Rangers sweep is my prediction

I'm going to have to start writing down all the dumb Dung you say.

I will do the same. "Mike Hoffman should score 35 goals"

Except that's reasonable considering he'll get increased ice time, more PP time, and better linemates this season.  Saying the Jays, the hottest team in the league since the All-Star break, are going to get swept is foolish, especially considering David Price is the Game 1 starter.

SpezDispensed wrote:So, if all goes to plan, I would imagine it lines up like this for the Jays:

1.Revere
2.Donaldson
3.Bautista
4.Encarnacion
5.Smoak/Colabello
6.Martin
7.Tulo
8.Goins
9.Pillar

Game 1: Price
Game 2: Stroman
Game 3: Dickey (going to Texas, hot weather, knuckle will work, they'll probably leave him for 3rd)
Game 4: Estrada or Price, depending on what the series is at
Game 5: Stroman or Price or Stroman, depending on what the series is at

That lineup is disgusting.  Damn!!

Yeah, looks good.  Having Tulo back is nice.  

One note, I was listening to someone talk about how Dickey could be the game 2 starter with the roof closed at the Skydome to maximize the effectiveness of the knuckle ball.

Sorry, if you don't have any vacation time left you take an unpaid day.  Or work it out with your manager to work late other days or add some time on the weekend.

Baseball is the only major sport that plays games during regular working hours on a regular basis.  It's bizarre.  And then to do it for playoff games is flat-out batty.

people actually complain that the games are shown at night now. It used to be always during the day. there's not really that many day games anymore other than getaway days and weekends
