Can't get a save in 6 run game, you should be glad Kikuchi is coming in, 3 runs in and i think Romano then qualifies for a save.

Think we can comfortably cheer for Seattle to win from this point forward. We're evenly-matched with the Rays, but we're just plain better than the Mariners.

Not even in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see a Blue Jays team split a series at the Trop. This might be a team of destiny.

They have the easiest schedule ever to end the season. If they don't end up with the #1 or 2 WC they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

I like almost had fun watching a Jays game at the trop. Which is a usual departure from the dreary depression that is usually what happens.

They certainly should. But a win today means that they'll be 4-6 against the Angels, A's and Royals in their past ten...they aren't playing their best baseball at the moment.

Edit: and now they've turned a nine-run lead into a three-run lead with the bases still loaded. In a half-inning.

Yeah, I'd still rather play the Mariners. Giving up a whole-ass nine-run lead in a half-inning to the Royals is really not very good.

The win probability chart is pretty great:

The fact that we somehow split this at the Trop makes the Jays/Mariners the most likely series now. Mariners are kind of a disaster right now, but they really should be able to beat the Rays out over the next week with that schedule.

Missed the game but a split against this team at that place is as good as a series win. Things lining up pretty good now.

Tie goes to the visiting team.
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.
