Alright, guys. It's about that time. Welcome to the game that most of you are going to struggle to watch due to work and schooling conflicts. But, alas, the show must go on, and so the Texas fellows will square off with the Birds in the afternoon.

It'll be this guy...

Going against this guy...

That's right fellas, those Texas Rangers are back tomorrow for Game 2. Questions concerning both teams' health come into play. It is unclear if Donaldson will be around for this game, one can only hope he's healthy enough. Jose Bautista is expected to play.

Meanwhile, on Texas' side, Jeff Banister has said it is unlikely Adrian Beltre will play.

The key to this game is for the Jays to do their thing against a lefty. Tulowitzki hits lefties very well and had two very well-hit balls today. If Donaldson is in, he's another threat. Stroman lives for playoff pressure. I thought they had a better offensive showing than their three runs that was the total in the box score. If they can come out tomorrow and those hard-hit balls start falling for hits, I like it.

Let's go win us a baseball game. You know I'm ready. Bruno is ready. Rhett is ready. Randle is ready. Latrell is ready. BLC is ready. The whole RealGM fam is in this, and you know that we ready.

KP da sneeze god will provide. Yeehaw!

They need to score in the first couple of innings to take some of the pressure off.

I am hoping for a serious offensive output from the jays tonight. Minimum 10 runs scored by them today.

Colabello. EE and Donaldson with dingers today.

Stroman going to take Price under his wing. Teach him how not to be a pussy.

How the hell am I supposed to concentrate at work today once 12 rolls around?

Anyways... I actually feel very confident in Stro that he will not **** his pants like Price.

I think the bats wake up today, as long as one of JD or Bautista plays.

Okay let's go here. This is a must win. Going to be another tough game - hopefully Stroman can outduel Hamels.

C'mon boyssss let's attack early

I don't do this a lot, but I guarantee Stroman will win this game. The only way we lose is if Osuna or Sanchez comlpetely f it up in the final innings but Stroman will do everything in his power and then some to set us up for a win.
