Where the **** has the time gone?

Magic Number is now 5, hopefully by the end of the week the division will be ours.

The last chunk of the season sees the Jays playing the AL East.

TIME TO BE SPOILERS BABY!


In other news, it looks like Buffalo is going to be the new AAA Affiliate of the Blue Jays as they start negotiations now. This would be huge as the Jays were basically forced into having Vegas as their AAA home the last 3 or so years.

Jacoby Ellsbury breaks up Alex Cobb's no-hitter with a two-run homer in the sixth inning.

Yunel Escobar

Somewhat of a personal dilemma. Nationals are playing the Dodgers starting today.

Gonna have to, apparently, root for the Dodgers to beat up on the Nationals, maybe take two of three to knock down the divisional lead a bit if we capitalize by beating Florida for the next two games.

Gross. Hate having to hope for the Dodgers to win AND putting them in a position to be WC2.

It'll be interesting to hear the Blue Jays presser this afternoon regarding Yunel Escobar. If you guys don't know apparently he had a homophobic slur on his eye black during the game against Boston on Sunday.

Not a good move on his part.

Oh well, hopefully the Jays do well tonight against NYY.

Crazy game at Wrigley last night, game didn't end until 2:20 AM EST. Watched some of the game, it was really funny because there was hardly anyone there and you could hear everything. Would have probably watched they entire game but the Cubs were making Kevin Correia look like Greg Maddux.

For some reason, teams have been running on Yadi a lot recently (past week or so). I still don't understand why. Especially when Dee Gordon was 1 for 3 against him this last series.

Yeah, it really doesn't make sense. Who is dumb enough to do that with cameras everywhere? If it was a joke, you would think his teammates would tell him and keep him out of trouble.

Anybody catch the cubs fan behind the plate in the 9th inning the other night making obscene gestures for 2/3 of the inning before finally getting ejected.

McCann picked a helluva time to do something. Two-run double as part of a three run top of the 9th to tie the game. We're in extras now. Gotta win.

Tigers pick up a big win to keep pace with Chicago, and Cabrera is 2 HR's away from leading in all 3 Triple Crown Categories

Yeah it was just weird, at least the 3 game suspension was justified.

Too bad weather played a part tonight so it'll be a doubleheader tomorrow.
