We can probably take game 1...

Bucholz has been pretty tough on us historically, but he's been even worse than his mound opponent that night. Still, I figure he'll get back on track against us.

3's a toss up. Lester has also been pretty good against us, but think Dickey may have a decent game that day. Were going to score some runs here, but will it be enough? We need a series W.

All 3 of those pitchers have really good track records against the Jays. Peavy, in particular, is one of the few pitchers that Bautista has really struggled with in his career. It won't be easy.

I would hate to see Buehrle regress back to normal tomorrow night against the Red Sox. I know it has to happen, but just not against Boston—that's all I ask.

Everything seems fine for about 5-6 innings and then the wheels begin to fall off. It's a worrisome trend. Obviously no must win series at this point but getting 2/3 here would be a good psychological lift for this team.

Let's sweep these punks!

I want us to destroy Buchholz on Saturday.

The attendance against the Orange Birdies series was brutal. Lets all go out and support this team, damn it!

I have tickets to the Saturday game, and plan to go to many more this summer.

Sensi thanks for creating the game thread.

Victorino is off the DL now and sounds like Middlebrooks will be back for this series too.

I'm with Chid Meixeiro. I've got tickets to the game tonight but I'm skipping it for the Raptors game.

Have tickets but am doing the opposite of you. Not optimistic about the Raptors winning any game on the road at Brooklyn with as many calls as the Nets are going to get.

I also figure might as well go to the Jays while the season is not yet lost.

Anthopolous finally saying (admitting?) what most people around here have been posting since November?

As expected the pitching has come back down to earth.

By the time it's all said and done, we'll be ranked bottom of the AL.

Buerhle always gets rocked by the Red Sox.

Wo1verine · Post #18 » by **Wo1verine** » Fri Apr 25, 2014 11:52 pm

It would had been nice if the game could last more than 2 innings.

I mean, it's over before it's started.

glorified BP for the orioles and red sox the past 3 days. buehrle's getting shelled like it's yesteryear. might as well just let the drubbing continue, let him go the full 9, and preserve the bullpen which we will inevitably need for at least 10 innings the rest of this series

Nice to know we won't blow a lead again. I'll just stick with the Raptors.
