Game 59 GameThread: Jays @ Tigers

Go Jays Go

Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports

The start of another series, this time the Blue Jays are in Detroit to face the Tigers. I just listened to the idiot on Sportsnet telling us that this is a statement series. Just shoot me.

Couple of little bits of news:

  • Edwin Encarnacion was named AL Player of the Month for May. I know that surprises all of you.
  • And, if you are tired of reading stuff from me and you think 'hey I'd like to just listen to Tom', last night I talked to Phil Naessens about our team. Phil talked to me, over skype, from Greece. I should have asked him to fly me over for the conversation.

Here are tonight's lineups:
