Divisional Rivals Game Thread: Sat June 7th 2014

The same BBB rules apply as the main Blue Jays game threads, except gifs and photos are welcome here. This is a thread for all baseball games today.

  • We went 2-2 in divisional rivals losses. The Orioles lost, so I would over all say it was a victory.

  • Last night, it looked like the Orioles wanted to lose against the Athletics. In the bottom of the 10th, Nelson Cruz decided to steal homeplate with 2 outs. It didn't work, as he was easily thrown out at the plate. The A's went on to score a run in the top of the 11th, and take the game. Thank you Cruz, Showalter, or whoever made that call.

  • The Rays. They FINALLY won!

  • The Yankees defeated the Royals 4-2. Would be nice to see the Royals win a couple here.

With the Jays game starting at 1:07pm EST, and the rest of our division starting later, this should be quite the lively game thread. Thanks for to everyone that participates, and making these threads a ton of fun!
