Yankees threatened to put Blue Jays 'Scooter Gang' in jail

6

"He just got a bunch of them and we were like kids in a candy store," [Josh] Donaldson said. "They all showed up when we were playing the Yankees in New York. Then the Yankees security tried to tell us they were going to take us to jail if we rode them at the stadium. We were like, ‘€˜We don’€™t need to go jail so let’€™s put them away.’ I’€™m not going to jail."

Dickey throws shade at Francisco

101

"We just sent down one of the best defenders in the game in my opinion in Ryan Goins, so you’ve got depth. You’re no longer having to sling a Juan Francisco out there at every position, you’ve got a guy who can really defend just waiting for an opportunity."

Going for long-sleeve T-shirt day this Sunday. Any tips on how early I need to go - and is one Gate better than another? Thanks!

"I’m the first guy to not make excuses," said Mark Buehrle, "but last year was tough. It was an adjustment. A lot of new faces. A new country. I really missed my dog. There was the World Baseball Classic, injuries, and, God love him, but we trotted out one of the worst everyday catchers in the modern era.

Congratulations Pikachu, I'm sure you will do us proud.
