Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles, May 27, 2009 1:35 PM EDT
One of the Beatles weirdest songs, it seemed oddly appropriate for today's thread. I can't believe we're staring a 9-game losing streak in the face after riding so high just before, and can't believe we haven't won some of these extremely winnable games recently. However, standing atop the bridge of Moria yelling "you shall not pass, flame of Udun!" (to mix my metaphors) at the ninth straight loss is Doc Halladay.
Each day brings a new chance to get the bats back on track. Rich Hill pitches for the Orioles this afternoon and he's done quite well in his 2 starts. Walks were his undoing last season and he walked 4 in his last start, so the Jays will be wise to make him throw strikes. The lefty-killing lineup is in, despite Overbay being one of the better Jays' hitters recently.
Also, guys, a home run would be nice - you have to go back to the first game of the losing streak to find one, though Wells came quite close yesterday.

if the Jays travel this evening after the game, they can have tomorrow off free and clear before playing again Friday … that would be good for them

They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
