lol I never said all that. I'm just not about all that bottle popping when 2 days from now my season may be over. As a team I would only celebrate if/when the one game WC game to advance to the real thing

Did the Tigers get shit-fucked on Budweiser and imitation Dom Perignon?

Seriously, you made the fucking Wild Card Game! Are the winners tomorrow going to do that all over again?

Pretty sure they are. I just never been a fan of this one game garbage. Hated since they started this. My solution is cut the season short by 4-6 games and just make the wildcard round a short best of 3 series. By cutting the season short by a few games, you don't want have to worry about the season ending in November.

I don't see how we(I say we, because I can see you are an O's fan now) don't have Tillman out there. The Jays have options, my guess would be Stroman.

Probably Liriano, with Stroman in the BP just in case. Stroman had an iffy season all around but was particularly bad vs. the O's. Liriano only made one start against them but pitched 6+ shutout innings.

That makes sense, maybe a little wishful think on my part. I don't really wanna see Liriano.

Right now, it looks like either Tillman or Ubaldo for the O's. As for the Jays, I'm guessing one of the three of Happ, Stroman or Liriano.

He's really been great, particularly the past couple weeks.

Still puzzled by that trade - the Pirates gave us two (supposedly) good prospects in that deal too and all the Jays gave up was Drew Hutchison's rotted corpse.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Sounds like it's Stroman going tomorrow.

Would like to hear the rationale behind that.

I like the matchup. Just got to get the road bats going. GD I wish this game was in Camden Yards.

Agree, that bodes well for Baltimore. Not that the O's are throwing anyone the Jays can't handle at them:

Yepp. Still our best chance at getting the W.

Advantage clearly seems to favor the O's tonight when it comes to the pitching matchup
