Rasmussen (chump we got in the Mark Lowe trade -- missing him very much now lol) walks in a run.

Another walk, another run. 6-3 Sox.

Another case of bullpen mis-management by Lloyd tonight. ***-mussen gives up a 2-R base hit and Lloyd gets tossed because he's mad at the umpire because his own pitcher can't throw strikes.

Always find it weird how fans wait till bottom of 9th begins before leaving a losing game. Like whats the point of leaving then? Just wait 5 mins till game ends,or just leave after bottom of 8th or something if you wanna leave early...you watch top 9th randomly,sit there during the mid inning break, but then leave once bottom of 9th starts?

Go for a drive after it became 8-3 and get home and it's over, 11-4. Jesus, we are not a good ball club.

I loved watching that Fiers No-No. It's nice to see so much emotion and good on AJ Hinch to thumb his nose at pitch counts but man, if Fiers gets an arm injury in his next start everyone is going to go loco.

Nice win for the Jays to start what is a crucial stretch with the Angels and Rangers.

Is AJ Pollock the most underrated player in baseball or what? I know one might look to his teammate, but still. Man. Pollock is ridiculous.

How many games you been to Maj?

He's been to none....but he and the other Jays fans make all us relive their wins at least a thousand times each!

Great use of the video board by the Cubs, playing video of Harry Caray singing the stretch. First time I've seen them do this, I was wondering when they would start.

It was 90's day out in the bleachers yesterday. That was the reason for that.

I think so. Goldy is starting to enter MVP consideration now, even though he is on a bad team. So he really isn't underrated anymore, IMO.

A lot of people on Twitter have been complaining about this.




Looks like pine tar on his glove.

Well, well, well; at least it was more discreet than Pineda.

I still think MLB needs to regulate it somehow...the notion that "it's ok if you hide it" is just preposterous.

Re: 8/17 - 8/30 Game Discussion Thread

Easy to detect if Fiers was using. Just do a breathalyzer on him. He gets so close to his glove that it'll register.

Re: 8/17 - 8/30 Game Discussion Thread

And I'm sure some of these pitchers who do things like that, are the ones who get upset/calling them cheaters when runners on 2nd give signs to the batter about what he's throwing....

How many games you been to Maj?

Hadn't been to any before,but started going to games since late July.......lol

But seriously, I try to go to weekend games whenever I can + have someone else going too. Weekday games,too much traffic to get there. I've been to games late in September with like 15,000 people there(pre-game especially is so sad,it's like you're attending a funeral cause it's so quiet) and I've been to games with 45,000+ people there(which is obviously complete opposite,you can't even stand for a second in the concessions area cause there's hundreds of people going all different directions)

(this actually is a shot of Toronto traffic^)

And obviously,I'm one of last people you should be grouping on the "blue jays bandwagon fans". Sure,might not have talked about them as much at this point in past,but that's cause there's not much to talk about at this point in the season in past years,especially when Jays go like 10-20 in Augusts typically(I think this year is their first winning August in maybe a decade?).

Re: 8/17 - 8/30 Game Discussion Thread

Naw, I was purely curious since you are a Jays fan...I figured you were really excited and trying to go to as many games as possible (especially with the multiple years of mediocrity and non-playoff seasons).

I want to go to Atlanta OD in 2017 when their new stadium opens.

So much for Yankees losing today
