WIN.

[ANiMAL]

I'm worried about this one. I dont want to get swept at home. We need JT to just hold TOR to 2 runs for 6 innings and then we'll have a chance.

[BoSox21]

the bats are still fairly hot. they got guys on yesterday, just couldn't bring em in except for Duddy

[schillingouttheks]

Getting swept in a 2 game series isn't much to be upset about...

 

I would love to win this f***ing game though. Let's go into Baltimore with a W behind us and sweep that series. We need another hot streak going into New York.

[EvilDonut]

The Jays lost the past two when Roy and Tavarez have been matched up. We have pissed off ace mojo.

[schillingouttheks]

Knock 'em out, Tavarez!

Literally? cause may get suspended for 10 games again, poor Joey Gathright...

[adam123]

Go Tav.. just get us to 6th inning we can take over from there . Go SOX

[TedWilliams101]

Watch Tavarez come out and throw a no hitter. I wish. 6 solid innings will be a job well done, lets hope our offense can back him tonight.

[jacksonianmarch]

hahahahah

[TGov]

Does Tavarez have a "thing" for Dice-K or what...?

[Look at Doug Mirabelli, he's like "what the hell are they doing" haha]

 

I wonder if Tavarez is going to pitch in on someone tonight like he told Dice-K to do to ARod...

[BoSox21]

look where Dice's hand is, I think he's the one who's into Tavarez

[jacksonianmarch]

haha, your pitchers are gay.

[BoSox21]

I don't judge but maybe he likes Julian's gyroballs

[TGov]

I don't judge but maybe he likes Julian's gyroballs

 

... he just reacted to Julian diving into him...

and the sarcasm train has left the building.

[TheKilo]

haha' date=' your pitchers are gay.[/quote']

 

Maybe. At least we don't have one named after the penis.

[Thumper]

If can Tavarez can just hold 6 innings we can get some good relieft and then Paps to close for us. But the thing is... how man runs will Tavarez give up before the 6th?

 

And we need the offense to be there like they were against the Yankees. Maybe get Lowell back in some clutch action.

I really, really hope we keep Paps out of this, I'd like him to have another days rest, or at least, not be used on tomorrow or thursday.

Good point. It would be better to save him again on the Yankees.

 

Besides, it's still early in the season. How bad could this loss make it?

[adam123]

Glad to see Youk get the day off he's been hit 2 times over the last couple of days plus I like Hinske . Everytime I see that guyy he has a double

[riverside sluggers]

I dont know about Paps being rested for 4 days straight

[EvilDonut]

For some reason i was thinking he was used yesterday, but still, i hope hes available for the yankees, I think Oki can handle the Orioles fine.

[BoSox21]

I like Hinske in there but I would've preferred to see Drew batting second tonight. I understand he's there to protect Manny but with the was Lowell has been swinging lately, he could do a good enough job of protecting Manny for one night
