Man I can't believe it's been over 20 years since we last made the postseason...

We win a series against New York and Baltimore but lose 3-1 to Tampa sadface

I had two of Bob Uecker's seats for one of those Braves v Jays World Series games in 92 - the top row at SkyDome.

So I jumped in my time machine and picked up a pair of tix for tonight's rematch - but in row 13 lower bowl instead.

Reyes fractured his rib. It looks like we'll be stuck watching Goins for a while, at least until he's so bad that they're forced to bring up Kawasaki again like last year.

Damn, Reyes is made of glass.

Goins wasnt bad in ST, IIRC. At least he's solid offensively.

Goins is the 10th worst hitter in franchise history for guys with over 100 career PA (41 wRC+). He may be the best defensive infielder they've ever had, though.

Lol brainfart. I meant defensively.

Haha, he definitely is that.

Reyes has a cracked rib, but it isn't clear yet how long he's out. Does this guy have plastic bones and rubber bands for tendons and muscles?

Who's going to bat leadoff?

Let's let Travis do it.

He can't last 10 games without a DL stint and is owed $22 mil/year until end of 2017 with $4 mil buyout in 2018. Hopefully they can move that horrible contract when/if they blow this thing up at some point this year or offseason assuming we miss the playoffs.

Gonna be pessimistic and predict we lose 2 of 3

Reyes played a 143 games last year{2nd most on the team) and missed 2/5th of a season in 2013 with a broken ankle, staying healthy overall might be a skill but can you be skilled at not breaking your ankle?

People are pretty unfair towards him, he's averaged 132 games in the past three years, Jose Bautista has averaged 118 and i don't see people **** on him every time he has to miss a couple of games.

Michael Bradley · Post #16 » by **Michael Bradley** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 7:43 pm

Navarro DH'ing again and batting 5th. Gotta keep his red hot bat in the lineup.

I miss Lind.

I'm feeling bullish on this series. I predict Jays take two, maybe all three

Travis jerseys are about to sell out.

Devon Travis is a god damned hero.
