Series #4: Blue Jays @ Rangers (April 11-13)
Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 9:27 pm
I'll take a stab at it 
Toronto Blue Jays
(7-5)
@
Texas Rangers
(5-7)
Jays were looking sharp after sweeping Boston but were seriously put down after being swept by the Oakland Athletics. Failing to put over runs on the board, holding leads or pitching, they were beaten in late game situations all 3 times. Aj Burnett struggled, McGowan danced with the devil and Accardo was choking on air.
They head south to Arlington where they face the Texas Rangers. A team that is rebuilding, or so it seems. Texas is coming off 2 straight wins over the Baltimore Orioles. For the Jays to win, they are going to have to keep the ball in the park as they do fly in Arlington. They hand the ball to a young Jessie Litsch whose had luck on his side lately. Hopefully that'll snap the Jays 3 game slide and start a new streak.
Lets bring out the bacon and get ready to roll over this weekend series in Texas. Looking for a bounce back in a big way.
Game 1
Friday April 11th

After three late-inning losses in their last three home games, the Toronto Blue Jays are heading somewhere that will conjure up even worse memories.
The Blue Jays will look to end a long streak of struggles in Arlington as they begin a three-game series with the Texas Rangers on Friday.
Toronto (4-5) - fresh off three straight home losses to Oakland - was swept convincingly in their only series at Texas in 2007, getting outscored 21-7 in three losses.
But that

If you have Rogers cable go to Ch. 399 (Jays Vision I think) They're doing a free Preview of MLB innings. Pay stations seem to be the way all sports teams are going now.

Looks like Overbay had a nice double with the bases loaded. Nice to see someone cash in some runners for once.

Hamilton homered. Lead is down to 8-4 now.

I think we can hold down a 4 run lead with one to go.

back on the right track. Offense decided to show up today.
The AL east is pretty much even at this early point in the season.
