GameThread for Game 17: Jays @ Rays

By Tom Dakers

Fresh off a sweep of the Orioles the Blue Jays took a late night flight to Tampa for a 3-game weekend series vs the Rays.

The Jays are 9-7, in a three way tie for first in the AL East. The Rays are 8-8, just a game back. I think the East will be tight most of the season.

Apparently the Angels have traded Josh Hamilton. The last GM to touch his nose gets him. Whoops....finished typing that and now I see it is the Rangers who get him.

Jose Reyes, SS David DeJesus, DH
