2011 Blue Jays/MLB Thread

This might be the most unusual piece of MLB news I've heard. ESPN Chicago reports that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen traded to the
Marlins for 2 minor-leaguers.

Ha ha!  Imagine if that were possible!

It is.  When Lou Pinella went to Tampa, they traded Randy Winn to Seattle as compensation.
 
Another crazy baseball evening!

Boston up 5-3 on Baltimore. Sox had a fast hook on Bedard, when he gave up two runs and put two on with one out in the third. Now Zach Britton has walked a couple in the 4th. Last team standing again, it appears.

Rays / Yanks tied 2-2 in the 5th. Rays pretty much have to sweep, IMO, to have a chance. I can't see the O's sweeping the Sox.

Talk about your choke jobs - Atlanta getting whooped again, but St. Louis behind 1-0 to Houston (oops, in the time it took me to type that it is now 5-0). War of attrition over there.

Jays already 0-5 with runners in scoring position through 3 innings, trail 1-0.
 
Well, unless the Cards blow a 6 run lead in the 9th, both wildcard races are going to be tied heading into the final day of the regular season.
 
This Phil Umber guy is pretty good, at least according to Uck Artinez and At Abler. Orrow isn't having a great game though...
 
The offence has been terrible the last week of the season. Looking at the averages, you can see why. Six of the nine guys in the lineup today are batting .220 or below.
 
Despite some incompetent management by Farrell, the Jays have managed to take the lead on some even more incompetent pitching by the White Sox.

Haha, what was that...1 hit and 3 walks? Fantastic. McCoy is terribad. Like...awful. Hopefully Thames actually gets a hit here to put the game out of reach.

Two hits, actually. Two walkbis. I like how Jerry and Alan back when Thames first came up used to call him a "big play hitter". He is closer to "Edwin Encarnacion with runners in scoring position" than "big play hitter". Too bad, it would have been nice to see Bautista with one more shot at the plate.
 
And the season ends with a win on a blown save, rather than a loss on a blown save (although Francisco tried to help that one along). .500 season for the Jays. Woo hoo.

Now on to the real baseball season!
 
A loss might have been the better result for the team (depending what some other teams do tonight), but, ending the season with a win is a nice moral victory.

What did Francisco do? He gave up an infield single...

On a curve that was outside the zone as well. He made a good pitch, the batter just got lucky...not sure how he pulled that towards 3rd either, good defensive at bat I guess. Francisco definitely not at fault there. Made a good pitch in my opinion.
 
David Price with the choke in his team's biggest game of the season, six runs in four innings, Yankees are pounding Tampa 7-0, and with Boston up 3-2 on a rain delay in Baltimore, things look dim for the Rays.

Atlanta simply does not want to make it into the playoffs easily. After leading 3-1, runs in the 7th and 9th tie the game up (they were lucky they didn't lose it right then and there). St. Louis is up 7-0 on Houston, so Atlanta HAS to win to force a playoff (I don't see Houston coming back).
 
Umm... err... spoke too soon? Yanks 7-0 lead is down to 7-6. This one isn't over yet.

Edit: Rays tie it with two outs in the 9th!
 
ray and yankees are tied 7-7 in the 11th inning and red sox r winning 3-2 in the 9th inning and the braves and phillies r tied 3-3 in top of the 13th and the cards beat houston 8-0 tonight
