Another win for the jays today,still number one in the american league.Ray pitched an amazing game today.Ricky Romero and Bj ryan are back with Jesse litch almost back as well.Looking great for them.They have the number one offence in the league.Their starting rotation is is 3rd in the league even with 4 starters injured and bullpen is sitting 5th.

the red sox are going to eat you guys apart
but when you play them i'll be rooting for you all 18 games
-
doyers!!!!

the red sox are going to eat you guys apart
I don't know about that. The Jays were 9-9 vs. the Red Sox last year (the Yankees as well) and it's not like they vastly improved their team and I think the 2009 Jays are better than last year's squad. If they end up 9-9 again I'm happy with that.
-
You guys want Carlos Delgarbage back ?
-
Jays are taking the Al east this year,bitches!
-
don't see it
-
Go JAYS!!! Ive been waiting for this since 92,93!!!!!!!!!! Goin on a bus trip to the game on the 26th !!! Should be a shit show!!
-
we're up 6-2 right now in the 6th with DOC on the mound. Looks like another win for the Jays and Roy will move to 8-1!!
-
I'm not sure if I agree with the teams decision to send Romero and janssen to the minors.Your not supposed to lose your job because of injury.Especially when janssen is your number two in rotation and Romero looking incredible this year.Put tallet back in the pen and give that spot to janssen at least.
-
It will be interesting to see what they do when litch marcum and mcgowan come back as well.
-
i hate the red sox so much
-

bad news = you dont face josh beckett
good news = you face jon lester
-
Romero is the shit. He best get his job back.
-
Yeah they sent him to the minors and said said they were sticking with who they have now
-
Yeah they sent him to the minors and said said they were sticking with who they have now
wow :-\
he'll be up in no time
-
From everything I've heard Marcum's might be back in August and it's unlikely you'll see McGowan this year.
I'm hoping Romero is just doing a rehab start or two, but he should get his spot back in the rotation by the end of the month.
Janssen hasn't pitched in 2009 or 2008 and he was the set-up man in 2007. I don't think he's owed a spot in the rotation like Romero.
They should bring up Accardo, I don't know why he's still in Las Vegas. So bring up Accardo and Romero and send down Wolfe and Camp. That should be done for sure. But big decisions are going to have to be made because they have to make room for Janssen and Litsch soon too.
Halladay should be the only starter with a locked spot and somehow pick the best 4 of Litsch, Romero, Janssen, Ray, Cecill, Richmond and Tallet. And Purcey I guess if he can solve his control issues. A good problem to have. They really might have to trade a few young arms while their stock is somewhat high and try to get a long-term solution at SS or 3B.

I think they should go with
Halladay
Litsch
Richmond
Romero
Cecil
and like you said send down Wolfe and Camp.
-
I think they should go with
Halladay
Litsch
Richmond
Romero
Cecil
and like you said send down Wolfe and Camp.
And if you have that rotation, Tallet and Janssen with be in the pen making it look like:
LHP-Tallet
LHP-Carlson
LHP-Ryan
RHP-Janssen
RHP-League
RHP-Accardo
RHP-Frasor
CLR-Downs
Nasty bullpen. Just hope there aren't any more injuries.
-
Its definitely a good problem to have I don't think anyone is complainting ha ha.And to think we lost aj Burnett
-
Another win for the jays.Four game sweep!Its too bad Carlsson fucked up the w for Richmond
-
another W baby 8)
RIOS comes up big!
-
Fantastic! After a little downer of a series against the Yanks they forget about it and came back with a 4 game sweep. This is what they have to do, just beat up on these shitty teams.
Carlson has been had a rough couple of outings, not like him.
Time for Boston! I wish Cito had some balls and put Halladay out there Thursday against them. He is a work horse and can handle short rest.
-
Ya that would be sweet if Roy gets a start in Boston....Keep the wins coming!!
-
These series is a big test for these young pitchers and will be a measuring stick on how long they stay.casey janssen has made 5 starts now in the minors and is sporting a 0.76 era.That's damn impressive
-
roy halladays not having a bad year
-
One of the worst games I've ever seen, I want those two and a half hours back. There must have been 15 soft, dinky pop up by the Jays. Ugly, ugly game.
And goddam Vernon Wells, 0 for 4 and I bet he didn't see more than 10 pitches and popped up 4 times. :-X
-
Kind of a boring game.pop up after pop up,blue jays were too aggressive against wakefield.They needed to take more pitches instead of swinging at the first pitch every at bat.I know that's their style at the plate this year and its brough them success but you can't do that against a guy like wakefiel.Still on the brightside tallet had another solid start.Looking forward to tommorows game
-
told ya the Sawx were better
-
I'd say losing a 2-1 game can't justify saying that.
-
I'd say losing a 2-1 game can't justify saying that.
-
So much for having the number one offence in the league they completely vanished this whole series.
-
shit series for the jays >:(
-
Pitching and fielding will not be the problem for this team. The hitting is the season long problem, Rios, Wells and Snider have to get going and they can't really go anywhere. The only move I really see that can make to improve the offense is get a real first baseman. I don't know who will take Overbay and what they could get for him. The future first baseman for the Jays in the minors, Cooper, isn't ready yet. I think we're stuck with this line-up, hopefully they can just get it going.
I don't know what they are waiting for with some of these guys in the minors. Send down Camp, Wolfe and Ray and bring up Janssen, Accardo and Romero. I don't what to do with Cecil, he's got great stuff and will be a permanent fixture in the rotation in the future, just not sure about now.
-
and Halladay should be pitching every fourth day the whole season.
-
I totally don't understand their decision to keep this band aid pitching staff.Tallet is not a starter and Cecil and ray are not quite ready yet.Wells and overbay are having terrible seasons.If they get going this offence will be amazing especially considering they have the number one ranked offence right now.They just wasted so many runners this series
-
Snider is going to Las Vegas, no word yet on who is coming up.
It's as good of time as any I guess. They are in Atlanta now with no DH so he wouldn't play anyways, might as well get some at-bats in AAA.
-
sorry but you guys lost my respect for not beating the Gay Sox
then again my can't beat t hem either but we just got our best playa back
-
Word is Inglett is the one coming up. I like it, he did a good job last year and is a solid utility player. He batted .297/.355/.407 in 344 ABs last year for the Jays.
-
Just heard on the FAN 590 Cecil and Ray are going to Las Vegas and Romero and Janssen are coming up.
Now just send down Camp for Accardo and I'll be happy.
-
Another great start by doc but whers the blue jays offense?did Tim wakefield eat it?
-
Bringing back memories of 2008.
-
That was a dumb decision to take out doc for a pinch hitter when you have two outs and very little going in the inning.
-
Rios and Wells are fucking brutal. Worst #3 and #4 hitters in the MLB.
I hate this team. (http://images.covers.com/covers/emoticons/an_arsed.gif)
-
Still this loss goes on citos shoulders.Why would you take out someone who is quite possibly the best pitcher in baseball and is throwing up a shutout for a minor league call up pitch hitter and then put in carlsson who's been brutal lately?Terrible management.
-
Pathetic.Loaded bases with one out and down by one run and you choke again.Ugh 5 games in a row
-
There is so much wrong with this team it's amazing.
I love this fact I heard today, Vernon Wells (the clean-up hitter remember) has 0 RBIs in the past 16 games. :o
-
Ive been wondering all season (and even last season) why Vern is still batting in the cleanup spot??? Its obvious Lind should be hitting in that spot right now.
-
damn, swept by the Braves.
Jays gotta get their act together soon.
-
It was all good just a week ago
-
Jays actually scoring runs? Hitting with runners on base? Is this really happening? (http://images.covers.com/covers/emoticons/an_getaway.gif)
-
they must have had an epiphany lol
-
Its about time.Maybe doc raged in the locker room and threatened to leave if he didn't get run support
-
Un-fuckingbelievable :o Can't get much lower than this.
-
LOL @ everybody thinking the blue jays are for real this year.
this is the 5th or 6th year in a row where they start out good..then just choke. Classic Blue Jays baseball :D. They will NEVER be good. Fuck em and fuck toronto
Yes, I am a hater.
However, I do feel sorry for anyone who bet on the blue jays the past two days lol. They might not be alive right now.
-
Well they do have two world series win in the last 20 years that's more then most teams can say
-
Un-fuckingbelievable :o Can't get much lower than this.
I dunno about that.....if we drop to the level of the Nationals, that seems much lower.
-

That's actually false. They have had poor Aprils in the past few years. I can't find where to look that up right now but I'm pretty sure it's true.
I dunno about that.....if we drop to the level of the Nationals, that seems much lower.
Yes, in the grand scheme of things, the Nationals are lower. But I'm saying, blowing a big lead with your ace on the mound, getting it back and blowing it again in extra innings to lose their 9th straight. I can't see there being a lower point in the season for the Jays that this (knock on wood).
-
And their still only a couple of games out of first
-
wow...i thought the jays were the dodgers of the AL...
what the fuck happened????
-
Could be just a bad stretch every team goes through it.At least I'm hoping so.This team is too talented for this to last much longer
-
Carlsson is a joke.They need to send him to the minors this is like the fourth or fifth appearance in a row that's he been destroyed
-
this is fucked up cant believe they lost yesterday after Hills homer in the 11th...They must be getting some bad karma to be losing games like that
-
Were still only a game and half out of first LOL
-
boston won...now ur 2 games back.
-
this is the 5th or 6th year in a row where they start out good..then just choke. Classic Blue Jays baseball :D. They will NEVER be good. Fuck em and fuck toronto
Here are the March/April records for the Jays the 6 years before this one. 3 of them they've had TERRIBLE starts and the other 3 years were only 1 game over .500 ball, decent starts, not good. So there pretty much goes that theory.
2008: 11-17 .393
2007: 13-12 .520
2006: 12-11 .522
2005: 13-12 .520
2004: 7-15 .416
2003: 10-18 .357
boston won...now ur 2 games back.
And will likely be 5 after this weekend.
They are facing Wakefield again tonight. The last time they played it was one ugly, ugly game. Hopefully getting back home turns things around.
-
*In JR voice*
JAYS WIN! JAYS WIN!
-
Big important win for the Jays. Still in this, hopefully just a bad stretch. This was a BIG WIN and is a big series for us. Will see how the rest of it goes.
-
bad loss today, but big series win!
-
Enough of Camp and Wolfe already, there are better arms in Vegas that can come up and take their place.
And what is up with Litsch? Still not back? It's been a month and a half, seems like a little much for a forearm strain.
-

i dont know what your farm system looks like in vegas...but if yall got pitchers down there who are pitching well...they might do well in the bigs. that park in vegas is a notorious hitters park. and if yall got hitters putting up good numbers there, take it with a grain of salt.
-
Good to know that fact about the park in Vegas. Couldn't find any info about that on the net.
Well it's 1-0 right now and that might be good enough tonight. Doc looks like he has his A+ stuff tonight, his 2-seamer and curveball are looking nasty right now. He's only let up one hit (a cheap one too) has 5 Ks and has faced the minimum through 4.
-
Damn, after having to sit a long time in the bottom of the 6th Halladay comes out and gets lit up for 4. Tight game again.
-
What an odd game this is.
#3 hitter Rios goes 0 for 5 with 5 Ks and the #4 hitter Lind goes 5 for 5
-
21 LOB for the Jays :grumpy:
-
damn, Jays lose another starter for the year (although he only made 2 starts this season).
Litsch is going for season-ending Tommy John surgery.
-
^he was sucking anyway
Halladay is the man btw 8)
-
fuck, Halladay hurt his groin. hope it aint a serious injury, our pitching staff is already depleted as it is.
-
What a horrible day. Jays lose to the Fish with Roy on the hill, Roy gets hurt and the Sox, Yanks and Rays win. >:(
About time to look forward to 2010.
-
Hopefully the injury isn't serious
-
What I joke, I just got the super sports pack from Rogers cable for an extra $20+ a month and I don't even get the Jays game on there. >:(
Have to watch play-by-play updates on CBSSportsline. ::)
Might be a good thing, looks like the Jays are getting killed already.
-
That was a pretty horrible weekend. And now they have to go to Philly and face Hamels tonight. Things are not looking up.
-

I could have but there was another game going on at that time that I had a bet on so I just watched that. Next season I'm going to try subscribe to that MLB.tv package, hopefully that's better.
Big win tonight for the Jays. Good start to the road trip.
-
yea i was pissed, but nopt too much because there was like 20 ways the jays should have won that before the 9th inning
-
These injuries to the pitchers are just getting ridiculous now, Halladay, Jassen and Downs are all on the DL now.
I'm not even sure who is called up, I know Mills for sure and I think Accardo and Cecil will be the other two.
And I can't stand Gaston whining about Downs' injuries, "my pitchers don't take BP or run, they shouldn't have to hit", sounds like an idiot.
-
thAT shjit was nasty yest, about 4th inning phillies looked like they were begging for the ump to call the game and go home, todays might get delayed or called, rainig all day here
-
Jays win! :D
Don't get this team, get swept at home by the Fish and then go on the road to Philly and sweep them. ???
-
big sweep!
-
we swept the Phillies, but lose 2 straight to the Nationals; wtf?!
-
This team is so inconsistent.
Coming to the end of June they are still in a playoff spot (tied). Not bad considering how bad (understatement) their starting pitching has been plagued by injuries. :-\
-
nice win for the Jays tonight.
and Halladay says he's ready to start Monday.
-
Red Sox righty Josh Beckett pitched seven shutout innings in Atlanta. Jays lefty Ricky Romero flirted with a no-hitter vs. the Phillies. And Yankees ace CC Sabathia was too much for the Mets.
Hah thats off mlb.com. Who the fuck thought they would be namin Romero at the start of this season with Beckett and Sabathia.
-
And now Barajas is going the gang on the DL. >:(
The team purchased Kyle Phillips' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace Barajas on the active roster. Raul Chavez should handle the bulk of the Jays' catching duties.
-
What happened to wells?He's become a mediocre player.Of all the great players the blue jays let go over the years the one they keep is a bust.
-
Ryan got released by the Jays today.
-
Good he fell apart as a player
-
bout time, what a bum Ryan turned into
-
bout time, what a bum Ryan turned into
-
He used to be the most exciting player on the team.He would charge and just blow through batters.Now as soon as they put him he gives up 3 runs
-
There' are rumours that Phillies might be the frontrunners to acquire Halladay.
-
Were trading halladay?
-
i do hope phils get halladay but they look like they giving up a LOT for him so im not so sure
-
Were trading halladay?
We're not shopping him around, but we weren't listening to any offers for him before.
Now, Ricciardi said he is willing to listen.
-
Jays wasted an awesome performance yesterday from Halladay and fucked up even worse today. Their season is falling harder than Marbury's career :(
-

fuckin jays wtf :-X :-\
-
Vernon wells is a cancer to this team
-
5 days till phils take halladay away
-
the Jays didn't blow the lead today thankfully.
as for Halladay, the Jays rejected the latest offer for him by the Phillies.
-
If they are going to get rid of Halladay and give up for 2010 too they REALLY should try to get rid of Rolen, just because he's at the highest value that he will probably get. There has to be some team that can use an excellent fielding 3rd baseman that hits .300
-
Well the reds want rolen
-
apparently Ricciardi is saying that Halladay likely won't be moved...I'm guessing he's bluffing.
other names in trade rumours: Rolen, Overbay, and Scutaro.
-
looks like the Phillies are turning their attention towards Cliff Lee instead, which could indicate Halladay stays a Jay for the rest of the season.
Ricciardi needs to make a deal soon for Halladay...he's going to test the market and will end up signing with a contender; Ricciardi can get at least 2 or 3 good prospects IMO for him.
-
I think jp is a terrible GM and I always have.He doesn't have a plan for the team at all he just randomly signs over priced veterans each year.He just ends up with a big cap and no results
-
they should ship halladay with wells and his rediculous contract, would def help toronto's cap for the next couple of years
-
Its kind of sad that of all the great players Toronto has lost over the years the one they decide to keep with wells turns into a bust
-
Rolen got shipped to the Reds.
Halladay stays; talks will resume in the off-season but I doubt we'll get as good an offer as we did before the deadline.
-
I drove down from Vancouver on wednesday to watch Doc pitch against the Mariners.... tough loss, but that was a wicked day.. I heard it was the hottest day in Seattle history? the players must have been dying, I was burned out just sitting in the crowd watching
