GameThread Game #67: Blue Jays at Rays

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

At least John Axford has been having some fun with his errant throw last night. This whole thread is pretty genius.

I'm happy that Axford is able to laugh at his mistakes. We should have warned him about the Curse of the Trop.

Bit of disappointing news on the Tulowitzki front:

In positive news, we officially have 26 new Baby Jays. The team announced today that they have signed 26 of their recent draftees, and 9 of their top 10. List here.

Here are the lineups for tonight. Devon Travis plays a second day in a row following his knee injury, and Granderson is the DH.
