Jose Bautista finally got the batting average up over .200. Five homers in his last eight games is a good sign. He's been decent at the plate recently, and looking a lot more menacing.

It's a great sight to see and if Encarnacion gets hot again and Escobar continues to hit well then it should make things better for Bautista as well.

I'm more impressed at times by the poise of the pitchers on the back end of the Jays rotation. They're incredibly young but they don't let emotions run high or get frustrated when they're in a jam. This augers well for the future IMO.

Went to PETCO tonight...what a AAA ball club the Friars are running out there right now. Pathetic...good time though.

Seriously. Top three in the rotation lose all in a row, but Drabek and Hutchison totally step up.

This is what happens when you have a crappy ownership situation with a small market team where MLB doesn't give a damn.

Complete game shutout for Brandon Beachy. Gorgeous.

I'll probably never be able to utter this phrase again, but i'm excited for the Nats/O's series this weekend.

Natitude vs. the Oriole Way

Kerry Wood has retired.

Re: 5/14 - 5/20 Game Discussion Thread

Kerry Wood has retired.

Who had the more disappointing career? Mark Prior or Kerry Wood?

Anyway, big series starts tonight. Fans should be coming out with nice weather, fireworks after the game, Joe Carter bobblehead Saturday...Indians said to be expecting 30,000 a game this weekend.

So please, Tribe. Don't lose.

Re: 5/14 - 5/20 Game Discussion Thread

Prior and it's not even close

[DieHardYankee26]

Re: 5/14 - 5/20 Game Discussion Thread

Definitely Prior. After Wood's promise, he was never the same but he basically reinvented himself and at least stayed in the Majors. Prior fell off the face of the Earth.

Kerry Wood has retired.

MLB.com reporting he wants to make one more appearance (and I'd be shocked if it didn't happen today, somehow). But yeah, basically retired.

Between their ridiculous TV deal which has lead to another year where I can't watch a single game of theirs on TV, to the horrid on field product, to the fact I just don't enjoy going to games at Petco, they again this year won't see another dime from me.

Although I am going this weekend for the Angels series those tickets were comped.

Wood comes in to pitch the 8th, faces one batter, strikes him out. Walks off the mound for the final time. What a scene
