Alright guys, we're heading to Beantown to face the Red Sux. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty fired up. The sneeze shirt is locked and loaded (I'm not just talking about the nostrils), Joey Bats returns home, and I just hate Boston with a passion.

VERSUS

Image

Game 1 - Friday, June 12th
7:10PM EST start time
Drew Hutchison vs. Joe Kelly

Game 2 - Saturday, June 13th
1:35PM EST start time
RA Dickey vs. Clay Buchholz

Game 3 - Sunday, June 14th
1:35PM EST start time
Marco Estrada vs. Eduardo Rodriguez

I look forward to Dickey vs. Buchholz. I'm kidding, no I don't. God, I wish my poll scenario could actually happen, I'd pay to watch that ****. Let's win some baseball games, maybe?

The answer is obvious.

What are you guys using to surf real GM?

I'm using the real GM app on an older nexus Android phone. I don't see the polls. I also only see tweet links and not the content

Ya, you have to click on them then hit "webview". It's a bit annoying but I generally browse and comment with the app rather than on desktop.

Can we have a small section in Rogers Centre devoted to Phil Coke supporters? Kinda like what Seattle does with King Felix. We can call them the coke heads... Just think of the marketing opportunities

11-18 on the road vs 20-12 at home.

We've been pretty awful on the road this season. If this season is going to turn around we're going to have to win some close games on the road. We'll always mash at the Dome but winning some close games and getting solid pitching on the road is the key to making an actual, consistent run this year.

Phil Coke is pretty awful. Hopefully Gibby is strict about letting him face left-handers only. I'd rather give Rasmussen another shot (though he's still walking too many guys). Hopefully it's Schultz going down; Tepera deserves more of a look.

I said it before the season, that Panda contract is going to be an albatross. I don't know what rational person would look at Panda's numbers the last three years, and then at his physique, and then conclude it would be wise to give him a 6-year contract with an AAV of $17M. One of the most dumbfounding free agent signings I've seen in a while.

Boston is the worst team in the division; anything less than 2 of 3 here would be disappointing.

“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."

both sandoval and ramirez contracts are albatrosses as early as now and it's fantastic. -0.7 WAR between them both so far for $39 million this season and every season through 2018.

Bautista outplays his contract by more than $70 million over the next four seasons (2013-2016).

It's really nice to have in-division reminders of just how bad at idea it is to sign most 30-somethings to long-term deals.
