Yankees lose again. Jays managed to gain a half a game on them this week even after the sweep.

Unfortunately at this point A's losses are more important than Yankee ones.

I hope they don't sit Snider down to play a "HOT" Rajai in LF just to accommodate Gose in RF

Snider has completely out preformed Gose, no logic in playing Gose. But Farallel is our manger, so anything is possible.

Rajai will likely start all games against lefties, as he should. I would assume Snider will get most starts in left, and then against a righty we start Gose and Snider.

Omg that would be like Cito playing Fred Lewis over Snider all over again.

Anywho, tricky series, Cecil pitching scares me..

hopefully the A's 12 innings and long flight helps out Cecil. perfect series for the Jays to make up a game.

It's too bad it's a day off tomorrow otherwise they A's would probably be tired :( It's actually somewhat weird having another off day so soon.

have both Griffin and Milone in fantasy, and won't be starting either of them. Don't the Jays usually struggle with the A's? Anyway, here's hoping for the first 6 game winning streak of the season. :D
