Dagger will be the guy with the bag over his head and CC will be holding the "Fire Everyone" sign. Try and spot them!

I think RA Dickey is starting for the Jays tonight. It's in Toronto and the dome is open, so that probably means 4 runs through 3.

Has A-Rod been suspended for real yet?

Pregame interview Gibby said it was good news the roof is closed tonight. Then minutes later, the roof opens.

Goins has now produced more WAR than Izturis and Bonafacio combined.





Probably not, but you went and checked, didn't you.

Some less than ideal base running there by Sierra.

Ok, so after that double play I decided to check. Goins has produced 0.2 WAR in 3 games, while Izturis and Bonafacio produced -0.9 combined. So...yeah.

fWAR has Izturis/Boni as a combined -2.6. The combined production of Fairview4Life/Schad versus Izturis/Boni currently sits at the equivalent of a well-above-average player.

Odd to see that kind of mistake from Ichiro (and happening to the Jays).

That Thole third strike is basically what I would look like swinging at a major league pitch.

That's what Thole usually looks like as well. It's cute.

But can you catch a knuckleball better than JP. If so, you've got yourself a contract.
