I think they'll leave it open. Didn't he want to test to see the difference?

If I went to a game when the weather was great and found the dome to be closed, I'd be pretty upset. The atmosphere is so much better in the Dome with the lid off.

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

I can't believe we're at the point where we're not even sure we can win a home series against Seattle. I'm trying to give away my tickets for any of the games on the weekend and no one wants them lol.

With that said, I think they find a way to win 2 of 3.

A few weeks ago I said we would bottom out against the Yankees and Sox, then turn things around against the Mariners, propelling us to an amazing May record. My prediction has been right thus far (easily predicted we'd continue to suck), but now comes the difficult part: actually winning some games against a below average 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.

My theory made so much sense. The Marlins last year were garbage in April, then went 21-6 in May. Considering we added a lot of their players, we should follow the same trend. Can't poke holes in that logic!

I hope we dont follow their trend. They didnt even win 70 games last year.

i just want to see some exciting baseball. At least lose with style if we're going to lose. Thats my only problem with most of these losses is that it was painful to watch. we never rally, it seems most of the time we have 2 men on is from walks. We rarely turn doubles yet we teams turn 2 on us with their eyes close. I just want to see some good baseball. /rant
