    Official Toronto Blue Jays "Birds Nest" Thread

    It's been due.Can't believe we've went this long without an official thread.Anyway,we head off to Oakland today for a 3 game set.Hopefully we can improve on our record.Sad part is that we aren't gonna see Zito,who's looked miserable so far this season.Most of the A's young pitchers have faired well this season.

    Blue Jays (4-2) Athletics (3-3)

    One of those young pitchers will get beat badly this week. Usually young/rookie pitchers get rocked early in the season or if they don't they'll hit the wall at some point.

    It'll be interesting to see how both clubs do in the first game as they both had long trips to Oakland.

    If the Jays can keep playing team ball like this then I think they'll take 2 of 3.

      I was hoping one of us Jays fans would start one of these threads! Anyways, its too bad that all 3 of these games wont be on either Sportsnet or TSN. In regards to tonights game both pitchers looked really strong in their first outings of the season so this one is too tough to call, I'm just hoping for the pen to come through tonight to clean up any mess Chacin gets into hopefully Walker set an example to the other members of the bullpen in yesterdays game, our offense on the other hand we shouldn't have to worry about coming off with a win in that Boston series seems to have given the team a great deal of confidence.

        Only if you had the Rogers or BEVU package could you see the games through the Oakland feed.I might Order MLB TV or just go gamecast for the whole series.

          You guy's are literally killing us..i mean its the 5th inning and i'm waving the white flag 7-0 and the onslaught won't stop......

          it's never a good sign when you have to pull your pitcher out after 3.2 innings when he's given up 8 hits 6 runs and walked 3 guys, and our offense is playing putrid..Chacin hasn't struck anyone out yet..but he hasn't walked anyone either and we just aren't getting on base....

          gotta give props to the Jays though, i think they are legit contenders in the East and at this rate they'll probably sweep us in our home opener

            This team isn't gonna hit a lot of HR's with Carlos gone,but I could see them still scoring some runs.And with Koskie at 3rd and John McDonald,we have a very solid defensive infield and I think Hinske is gonna get better and better at 1st...

            5-2 now..I think we'll lose tomorrow with Towers though vs Haren who's a good young pitcher.

              Towers looked impressive in his debut giving up 4 hits and having 7 K's so I wouldn't count him out just yet.

                  I saw the highlights this morning. Jeez Saarloos got his butt handed to him! I think Eric Hinske has a comeback year in him this year. His new positioning of the hands is allowing him to get to the ball quicker and I think he will be a pretty good 1B. Even when he came up to the bigs I thought he looked more like a 1B anyways.

                          Impressive win by the Jays tonight.

                          Play of the night was when Hinske drove a 3-2 fastball to straight away center.

                          The hitting with RISP has been amazing.

                          3 straight series victories now and the team is in first place overall.

                            Yeah I just read the gamelog. It's amazing how this team is hardly wasting any opportunities. That was their achilles heel for the past few yrs.
