Toronto Blue Jays at Chicago White Sox, Sep 10, 2008 8:11 PM EDT
Jays have a shot at tying their franchise record for longest win streak behind Doc (18-9, 2.64). White Sox have Mark Buehrle (12-11, 3.98) starting, we've had problems all season against LH starters, but then we've been beating everyone lately. I'd never bet against Doc.
Beyond the Box Score has an little bit of analysis about Doc and Cliff Lee and the Cy Young. Very pro Doc which is why I like it. A couple more wins would help his case. Yankees lost to the Angles this afternoon so we are 2.5 games ahead of them and just 1 game back of the Twins.
Game time is 8:00 Eastern tonight, so join us in the game thread tonight. Go Jays.

I was afraif Rios was going to get thrown out trying to score
but Vernon beat him to it

no
word is the new scores come out every week at midnight Wednesday (ie Tuesday night). Nothing this morning, so I guess I have to wait until next week.

ya, a little
they say it can take up to six weeks, and it’s only been two by now. But a bunch of people in my class found out in about two weeks, so I thought I might hear back today. I bet I get the score next week.

Not a good pickoff throw from Doc there
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

Doc's not on top of his breaking stuff yet
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

And they're laying off it as a result

How can there be 4 'Blue Jay fans' that think Tony Batista has been our best 3B?
by Tom Dakers on Sep 10, 2008 8:39 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
how many seasons did he even play 3B for us?
by SuckaMD on Sep 10, 2008 8:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
2 I think.....

by Tom Dakers on Sep 10, 2008 8:44 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Almost the double play
but Bautista can’t stretch for it
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

Overbay gets it
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

Bautista wasn't fully stretched out
and knocked it off his glove while still moving
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

Come on Bautista….we got you for your power vs lefties
by Tom Dakers on Sep 10, 2008 9:18 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That old 2 out magic
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok let's not use bautista at first anymore
by Tom Dakers on Sep 10, 2008 9:22 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, he's costing us more defensively
than he could possibly get us offensively against lefties.

if they want him out there, DH him
by Tom Dakers on Sep 10, 2008 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Can Mench play first?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Bautista really sucks at first
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:22 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
he's not even hitting lefties either
so why is he playing?
by SuckaMD on Sep 10, 2008 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because he should be hitting lefties
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
so should Mench
and we all know how that turned out
by SuckaMD on Sep 10, 2008 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well our whole team has terrible platoon splits
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

All of a sudden Barajas isn't getting the throws to second
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:27 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Doc works out of it
Now for the bats
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:30 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Probably would have hit the track if it hadn't been caught
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:33 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Two chances each for Rios and Wells
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:32 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Infield single
In Rod we trust
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:34 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Rays have them loaded with 1 out in the 8th
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:35 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
And don't score
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lind has managed to hide a power outage
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:36 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
true
but it doesn’t seem like that’s hidden. Anyone who watches him can see that lately
by SuckaMD on Sep 10, 2008 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But we haven't been upset about him hitting 5th
or 6th against lefties
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 10, 2008 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Take Doc out now so he can come back on short rest?
