Here comes the boom.

Pitching staff needs to get it going (and I'm sure they will soon). If they can keep us in games, the offense will also be motivated to hit. I'm tired of seeing us out of games by the third inning and I'm sure our hitters feel the same way.

Our ace is up next guys, no worries. J.A's got it under control.

We always have trouble in KC it seems.

Jays swept KC in KC last year. I was there, will be again.

Hopefully second game is at worst a stalemate. But I think we got a good shot in the other two games.

Be nice to finally get a series win!

3-9

But seriously, the jays should AT LEAST win this series.

Sweep would make me happy.

What is the weather forecast looking like for the series?

It's going to be damn cold tomorrow, but it's not supposed to rain this weekend at all.

The Royals are not a pushover. They actually look pretty decent roster-wise. Will be a tough series, but at this point the Jays have to get things done.

I like watching games at their stadium. Pitching matchups look fun.

Morrow should be better after the knuckleball. But we need Dickey to matchup vs Shields. Can't blame Happ if he struggles.

Lets hope Dickey's manicure holds up.

Shields and Santana have always owned us

Doesnt James Shields always kill us

He's 3-3 with a 4.15 ERA in 8 starts away from Tropicana Field against the Jays. 8-2 with a 2.67 ERA in 13 starts at the Trop against the Jays. He is a completely different pitcher outside of that pitcher's haven. Kauffman is more friendly than Rogers Centre but I'd expect his true talent is more like an ERA of 4 rather than 3.

He and Santana have been great to start the season though, which doesn't match up well with the "success" our starters have had thus far.
