Norris vs. Buehrle (LHP)

Get 2 out of 3 now while they still have some key guys missing.

You're always talking about being greedy.  I want a sweep!  It's there for us.  Any of their guys could have a nice start and shut us down, especially the way we've been hitting, but none are really pitching well right now, with the exception of Happ who is very up and down, kind of like Ubaldo, either really good or pretty bad.

There is no way we are sweeping them in the Skydome or whatever the hell they call it.

[Mackus]

What's magical about the Skydome?  The amazing fans?

[bnickle]

Their amazing cheating fans.

Seriously, we just seem to struggle up there.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Yeah, seems like there have been a bulk of GPL's (gut punch losses) at SkyDome the past few years.

[Chris B]

Brett Lawrie will be back for tonight's game.

The bleepin Astros just beat them 3 times in a row, no reason we can't do the same.

The city surrounding it.  Toronto is an amazing town, big city US feel to it but extremely clean.

 

The Rogers Centre, though, is an absolute pit.  Joins Tampa and Oakland as one of the three worst places in baseball.  Seriously, if the Jays had waited just a few years to build a new park, and they had a really nice place to play along the Lake with a retractable roof that wasn't a complete eye-sore, it would be amazing.

Good opportunity to establish an even greater distance. Five up in the loss column right now, would love to see it at eight.

As someone who was just in Toronto in June, I agree. It was the shit for like a year or two, and then OPACY changed the game. An intimate, open air stadium would be nice there though.

It wasn't as bad with the roof open.  But very odd place to watch a game.

 

If Rogers is 3 out of 10, the Trop is -6.

Markakis is a lifetime .435 (20-for-46) hitter vs Buehrle. Per STATS, it's his highest mark vs any pitcher & highest for anyone vs.  Buehrle

Notice CD has been lowered.

[SportsGuy]

Norris has been great vs the BJs this year.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Great start for Nicky.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Damn.

[GabeFerguson]

Manny is so slow.
