Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays, May 29, 2009 7:07 PM EDT
Today's thread comes from a song off Roman Candle's new record, Oh Tall Tree in the Year, which I have been listening to more or less constantly since I got it earlier this week.
The Jays look to get back on track today and there are no major changes to the team in terms of bullpen or lineup. That said, Cito agreed that he needs to give Jesse Carlson more of a break. In addition, he confirmed that Scott Richmond will be the one skipped over so that the other starters remain on usual rest. Why Richmond? Because "he's the fifth starter." Robert Ray apparently has a right shoulder strain, hopefully it's nothing serious. And Scott Downs, who has been nursing a hamstring strain, is availalbe to pitch - hopefully better than he has his last two times out.
Casey Janssen starts for the Jays, while Jay-frustrator Tim Wakefield pitches for the BoSox. Let's go Jays!

Today is a good day
Sun is shining, Moosehead is chilling, Steaks are seasoned, and today is the day that the Jay’s get off the schneid.
GO JAYS

according to Tom
no self-respecting Calgarian (Calgarite?) drinks Moosehead. Tom, I think you’ve been trapped in the “no true Scotsman” fallacy

I've started to sour on Keith's myself
used to drink it a lot, not so into it anymore. I’ve started going to Newcastle Brown Ale as my go-to 6 pack (actually cheaper than a 6 pack Keith’s, though 12 or 24 are more expensive)

and that stuff only makes sense in Europe, where beer is cheaper than Coke.

We just lost 9 in a row. NINE GAMES. Franchise record.
We are two games behind the Yankees and Bosox.
To me, that is incredible…in a crazy silver lining sort of way.

well if his knuckler is effective he probably won't throw as many anyway
so his pitch count could be an indicator of ineffectiveness as much as a the cause of it.
