Oh god, are we really getting back into the thick of things with the AL East AGAIN? I hate those f***ers. All of them. And this time, it's probably my least favorite of late.

That's right, we are going up against the pioneers of winneryness in the Baltimore Orioles. And not only that, but their recent bout of winneryness has come on the back of someone whose name sounds very similar to parmesan cheese. I mean seriously, they piss me off in every which way. I just want them to be put down.

VERSUS...

Game 1 - Friday, June 19th

7:07PM EST start time
Marco Estrada vs. Mike Wright

Game 2 - Saturday, June 20th

1:07PM EST start time
Mark Buehrle vs. Kevin Gausman

Game 3 - Sunday, June 21st

1:07PM EST start time
Scott Copeland vs. Chris Tillman

Wanted to take this tidbit at the bottom here to wish all the fathers of this board a happy Father's Day this Sunday. Hope you guys are doing something special with your families. Let's win some baseball games, maybe?

It'd be nice to take 2 of 3.

haven't wanted a sweep so badly since the last time we played these birdbrains

multiple options in the poll would be great that way we can check off every one of them sh*ts

I thought they'd be last place in the AL East before the season started, but they've been playing well lately. Really BIG series, Jays can build on that 1 game advantage we have on the O's, but looking ahead at Tampa and the Yankees, both those teams are playing the Indians and Tigers, and I'm really hoping we can get ahead of the Yanks by the end of the series. It might taake a sweep, but these are some big games we're gonna be looking back on at the end of the year. Hoping to have one of the top two WC spots by all star break.

Winner of tonight will take the series. Gotta get this Estrada game.

Just keep winning series. Slowly but surely and things will take care of themselves.

We're gonna need a few 5 run innings this series

Kawasaki's up:

The Toronto Blue Jays will place R.A. Dickey on the bereavement list and recall infielder Munenori Kawasaki from triple-A Buffalo on Friday, industry sources told Sportsnet.

Dickey’s father died Tuesday night, but he still wanted to make his scheduled start Thursday, when he threw 7.1 innings of one-run ball in a 7-1 victory over the New York Mets.

Hang in there Robert Allen. Heck of a performance on Thursday night. God bless.

Well, that sucks. Despite my criticism of his performance on the field, he seems like a good guy. I've read his book and he's definitely been through a lot. I give him credit.

He should smile a bit more. Never seems to be happy.

Should have played Martin tonight and used Navarro with Buehrle pitching tomorrow!

dballislife · Post #17 » by **dballislife** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:27 pm

Why and how d heck does Navarro keep get playing time on this team especially playing over Martin...meanwhile with our pitching and playing the o's we gonna need all the offense we could get

Xaos · Post #18 » by **Xaos** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:31 pm

Why is Navarro playing in this pivotal series against the Orioles?

Is Gibbons okay? :crazy:

Xaos · Post #19 » by **Xaos** » Fri Jun 19, 2015 9:32 pm

and Navarro should not be batting ahead of Pillar imo.

Rest days have to be worked in for your #1 catcher even if he's your 2nd best player and on a hitting streak.
