I'd like to see the Jays break out of their slump and take these 2 games..

It'll be great to get some revenge after how bad we got destroyed by the Red Sox in the last series in Fenway Park.

Still going with the "stick the two horrible slumping hitters behind the best hitter" method, eh, Farrell.

does anybody know when adam lind is coming back? i guess putting encarnacion at 1st is not so bad since he does not have to make throws nonetheless it is time for the jays to break out big, usually the first game is always good but facing jon lester today is going to be interesting let's see how things go

He is day to day. They didn't end up giving him a MRI today and Lind said he felt much better. They are hoping not to have to put him on the DL but it's still up in the air.

Lind also said "I can walk around today." and he thinks he might play "after Thursday"

Lester is going to manage to gang rape us by himself. This should be a fun game to watch if you enjoy pitching.

Bautista-Lester matchup will be interesting. I like to see how the best pitchers in the game try to get him out (and whether they even can).

Well, at least he seems to playing almost everyday now. Baby steps.

Though at this rate, Farrell will finally figure it all out in 2050.

Yes, it seems that Molina is no longer Drabek's personal catcher. Maybe he'll actually get to throw his really effective curve ball more than 5 times a start now.

Michael Bradley · Post #14 » by **Michael Bradley** » Tue May 10, 2011 11:04 pm

My god, Bautista is going to walk 150 times this season. Give the man some help.

That was a strike out! WTF Ump!

I see a lot of empty seats at Rogers centre.

Randle McMurphy · Post #16 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Tue May 10, 2011 11:27 pm

Lester didn't even pitch to him.

wow patience. thats new

Post #18 » by **tsherkin** » Tue May 10, 2011 11:30 pm

"I'm not talking to you; f*** you!" Nice.

This is not what I was expecting out of Lester. Good for us.

Post #19 » by **tsherkin** » Tue May 10, 2011 11:30 pm

Nice patience by E5, unexpected but pleasantly so.

GITP for Hill, anyone?
