Its debut night! - July 28th 2011 - Orioles @ Jays - Gamethread

A lot of people are looking forward to tonight, although for the life of me I can't understand why, I mean it's just the Orioles right? I don't understand what the draw is at all.

Joking aside, I wonder what the attendance will be at the dome tonight for the debut of our new CF. I would be nice to see the lower bowl packed for the mid-week matchup.

So far the Jays have split the series with the Orioles with a great game behind a masterful performance from their Ace Ricky Romero, cross that with the nightmare of a game that Brandon Morrow threw the night before. Tonight to try and wrap up a series win the Jays are sending Carlos Villanueva to the mound. The Orioles counter with Brad Bergesen.

For the lineups they are posted in full after the jump, but Colby Rasmus is going to slot into the second spot in the lineup behind Escobar, because of the new CF Eric Thames is moving down to the 6th in the lineup.
