Dickey's last day as a Blue Jay can't come fast enough.

With the comments above and not knowing the score in the game (2-1), you'd think it was now 10-0.

That said, Dickey at Rogers Center, where there are limited wind currents, is a bad recipe. I wonder if they can limit him to road games..

I'm always so stressed out, watching him. Doesn't help that he gets awful run support.

So even when he does okay, I don't enjoy his starts.

Aren't Dickey's numbers better in closed environments?

I have to admit that Dickey's pitching pretty well tonight. Hopefully he can go two more innings.

Yeah, I was hoping the Nationals would do us a favour, but it's not looking so good.

My perception was no, and the stats apparently show this too

I thought I read that his knuckler moved better in hot weather. Not indoor or outdoors, windy or not.
Anyways, good start from him tonight. And Thole wasnt a complete black hole.

Wow.. 6-2 Jays, bottom 7, and it's so quiet in here!

6.2 innings, 2 ER for Dickey. Pretty decent

I've thought Dickey has been pretty good the last while.

It looks like a beach ball to Martin these last couple of weeks.

I would challenge his critics to outline what fifth starters are better

Dickey was effective tonight. Saunders blasts a homer. Thole with a big RBI.

Go whipping boys!

Biagini is quite the find. Very composed for a young inexperienced guy.

Saunders!!

7-2
