Hello everyone!! Carm here instead of Mr. Dakers who is apparently helping his son move and cannot be here to put together this evening's Game Thread. SO he asked me to do it for him. I said sure...but it'll cost him a couple of drinks!
I have to admit, I really don't read the preliminary game threads all that often (even though TFSML's are extremely creative) so I had to do a quick skim through a couple to see what I needed to include!
Now I have absolutely no clue how to insert the pitcher info and lineups to make it look all pretty like everyone does but I'll try after the jump.
You ALL know the rules so be good and have fun and Go Jays Go!!
Title from my all time favourite Canadian band, Blue Rodeo.
