Game 3 GameThread: Blue Jays @ Rays

By Tom Dakers
Brian Blanco

We have a new moderator. Take a bow Gerse. Give him the same respect you give to...well, try to be nice to him.

While I'm talking about moderators, I want to remind everyone that the threads are not the place to argue rules. During the games, I want to watch the game, surprisingly enough. If you have a problem with the rules or how they are enforced, send me an email, and I can deal with it after the game. Course if you are going to send me that email, maybe don't tell me how terrible the site is and how much you hate it. I might lose interest in your suggestions for improving the rules.

Tonight the Jays are facing another good, young Rays pitcher Matt Moore. He was pretty good last year:
