I don't like Tampa much at all. Please win.

Three against the Rays followed by four against the Royals...the all-pitch, no-hit spring tour. Could be some fine margins; two of three against Tampa and I'll be pretty damned happy.

Well, at least the three games are not in Hell (aka Tropicana Field).

Should be a pretty good series. We're coming in with some momentum having just swept Boston, but they suck ass so that doesn't really mean much. Just got Cobb back, which is a big boost, and they're starting to pitch and play defense like they usually do.

Good luck!

Why does everyone hate the Rays?

They don't have annoying fans (they don't really have fans at all) and their teams have always been built through the farm (and not by spending $200 million every off season on free agents).

6th best winning % in baseball? God I wish it was September.

9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Ya and we get Bedard. I think thats a good matchup for us with him vs Hutch.

But the winning streak will have to end at some point. When it does, the answer after that is what matters.
That's what she said.

There are 162 games for a reason. That's like saying after 70 games where are the Burke haters. I am excited, we do look very good and honestly the batting line up I can easily say is top 5 in baseball regardless of everything but pitching wins championships and well to bs fair lets get to the post season first.

It was a joke about the Raptors board and the apologize to BC here thread that preceded a long losing streak.

I'm just an avid Jays fan. The Jays are on a roll right now and if the Jays win series, thread creator makes the new series thread. Starting to feel bad, would like to let someone else have a turn :lol: .

It's way too early for the parade though, still at least 4 months of ball left, hopefully 5.

If you make every series thread from now until the end of the season, I would be ecstatic!
