Cheap pun, rushed GameThread due to craziness in the office today. Anyhow, Tom and I are planning to grab a few more drinks after the game tonight, so either watch his (@Bluebirdbanter) or my (@Minor_Leaguer) Twitter feed to see where we're at. Also: if you're gonna be at the game tonight, go say hi!
Also... The place has been set for the Bluebird Banter Draught Day! It will be held right after this Saturday's game against the Phillies at the Loose Moose on Front Street in Toronto. Come by and ask where Bluebird Banter is sitting. Hope to see a lot of you out there.
Nationals lineup: Lombardozzi LF, Harper RF, Zimmerman 3B, LaRoche 1B, Morse DH, Desmond SS, Espinosa 2B, Ankiel CF, Solano C.
Jays lineup: Lawrie 3B, Rasmus CF, Bautista RF, EE 1B, Johnson 2B, Escobar SS, Cooper DH, Davis LF, Mathis C. So JPA on the bench tonight.
Reminder: a few ground rules for the gamethreads that are in effect.
1. Please no GIFs or images during the game threads. The threads go by quick and with a lot of people tend to slow down for people. After the game ends, go crazy with the gifs and pictures.
2. Don't argue with any of the moderators. Think of it like arguing balls and strikes, you can get tossed. If you have a problem with the rules feel free to e-mail Tom (his e-mail is at the bottom of the page). Rules link.
3. No linking to any illegal streams of the ballgame.
