or it shouldn't make an impact but that is the magic of sport, human interaction, momentum, chemistry, team morale- these are real things even though their intangible and difficult to understand and explain. Since Rogers is as close to an evil empire as possible it's tough to see them actually change how they operate the team.

Oh well, baseball was interesting for 3 months last year at least.

The Jays aren't run on the cheap - far from it and AA moving on has nothing to do with what is happening what so ever... Remember the old saying that the Baseball season is a marathon not a sprint - they will be fine - see me at the end of July and I'll tell I told you so ... Gibby will wear it if it doesn't turn around quick but it will eventually...

Tulo takes a first pitch strike

Done! He just did that moments ago!

OK MVP. Got Joey Bats on base. Do something productive.

[Karl]

Oh FSS! GIDP.

[Karl]

Phew! Ball didn't carry.

[Karl]

EE strikes out, partially thanks to 2 outside pitches wrongly called as strikes (almost as erroneous as the low pitch that Tulo got called out on in the last game against the Rays) and bat goes flying like it would often do over the last 2 years after striking out....Thanks country Joe.

[GirlySports]

did Tabler just say 'we'?

[Dan02]

nice hit Saunders, those are the hits this team is sadly missing.

[Karl]

Geez Country Joe why do you have to expand your strike zone now you damn meathead?

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Oh c'mon.........Tulo gets a hold of one and looks like the Jays are taking the lead, but what a nice catch.

[Scornfire]

AGHHHGGHHHGHhhhfghfhghfhgh

[Karl]

Well. We're getting close, I hope?
