6/19 Juneteenth in Toronto. Ready to sweep?

[Maxbialystock]

That's 4 errors by the Jays. My, my.

 

7-3, Sox, with 6 outs to get.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

4 errors tonight by the team that entered tonight's game with best fielding % in AL. Thank you, Toronto.

[Maxbialystock]

The SOX should easily have had at least 9 runs this game. Lot of LOB's.

 

9 hits, 7 runs--a pretty good ratio, I would think.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm sorry, Jays, but I don't like those uniforms. West Pointers are sometimes called the "black knights of the Hudson," but they don't actually dress that way.

 

I like the Jays and I like Toronto.

 

 

Those are their 'city connect uniforms.' Not many here are fans of the SOX 'city connect uniforms.'

[Maxbialystock]

What the hell is Duran doing??

 

If Manny can be Manny, let Jarren be . . . fined!

[vegasbob]

From watching them in the field, I'd say Blue Jays are on the edge of dysfunctional tonight.

I thought that might be the case. Too funereal.

 

I definitely got used to the blue and yellow uniforms, which I agree are not good baseball colors.

[Maxbialystock]

Bonds during an interview said that whether or not he took steroids he still had to hit the ball. He was unaware, I guess, that when he did hit the ball, it went a longer distance. Truly not a likable guy.

 

I liked his Dad, Bobby Bonds.

It's those uniforms.

Martin's throw to first was weak. Needs to improve

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Never saw that before. SOX trying to find new ways to get injured.

[vegasbob]

There's the sweep and season high win streak matched at 5 games. Good to see Chris Martin have an inning to get himself back in the mix.

[Maxbialystock]

Great play by Martin!!!! That guy wants to win, and so do the Sox.

 

5 straight!!!!! Thanks to Martin, Bello, the Sox, SPLENDIDSPLINTER, vegasbob, and all the ships at sea.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jays' payroll 40 million more than the SOX. Not much bang for the buck there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Martin's throw to first was weak. Needs to improve

 

I thought he showed good accuracy.

Vegas still holds this season's record of 5 straight. Might want to give him an extension on his contract.

Btw, Vegas, is this your contract year? I believe 5 years at 5 million would be fair.

Now that the team has 40 wins, I'll gladly accept all donations. Let's sweep the Reds

[Maxbialystock]

Dugo is playing CF for the Yankees and just made a terrific grab in deep CF with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 9th. However, the Orioles still lead, 5-4.

As unpopular as Dugo was as a SOX, no one ever complained about his defense.

But it got a 10 on style points

I did see that and sure enough the Yankees got to Kimbrel in the bottom of 9th for a run to take the game into extras.

Hope people realize I was joking on Martin. Glad he is back and it was actually an important play because the infielders would not have been able to help

By the way , Boone pulled him from the lineup when Aaron realized Dugo was wearing two chains, not just the allowed 1.

Dugo is a 'chain' of fools.

[Maxbialystock]

Orioles scored 2 in the 10th for the win. Twins and Royals--our competitors for wild card--both lost.

 

First two starters in Cincy are Crawford and Pivetta. No name listed for the 3d game on Sunday. Assuming Criswell stays out (Worcester?), the next guy up would be Houck, who pitched yesterday, so by Sunday he will have had 5 days rest.

[moonslav59]

Nice game. I watched it at a friends house, here in Portland, ME.

 

I'm not sure how many people said the F word, tonight.

 

Fun this...

 

Fun that...

My daughter keeps saying the Yankees did Verdugo dirty by making him shave and look like a 12 year old. But you’re saying the Yankees have even more asinine rules to adhere to…

Yes, the one chain rule was noted in Spring Training.

[Maxbialystock]

I'm kind of anti-beard, so the Yankee rule doesn't bother me. But overall I think beards are harmless.

 

The gold chains, on the other hand, strike me as vanity run amuck--and that absolutely includes guys like Mookie Betts. When I see the chains, I silently hum "I feel pretty" from West Side Story. Interestingly, neither actress who played Maria in the two West Side Story movies wore a necklace for the simple reason they had to dance.
