Showdown pic mojo! GT started 30 hours before game time! Good idea putting the date at the end of the title because then you can see more of the actual title in the "last message posted by" thing on the main forum page. We gotta do as good as the Jays against the Tigers to make ourselves look good. Jays will be playing last year's NL champs while we do this series so we got a chance at moving up.

 

How come the Jays' start time tomorrow is 7:07 and ours is 7:08? Unusual; start times are usually on multiples of 5 minutes.

Toronto's start time has always been on the "7"s at their park. The 7:08 start must be a Detroit thing. Don't recall seeing that before.

[Palodios]

On paper, this game seems almost winnable. Hopefully Rubby got a big confidence last time out... this one might be a bit tougher.

[Thunder]

With Scherzer and Sanchez in the last two games of the series, we need this one. Rubby looked good from what I saw of him last time.

I wasn't doing anything at work and you inspired me to make a graphic for the game threads. Lets hope the Jays cool off.

I think RDLR can put up a repeat performance from last time, dude looked sharp!

We badly need a win RSNC84. We cannot afford to get waylaid as we did in Cleveland. It would be nice to see Drew and Bradley and Sizemore on the pine tomorrow along with Ross so we can put our best offensive team on the field.

[Navafan29]

If we can get in second before September I like our odds a lot. We're 3.5 GB of second.

I hate when we face lefties.

[Wasatch]

We need a win. Go RedSox!

[Bellhorn04]

I hate when we face lefties.

 

Our offence has actually been slightly less inept against lefties.

[a700hitter]

Good start. Holt continues to look like Wade Boggs in the lead off spot and XB continuing to drive the ball. 1 run in.

[Wasatch]

C'mon RedSox!

[Station 13]

De La Rosa changeup is nasty.

[a700hitter]

Rubby is looking sharp so far.

[Spudboy]

Maybe Ruby is a gem?

[Station 13]

Two cheap hits.

[Navafan29]

For a matchup between two AL powerhouses this game feels pretty casual.

You considered this Red Sox team a powerhouse?

[Wasatch]

This RedSox team is no powerhouse at this time, maybe, just maybe in and hopefully in Mid Aug (starting at least at this time, and be pretty good before that also). For some reason to me this Division is pretty close right now, just about every team in this Division had a bad start.

[NativeBostonian]

I don't know why. But, it bothers me when A.J. walks to first on a groundball.

[NativeBostonian]

Can JBJ suck anymore offensively?

[Station 13]

welp. Maybe we can do it against the Tigres bullpen.

[Spudboy]

This could be a long night.

[Station 13]

This could be a long night.

 

Or a short one. This game is flying by without Clay or Felix pitching.

[NativeBostonian]

Good job Gomes. Then there is A.J.......

[Navafan29]

GJ working that count AJ.

[yankthis]

This could be a long night.

 

Nah. They're getting Mujica warmed up, just in case there's a tie or a lead to relinquish.

Baseball is actually staged like the WWE and the writers want the Red Sox to have a comeback storyline this year. So they arranged to have Mujica on our team as a handicap to drop us in the standings.
