Next time Tom, make sure to leave a trail of breadcrumbs.

Turns this inning around

This was supposed to be a stress free day with Doc pitching and great hitting!

all those games we were behind and never mounted a sniff of a comeback
the one game we build a huge lead and give it all back in one garbage inning

yeah right
I’d be surprised if we win one in Boston

right, sorry

yep
like rios wandering off second base.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
and yet
I am still watching this game
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Remember how we said it would be a good time to hit a homer before?
Uh, that is compounded now.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
im blaming this on cito
what was carlson doing out there? hes been incredibly inconsistent…
whatever happened to our best-in-the-league pen?
I don't know what Cito was doing...
he knew Cy pitched 1.2 yesterday…he should have seen right away that he was tired
I figured he was only in the game to pitch to Huff and Scott.
when he couldn’t get them, he should’ve been gone
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
when relievers hit batters
they should be yanked
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Good thing we got that sac fly
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
robert andino with the greatest game of his life
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Of course, if Doc
didn’t give up the homer to Scott, the Jays might still ahve a lead
-- Gravity is not just the law, it's also a good idea
Sure
blame it on the guy who pitched 7 innings and gave up 3 instead of the one who pitched 1/3 and gave up 4?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Actually Carlson was charged with 5
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
If Doc didn't give up the lead
maybe we don’t score 6.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Jeez folks
It’s called sarcasm.
Also called spreading the blame around
-- Gravity is not just the law, it's also a good idea
Spreading the blame to one of the guys who doesn't deserve it
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
My bad
I forgot Doc can do no wrong. I’ll show myself to the self-mutilation room now
-- Gravity is not just the law, it's also a good idea
of course he can do wrong
but he didn’t do too much wrong today
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
it's a question of how much wrong do you expect
are you expecting him to pitch a perfect game?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Ever since he took that no-hitter into 9th vs Detroit
Also, I grew up watching Dave Stieb
-- Gravity is not just the law, it's also a good idea
so it seems pretty clear
we go down 1-2-3, then they win the game in the bottom of the 9th
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

I'd like to blame it on Cito
and certainly he didn’t help. But even the worst possible managerial choices shouldn’t be giving up 5 runs in one inning
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
He had been bad in games where he wasn't tired
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Roy needs to...
Start some shit…. start a fight with cito or vernon or carlson and get people pissed off. this isnt funny anymore.
he should just leave
its a crying shame that the best pitcher in baseball has not tasted the playoffs… and apparently he wont with this garbage team either
Oh my lord
I left my office to patrol at Jays being up 1-0. Just came back to see this mess.

C'mon Frasor.
Let’s see some clutch from early this year. Don’t regress to last year like the offense.

Interesting?
I wouldn’t call it that. I’d say depressing.
How is the game looking? I’m stuck at work looking at the numbers, not seeing the players out there makes it tough to gauge whether there is hope still or if they’re playing deflated.

agree, but I have the feeling we are

Well, if they tag about 5 runs, I figure BJ can spot them one or two before getting the third out.

I really hope that catch (donno how good it was, can't watch) sparks the team
I remember reading years ago that there was a study on the player’s offensive improvment immediately following a great defensive play..

This is why I don't understand why Carlson was in so long
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I don't understand why Carlson was in at all
He leads the bullpen in appearance and is overused!
agreed
i made the same point when he was brought in.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
What does a bullpen coach do?
Someone should be reminding Cito about these little things.
Except for Sherrill
Who else does Baltimore still have in the pen?
Baez can go 9 innings at this rate
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
even if Cito made the wrong choice
it’s the players’ fault it worked out this badly – there’s not a 5 run/inning swing between the best bullpen choice and the worst
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Cito
very few others
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
well, it's carlson's fault he pitched badly
but cito should have done damage control way sooner.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Scoot gets on
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
bullpen setup needs some work
Joining the action late but from looking at the boxscore it looks like Roy left a little early? Or at least Cito needs to figure out now that Downs is the closer who is the 8th inning guy? I don’t have time to look it up, but my memory tells me Carlson has played a pivotal role in screwing up 3 games in the 8th just on this losing streak and yet he is out there again in the 8th today (the pitching equivalent of not messing with the batting order perhaps.) Then that is compounded by bringing in the closer in the 8th. It looks like Frasor needs to be the 8th inning guy then Downs the closer. That formula could have saved us the potential pain of watching Ryan pitching now…..since Cito likes everybody to have a role I’m surprised he hasn’t applied it to the bullpen yet….
They moved Tallet to the rotation
BJ and Carlson haven’t been good, and Downs pitches the 9th. We have no LOOGY anymore.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
does BJ have a picture of Cito with a donkee or something?

1-2 foul back

So you can watch the game online in England?

I can't watch any more
another 1-2 single through the right side
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Wolfe
at least give up three runs this inning instead of prolonging the agony
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I would go to League
and hope for the DP
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
hwo about Richmond
he is going to miss his spot in the rotation?
Seems weird to me
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I am gutted......

so.......
will anyone still be watching this weekend?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
i might turn it on if we have a lead
then turn it off the first base runner the Sox get cause i know it’ll only go down hill from there
Nope.
I don’t care anymore

How do you lose this game?
After losing eight in a row, how do you let this game get away?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I don' tknow....I don't get it......
how do you make those choice…how do you lose in extras with League in the pen still?
I understood going to Ryan
going to Wolfe was totally inexcusable
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Ryan wasn't that bad.
he let up one runner and got one out
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Leaving Carlson in after the first two on and not using league was just.....
there are no words….he should be fired now
Once carlson hit that batter
there is absolutely no reason to leave him in.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Nice work bullpen
You f*cking assholes.
Suckage Jays? Everyone. It takes a whole team to lose that bad

offense doesn't deserve it really
and doc and frasor don’t
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
unless you say doc deserves it
for not leaving this team when he had the chance.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
we did score 10 runs

nothing moral about it
and it’s not any kind of victory. Just an observation
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
that rocked
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Holy crap. That sucked. They suck. I blame Cito. Bringing in BJ Ryan was stupid.
by BigTimeBlueJayFan on May 27, 2009 5:24 PM EDT reply actions
Of all the stupid moves Cito made
you’re bringing up BJ?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yeah, time for Accardo to come back up
dont see how they dont bring him up today or tomorrow. put him as the set-up guy

OK, I have to ask
Why was Millar still playing first? I have to imagine that Overbay would’ve done a better job at getting to either of those balls. Maybe not, but he is a better defensive 1B-man.
And why Brian Wolf? I know that he hates League, but he’s actually been pretty darn good in his last 7 games or so. Just one bad inning.

League was clearly the right call
he has had his control problems but more often than not has been effective
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I'm actually stunned that he brought in Carlson
In the bottom of the eigth, didn’t Carlson face all righties? Wouldn’t League have made sense at that point? Plus the fact that Carlson has lost, like, three games during this streak. Why not go with someone else?

Huff and Scott were due up that inning
so it made sense to go to Carlson – but once he failed to get them out, there was no reason to keep him in the game

well
we showed we can score again. I bet that part of it carries over to the Red Sox series. Still, 3 sweeps in a row is gutting

Some losses are worse than others
I can’t remember a worse one?

This was awful. Real bad. A unmitigated disaster.
by BigTimeBlueJayFan on May 27, 2009 5:30 PM EDT up reply actions
blowing a 5-run lead in the 8th inning and a 2-run lead in extra innings
to extend an 8-game losing streak is about as bad as it can possibly get
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
don't forget that it was on the day your best pitcher went.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
sad thing is
it wasnt really surprising. especially after Carlson hit the batter. you could just see this coming
i dunno. there is no reason what so ever to leave him in there
especially after pitching yesterday. no reason at all.
Not good. Could be three more losses to make it 12 now. All confidence in the bullpen just disappeared.

Bye guys.
See you again. Maybe…

Tomorrow is an off day
Would anyone in the rotation be skipped so that the rest of the starters can keep their routine and give the bullpen an extra arm?
Richmond is already going to be skipped
In the grand scheme of things, the pain of life is not worth it.
I am sad
and I’m going to play softball now

Just got home from school and checked the score and thought I would post my thoughts:
WTF HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
In the grand scheme of things, the pain of life is not worth it.
Doesn't matter
We had rain down here in Atlanta but they played through that and still lost :-S
what the fuck
what the fuck this is absolute horseshit. i can’t follow this team anymore

Side notes
Camp be sent down, he’d have to clear waivers (but who in god’s name would want to claim him).
On a plus note, we set the record (i assume) for most posts in game thread(s)
